a dispute between france and britain over fishing rights since bricks it's both sent navy patrol vessels to the english channel island of jersey at issue new licensing rules of the islands imposed french fishermen say those regulations prevent them from operating in the area for onset it will not be intimidated dozens of french boats sail to the area to protest that they've now returned to normandy a french minister went as far as threatening to cut off the electricity supply to the islands under post that rules french boats need permits from the jersey government to fish in the island's waters that's also butler was among the protesters in jersey earlier in the day. just off to sunrise were joined by dozens of other boats you can see as me there are a few tools being said you could see some of those boats behind me on just that but not the way. now all around this area they're all fishing boats tilted around

french fishermen processing against what they say is unfair treatment by jersey old doherty's they say that the authorities in jersey are limiting back so as to be able to fish in these waters they say that they've been pushing it for decades generations been fishing it for centuries but now that has changed and they say it's north in peeping with the post breaks that trade agreement that was reached between the e.u. and the u.k. now jersey is a u.k. dependency it says that is just following the rules but what does happen to the last few hours is that a small group of fishermen are meeting with a group over representatives from jersey to discuss the situation it is extremely tense though because the u.k. school this a provocation and what they've done is send to the naval ships here naval warships here the french have done the same to vessels on their way ikea from the french coast so really the pressure is rising fareed zakaria's is the chief executive at

based. there for good conservation reasons and they're nondiscriminatory so these measures apply equally to jersey vessels other u.k. vessels but also french and other european vessels so i think what we need to do is is understand what the measures are. the conditions that have been brought. why they've been brought in and have those discussions and essentially deescalate the issue at least 10 people have been killed in flooding in algeria several provinces were hit by intense rain in the past couple of days many properties were badly damaged and cars were swept away and will sod up province rescue teams have been deployed. the international criminal court has sentenced
