France begins air strikes against ISIS

France has begun air strikes against Islamic State militants known as ISIS in Iraq.

The office of President Francois Hollande says planes have carried out an attack on an IS depot in the north-east.

France is the first to follow the US's lead to destroy IS bases in an effort to contain the spread of militants declaring a caliphate in the region, who've killed thousands of civilians including Western hostages.

Friday's air strike comes a day after President Hollande said he agreed with the Iraqi authorities to give air support, but only to target IS in Iraq, not in Syria.

Silicon Valley eyes Chinese e-retailer Alibaba's IPO

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is set to float on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday in what is expected to be the biggest IPO of all time.

Alibaba looks likely to raise more than $20 billion, having increased its target price range to between $66 and $68 a share.

The company remains relatively unknown in the United States, despite processing more sales per year than Amazon and eBay put together.

It owns China's largest shopping website, Taobao, runs the online payment system Alipay, and has made strategic investments in a number of Californian companies including ride-sharing firm Lyft.

Silicon Valley analyst Tim Bajarin (PRON: Ba-hare-in) says the future is bright for the world's largest internet and e-commerce firm.
