The importance of this Gulf waterway and how disruption to shipping there affects us all. Rocky Weitz is director of the Fletcher Maritime Studies Programme at Tufts University in the United States, and tells us why the Strait is so significant for international shipping and trade. Energy analyst Cornelia Meyer explains the likely impact of rising tensions on the price of energy. And John Thompson, Managing Director of maritime security firm Ambrey, discusses how the global shipping industry will be affected. Also in the programme, Kenya's finance minister Henry Rotich has surrendered to police after the country's chief prosecutor issued an arrest warrant over allegations of corruption. The 蜜芽传媒's Maya Hayakawa explains the background.
