Weapons manufacturer B-A-E Systems says it has a record backlog as countries try to build up their military capacity.

Last year, it had £37.7 billion in new orders, meaning it now has to deliver nearly £70-billion worth of vehicles, missiles and submarines.

The business has eight UK locations, including New Malden.

It says its weapons systems have been used during the conflict in Ukraine.
