Hello, and welcome to World Business Report on the BBC World Service.
I'm Will Bain.
Great to have your company as we kick off another business week here on the programme.
Today,
two of the world's biggest energy companies are battling it out in court over a potential $1 trillion oil windfall in the Caribbean.
We'll have more on Exxon, Chevron, and the fight for Guyana's oil riches very shortly.
Also on the programme today, a race for the supply of critical minerals.
Two days after Donald Trump did his big liberation day,
China put an export restriction on certain rare earths,
and that is a really potent export restriction.
Yeah, a warning there about the potential supply of them,
so critical
for everything from the transition to electric vehicles to greener energy as well,
things like wind turbines too.
So we'll be taking a look at that latest report and we'll have more on how Disney's bumper cricket tire with Indian Premier League cricket has led to a surge in paid subscribers there beating out the likes of Netflix and other rivals as well.
Another twist in the streaming wars story if you like.
All that to come on World Business Report today,
but we're going to kick off in the courtrooms of London in a fierce fight between two of the world's biggest energy firms desperate to get their hands on a gigantic new oil project that analysts believe could be worth a trillion dollars in reserves.
That field is off the coast of the Caribbean nation of Guyana.
