Britain's new aircraft carriers £1bn over budget
The BBC reported that Britain's new aircraft carriers - HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales - are facing a £1bn cost over-run.

The cost of building the two new aircraft carriers is now expected to rise to about £5bn.

The partners of the consortium building the ships quickly played down reports that the cost over-run will threaten the project.
