response, essentially, to someththing we all remembeber, e deepwater horizon oil spill in the gulf of mexico. in 2010-- i certainly remember, i'm sure a a lot of folks do--this was ongoing every day, oil spilling into the gulf, the havoc it was wreaking on wetlands and other critical ecosystems of the gulf coast, you know, from texas all the way to florida. and the sort or feeling of helplessness. >> the spill was the size of hawaii. it was literally an oil tsunami in the gulf of mexico. thousands and thousands of gallons of f crude oil spilling into the w water every minute, evevery day. t this was a manmae catastrophe. and it just struck me that this is--this is the scariest thing i've ever seen. this is a serious threat when oil spills, not just to marine life. obviously that's bad, and obviously the beaches. we're still getting tar washining up n those beaches now. but t also to the liveliliods sf the people in these regigions. in the gulf, 8 out of 10 people have a livelihood connected either to the oil and gas drilling industry or to hospspitality and tourism.m. anl of those things wer

oil spill, five million barrels of oil spewed out five miles below the surface of the gulf into the waters of the gulf of mexico, and rendered the havoc and economic damage that it did. so in the turmoil and trauma that ensued, there was obviously a need in the department of interior in the bureau of safety , it's called bsee, to go in and change the rules to give additional safety mechanisms to make sure that this wouldn't happen again. well, lo and behold, there is now a change, and we are starting to see the first attempts at the weakening of those rules. sometimes the issue of regulatory reform feels abstract or arbitrary. this is technical stuff. it's dry. but safety standards created after the deepwater horizon oil spill, they're not dull and boring. they're life or death. they were written specifically to make sure that families like those 11 that lost their loved ones wouldn't have to be notified again that there was a preventable death. so what are these new rules about? well, they are real estate coming in on the blowout preventer, which is a system to control the flow of oil to seal an oil well. a bl

no tsunami warning for the us east coast or the gulf of mexico. t trump from ending a programme locking children being sent home. donald trump is insisting on tying all this into funding for his promised wall on the mexican border. democrats are strongly opposed. promised wall on the mexican border. democrats are strongly opposedlj feel having the democrats in with us is absolutely vital because there should be a bipartisan bill. this should be a bipartisan bill. this should be a bill of love and we can do that. but it also has to be a bill where we are able to secure the border. drugs are pouring into our country at a record place —— pace. a lot of people are coming in who we can't have. we've greatly stiffened, as you know, and fewer people are trying to come in, but we have tremendous numbers of people and drugs pouring into our country. so in order to secure it, we need a wall. heavy snow aross the alps has cut off towns and villages, and raised the avalanche risk level to maximum in some areas. tourists are being airlifted out of zermatt, one

the reason the deepwater horizon ,appened in the gulf of mexico which spilled more than 200 million gallons of crude oil into the gulf of mexico, devastating wildlife and coastal communities, was because bp was trying to save cost and was trying to become the top dog in the entire gulf of mexico offshore drilling operations, trying to beat out shell. so in that process, they basically cut costs and did not do proper safety. so the blowout preventer is what caused the blowout to happen, the largest blowout in u.s. history. subsequent to that, several years -- led to establishing offshore safety clement regulations. so exactly the week before the last week, the trump administration announced weakening of those regulations. so it is extremely important. the other is right before that in early december, the department of interior also killed a study that would have , the bureau ofre ocean management, controls and does oversight of offshore oil and gas leasing programs. so they killed that study. that is also very significant. we may have forgotten by now, but in 2008, the agency that used to do

there is arctic cold front, disturbance near gulf of mexico and strong jet stream off florida, all these will combine to bring a storm up eastern see game starting tomorrow, with snow possible, even in portions of georgia and south carolina, that storm stays off shore but will bring in enough moisture back toward coast to give us a brush of snow on thursday, and especially in the morning and shore will be hardest hit. coming up we will tell you how much snow is expect where you live and tell you about the very strong winds that will follow, this system. for now, back over to you. >>> you know this been chilling cold can be a shock to the system. it has been hard on underground pipes resulting in an increase of water main breaks. there have been several today alone in our area. water mains ruptured in northeast philadelphia, moorestown new jersey and west conshohocken.

yeah i mean it's big you know not only in mexico but also the united states for exports of oil and gas that go across the us mexico border whether it's across the gulf of mexico whether it's these pipelines build out so it is you know i would say from a u.s. company perspective huge for exporting their products to mexico in terms of pipeline companies that's a boon boon for them looking at companies like trans canada and south brothers the two leading pipeline companies right now and mexico there are also also huge companies in the united states but in terms of how the industry sees it i think that the best lens that i could is the best kind of perspective that i can offer and that is the reason why that one of the major reasons why this constitutional reform passed was because through the united states state department there was a push to make this happen lots of revolving door figures a guy the name of carlos past who at the time was that their u.s. ambassador to mexico would leave and now works for an industry consulting firm but you know these particular figures within the state department who at the time was run by heather clinton they were pus

the reason i do becus well out in the gulf of mexico and it could wobble 50 miles or 100 miles and that would make a difference in output. right now analyzing a lot of the models, most will stay offshore in terms of the bulk. watch as it rolls up. if you have travel plans thursday morning to take you in and out of philly, new york city, boston, providence and the areas farther north to maine. snow will be measured in a foot in spots there in the day. that is something we are watching. here locally. let me show you what one of the forecast models talks about looking at the snow. i don't think we see anything from d.c. to the west. but areas like easton, 1.3. southern maryland you could get an inch or go inches of snow. but the overall big picture in the advisory in our area, again the sound of my voice we don't have any of the winter weather advisories in the area. the winter storm watches posted well to the east. so keep that in mind. i'll watch this closely because it could go the other way by 50 or 100 miles. tonight, clear skies and very cold. up to 33 tomorrow. another cold day. wel
