Hello, Australia! – The latest compromise sure seems to stick a fork in Greece – Americans believe an escaped Mexican drug lord could not have gotten out of a US prison – The head of Nintendo dies – And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

The president of Nintendo Satoru Iwata died of bile duct cancer at the relatively young age of 55.  He was only the fourth president of a firm that opened in Kyoto, Japan in 1889 to make playing cards, and the first president to come from outside the founding Yamauchi family.  Iwata turned the company’s fortunes around by spearheading development of the Nintendo DS and Wii consoles.

The latest “compromise” proposal on the table at the Greek debt talks at EU headquarters in Brussels really doesn’t sound like a compromise at all.  It would force Greece to enact sweeping reforms – in other words, selling off the public works, electric utilities, ports; everything privatized at bargain prices – by Wednesday night.  Or, Athens would be offered a ‘temporary Grexit’, described as an opportunity to restructure its debts.  Doesn’t sound like much of a deal, does it?

Tempers flared in Brussels, and European media is reporting of a “fierce altercation” between the Italian PM Matteo Renzi and his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte.  The two are on opposite sides of the Greek debt debate.  Renzi has lost patience with the northern creditor bloc and is trying to steer negotiators to a deal that ends Greece’s humiliation; Rutte is with the grumpy Teutonic group trying not-so-subtly to push Greece under the bus.

The six major world powers and Iran might be close to finally announcing a deal on scaling back Tehran’s nuclear program.  Talks in Vienna adjourned on Sunday with only a few disputes yet to be resolved.  The goal is for Iran to give up its nuclear enrichment operations in exchange for the world powers easing and eventually removing economic sanctions.  Although the six powers – the US, UK France, Germany, Russia, and China – insist on the option of reimposing the restrictions if Tehran breaches the agreement.

American officials are angry with Mexico after the escape of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman from prison – through a rather elaborate and well-constructed tunnel out of what is supposed to be Mexico’s most-secure prison.  When El Chapo was sentenced last year, the Mexican judge insisted he would serve his prison time in Mexico before being extradited to the US to face drug charges.  The Americans believe that, if recaptured, Guzman ought to be housed in a US supermax prison.

At least 17 civilians died in a suicide car bombing at Camp Chapman, a former US base in Afghanistan.  The victims were mostly women and children.  It’s not clear if this was the work of Islamic State or the Taliban.

Five men from Kiribati are safe, after getting lost at sea for five days until the US Coast Guard located them.  They had set off for a fishing trip on Monday, and were reported missing two days later.  A coast guard helicopter found them a thousand miles from Hawaii; dropped food, water, radios, and a beacon; and then coordinated ships to pick up the men, more than a thousand miles from Hawaii.

A Scottish woman died in hospital after having spent three days trapped and injured in a crashed car next to the body of her dead boyfriend.  The accident was reported on the day it happened, Sunday 5 July – but Scottish police didn’t bother to check out the wreck near Stirling until Wednesday.  25-year old Lamara Bell lingered in hospital under Sunday morning.  Officials are now trying to determine who screwed up and why.
