Global arms sales increased for the first time in five years in 2016 as rising geopolitical tensions fueled defense spending. Sales by the world's 100 biggest arms producers increased 1.9% from the previous year to reach $374.8 billion, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). "The growth in arms sales was expected and was driven by the implementation of new national major weapon programs, ongoing military operations in several countries and persistent regional tensions that are leading to an increased demand for weapons," the group said in its report. Arms producers in South Korea, which increasingly supply the country's military, saw the largest percentage increase among developed countries. The spending splurge reflects fears of a potential conflict with North Korea. Sales by South Korean firms increased by over 20% in 2016, to $8.4 billion.

The UK's Brexit negotiator David Davis The UK's Brexit negotiator David Davis has described the deal struck by Theresa May to move to the next phase of talks as a "statement of intent". He said it was not "legally enforceable" and if the UK failed to get a trade deal with the EU then it would not pay its divorce bill. But he stressed that the UK was committed to keeping a "frictionless and invisible" Irish border. And it would "find a way" to do this if there was a "no deal" Brexit.

since 1994-Japan's economy in longest growth streak Japan has sealed its longest stretch of economic growth in more than two decades, helped by a rise in business investment. The economy expanded at an annual rate of 2.5% in the three months to September, revised data showed. The growth rate was faster than expected, and higher than the initial estimate of 1.4%. The solid growth figures come after more than four years of economic stimulus by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Growth was driven by rising exports thanks to robust global demand, and also by increased spending by Japanese firms on equipment and facilities. That helped to offset a drop in consumer spending at home. The world's third-largest economy has now grown for seven straight quarters. Marcel Thieliant, senior Japan economist at Capital Economics, said this put Japan in its longest stretch of uninterrupted growth since at least 1994, when comparable data was made available. Mr Abe's economic policies - dubbed &qu

But it is rapidly evolving into the mainstream and has already made some people rich. If once Bitcoin was seen as a tool for money launderers and drug dealers, it has recently become as commonplace a topic at middle-class dinner parties as house prices. There are advertisements on the London Underground proposing ways to invest. It's been on the newspaper front pages. There are anecdotes of taxi drivers who say they've borrowed money to buy Bitcoin. And every day, another expert cautions investors that these are just the kinds of things to watch out for if you want to avoid investing in a bubble that's about to burst. So who is still holding onto their Bitcoins, as the price continues to fluctuate? 'It's been really exciting... being part of a crazy wave' Alessandra Sollberger, 29, first invested in Bitcoin in 2012 when each was worth about $9. She had been reading about it on tech blogs. She says she was intrigued by the concept of this new &q

Shazam , which says it has more than 100 million monthly users, makes most of its revenue from commissions paid on referrals to Apple's iTunes Store. Neither Apple nor Shazam have commented on the reports on the TechCrunch site. If the deal is confirmed, Shazam will become the latest in a string of UK technology firms to be bought up by larger businesses.  Shazam - a billion dollar London success The influential Music Business Worldwide site points out that the reported price is significantly lower than the $1bn valuation placed on Shazam during its last funding round in 2015.
