Oil prices rise

As Brent crude prices reach over $100 a barrel, we explain the global impact.

Oil prices have reached above $100 a barrel for Brent crude, as markets start to settle following Monday's hopes of de-escalation in the Middle East. We hear from our correspondents around the world and speak to farmers about how the US-Israel war with Iran is impacting their lives.

And the first boat of a flotilla carrying medical supplies and food to Cuba has reached Havana. The communist run island is experiencing an acute energy crisis as a fuel blockade imposed by the United States continues. Our correspondent Will Grant speaks to us about his reporting from Cuba.
