Renewable energy overtakes coal
After more than a century of dominance, coal has been overtaken by renewable energy as the world’s biggest source of electricity – a historic moment, according to new data from the global energy think tank Ember.
In the UK, police say they have dismantled an international gang suspected of smuggling up to 40,000 stolen mobile phones from the UK to China in the past year.
The political crisis continues in France amid efforts to get a government together following the resignation of the third prime minister in a year.
