Hello Australia! - Rescuers make a grim discovery on an migrant ship - Japan's Emperor says what the Prime Minister couldn't bring himself to say - China orders evacuations near the scene of the big chemical explosion - And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

At least 40 people died choking on engine fumes on a migrant boat in the Meditarranean Sea. The Italian Navy intercepted the boat after it left Libya, rescuing more than 300 migrants - but also discovering that dozens were locked in the unventilated cargo hold.  More than 2,000 migrants have died trying to cross the sea so far this year.

Clashes broke out on the Greek island of Kos as hundreds of migrants fought to get a space on a cruise ship that had been brought around to temporarily meet their housing needs.  Thousands of migrants from the Middle East and Africa have washed ashore so far this year, and it's gotten to the point that hundreds of tents line the parks, parkways, and beaches.

The International Monetary Fund is calling on Eurozone finance minister to offer Greece "significant" debt relief.  "Greece cannot restore debt sustainability solely through actions on its own,"said IMF Chief Christine Lagarde, urging debt relief that would be "well beyond what has been considered so far".  This come after Eurozone finance ministers approved a third bailout.

China is sending out mixed signals in the aftermath of the giant explosions at the Binhai industrial park in Tianjin.  Officials ordered the evacuation of some 6,000 residents residents within a three kilometer radius of the blast site over fears of chemical contamination.  Police confirmed the highly toxic chemical sodium cyanide was found near the site.  But other authorities denied this, and some officials denied there was an evacuation.  The death toll is more at least 104 lives lost.

Japanese Emperor Akihito for the first time expressed his "deep remorse" for Japan's conduct in World War II.  Speaking at Japan's official memorial marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the war, Akihito said, "Reflecting on our past and bearing in mind the feelings of deep remorse over the last war, I earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never be repeated."  It goes further than Akihito's staements of past years, which used the phrase "deep sorrow".  It also stands in contrast to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's statement, which echoed past PM's apologies but added that future generations should not be required to follow suit.  Abe has been widely criticized for his plans to reinterpret the constitution to allow more use of Japanese troops in international missions.

If the Emperor is gently rebuking Shinzo's Abe's militarism, nature is tweeking his energy policy.  Japan's Meteorological Agency is warning that increased smoke and gas from the Sakurajima volcano could be a sign that a bigger eruption is on the way.  Sakurajima is only a few kilometers from the Sendai Nuclear Power Plant, which was restarted over the objections of campaigners who say it's too close to the volcano, and who don't want a repeat of the Fukushima triple meltdown.

Ecuador's Cotopaxi Volcano erupted for the first time since the 1940s, sending a column of smoke and ash several kilometers into the sky.  It's located only around 50 kilometers from the capital Quito.

Is Tony out of his mind?  Can't ignore this for much longer.

Masked men hurled smoke bomb into a venue hosting a forum on LGBT rights in Ukraine's port city Odessa.  The group was meeting their after city officials cancelled their planned march over fears of violence, and threats from fascist groups.  Odessa Pride spokesman Kyrylo Bodelan denounced the ban, saying it was "illegal and violates our constitutional right of assembly". 

A court in southern Congo charged 34 people with genocide in ethnic violence that has killed hundreds of people since 2013.  The violence has largely been directed at the indigenous pygmy group called the Batwa, which is seeking to end forced labor and other rights abuses.  One of the worst episodes hapened in April when attackers killed some 30 men, women, and children in a Batwa camp.  Human Rights Watch released a report this week urging the government to protect civilians.
