Hello, Australia! – A fallen Hip Hop impresario is accused of killing a guy – Have Egyptian militants switched allegiance to Islamic State? – A man with a gun invades the set of the evening news – And a lot more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

You know what?  It’s the weekend.  Before we get to the death and destruction, here’s a baby Orangutan drinking milk from a baby bottle. 

And now for the mayhem:

Late breaking from Hollywood – police say former Rap Mogul Suge Knight ran over two men with his truck after arguing with them.  A 55-year old man is dead and a 51-year old is injured (yes, that’s how long ago “gangster rap” was.. these guys are hitting their 50s now).  According to the gossip site TMZ, the altercation started when Suge was denied entry to the set of “Straight Outta Compton”, a biopic of the rap group N.W.A., which launched the careers of Ice Cube and Doctor Dre (the guy on your trendy headphones).  Cube and Dre were reportedly not on the set.  Suge has been in and out of trouble for decades – he was shot six times at a club last year, he has been arrested for various offenses and did at least two prison stints, and he lost all of his rap money and filed for bankruptcy.  Police were talking to his lawyer about turning himself in.

Speaking of cantankerous old men, United States Senator John McCain might be finally ready for rubber room.  The failed republican presidential candidate said, “Get out of here, you low-life scum,” in a Senate hearing.  It happened as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was sitting down to testify about some global security crap, and members of the anti-war group Code Pink shouted out in protest.  Just FYI, this is a level of bitterness and vitriol not heard in public in the US Capitol building, and surely never in an actual hearing.  Code Pink denounced Kissinger “for complicity in the bombings in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos; the overthrow of the Allende government in Chile; and the Indonesian invasion of East Timor.”

Militants killed at least 26 people on Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, the victims being mostly soldiers.  It’s prompting fears that the al-Sisi government’s policy of home demolitions, curfews and sweeping arrests is failing to choke off a growing terrorist insurgency there.  A group calling itself “Sinai Province of the Islamic State” took credit for the bloodshed, its name suggestive of either inspiration or a direct connection to the Islamic State terrorist group wreaking havoc in Syria and Iraq. 

Video has emerged of the gas explosion at a maternity hospital in Mexico City, showing the power of the blast that leveled part of the facility and heavily damaged the rest.  Some families breathed sighs of relief, as officials lowered the death toll from eight or more to three lives lost – a nurse and two babies.  Several infants have been found alive and evacuated to other hospitals.  The gas truck driver and two other employees of the Express Nieto company were hospitalized under police custody pending further investigation.

Speaking of crazy video, a 19-year old with a fake gun briefly took over the set of a newscast in the studios of the Netherlands’ national broadcaster NOS, before being arrested.  It forced the channel to go off the air, sparking anxiety because it’s only a few weeks since the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.  Cops with real guns arrested the kid, who claimed to be from a “hackers’ collective”.  His identity hasn’t been released yet.

Russian military planes flying right up to the edge of British airspace have caused “disruption to civil aviation”, according to the Foreign Office.  The government has summoned the Russian ambassador to explain.  Although the Russian bombers were shadowed by RAF fighter jets the entire time they were within the British area of interest, the Russians did not file a flight plan, did not have their transponders switched on, and “weren’t talking to air traffic control”.

Earlier this week, Cuban President Raul Castro told Latin American leaders that the normalization of relations with the United States would have to come along with the US returning the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.  And on Thursday, the White House said, “Nah”.
