BP appeals for Gulf payments halt

BBC World Service - World Business Report, BP appeals for Gulf payments halt

The oil giant asks a court to suspend payouts linked to the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

BP says it's being forced to pay too much in compensation for the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Now the company's appealed to a New Orleans court to suspend the payouts. We ask if BP will get its way and hear what people on the Gulf coast make of its efforts to cut the bill for compensation. Plus we hear about the mobile phone powered by urine - and the British businesses hoping to profit from the imminent arrival of the 'Royal Baby'.
