Docker container can not ping the outside world - iptables

exploring Docker 17.06.

I've installed docker on Centos 7 and created a container. Started the container with the default bridge. I can ping both host adapters, but not the outside world e.g. www.google.com

All advise out there is based on older versions of Docker and it's iptables settings.

I would like to understand how to ping to the outside world, what is required please?

TIA!
