France accuses Australia, US of ‘lying’ over submarine deal

France has accused Australia of a breach of trust after it scrapped a submarine contract and made a deal with the United States instead.

Under the agreement, Australia will be able to acquire nuclear-powered submarines built with US and British technology.

But it comes at the expense of France, which has lost a multibillion-dollar agreement to sell its submarines.

Al Jazeera's Rory Challands reports from London, UK.
