BP must pay more than 130 million dollars (£84 million) in fees to the administrator of its multibillion-pound settlement with US Gulf Coast businesses and residents after the company's 2010 oil spill.

The ruling from US District Judge Carl Barbier comes as BP tries temporarily to block claims payments while former FBI Director Louis Freeh investigates allegations of misconduct by a lawyer who worked on the settlement programme.
