## Resource

The ceasefire between Iran and the US is looking increasingly fragile after another day of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. As tensions rise, so are concerns about the welfare of the 20,000 seafarers believed to be stranded around the passage. In Brussels, European finance ministers have been meeting to discuss the economic impact of the war. And why is the Met Gala, fashion's biggest night under a controversial spotlight? Presenter: Bisi Adebayo Producers: Niamh Mc Dermott and Barbara George
