Updated on 18 February 2010
Britain has made all the preparations necessary to ensure Falkland Islanders are protected, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said amid Argentinian efforts to control shipping in the region.
The Argentinian government has issued a decree that tightens control over shipping in the area ahead of British efforts to start oil and gas exploration off the islands' waters.
According to The Sun newspaper, a new British naval task force comprising two ships and an oil supply tanker has been sent to the South Atlantic isles.
