BP set to pay largest environmental fine in US history for Gulf oil spill

Available for over a year

BP reaches a $18.7bn settlement with the US Department of Justice following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It is the largest settlement paid by a single company in US history. We hear the reaction of a New Orleans fisherman who says his business was blighted by the environmental disaster and also about the impact this event has had on the BP brand. As Greece wobbles towards the Euro exit door, we hear why some people still risk their lives to get there. And after a German worker is killed by an industrial robot, is there reason to be concerned about automata in the workplace?
