| Friday 4 June 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Gavin Esler President Barack Obama is to visit Louisiana again on Friday, to see the area affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. A new cap placed over the ruptured oil well has begun to funnel oil to the surface and a rough early estimate shows that about 1,000 barrels a day are being captured. But BP says it could take 48 hours to know if the system is working, and it is believed that 12,000-19,000 barrels of oil a day are still escaping. Tonight our Economics editor Paul Mason will be assessing the future of the company. Prime Minister David Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May have visited a hospital where survivors of the Cumbria shootings are being treated and met some of the police officers who responded to the incident. Speaking afterwards, Mr Cameron said that the community would need help to get through what would be "a very, very difficult time". Richard Watson has been to Hungerford, which was the scene of a mass shooting in 1987 in which 27-year-old Michael Ryan shot and killed 16 people including his mother, and wounded 15 others, before killing himself. How has this small, historic, Berkshire town coped and how will the community of Cumbria recover from the events of this week? We'll be talking to the Bishop of Carlisle and a leading psychiatrist. Join Gavin at 10.30pm on BBC Two. |
