| Friday 28 May 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Gavin Esler Tonight we'll have the latest on the operation to block the flow of oil leaking from a damaged well in the Gulf of Mexico. US President Barack Obama will soon visit the Louisiana coast to view first-hand the damage that has been wrought. Our Science editor Susan Watts has been speaking to marine engineers, oceanographers and environmentalists to assess whether the operation to stem the flow of oil is really working, if industry regulations need to be tightened up, and what the environmental impact might be. And Gavin will be joined by guests who'll debate the political fallout from this disaster. Mr Obama has defended his government's handling of the incident and vowed to hold BP accountable, but a recent opinion poll shows 60% of Americans are unhappy with his government's response. Our Economics editor Paul Mason will be examining the state the global economy is in and we'll be joined live in the studio by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan. Do join Gavin for all that and more at 10.30pm on BBC Two. And don't forget that after tonight's show we'll not be back on your screens till Tuesday 1 June 2010 because of the bank holiday. |
