The UK&rsquo;s competition regulator on Thursday launched an antitrust investigation into Apple. The Competition and Markets Authority said it would investigate Apple over complaints from software developers about the tech giant&rsquo;s App Store. Apple only lets developers release iPhone and iPad apps through its iOS smartphone platform. The tech giant has a rigorous approval process for iOS apps and has often faced criticism about an up to 30% fee it charges on in-app transactions. UK authorities have said, complaints that Apple is using its market position to set terms which are unfair or may restrict competition and choice &mdash; potentially causing customers to lose out when buying and using apps &mdash; warrant careful scrutiny. Britain&rsquo;s competition probe into Apple follows similar moves by the European Union last year.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan will seek a vote of confidence in parliament after the government's finance minister lost his bid for a Senate seat in an election on Wednesday.
