BP is to pay $18bn for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil giant has reached a settlement with the US Department of Justice following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. 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.
