Jan 10 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 1400 GMT on Wednesday:

** Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's HWT.UL planned deal with U.S. carrier AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) T.N to sell its smartphones in the United States has collapsed at the 11th hour because of security concerns, people with knowledge of the matter said, in a blow to the Chinese firm's global ambitions. Rupert Murdoch-controlled Twenty-First Century Fox Inc FOXA.O is looking to finalize a deal to buy about 10 television stations from Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc SBGI.O , the Financial Times reported. Germany's Continental CONG.DE is in talks with banks about a possible structural overhaul of the auto parts and tyre maker and aims to flesh out its plans within six months, its finance chief said. Tele2 TEL2b.ST has agreed a $3.2 billion takeover of cable TV company Com Hem COMH.ST in a Swedish installment of a global wave of mergers reshaping the telecoms and media sector. Spain's Repsol REP.MC , currently trying to reduce its debt, said buyout group CVC and others were interested in its 20 percent stake in local utility Gas Natural GAS.MC , which has a market value around 4.1 billion euros ($4.9 billion). A decision on whether to approve Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank's MZTF.TA $400 million purchase of Union Bank of Israel UNON.TA should take four months, the Israeli competition regulator said. Flag carrier El Al Israel Airlines ELAL.TA said it received notice that the Anti-Trust Authority opposes its deal to buy smaller low-cost rival Israir from IDB Tourism. India cleared a proposal to allow foreign investors to own up to a 49 percent stake in state-run carrier Air India AIN.UL , paving the way for global airlines to bid for the loss-making flagship carrier. Liberty House, the industrial arm of British steel tycoon Sanjeev Gupta's GFG Alliance, said it had made a binding offer for miner Rio Tinto's RIO.AX , RIO.L aluminium smelter in Dunkerque, France, the largest in Europe. Privately-owned grain trading group Amaggi, owned by the family of Brazilian Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi, said it is in talks to buy 100 percent of Companhia Agrícola do Parecis. Rosneft ROSN.MM has decided against bidding for gas assets being sold by diamond miner Alrosa ALRS.MM , at least for now, the Russian energy company said, saying the auction terms were unacceptable.
