Oil prices fell sharply after Iranian state television broadcast details of a peace proposal, mass drone production has turned the war effort around for Ukraine, and the European Central Bank warned US President Donald Trump risks triggering a financial crisis. Plus, AI opens the door for smaller, well-funded challengers to take market share from Big Four consultancies.&nbsp; Mentioned in this podcast:<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/c79efc18-7c4f-4ff6-8f12-687892b5bd6f?accessToken=zwAAAZ8FaAtBkdPHnvwYfE9P9tOPEmh4krW9bwE.MEUCIQCEHFqn6A4ZHnNvgYZWIg_E602UEu2XT5Rn8dR7cPJJsgIgJNOElOJEQ9_K2kDFR_byWIhCxhfaZI9WrFujNFBGphw&amp;segmentId=7d4bcc2e-e664-92ba-62e3-5590579f1902" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Oil falls as Iranian state television reports details of peace proposal</a><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1c27e7db-8ee0-434b-ac92-cecf70df52f9?accessToken=zwAAAZ8E6xAakc8cJ-fbjuBDS9Osks7PcN9S-QE.MEQCIHlFnfPBgRdyiEWBCElty-ZkiKqFd6Gd8tqn1ceJvP34AiAFbwBoFXR3XLeGGJ7TG0S0WiqHoxeBrlxVc1F6yR_Ltw&amp;segmentId=7d4bcc2e-e664-92ba-62e3-5590579f1902" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Russian banks to arm themselves against Ukrainian drones</a><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/7beeff28-27b4-417a-b1ef-43298f736f00?accessToken=zwAAAZ8E6BLFktPYLSpcdKtOudOmWP1UZ-cWcM977v8oJ7RBetOx70Mpj3NvAAE.MEYCIQCcp0k7uA8XoPCOKx145Ct12JdG12nEScdwsH0HOgAAmgIhANUfa7dnR95bEnRWT0pZLA8yIK8S0ZN1A-GkQ4Qmt88y&amp;segmentId=7d4bcc2e-e664-92ba-62e3-5590579f1902" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ukraine is turning the tables</a><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/88ec90e1-2927-4cb0-afbf-2df1ca6d53fa?accessToken=zwAAAZ8E6mXFkdOI7JDhKSdMsNOvvy3xym1T-gE.MEQCIElUyPSRGzUPOzUn1Wtj2okfGl96v5X2LYtiVbp8FhQfAiBdhh3E1BOQZ0Xb1KHLnQ8CADO7oWZhw7uoj26WrhJTUg&amp;segmentId=7d4bcc2e-e664-92ba-62e3-5590579f1902" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trump risks triggering financial crisis with Iran war, warns ECB</a><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d82d2a5c-74ab-4eb9-a658-fd5467e71670?accessToken=zwAAAZ8E6BLFktPYLSpcdKtOudOmWP1UZ-cWcM977v8oJ7RBetOx70Mpj3NvAAE.MEYCIQCcp0k7uA8XoPCOKx145Ct12JdG12nEScdwsH0HOgAAmgIhANUfa7dnR95bEnRWT0pZLA8yIK8S0ZN1A-GkQ4Qmt88y&amp;segmentId=7d4bcc2e-e664-92ba-62e3-5590579f1902" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How AI threatens the giants of consulting</a> Want to get in touch?

How Ukraine’s drones turned the tables

<description>&lt;p&gt;Iran accused the US of “flagrant” violations of their ceasefire, BP has ousted its chair Albert Manifold following “serious concerns” over his behaviour, and two top European central bankers laid the groundwork for a likely interest rate rise in June.
