Global energy crisis warning: Oil hits $110, markets fall as war impacts economy

The global economy is under pressure as energy prices surge amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The head of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, warns that restoring oil and gas flows could take up to six months, calling this potentially the most severe energy crisis in history.
