BAE Systems will admit two criminal charges and pay fines of £286m to settle US and UK probes into the firm.

It will hand over more than £250m to the US, which accused BAE of "wilfully misleading" it over payments made as the firm tried to win contracts.

BAE will pay about £30m in the UK - a record criminal corporate fine - for separate wrongdoings.
