-- Some of BP's largest shareholders have urged the company to target BAE Systems' Chief Executive Charles Woodburn as its next CEO, Sky News reports, citing unnamed sources.

-- It remains unclear if Woodburn had been formally approached by BP and his receptiveness to an approach.
-- Neither BP nor BAE were immediately available for comment.
