Hello, Australia! - Obama stands against Carbon - Names are being bandied about as possible replacements for Bronwyn Bishop, now that she's stepped down as Speaker - An unspeakable crime prompts a major shift in policy for Israel - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

US President Barack Obama later on Monday will unveil the final version of his plan to tackle greenhouse gases from coal-fired power plants.  It's expected to kick-off a tough legal battle between federal environmental regulators and the coal industry. The goal is to slash carbon emissions from the power sector by 32 percent by 2030 from 2005 levels - a nine percent increase over a previous proposal - as well as to force the electricity sector to abandon the stinky, smoky old ways and move quickly to clean technology.  Mr. Obama will call it the most important step the US has ever taken to cut carbon emmissions, but he faces stiff opposition from the republican congress.

Veteran Liberal MP Phillip Ruddock wants to replace Bronwyn Bishop as Speaker of the House.  The 72-year old was replaced as chief government whip for failing to anticipate the ruling party backbench unrest earlier this year.  Nationals MP and Deputy House Speaker Bruce Scott is another likely candidate, according to the ABC, and already has the backing of an unlikely person:  Opposition leader Bill Shorten.  "Now it may sound odd a Labor guy proposing that someone from another party should get a go, but I think Bruce Scott's sufficiently unpartisan," Shorten said.

A piece of metal that washed up on French Renunion Island in the Indian Ocean is being discounted as a possible evidence in the crash of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370.  The twisted piece of flotsam is more than likely a part of a ladder.  But the tides continue to bring more debris to the shore on La Reunion, thanks to the Indian Ocean Gyre, so who knows what it will bring.  The big piece found last week - the flapperon from the wing of a Boeing 777 - is still considered to be likely from the missing flight and is being examined in Paris.

Israel says it will detain Jewish terrorism suspects without trial.  This comes as the government comes under pressure after the arson attack on a Palestinian home that burned an 18-month old baby boy to death, and left his parents and four-year old brother in hospital in a critical condition.  The suspects are right-wing Israeli settlers, although none have been specifically identified and no group has come forward to claim responsibility.  Prior to this, Israel has applied so-called "administrative detention" solely to Palestinians.

Nigeria's military is claiming a major score against Boko Haram:  Nearly 180 hostages rescued south of Maiduguri, and the capture of a Boko Haram commander.  "During the offensive operations, 178 people held captives by the terrorists were rescued; they include 101 children, 67 women and 10 men respectively," Nigerian Army spokesman Colonel Tukur Gusau said in a statement.  Last week, the army said it had released 30 hostages including 21 children about 90 kilometres east of Maiduguri, and 59 captives in another operation in the same area.

The closest ally of Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza has been killed in a drive-by attack.  General Adolphe Nshimirimana was the de facto internal security chief andthe president's most effective deputy.  Nkurunziza set off weeks of internal strife with his campaign for a third term in office, something that critics said was unconstitutional and Western donor nations advised against.  The African Union condemned the killing of Nshimirimana, saying it will further "destabilize" the country.

Drummer Phil Rudd was back in court in New Zealand, pleading not guilty to breaching the rules of his home detention sentence by drinking alcohol.  The judge allowed Rudd to remain in home confinement on bail pending a November hearing on the possible breach.  Phil's future with AC/DC, if any, remains unclear.  The band is touring with Chris Slade back on the skins.

Do NOT mess with the Nuns.  Police in Granada, Spain rounded up 212 suspected con artists after complaints from a convent.  Members of the organization used 20 front companies to call around in a phony bill collection scheme.  In the Nuns' case, the group demanded payment for advertising which the nuns had never ordered.  Threats followed, and the nuns took all of the information to police, who then moved in on the scam.
