Police arrested a teenager who threatened a police station on social media, picking him up on the way to the Arthur Phillip High School in Parramatta, NSW.  They handcuffed the kid, emptied his belongings out for inspection, and took him away in a police van.  This was outside the same school attended by 15-year old Farhad Jabar Khalil Mohammad, who murdered police accountant Curtis Cheng last week before cops shot him down last week. 

US Secretary of State John Kerry says Turkey would have been within its rights to shoot down a Russian war plane that briefly strayed into Turkish airspace while conducted anti-rebel raids in support of the Syrian Government.  Turkey has summoned the Russian Ambassador for that, and called him in a second time for the MiG fighter that harassed Turkish jets near the border.  A statement from NATO warns of "the extreme danger of such irresponsible behavior" and urged Russia "to cease and desist". 

The Kremlin had earlier said it would not send ground troops to Syria to bolster the government of Kremlin ally Bashar Al-Assad, but a Russian lawmaker says several so-called "volunteers" will be going to Syria.  These are likely to be troops with battlefield experience in eastern Ukraine.  The US fears that Russia will prolong the four and a half year old Syrian civil war, and a coalition of 41 anti-Assad rebel groups issued a statement saying that Russia's involvement "has cut the road to any political solution".

The organizers of the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro are making cutbacks of up to 30 percent to avoid going over budget.  None of the sporting events will be impacted.  But the cuts will affect things like the opening ceremonies, the number of buildings, and English lessons for Olympic volunteers.  Ticket sales have been slow with only two million of the five million available sold so far.

BP will pay a US$20.8 Billion settlement for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico five years ago.  US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the agreement is "the largest settlement with a single entity in American history", and will settle state and federal claims.  The Deepwater Horizon accident killed eleven workers and led to millions of barrels of oil destroying the Gulf ecosystem and fouling beaches and marshes in three US states.

American Airlines confirms a pilot died in mid-flight on a Phoenix to Boston overnight flight.  The co-pilot took over the controls and diverted the plane to Syracuse, New York.  "We're certainly well qualified to handle situations like these," a spokeswoman said.  "That's why you've got more than one pilot in a cockpit," she added.  A new crew was summoned to take the passengers on to Boston, several hours late. 

California Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation into law that allows terminally ill patients to legally end their lives with a doctor's supervision, joining four other American states.  The former Roman Catholic seminarian took weeks to come to the decision, which runs counter to the pressure from religious groups.  "I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain," Governor Brown said, "I am certain, however, that it would be a comfort to be able to consider the option afforded by this bill."
