Hello and welcome. The British Foreign secretary has warned of serious consequences if the seizure of a british tanker in the strait of hormuz by iran is not resolved. The stena impero was bound for saudi arabia when the owners say they lost contact with the vessel. There are 23 personnel on board but no british citizens are among them. It comes after an iranian vessel was captured earlier this month. James robbins reports. This is stena impero, built only last year, british flagged, 183 metres long, now in the hands of iran, together with her 23 crew.

since he took over from bernard looney, who was forced out after a scandal over workplace relationships. bp s share price has languished while rivals such as exxonmobil have soared some investors are uneasy about its huge and costly investments in green technology. some analysts say it is a potential takeover target. earlier i spoke to cornelia meyer, ceo of meyer resources an energy consultancy. she was a former senior executive at bp. you are damned if you do and you re damned if you don t. some investors would preferfor bp to do more on the green agenda and others, you know, sort of more activist investors who are after the quick short term return, favour the fossil fuel the hydrocarbons strategy. and i think bp is trying to walk a middle way and they have to straddle that middle way. your next story is about the net zero targets of europe. and bp is in europe. it has big operations in europe. it s ftse listed, so it has to deal with european and uk regulators, which m
though he is not saying much. i can confirm that i received a subpoena and i complied, but under advice of counsel, i can t really say much more than that. that was my only appearance before the grand jury. and there are also reports that second aide greg jacobs was also subpoenaed and test filed. jennifer rogers, how significant is this that two of 9 former top aides have now appeared before a grand jury? well, christine, it is significant for a couple reasons. first of all, they are really important witnesses. one was one of the live witnesses that the january 6 committee brought us and they were very close to the former vice president not testified and they know everything basically that he knows. and we know mike pence was the center of the scheme of former president trump to overturn the election, the linchpin really. so it is important for that reason. and it is also important because it means that the doj investigation is broader than we ve previously known. we k
