Former CIA worker and whistleblower Edward Snowden has revealed that the United Kingdom spied on Argentina for years.

New leaks show that Britain spied on Argentina over the disputed Malvinas islands.

Argentina has marked the 33rd anniversary of the Malvinas war against the U-K with dozens of memorial events being held throughout the country. War veterans and families of the 649 fallen soldiers paid tribute to those who fought the British occupation in the South Atlantic.

Argentina has filed complaint to international agencies over Britain’s plans for the excessive military spending on Malvinas Islands, known as the Falklands to the British.

Tensions between Buenos Aires and London are running high after Britain decided to increase its military expenditure in Falklands, also known as the Malvinas Islands. The move has drawn condemnation not only by the Argentine government, but by all political parties in the country's parliament.

Argentina says Britain’s move to boost its military in the Malvinas Islands is a provocation.

The UK will spend £280mn on renewing Malvinas defenses amid rising tensions with Argentina.

Britain is to deploy 300 extra troops to the Malvinas Islands, a report says.
