Argentina vowed to press criminal and civil charges on British oil companies exploring off the Falkland Islands if they do not "justify their actions" by a May 2 deadline. In its latest escalation of rhetoric over the disputed islands, Argentina said it had written to Falkland Oil & Gas (FOGL), Borders & Southern, Rockhopper, Desire Petroleum and Argos Resources on April 17, to "notify them of their illicit actions and their consequences. In case of failure to offer a response and once the deadline expires, administrative sanctions will be imposed to each company within the framework of an Energy Secretariat resolution which deems these activities illegal. The Argentine government will also press criminal and civil charges," it said, according to The Telegraph.

When publicity seekers like Lady Gaga say they want to be in a Bollywood film, you know that the Indian movie industry is now of global importance. There is plenty of opportunity for Bollywood film producer and distributor Eros International. The shares were first tipped in The Sunday Telegraph at the start of October - and the shares soared to 270p a couple of weeks later as the company hosted an analyst visit to India. They have eased back since then but are still 10% ahead of the tip price. The shares are trading on a March 2012 multiple of 6.7 times, falling to 6.1 in 2013.

The timing is auspicious for Senior's purchase of Airbus-parts supplier Weston, as the market for large commercial aircraft is just starting to take off, notes Tempus in The Times. The deal, at £54m, or the equivalent of one year's sales or eight times' annual earnings, might look an expensive one, but otherwise it ticks all the right boxes, and reduces Senior's dependence on Boeing as a major customer. Senior shares have had a good run over the past couple of years and had added another 2¾p to 165p by last night. They sell on about 11 times' earnings, which does not look overly cheap, but they remain among the better-placed in their sector.
