Veteran British Leftist Jeremy Corbyn was elected chief of the UK Labour party by a landslide, winning on the first vote with nearly 60 percent.  He is now selecting his Shadow Cabinet, albeit without several Labour centrists who immediately resigned.  Corbyn spent his career on the backbench, but won support outside of Whitehall with his anti-austerity, anti-war message, and favoring a return to a progressive taxation system to require the wealthiest to pay their fair share.  Opponents and Blairites crawled out of the woodwork to threaten that Labour would never again win an election if Corbyn became leader.  

But Corbyn's candidacy for labor leader brought in a wave of new members - mainly young people whom the jaded and mandarins had convinced themselves weren't interested in politics.  They paid three pounds each to sign up as affiliated supporters, carrying Corbyn to victory with 85 percent of their ballots.  Trade Unionists also broke for Corbyn, motivated by the growing sense that the post-Tony Blair "New Labour" party is "Tory Lite" and just isn't working for working people.  "The media and many of us, simply didn't understand the views of young people in our country," Corbyn explained.  "They were turned off by the way politics was being conducted.  We have to and must change that." 

Singapore's governing People's Action Party (PAP) maintained its 50-year winning streak and claimed an overwhelming victory in the city-state's elections.

An explosion tore through a restaurant in Petlawad in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, killing 89 people.  A gas cylinder blew up, which was bad enough - but while people were looking through the restaurant for loved ones, it ignited a cache of explosives used in mining that were illegally stored near the eatery.  The building was torn apart.

Europe's east-west divide over how to handle the Refugee Crisis played out on the streets as tens of thousands of people held rallies in the west to welcome asylum seekers to their countries.  There were also several support rallies in Australia.  But smaller numbers turned out in places like Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic for xenophobic protests against the influx of Middle Easterners and Africans fleeing war and starvation in their former homes. 

Hungary has summoned the Austrian Ambassador, after the Chancellor Werner Faymann in Vienna likened Hungary's actions to the way the nazis treated Jews in the 1930s and '40s.  Faymann said Hungary's decision to tell refugees that a train they were boarding was bound for Austria, when in fact it was heading to a refugee camp was reminiscent "of the darkest chapter of our continent's history".  Hungary accused Faymann of "spreading lies" and making it more difficult to find common ground between the eastern and western European Union nations. 

France has suspended its honorary counsul in Turkey after Francoise Olcay was caught on video selling inflatable dinghies and life jackets to refugees planning to cross to Greece and the EU.  Olcay's marine goods shop in the town of Bodrum flies the French Flag and displays a sign reading "Consular Agency of France".  In a televised report, she said Turkish officials were in on it; and if she didn't, someone else would sell the goods to asylum seekers.

Two Russian cargo planes arrived in Syria, amid fears that the Kremlin is stepping up its assistance to its ally President Bashar al-Assad.  The Russians say the planes contained tents, beds, stoves, and food for setting up a refugee camp in the war-torn country.  Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov denies a military build-up, but acknowledges it is sending some military aid in accordance with existing contracts.

Egypt's cabinet has quit - no reason was given, but it followed the arrest of the agriculture in a boring old bribes-for-contracts corruption probe.  The oil minister will form a new government for President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, who has promised to fight corruption in government.

Police in Brazil asked the Supreme Court for permission to question former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva about the corruption scandal at the state-owned oil company Petrobras.  The court is still considering the request.  Lula's successor, current President Dilma Rousseff, has been cleared of any involvement. 

Kenya unveiled a memorial to the people killed and tortured by British forces during the Mau Mau Rebellion against British colonial rule during the 1950s.  It was paid for with a previous settlement from the UK to Kenya, which came with statement of regret from London.  The statue depicts a Kenyan woman handing food to a dreadlocked Mau Mau fighter, their faces turned away so that they could not identify each other if questioned by the British.
