Britain and France have agreed to accelerate plans to create a joint control and command centre for future military operations.

Prime Minister David Cameron and French president Nicolas Sarkozy want to put in place the rapidly deployable headquarters following joint working in Libya. At a UK-France summit in Paris, the two leaders also agreed to push ahead with the next phase of plans to build a new generation of pilotless "fighter drone" aircraft.
