Amazon drone forest: The secret site where internet retail giant is testing flying

Amazon's multi-million-pound drone testing is secretly taking place behind a wall of haybales in the middle of the Cambridgeshire (pictured) countryside. The Internet retail giant has built a high wall of hay bales to hide its secret drone testing area in a field around five miles east of its research and development centre. A blue control tower with aerials has also been spotted in the remote field, which is constantly patrolled by security men and vans. The firm aims to deliver packages to people's home using the flying robots (inset) and believe it is a more eco-friendly way of transport.

Billionaires at war: 'Disappointed' Mark Zuckerberg hits out at SpaceX after Facebook's

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed his 'deep disappointment' at the destruction of his revolutionary $200million satellite on Thursday when the SpaceX Falcon 9 owned by Elon Musk's company suffered a catastrophic explosion on the Cape Canaveral launch pad during a routine pre-launch check. Zuckerberg is currently visiting several countries in Africa and likely would have marked the occasion of Facebook's Amos 6 satellite being launched into orbit on Saturday, had it not been destroyed around 9am in the massive blast. The satellite was to provide at least 14 countries on the continent and Middle East with free broadband. Zuckerberg's statement about the loss of the satellite appears to be a jab at fellow billionaire Musk, who lost about $390million as the stock prices of two of his companies, Telsa and SolarCity, dropped after the accident at Cape Canaveral.

Shocking images show how global warming is causing Europe's glaciers to retreat

Europe's glaciers have lost about two thirds of their volume since 1850, but last year the Hornkees glacier in the Austrian Alps retreated by 446 feet while Pasterze glacier, the largest in Austria, retreated by 177 feet (pictured right) since 2015. The images on the left show how this might glacier looked in the 1920s (top left) and how it looked from the same position in 2012 (bottom left). Scientists say the loss of Europe's glaciers is being driven by warmer summers and low levels of snowfall.

Is Earth being contacted by ALIENS? Mystery radio signals come from a sun-like star
