The list of UK-based companies that have already listed in the United States includes ARM, the UK's biggest chip company, as well as building supplies firm CRH and plumbing equipment company Ferguson.

    Some of the 10 women and teenage girls who recently came to a medical clinic in eastern Venezuela for free contraceptives fidgeted a bit when a community health worker taught them how to use an IUD, condoms and birth control pills correctly. The health worker also asked what they knew about HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world and the cause of nearly all cervical cancer.
