Brexit: Liz Truss sets 48-hour deadline for France to back down in fishing row

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has set a 48-hour deadline for a fishing dispute with France to be resolved before the UK moves ahead with legal action.

Speaking to Sky News at the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow, Ms Truss hit out at the French for behaving "unfairly" and accused them of operating outside the terms of the Brexit trade deal.

Last week, French authorities detained a British scallop trawler in the port of Le Havre as fresh tensions over post-Brexit fishing rights broke out.
