Argentina escalates Falklands row
Updated on 17 February 2010
Argentina's president has issued a decree seeking to control all shipping to and from the Falkland Islands, escalating her fight with Britain over drilling for oil and gas in the South Atlantic.
Cristina Fernandez's order does not stop at shipping for the oil industry -it applies to any boat going to or from the islands, which Argentina refers to as the Malvinas.
Ms Fernandez says Britain occupies the archipelago illegitimately and that it has failed to comply with United Nations resolutions requiring negotiations on its future.
