Spanish fishermen are holding a floating protest after Gibraltar placed 70 concrete blocks in the disputed waters near the British territory.

Gibraltar says it's created an artificial reef to protect local stock - but Spain believes it's designed to disrupt their fishing fleet.

It's led to further tensions over the territory - with Madrid imposing tougher border checks.
