French say they will cut electricity to island of Jersey
There is a big row over fishing after Brexit. Jersey, which is part of the UK – called a Crown dependency – is very close to France. They made rules that French fishermen had to have proof that they were fishing near Jersey for 6 years. Only the big ships with computer systems have this proof. Small fishing boats do not. Jersey tried to ban them. French said this is unfair. The French say they will stop electricity going from France to the island. That is a big problem for Jersey.
You can drink beer made by the Queen
Well, not exactly made by the Queen. They make it with organic barley which grows on the estate at Sandringham. You can buy Sandringham Best Bitter in bottles when you visit the Queen at the estate.
