April 30, 2010 — Barack Obama, the US president, has mobilized the military to help deal with the spreading oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico.
Endangered birds and animals in four US states are threatened by slick that Obama, said oil giant BP is ultimately responsible for.
Experts fear the pollution could be worse than the Exxon Valdeez spill more than 20 years ago.
The first traces of oil from the slick have now reached the mouth of the Mississippi river, but out to sea, the situation is much worse.
Planes spraying dispersant chemicals on the oil slick are making little progress - while BP's crews fail to cap the ruptured well-pipe on the sea bottom and called for help from US Navy submarines.
Al Jazeera's Sebastian Walker reports from Louisiana, where shrimp fishermen fear the worst.

US oil spill crisis continues
April 29, 2010 — The state of Louisiana's governor has declared a state of emergency due to the Deep water Horizon oil rig that exploded on April 20 and left 11 workers missing and presumed dead.
An unfolding environmental crisis resulted as the spill made its way within 20km of the US coastline by Thursday.
The spill was expected to hit land by Friday.
The US government says that it is doing everything it can to minimise environmental damage following the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but says that British oil giant BP will have to shoulder the blame for the disaster.
Al Jazeera's Tom Ackerman reports from the US state of Mississippi, where the oil threatens a number of environmental and commercial interests.

Argentina renews claim over oil rich Falklands
April 03, 2010 — It has been 28 years since Britain and Argentina went to war over the disputed Falkland islands - known as the Malvinas by Argentines - in the South Atlantic.
Britain emerged victorious from the conflict and the islands have since grown prosperous from tourism and fishing among other things.
Now with oil companies exploring the waters surrounding the islands, tensions between the two countries are rising again.
As Argentina pays tribute to the soldiers who fell in the conflict, many people, including the president, are raising their voices against the continued British rule over the islands.
Lucia Newman reports from Buenos Aires.

Bush Admin Official: Offshore Drilling Plan By Obama An Attempt to Gain Votes for Massive Climate Bill
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
Fox News
President Obama, reversing a long-standing ban on most offshore drilling, unveiled a plan Wednesday to allow oil drilling off the Eastern seaboard and potentially the western coast of Florida.
While the plan is sure to rile environmentalists, the announcement comes just a day before the administration will please them -- and anger conservatives -- by cementing sweeping emissions and fuel economy standards that will impact U.S. auto manufacturers.
“The president is throwing a bone to Republicans in hopes that this will be his foot in the door to a massive climate change bill, and that’s not going to happen.”
