Italian Mafia: 'Ndrangheta members convicted as Italy begins huge trial

An Italian court has sentenced 70 members of the powerful mafia group, the 'Ndrangheta, in the first stage of the biggest mafia trial in decades.

Over the next two years, 355 alleged mobsters and corrupt officials will face court for their involvement with Italy's richest and most powerful organised crime group.

Satellite images appear to show mock-up US warships in China desert

China appears to have built full-scale mock-ups of US warships in a desert in the country's north-western Xinjiang region, satellite images show.

The US has warned that in recent months China has been rapidly expanding its military, including its nuclear capabilities, as tension builds in the South China Sea.

Earlier this year, China was suspected of carrying out a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile test - missiles that can fly in the upper atmosphere at more than five times the speed of sound - which prompted concern in Washington.

Beijing later denied the reports and said it had been a routine spacecraft check.
