'Top kill' a pivotal moment for BP in capping oil leak

(CNN) – We are live this morning in Grand Isle, Louisiana where they're hoping and praying for a miracle today. BP's make-or-break moment has arrived.

The oil giant's "top-kill" operation is poised to begin. We'll be showing you live underwater video all morning as BP attempts to inject 50,000 pounds of industrial mud into the spewing well, all in a desperate attempt to stop it.

The procedure has successfully worked on above-ground oil wells in the Middle East, but has never been tested 5,000 feet underwater.

But all previous attempts by the company to cap the spill have failed. And BP Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward has given the "top kill" maneuver a 60 to 70 percent chance of success.

The procedure involves pumping thick, viscous fluid twice the density of water into the site of the leak to stop the oil flow. If all goes according to plan, the well can then be sealed shut with cement.

Through the early morning hours Wednesday, BP put equipment into place. A team of experts will examine conditions inside the five-story blowout preventer to determine how much pressure the injected mud will have to overcome. Read more

Program Note: It's an interview you will not want to miss. This morning we're talking with BP CEO Tony Hayward. He called the environmental impact of this spill "modest" before backtracking on that. We'll ask him why he's so much more confident than the government that this will work. Also, why it took so much pressure to keep the cameras on during the operation.

Patience runs thin as BP preps untested maneuver

(CNN) – Oil company BP is expected to brief reporters Tuesday morning about its next attempt to contain the gushing oil in the Gulf of Mexico - a maneuver called "top kill" that it plans to implement the following day.

All previous attempts by the company to cap the spill have failed, and BP CEO Tony Hayward said the "top kill" maneuver will have a 60 to 70 percent chance of success when it is put in place as early as Wednesday morning.

The procedure has successfully worked on above-ground oil wells in the Middle East, but has never been tested 5,000 feet underwater.

Public patience was wearing thin 36 days into the spill, as oil sloshed ashore on Louisiana's barrier islands and seeped into marshes around the mouth of the Mississippi River. Read more

Mixed messages as frustration mounts over Gulf oil spill

(CNN) – Two top Obama administration officials head to Louisiana on Monday to assess the response to the massive oil spill as the administration sends mixed messages about BP's effort to cap the gusher.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will accompany a group of Republican and Democratic senators on a flyover of the affected areas. They'll also meet with BP representatives and community leaders.

Salazar expressed frustration Sunday with the delay in stopping the spill into the Gulf of Mexico, saying BP has "from day one, frankly not fulfilled the mission it was supposed to fulfill." Read more

Arizona wants to reassign teachers with accents

It's been a month since Arizona passed its controversial immigration law that sparked protests from coast to coast. Now, state education officials want immigrant teachers with heavy accents removed from classes for students who are still learning English. They say they are following federal guidelines set up by the Bush administration in 2002, but critics are calling it an ethnic witch hunt. Our Thelma Gutierrez looks at the new great debate in this AM original report.

The Cost of College: Families placing premium on value

With college costs sky-rocketing and a recession raging, it's not just about getting into the best school these days. For many students and their cash-strapped parents, prestige is taking a back seat to price. Our Alina Cho reports for the first part of a week-long series, "The Cost of College."

BP: Oil leak into Gulf could be stopped by next week

(CNN) – A BP official says a gusher of oil pouring from its damaged Gulf of Mexico well could be shut off as early as next week.

BP Managing Director Bo Dudley said Thursday night the company will pump fluids into the well this weekend in the beginning of a process that - if successful - could lead to the leak finally being closed off in a matter of days.

"If that option doesn't work, we've got a second and a third option we'll do after that," Dudley said on CNN's Larry King on Thursday. "We're hopeful that next week we'll be able to shut it off."

Earlier in the day, BP acknowledged that the underwater gusher is bigger than estimated to date, as new video showed a cloud of crude billowing around its undersea siphon. Read more

Pakistani Taliban plotting to strike U.S.?

U.S. intelligence has strong reason to believe that the Pakistani Taliban is actively plotting to hit interests in the U.S. and American targets overseas, a U.S. official told CNN Thursday.

The concerns about the group that authorities say directed the Times Square bombing plot are coming from multiple streams of information, including from Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bombing suspect, the official said.

The official told CNN that CIA Director Leon Panetta and National Security Adviser Jim Jones relayed the new terror threat information to Pakistan's government on their trip there earlier this week.

N. Korea slams report that it torpedoed S. Korean ship

(CNN) – North Korea denied Thursday that it fired a torpedo that sank a South Korean warship in March, killing 46 sailors.

South Korean military officials on Thursday announced the results of an official investigation into the sinking of the Cheonan, prompting North Korea to accuse them of fabricating evidence.

"We had already warned the South Korean group of traitors not to make reckless remarks concerning the sinking of warship Cheonan of the puppet navy," North Korea's national defense commission said in a statement, according to the Korean Central News Agency. "Nevertheless, the group of traitors had far-fetchedly tried to link the case with us without offering any material evidence."

The 1,200 ton corvette sank after a mysterious explosion tore it into half near disputed waters off North Korea on March 26. Read more

Gut Check: City issues ID's to illegal immigrants

Politicians, and some police, say Arizona's tough, new immigration law is deserately needed to stop a wave of violent crime committed by illegal immigrants "pouring over the border."

Critics say this kind of talk is "wildly exaggerated" and an excuse to use racial profiling to lock up people who are five times LESS likely to commit crimes than American citizens.

Who's right? Our Carol Costello has a Gut Check report for us this morning.

Specter's loss, Paul's win shake up murky political map

(CNN) – Voters sent mixed signals in Tuesday's primary elections in Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Arkansas. They tossed out a veteran senator, nominated a Tea Party-backed candidate and also chose a longtime aide to fill the U.S. House seat vacated by the death of Democratic Rep. John Murtha.

In another closely watched race, Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln failed to win more than 50 percent of the vote and faces a June 8 runoff in the Arkansas Senate primary to decide the party's candidate in November.

The results reinforced the perception of anger across the country against Washington politics-as-usual, but also showed the public discontent may be aimed at both Democrats and Republicans.

In Pennsylvania, voters rejected longtime incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter's bid to run for a sixth Senate term, choosing Rep. Joe Sestak as the Democratic nominee for Senate in November. Read more
