BP announced that it had capped the well which has leaked millions of gallons of oil, blighting the southern United States since the Deepwater Horizon disaster earlier this year. A live video feed of the well shows no oil flowing.
Barack Obama welcomed the "positive sign", although he stressed that the new cap was still in the "testing phase".
Deepwater Horizon oil spill stopped, say BPThe US President said he would make a further statement on the situation on Friday, once more extensive tests had been carried out.
Although the well has been temporarily capped, it is not yet clear that the crisis is over and the next few days will be crucial.

so they now have capped the well...... And if the caps holds and the cleanup can really get underway ... what then? You really trust BP to tell the truth about the real devastation?
It is reported that scientists are being offered $250.00 per hour by BP, if they will simply sign on the dotted line, and keep silent about their work and findings for at least the next three years. Traitor? such a strong word "Judas" .... you choose....
