British Petroleum (BP) halts shipment of oil and gas through Red Sea as attacks on commercial vessels intensify

Oil company, British Petroleum (BP) says it is temporarily halting the shipment of oil and gas through the Red Sea, between Africa and Asia, after a series of attacks by Houthi militants against commercial vessels transiting the route. Five shipping companies have already made a similar decision, but BP is the first oil company to make the call to avoid the international shipping choke point.  That means instead, vessels will most likely travel via the two-week longer and more expensive route, around the Cape of Good Hope.  Stuart Smith has more from London.
