Hello Australia!! - Republicans fail to examine their racist supporters after a quip from Hillary - Dozens are killed in the lead up to the next Syrian cease fire - Fiji's democracy seems fragile as opposition figures are rounded up - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Hillary Clinton made conservatives heads explode by declaring that half of fascist demagogue Donald Trump's supporters were from a "basket of deporables" including racists and bigots, sexists, anti-Semites and Islamophobes, and other malcontents.  She later walked back the "half" part as an unnecessary generalization, but not the initial sentiment that Trump has ignited and empowered a racist vein in the US.  This is the full quote:

"To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the 'basket of deplorables'. Unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up."

Trump's campaign and the Republican party have demanded an apology and mischaracterized Clinton's remarks as being about all conservatives or working people, which they very clearly are not.  And there's the additional problem for the Republicans that much of the deplorable behavior that Clinton rejects has been caught on camera.  And the former head of the ku klux klan and the founder of the neonazi website stormfront have both endorsed Trump.  The worst part is that the Republicans are choosing to lash out at Hillary, while not reflecting on their own alliances with racist and nazi scum.  Follow this to a bunch of links proving the seething racism and bifotry that makes up the principle support of Trump's campaign.

Air strikes on rebel held areas killed more than 80 people in Syria in the hours after US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced a nationwide truce in Syria.  One attack on a vegetable market in Idlib killed at least 37 people while another 45 died in strikes on Aleppo.  The pact calls for the Syrian government and the opposition to respect a nationwide ceasefire scheduled to take effect at sundown Monday.  The Syrian government says it will respect the deal, although it's apparent it is getting its licks in beforehand.  Hezbollah, which is backing the government, also announced it would abide by the deal.

Fiji police detained a number of opposition figures and labor leaders, apparently for having a discussion about the constitution.  "It goes against the grain as far as freedom of assembly and freedom of association is concerned," said opposition MP Prem Singh, "I think this is intimidating and it's not good for our democracy."  Fiji police spokeswoman Ana Naisoro claimed comments made at the forum which "could affect the safety and security of all Fijians".  Fiji's constitution was imposed by the military during the coup years prior to the 2014 elections.

More than 20 people are dead in a factory fire in Bangladesh.  This happened in Tongi, north of the capital Dhaka, and is believed to have been caused by an exploding boiler.

At least eleven people are dead in a magnitude 5.7 earthquake in Tanzania.  They were in unreinforced brick structures in the town of Bukoba, said regional police commander Augustine Olomi.  There could be more deaths and injuries as reports come in from the bookdocks of the relatively undeveloped African nation.  The quake was shallow - only about 10 kilometers beneath the earth's surface - and felt in Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda as well.

Nearly 2 million Muslims are in Saudi Arabia for the annual Hajj religious pilgrimage.  But Iranians are noticeably absent, a year after the stampede that killed hundreds of people.  Saudi Arabia claims 769 people were killed, but unofficial estimates are more than three-times that.  Tehran blames "Saudi incompetence" for the stampede and crush; a top Saudi Sunni cleric was removed from officials programs when he claimed that Iranian Shiites weren't "real" Muslims.
