3. Nokia is buying French wearables company Withings for $191 million (£131 million). The company makes fitness trackers, smart bathroom scales, and a range of other devices.

4. Ant Financial, a Chinese fintech company that is partly owned by the chairman of e-commerce giant Alibaba, has raised a $4.5 billion (£3.1 billion) funding round. It's the biggest individual tech funding round ever.
