Fury as Royal Navy ship docks

Tensions have risen after a Royal Navy warship entered a South American port operating an embargo against ships linked to the Falkland Islands.

HMS Protector, the Navy’s ice patrol vessel currently on a scientific mission to the South Atlantic, called at Montevideo, Uruguay, en route to the Falklands.

Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Paraguay stopped ships sailing under the flag of the Falkland Islands entering their ports on 21 December last year.
