Kevin Costner steps in to curb Gulf oil disaster

Newsflash News Agency reports that British Petroleum is strongly denying claims from one of its partners that its behaviour was reckless in the run-up to the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Anadarko Petroleum, the largest independent oil and gas company operating in the Gulf, owns 25-percent of the well.

It says the explosion could have been prevented.

Meanwhile, BP has given the green light to actor and environmentalist Kevin Costner and his oil clean-up devices.

Costner has been fighting for 17 years to put his devices into the Gulf to act as a preventative measure in case of an oil spill.

BP will now use the invention, which can suck thousands of gallons of oil a day and separate it from water.
