Prime Minister David Cameron has visited UK troops at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan.

Asked about troop morale in the light of planned 20% cuts to Army numbers by 2020, Mr Cameron said getting a grip of the defence budget involved "difficult decisions".

"It really matters that we have a defence budget that makes sense, so that we can give our troops the support that they need," he said.
