Appraisals of the offshore Khaleej Al Bahrain basin by two US firms also suggest the presence of 280bn to 560bn cubic metres of natural gas. Oil Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa said it was not yet known how much oil could be extracted. But it could turn Bahrain into a major player in the global market. Officials expect extraction from the oil field to begin within five years, according to Bahrain's national news agency. 'Long-term production'Before the discovery, Bahrain had proven crude reserves of just 125m barrels and 92bn cubic metres of natural gas. By comparison, neighbouring Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, has 266bn barrels of proven reserves. ..

Can golf get more women into the boardroom? Tiger Woods is back at The Masters for the first time since 2015. That's good for golf. "When Tiger plays, fans tune in, it's as simple as that," said Jon Stainer, managing director for Neilsen Sports. His return to Augusta National Golf Club Thursday comes after years spent struggling with injuries. This season, Woods appears resurgent. He's done well in his last three tournaments and comes to the Masters with momentum. The Masters has always been a sweet spot for Woods.

Image copyright Newscast The Irish company that owns Magners cider is buying part of the UK's biggest alcoholic drinks distributor. The wholesale division of Conviviality, which collapsed last week, is being bought by C&C in a pre-pack administration. Conviviality brands including Matthew Clark and Bibendum are included in the deal, which is backed by AB InBev. Conviviality said last week it planned to appoint administrators, putting 2,600 jobs at risk. The move followed the discovery of a £30m tax bill and a series of profit warnings. The Bargain Booze and Wine Rack retail chains, which are also owned by Conviviality, are not included in the deal and remain up for sale. The wholesale division employs about 2,000 people and it is not clear how many jobs will be saved. Stephen Glancey, C&C chief executive, said: "The last few weeks have been challenging for employees, customers and suppliers alike. We hope today's announcement can put an end to this period of disruption and ..

Image copyright Getty Images Trade tensions between China and the US have been ramped up after Beijing responded to US plans for putting new taxes on hundreds of Chinese imports. China said it would place 25% trade tariffs on 106 US goods, including soybeans, aircraft and orange juice.

Why the AT&T-Time Warner trial matters A little less than two weeks and eight witnesses into the trial over AT&T's proposed $85 billion purchase of Time Warner, and we already have a good sense of some of the issues the case -- which some are calling the antitrust trial of a generation -- will likely pivot around. The government sued to stop AT&T's takeover of Time Warner, CNN's parent company, arguing that it violates antitrust law because it will raise prices for consumers and harm competition because AT&T would keep other cable and satellite companies from carrying the networks it would own if the deal goes through. AT&T has argued that prices would not necessarily go up, and that it would have no reason to keep its content from competitors. Attorneys for AT&T and Time Warner have argued that the acquisition is necessary for AT&T to compete with the likes of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google, as those companies increasingly enter the content markets.
