                  California earthquake leaves scar on the desert

                  The strongest earthquake to hit California in two decades left a scar across the desert which can be seen from space, new pictures show.

                  The 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck on Friday at a depth of just 0.9km (0.6 miles), creating a fissure near its epicentre about 240km north-east of Los Angeles.

                        France has approved a digital services tax despite threats of retaliation by the US, which argues that it unfairly targets American tech giants.
                        The 3% tax will be levied on sales generated in France by multinational firms like Google and Facebook.

                            Chinese air pollution dimmed sunlight enough to impact solar panels

                            Pollution from coal and biomass burning blocks 13% of solar electricity.
                            Coal is seen by many as an enemy of renewable energy and the first fossil fuel in line for elimination as things like solar and wind generation have gotten cheaper.
