Stocks in Australia, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Mumbai took a tumble after China devalued the Yuan against the US Dollar for a second consecutive day.  Today's devaluation of 1.62 percent follows yesterday's unexpected 2 percent hack.  Beijing wants to boost its export and manufacturing sectors, but it's raising concerns about a slowdown in the world's second largest economy.

Labor leader Bill Shorten says LGBT people may never be able to get married in Australia, as long as Tony Abbott is Prime Minister.  "The choice in this country is you either have Mr. Abbott or you have marriage equality but you can't have both," Shorten told reporters.  PM Abbott is under increasing criticism because of his refusal to allow marriage equality to come to a free vote until after the next election in 2016.  Liberal cabinet minister Malcom Turnbull has publicly lobbied in favour of same-sex marriage and criticised Abbott's move to prevent a free vote.

A Texas police department sacked an office who shot and killed an unarmed black college student.  Earlier, officials released video showing 19-year old Christian Taylor vandalizing some cars at an auto dealership and driving one through a window.  But the partner of 49-year old rookie officer Brad Miller was preparing to deal with Taylor using a taser weapon; and officials say Miller was not in any physical contact with Taylor, meaning that Taylor didn't pose an imminent threat.  Miller fired four shots into Taylor.

A grass fire outside Portland, Oregon in America's Pacific Northwest spread to an 85-year old wooden trestle bridge, the kind of thing you'd see in an old Western movie.  Firefighters were unable to save the little-used span, which collapsed in places.  People are being cautioned to stay away from it, because of falling debris and some empty tanker cars used to to transport dangerous chemicals.

Mexico is banning hospitals from giving away free baby formula to new parents, in a bid to raise breastfeeding rates.  Only one in seven mothers breastfeed exclusively during the baby's first six months, as recommended by the UN World Health Organization.  That's the lowest rate in Latin America.  It's also a good idea to prevent the spread of disease, because powdered baby formula needs to be mixed with water - and that's a problem where water supplies are often dirty or otherwise contaminated.

The Wakayama Electric Railway south of Osaka, Japan has picked a new stationmaster to succeed Tama, the first cat to hold such a position.  And, yes, it's another cat.  Officials promoted Nitama as the new stationmaster of Kishi Station.  The original Tama was actually the pet of a station employee.  Railway executives noticed that passengers loved to visit the cat while passing through the station, and recognized a marketing opportunity.  After people came from all around to see Stationmaster Tama, the railway rebuilt the station to resemble a cat, opened a cafe, and sold souveniers.
