Snapchat, American Apparel and the scoop of a lifetime

Snapchat is planning to open a European base in London in a move hailed as a huge “vote of confidence” in Brexit Britain. The American firm that owns the photo-sharing app Snap Inc has vowed to pay U.K. corporation tax on its international profits in a move that is highly unusual in the tax-averse tech world. In New York, the Canadian apparel-maker Gildan has paid $88 million U.S. at auction for the name and design rights of the bankrupt teen retailer American Apparel. Gildan is based in Montreal. And Clare Hollingworth has died at 105 some 78 after she hustled herself to the German border in 1939 and got the scoop of a lifetime. Hollingworth was able to report first to the world that the Nazis had invaded Poland. She was only 27 at the time and went on to have a long career with the Daily Telegraph.
