robert dudley has a history in russia and with his first visit since the disputed two thousand and eight but this time in a new role as the c.e.o. of b.p. so one of the main topics of the discussion is likely to be b.p.'s operation in russia and russia even the. order of these global oil output currently and if we look at the future it will see that the tanking b.p. has let me have a reader will be bernie and it's very important for the company if you do the fact that b.p. is looking to raise thirty billion dollars in order to deal with the consequences of this disastrous spill in the gulf of mexico another topic of the discussion will be the nomination of tony hayward's as the director of also here at the headquarters for us now. so the talks today are up to the docks today we will know if tony hayward will join to b.p. or no but what is not likely to be on their agenda is as some media suggested is that they'll be talks concerning the sales of russia's as a b.p. but you know i think it will be on the contrary that take a b. you will be looking among other russia's oil giants will be lo

[ laughter ] who cares? this is pretty crazy story. a hospital in britain is going to use a fleet of robots to deliver food, handle dirty linen and dispense drugs. yeah, that's good. because if there's one thing that puts patients at ease it's having "the terminator" show up to change their bed pans.

leadership in the last 24 hours including bob dudley and the team that is here working on it. there is no daylight between us. this will not be done until the relief wells are down. that's from the national incident commander. >> but did b.p. say.... >> that is understood by everybody. >> woodruff: in the meantime a federal task force of scientists issued a new estimate that more than 200 million gallons of oil flowed into the gulf from april 20 to mid july. that would make it the largest oil spill in history. under the clean water act, b.p. might be liable to pay anywhere from $5.4 billion to as much as $21 billion. if the company is cited for gross negligence or willful ms. conduct. by some estimates , 33 million gallons of the total spill were collected or burned off which would lower the fine. as for the people of the gulf, 25,000 square miles of federal fishing areas have reopened so far. about a third of what was closed. the reaction has been mixed among fishermen who make their living on the water. >> they will open up more areas for shrimping that they'll be able to br

s performance and i've been very frank about this with tony hayward and bob dudley oshgs mar mckay and the other leaders there. b.p. is an oil wide oil exploration company. that is what they do and that's what they've been organized to do, that's how... their current culture is aimed at that. when you have an oil spill, we have to get right down to the personal transaction level, you have to be concerned with claims with shrimpers of lost income, so when i talk about b.p.'s performance i like to split it into two parts, one at the well head. they've done an extraordinary amount of engineering work and technology. they brought things into the gulf of mexico that did not exist to do what they've done and stop the well. and many... >> rose: this is after the spill? >> right. many of those technologies did not pre-exist before the spill, had to be brought, there engineered and put in place. you could discuss whether or not it should have been there beforehand but regarding their engineering effort to control the well i give them high marks. >> rose: and these are things that have been deve

ideal -- almost daily with bob dudley, the c.e.o. before that, tony hayward. they know what's expected of them. they by law don't have to acknowledge anything. they are the responsible party. they've been designated that in writing by the coast guard, and that means that they are responsible for all costs associated with this. so i think the combination of the legal framework around the designation of a responsible party, the intense scrutiny they're under right now, i think we're in a place where they understand their commitment. but we have to understand, too, the federal government has a role here and we have to make sure they comply with the directions that are provided and they meet their responsibilities as well. it's not really well understood but under the oil pollution act of 1990, responsible parties actually a legal designation and both b.p. and transocean have been designated responsible parties in that. failure to comply can result in either civil or criminal penalties. host: margaret in new york on the democratic line. good morning. caller: good

dudley and mr. hayward, the lens by which the public measures their response is not the technology at the wellhead. it is the compassion and empathy shown to the people who are affected by this, in terms of claims process and the vessels and opportunity and so forth. if you do not have the capability of compassion in this spill -- what is the role of the responsible party? what do we expect them to do? beyond that, i think we have moved, since the exxon valdez, the expectation in this country, that we will have the whole of government response that will include things like behavior health among long-term medical monitoring, things that are not currently allowed under the oil spill trust fund. i think we have redefined the social contract with the people of america on what you do in case of these responses. during hurricane katrina, when i worked as a federal official, we would dispatch out -- we would establish trailers to get people out of the emergency housing. the moment you had with intent peopl

>> i have talked to senior vp leadership several times, including bob dudley. nobody in bp believe they demonstrated that can drill and hit a 7 inch pipe. they understand the technology that is involved, the efforts put forth. everybody thinks we should do this. the question is how to understand the risks involved. there is no disagreement. the question is how to apply with the conditions and assess the risk and develop the course of the action to make the best decision. i and the national incident commander. i will issue the order when we decide how we are going to proceed. it will be based on my determination of what it will take to kill as well. we will determine when the well is dead. once the well is dead, there is no longer a threat of discharge. then there will no longer be a role for the national incident commander. it will shift to a regulatory issue for the bureau of ocean energy and management within the department of the interior. next question. >> this is from the associated press. i know there has not been an order issued yet. pending an order, wi

dudley and everyone else, the lens is not necessarily the technology of the wellhead. is the compassion shown towards the people who are affected towards this. it is difficult if you don't have that capacity to translate that into a third-party contract during the spill. i think we need to understand a couple of things. what is the role of the responsible party? what do we expect them to do? i think we have moved since the exxon valdez to an expectation that we will have a response that will include things like medical monitoring, things that are not presently allowed under the oil spill liability trust fund to spend money on. we have to define what the government's involvement is. we have redefined the social contract with the people. during hurricane katrina, we would find -- we would get people of emergency housing. when there were more than 10 trawlers on a site, you needed case workers, compliance, it gets very complicated. i do not think we ever sat down and thought about the complete government response. when you talk about the oil spill response, i think we pro

i have spoken to senior leadership at bp, including bob dudley. there is no daylight between us.his will not be done until the relief wells are done. that is from the national incident commander. it is understood by everybody. >> one more question from the associated press. can you give us an estimate as to how long the injection tests might take over all? and how quickly will you know whether you can move ahead with the static kill, as quickly as later today? >> those were the discussions upstairs before i came down. we think it will take a couple of hours. as long as nothing else happens, and try to establish the flow path, volume, and pressure we expect from the injection tests, we will be in the static killed sometime this afternoon. microphone. >> i just had a question for you personally, as far as it -- you're getting pretty close to what could be the finish line. what is this like for you emotionally? are you hopeful, anxious? >> as the national incident commander it would be my responsibility to speak on behalf of the nation. i do not represent any agency, bp, or anything
