Hello Australia! - Iranians storm the Saudi Embassy after a prominent cleric is executed - France is thirsting for political renewal - The state of South Africa's Rhinoceros population is questioned - And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

There are fears of unrest in Saudi Arabia after the Sunni-dominated oil kingdom executed 47 prisoners for alleged terrorism offenses, including a prominent Shiite cleric who preached non-violence.  Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr has long been a thorn in the side of the royal family by calling for greater democracy in areas where Shiites form the majority but are marginalized politically, urging followers to avoid violence and to resist police bullets using only "the roar of the word".  Analysts say it was wrong to lump Al-Nimr in with prisoners convicted of murders and bombings.  "To lump this guy with terrorists is a stretch," said Frederic Wehrey of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.  "To my knowledge, he never called for armed insurrection."

Saudi Arabia's main rival in the region quickly condemned the execution of a fellow Shiite.  "The Saudi government supports terrorist movements and (radical Sunni extremists), but confronts domestic critics with oppression and execution," said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari, "The Saudi government will pay a high price for following these policies."  Protests broke out in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, India, and elsewhere.  More are planned for Sunday in other areas.  Iranian protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran, kicking in doors and setting fires.

The Saudi-led coalition is ending its cease-fire in Yemen, accusing the Iran-backed Houthi rebels it is fighting of violating the deal on a daily basis, and firing missiles across the border into Saudi Arabia.  "All this shows their lack of seriousness and disregard for civilian lives as well as their attempt to take advantage of the truce to achieve gains," read a statement from the coalition.  More than 6,000 people have died in fighting since March, and 80 percent of Yemen's population now requires international aid.

Israeli police have a name to go with the suspect in the Tel Aviv cafe shooting:  They're searching for 29-year old Mashat Melhem, an Israeli Arab from the north of the country.  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Israeli Arab leaders for condemning the killings - but then warned of more police actions in Palestinian areas, and then claiming that Israel is danger of harboring "a state within a state with Islamist incitement and illegal arms".

The Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al Shabaab in Somalia is using news clips of US Republican party presidential candidate Donald Trump in its new recruiting propaganda video.  Trump has made several idiotic racist and Islamophobic statements in stirring up the ignorant or just plain hateful rabble to support him.  A recording of a cleric killed in a drone strike reminds the viewer that the US was once "a land of slavery, segregation, lynching" and warns that it will "eventually turn against its Muslim citizens" - using Trump as evidence.  Late last year, US racist terrorist groups like the ku klux klan were discovered using Trump's speeches and rallies as recruiting tools as well.

More than a thousand people marched in Kiev on the 107th anniversary of the birth of one of Ukraine's worst citizens, the nazi-collaberator Stepan Bandera who stood by as thousands of Jews were deported to death camps.  They waved the blue and yellow flags of the Svoboda party, allies of the US-backed coalition government. 

Almost three quarters of French voters do not want a repeat of the Sarkozy-Hollande election, preferring that fresh candidates run in 2017.  However, the rematch of conservative former President Nicolas Sarkozy and incumbant Socialist President Francois Hollande is pretty much a given in the current political climate.  Beyond that, 88 percent of those responding to the Odoxa poll for Le Parisien said politics in general needs "rejuvenation".  Socialist Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron has the highest approval ratings as a candidate, while neo-fascist politician Marion Marechal-Le Pen is second.

For the eighth consecutive year, Cuba's low infant mortality rate placed it among the top 20 nations in the world in terms of the number deaths of children under the age of one.  It's also the leading country in the Americas, with Cuban tots having a better survival rate than their neighbors in the United States.  These sorts of successes are considered unusual in a nation usually classified as "developing".  Dr. Roberto Alvarez Fumero, Head of Maternal and Child Department of the Ministry of Public Health, says Cuba's low infant mortality rate is "achieved with decisive participation in perinatal care wards, neonatal units and pediatric intensive care networks, pediatric cardiology surgery and neonatal care, complemented by cross-sectoral and community participation in supporting health activities."

There's disagreement over whether Rhino poaching in South Africa is getting better or worse.  Elise Daffue  of StopRhinoPoaching.com, said 1,160 animals were poached last year - down from 1,215 in 2014.  If true, it would be the first annual drop since 2008.  However, Britain's Prince Harry on a visit to South Africa last month said that more than 1,500 rhinoceros were killed by illegal hunting, although he didn't cite a source.  And Conservationist Allison Thomson says the number must be higher because of the increase in rhino orphans in the bush.:  "The stats do not reflect the collateral damage of rhinos that died subsequent to being a victim of an attempted poaching and all the carcasses that lie in the bush yet to be found," she said.  South Africa is home to most of the world's rhinos.
