Two oil tankers have been hit by explosions in the Gulf of Oman.
Two oil tankers have been hit by explosions in the Gulf of Oman. Issam Ikirmawi from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Arabic service tells us what we know about the incidents, and how they have affected the oil price. Also in the programme, as London prepares to mark the second anniversary of a deadly fire at Grenfell Tower, we hear from lawyer Jeffrey Goodman of Saltz, Mongeluzzi, Barrett & Bendesky, who's suing three American companies over the blaze. We take a look at the controversial issue of food labelling. Plus our regular environmental commentator George Monbiot tells us whether he thinks the UK's target to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050 is attainable.
