Hello Australia!! - Trump's vulgarity sends a panic through the US Republican Party - How Julian Assange lost the weekend, and maybe a lot more - Russia's newest nuclear moves in the heart of NATO - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The US Republican Party is in full-on crisis mode one month before the presidential election, after a video emerged showing presidential nominee Donald Trump making foul and vulgar comments about women.  This included Trump bragging about grabbing women's genitalia without permission and getting away with it because he is a "star".  That's called "sexual assault", BTW.  The video was unused B-roll from a segment on the TV show "Access Hollywood" in 2005, just after Trump married his third wife Melania.  The banter took place with host Billy Bush - a nephew of former Republican president George W. Bush - and even though both were wearing microphones and spoke in front of TV technicians, they didn't know or didn't care that they were being recorded. 

Hours afterwards, Trump released a half-arsed video in which he attempts to apologize, but then childishly made unsubstantiated allegations about Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband former US President Bill Clinton.  The pugnacious attitude merely added gasoline to the fire.  Billy Bush also tweeted an apology for his role as "wing man" in the leaked video.  Neither man referred to the women they were heard ogling, soap opera actress Arianne Zucker and TV host Nancy O'Dell, the latter of whom released a statement expressing regret "that these comments still exist in our society at all", and "no female, no person, should be the subject of such crass comments".

Throughout Saturday, top-level Republicans sought to distance themselves from the toxic standard-bearer.  Arizona Senator and 2008 presidential candidate John McCain, New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte (once mentioned as a possible presidential contender), former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger all said they will not vote for Trump.  Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said bluntly, "Trump should not be president."  Others demanded he step down as candidate, and some suggested that Indiana Governor and vice presidential candidate Mike Pence either take over the ticket or leave it.  Pence released a statement expressing his shock, shock that this orange man-pig who has been saying vile things in their political arena for two years had said vile things - but didn't have the guts to actually take a stand. 

Later, Trump tweeted that the "media" wants him out of the race and that he would "never" leave.  And he made a brief appearance outside Trump Tower in New York, where a small group of the deplorables applauded and high-fived him.  Gross.

The videotape overshadowed an even worse revelation from the vaults of the American media:  Trump appeared on the Howard Stern show on radio in 2004, giving his okay to Stern referring to Trump's daughter Ivanka as a "piece of ass".  Trump's history of making inappropriate sexual comments about his daughter has raised concerns before.

Hillary Clinton says she will not comment on the latest October surprises until the next Presidential Debate on Sunday night in Saint Louis, Missouri. 

The biggest loser of this weekend might not be Trump, and might not even be an American - Julian Assange's Wikileaks released what were purported to be "secret" transcripts of Hillary Clinton's speeches before closed conferences at big banks.  But, not only did practically no one care, the authenticity of the documents is in doubt.  The documents appear to show Hillary's support of "open trade and open borders" (like we didn't know that already), and except for her recent rejected of the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal, don't differ significantly from her public positions.  However, the documents were apparently obtained by Russian hackers from the email account of a Clinton aide; and security experts note that they appear to have been adulterated, catching some journalists off guard.  The first hint is the poor use of grammar.  If Julian Assange is now nothing more than a tool of the Kremlin's propaganda army, what credibility does he have?  And what value is he to Ecuador, whose embassy in London serves as Julian's personal hidey-hole?

Meanwhile...

Russia moved nuclear-capable Iskander-M Missiles and mobile launchers to Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania "as part of military training of the Russian armed forces," said defense ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov.  Poland and Lithuania are understandably nervous.  "The deployment not only increases tensions in the region, but also possibly violates international treaties which limit deployment of ballistic missiles of range of over 500 kilometers," said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius.  From Kaliningrad, an Iskander-M could easily hit Berlin.  Germany, Poland, and Lithuania are NATO members - the alliance will seek a meeting with Russia for an explanation.

Oh, and the US is practicing dropping nukes.  And wants you to know about it.
