BAE Systems announces Saudi deal for 48 Typhoon jets

Saudi Arabia to stage first European Tour golf event in 2019

The civil war in Yemen, which has been called the world's worst humanitarian crisis, has killed thousands of people and displaced more than 3 million in three years of fighting.

The deal involves the sale of 48 British Typhoon fighter jets, Sky News claims. A preliminary deal has been signed, according to reports, for the Kingdom to buy from the UK, as part of a multi-billion-pound deal.

Shares in BAE were trading up 2.4 percent at 603 pence after the signing of the memorandum was announced.

"This is a positive step towards agreeing a contract for our valued partner".

"We are committed to supporting the Kingdom as it modernizes the Saudi Armed Forces and develops key industrial capabilities critical to the delivery of Vision 2030", he said, referring to Saudi Arabia's economic and social reform program.

However, civil and human rights campaigners are furious.

They remind us they are here, present, they matter, they are children, they want to be safe, they will take positive action. Risking whether teachers will effectively react in that scenario is too great when it comes to keeping students safe.

The Typhoon aircraft have been used by the Saudi-led coalition fighting rebels in Yemen. By rolling out the red carpet for the Crown Prince, Theresa May has shown how low she will sink to maintain it.

Mr Watkins criticised the welcome given to the crown prince, saying that in Yemen the Saudis were "orchestrating what will potentially become the worst starvation in the last 50 years".

The Gulf state is an important defence partner for the United Kingdom, but the sale of arms to the country is highly controversial, especially since its intervention in Yemen.

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Thursday in London. On Thursday, Prime Minister Theresa May and the crown prince reached an agreement created to generate $90 million in trade and investment between the two countries.

Saudi Crown Prince reviewed with the UK Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson the means of strategic cooperation and developing defense, military and anti-terrorism efforts, on Friday, at the North Holt Air Base.
