31-centimeter resolution images allow viewers to discern the windshield of a car and the direction the car is facing, offers short-wave infrared resolution that sees through dust, smog and smoke as well as things on Earth invisible to the naked eye. DigitalGlobe told The Denver Post last month that its new sensors allow them to see minerals, identify tree and plant species and gather soil composition. When analyzed, this information can decipher what’s beneath the surface — insight that can then be sold to industries including mining or oil and gas exploration. With a constellation of 149 microsatellites, Planet can cover a lot more territory than any single high-end satellite, so almost anywhere in the world you look, Planet can find a recent picture of it. With new imagery coming in every day, you can automate a search for changes at various locations. That means you can detect when a military begins to operate in a given area, and perhaps even deduce what kind of equipment they’re using at exponentially less cost than it would take to have run the same operation a decade ago.

Two banks that have been prominent zombies in the Italian banking crisis: Veneto Banca and Banca Popolare di Vicenza, in northeastern Italy. The banks have combined assets of €60 billion, a good part of which are toxic and no one wanted to touch them. They already received a bailout but more would have been required, ECB had given the banks time to present capital plans, but the banks had been unable to offer credible solutions. Consequently, the ECB deemed that both banks were failing or likely to fail and informed the Single Resolution Board (SRB), which concluded that the conditions for a resolution action in relation to the two banks had not been met. The banks will be wound up under Italian insolvency procedures.

Countries unwilling to take back citizens that arrived in Europe via irregular channels will face EU visa restrictions. The migration crisis remains one of the prime irritants in the bloc, with some members highly critical of how Brussels has handled it. The decision to apply pressure through visa restrictions was taken during the two-day summit of EU leaders that ended in Brussels on Friday, Reuters reported. The agency named Bangladesh and Nigeria as potential targets for such measures. The EU considers many of the people seeking asylum in member countries to be economic migrants and seeks to send them home. Under European rules, this would be tricky with refugees that fled countries like Syria, where peoples’ lives could be in danger.
