Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill 'One of Worst in US History'

Obama has mobilised 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 a slick, from an underwater rupture that may continue leaking for months.

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.
