Hello Australia! - Europe reaches a deal with Turkey to stop the flow of refugees - The US drone strike program is revealed as highly inaccurate in leaked documents - Guards ignored the obvious sounds of an escape before a drug lord blew prison - And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

European leaders have approved an action plan to assist Turkey to deal stem the flow of refugees and migrants from the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia who use the country as a gateway into the EU.  More than 600,000 have flooded into the EU this way since the start of the year.  Turkey made a number of demands in exchange for dealing with the migrants and tackling smuggler; demands such as making it easier for Turkish citizens to travel into Europe's Schengen Zone, within which allows freedom of movement without border checks.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov was forced to leave the European Council leaders' summit in Brussels to deal with a crisis back home:  A warning shot fired by a Bulgarian border guard at a group trying to cross the border from Turkey ricocheted and killed an Afghan man.  It's Bulgaria's first serious incident with an asylum seeker.  Bulgaria is part of the EU, and has militarized its border with Turkey to try and stop refugees.

Tragedy in the Aegean Sea:  Twelve members of a Lebanese family climbed into a fragile boat to try to cross from Turkey to Greece and the European Union - only three survived, two children and a man who held on to his wife for hours in the cold and choppy waters until she died in his arms.  The only other surviving member of the Safwan family learned of the tragedy while in Beirut; before they died, her parents had decided she should stay behind to finish her last year of university.  Lebanon is under tremendous stress from hosting 1.2 million refugees from Syria, and thousands of Lebanese have joined the others who picked up and tried to make a go of things in Europe.

Nearly 90 percent of the people killed by US drone strikes were not the intended target.  A new report from The Intercept - a website by the same journalists who reported on Edward Snowden's revelations about spying by the Anglophone nations' "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance - highlights classified documents that detail the drone program, and corroborate numerous reports of civilian deaths.  In the hunt for terrorists, US drone strikes have killed scores of civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia since 2009. 

At least 30 people are dead in twin blasts at a mosque in Maiduguri, Nigeria.  That's right in the middle of Borno State, the center of the Boko Haram islamist insurgency.  The attack followed the classic terrorist pattern:  The first blast targeted the doors to the mosque, the second was positioned to kill people as they ran away.

Mexican TV News broadcast CCTV videos from the prison escape of the country's most famous drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.  It shows guards apparently unconcerned about the sounds of hammers and drilling from the Guzman's cell.  The drug lord turns up his TV to cover up the noise.  Then, he disappears down the escape hole cut into the shower stall in his cell.  Guards don't bother to check on him for 26 minutes.  July's breakout was the second time that the leader of the Sinaloa Drugs Cartel escaped from a Mexican prison.

A major Japanese construction company is in trouble after a condominium building developed a tilt, because it failed to make sure the pilings holding up the eleven-storey condominium reached all the way down to bedrock.  Residents of the building in Yokohama noticed that handrails were no longer aligned, and building inspectors found it leaning 2.4 centimeters off center.  Asahi Kasei stock took a 15 percent beating on the Nikkei, and the company will assume all costs of somehow going under the leaning tower of Yokohama and anchoring the pilings into bedrock.
