Saudi Arabia: Cameron's Delicate Diplomacy

David Cameron is attempting to cement major UK arms sales and bolster relations with allies on the second day of his Middle East tour.

The Prime Minister is personally spearheading a push to persuade the United Arab Emirates to buy 60 of BAE's Typhoon jets over French rivals in a deal reported to be worth upwards of £3bn.

He has now travelled to Saudi Arabia - Britain's biggest trading partner in the region - which is also considering adding to its fleet of aircraft.
