The UK has condemned "unjustified" threats from France and summoned the country's ambassador in an escalating row over post-Brexit fishing rights.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is calling for talks later, asking Catherine Colonna to explain "disappointing and disproportionate threats".

A British trawler was seized by France and another fined during checks off Le Havre on Thursday.

French authorities said the detained vessel did not have a licence.
