BP appeals for Gulf payments halt

World Business Report

Available for over a year

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'.
