Russia will remain number two after the United States in the world hierarchy of arms exporters.

That’s the opinion of experts of the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, one of the organizers of the IDEX-2013 Defense Exhibition and Conference under way in Abu Dhabi.

The Russian defense industry holds good market positions in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asian markets, the think-tank said in an analytical report that reached ITAR-TASS.

According to the report, this year Russia's arms exports may exceed the 2012 levels by at least $15 billion in new contracts.

England Debates Same-Sex Marriage Bill

David Cameron's woes are continuing this week with plans to legalize same-sex marriage to be debated in Parliament today and tomorrow. The issue is hugely divisive, not least within the Tory Party which seems to have been in open rebellion in the last couple of weeks over everything from the E.U. to the next election. And on Sunday 34 current and former local party chairmen delivered a letter to Downing Street opposing the policy as "flawed, un-Conservative and costing us dearly in votes and membership". Gay marriage is causing a heated row across the political and public spheres.

Your opinion

Is there freedom of the press in your country?

Yes
No
There is no such thing as “free press” anymore, all media is controlled by the governments or other powers
The media should be subject to strict censorship as violence, abuse and sexual misconduct spread through different channels and corrupt people’s minds
