Hello, Australia! – An ominous warning in Burundi – Voters deal a crippling blow to Osaka’s controversial mayor – Does Ukraine finally have proof of Russian involvement in the unrest in the east? – And a lot more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

Officials in Burundi are warning demonstrators not to come out on Monday, because the police won’t be able to distinguish political protesters from Islamic extremists.  That off-the-wall warning has very little to do with the reason for the weeks of protests against President Pierre Nkurunziza’s decision to run for a third term in office – and suggests the government is setting up a pretext for a crackdown.  Nkurunziza made his first public appearance on Sunday since surviving a coup attempt last week.  He didn’t mention the coup, but talked about regional cooperation against the terrorist group al Shabaab.

US Federal investigators have joined local law enforcement on the seen of bikie fight in Waco, Texas that killed nine people and injured 18, all members of outlaw motorcycle clubs – so far identified as the Scimitars, the Cossacks, and the Bandidos, which has 17 chapters in Australia.  At least 25 people are under arrest.  A bar in a mall right in the center of town decided it’d be a great idea to host a conference of bikie gangs.  Witnesses say the trouble went from fists to chains and knives to guns pretty quickly – all just a few meters from restaurants where families and grannies had just sat down to lunch.

Extreme athletes Dean Potter and Graham Hunt were killed in what appears to be an accident during an illegal Wingsuit BASE jump in California’s Yosemite National Park, one of the world’s most beautiful places.  BASE jumping is leaping from a natural ledge or skyscraper with a parachute, or in this case, a wingsuit.  The highly dangerous ‘sport’ is strictly banned in Yosemite.  Potter was known to take his dog Whisper with him on jumps – but two sources say Whisper was not with Potter on his last jump.

Scary landings as high winds slapped passenger plane around at Portugal’s Madeira International airport.

Osaka voters rejected a referendum on reorganizing local government to turn Japan’s western metropolis into a mega-city like Tokyo.  That’s a major defeat for Mayor Toru Hashimoto, who has more or less based his entire political career on the issue.  He promised to serve the remainder of his term and then retire from politics.  It creates backbench problems for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who backed the reform – only to see Osaka members of his ruling conservative LDP party team up with the opposition Democrats and the Communists to oppose it.

Ah, it’s great to be in first place!  Australia finds its place in the sun..

Ukraine says its military forces have captured two Russian soldiers fighting alongside rebels in the eastern Donbass region.  The Kremlin has reportedly denied sending troops to aid the pro-Russian rebels, but the captured troops are on video clearly saying they are from the central Russian city of Tolyatti.  Although there’s a ceasefire in effect, daily clashes between government troops and rebels take place daily.
