David Cameron is meeting other EU leaders and industry bodies at CBI-hosted talks in Brussels.

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, now generally known as TTIP, is primarily a deal to cut tariffs and regulatory barriers to trade between the US and EU countries, making it easier for companies on both sides of the Atlantic to access each other's markets.

Industries it would affect include pharmaceuticals, cars, energy, finance, chemicals, clothing and food and drink.

The British government claims TTIP could add £10bn to the UK economy, £80bn to the US and £100bn to the EU every year. It says shoppers would benefit by the removal of EU import tariffs on popular goods, such as jeans

The Mobile Experience (Cont’d)

Pharrell, Moby and Andrew WK have all shown their support to a man, nicknamed Dancing Man, who was bullied online.

Not much is known about him but we know he's called Sean and that he is a Londoner.

Dancing Man became famous after photos of him at a gig started being shared online.

The caption read: "Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing."Dancing Man duly accepted the invitation using his hashtag #dancingmanfound.

Moby has now offered to DJ at the party for free as "no-one should be ashamed of dancing".

Emma Watson says she was "so angry" when a hoax website claimed it was going to publish naked pictures of her.

Speaking at an event for International Women's day, the Harry Potter star says the threats made her even more keen to speak up on gender equality.

"I knew it was a hoax," she said.

"I knew the pictures didn't exist, but I think a lot of people that were close to me knew gender equality was an issue but didn't think it was that urgent, that it was a thing of the past."

Part of her work as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador involves fronting the He For She campaign, which calls for men to support gender equality."He For She is about men coming to support women for femininity and for feminine qualities, because

they are currently valued less in our society.

The singer has recorded 'Towards the Sun' for upcoming animated film Home, in which she voices the character Gratuity "Tip" Tucci.

The song was played by Scott Mills twice during his afternoon show on BBC Radio 1 earlier today (February 24), surprising fans as there was no previous warning or announcement.

The track is now available to purchase via iTunes.

Rihanna has recorded a full concept album for Home, which is expected to be released later this month.

The album is a side project from her official eighth studio album, which includes new single 'FourFiveSeconds' and is scheduled to follow later this year.

Home will be released in cinemas on March 27 and also stars Jim Parsons, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Martin.

Kanye West dazzles with star line-up at impromptu gig

Radio 1's Clara Amfo was there and said: "It was ridiculous, there were hordes of people outside, it was crazy."

Fans were let inside the venue at around 12.45am and before Kanye eventually started more than half an hour later.

1Xtra's Mistajam was also there, writing on Twitter: "Tonight will go down in history."

In addition to playing some classics like Jesus Walks and Clique, he also previewed his new track with Vic Mensa.

It's reported he had the idea at 2pm and after a whirl of speculation, and a few changes of venue, tickets went on sale for Koko in Camden at 7pm.

Crowds waited hours in the cold before Kanye eventually took to the stage about 1.20am. He was joined by Skepta, JME, Novelist, Vic Mensa, Meridian Dan, Raekwon and Cyhi.

Kanye West was joined on stage by an all-star line-up at a secret gig in London.1,057
