Rising prices boost Shell and BP


Oil firms Royal Dutch Shell and BP have seen first quarter profits boom thanks to the rising price of oil, which is close to $120 a barrel.

Shell made profits of $7.8bn (£3.9bn) in the first three months of the year, up from $6.9bn a year ago.

And rival BP saw its profits rise 48% to $6.6bn (£3.31bn), from $4.4bn.
