THE TELEGRAPH: Barack Obama has warned that the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is not over.
Although oil has stopped leaking into the ocean, the US President has urged Americans not to "get too far ahead of ourselves".
BP announced on Thursday evening that it had successfully capped the Deepwater Horizon oil well for the first time since April.
Underwater video footage showing no oil gushing from the well has led to widespread relief across America.
Speaking outside the White House, Mr Obama said that although the worst of the crisis was probably now in the past it would be several more weeks before it was finally over. Tests will continue for the next 24 hours to establish whether the cap will hold. >>> Robert Winnett in Washington | Friday, July 16, 2010
