Tom King, the head of Barclays Plc's investment bank, is leaving the bank in two weeks, according to people familiar with the situation. Barclays is expected to tell staff about his departure on Friday.

Russian mobile phone operator VimpelCom Ltd, said on Thursday it would pay $795 million to resolve U.S. and Dutch probes into a bribery scheme in Uzbekistan, in the second largest global anti-corruption settlement in history.

Prime Minister David Cameron appealed to EU leaders on Thursday to help him settle the question of Britain's European Union membership for a generation, as France and Belgium insisted that any deal agreed was the final word and would never get any better.
