Business as usual for arms dealers - despite Syrian civil war

Description

Activists against the Syrian regime have been holding a demonstration in Paris. Blood-stained soft toys have gone on display to represent the children that are being killed in Syria's civil war. The protest has been timed to coincide with a weaponry trade show that's held in the French capital every two years. There, our reporter saw a French company sign a deal to supply Russian tanks with equipment - this as Russia stands accused of selling tanks and other weaponry to Bashar al-Assad's army.
