Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen declared a war on the gusher over the weekend as BP continued its attempts to curb the spill. Meanwhile, a device put in place on Friday on top of the blown-out well is working to collect 10,000 barrels of oil per day. While that's still only a portion of the oil spewing from the well, BP head Tony Hayward says the cap could eventually capture 90 percent of the oil. However, the longterm effects are still daunting.

Two American citizens were arrested yesterday at New York's JFK airport. The young men from New Jersey, both in their 20s, had been under surveillance since 2006. Law enforcement laid low, gathered evidence and waited until this weekend when the two men were trying to board separate flights to Egypt, and then to Somalia where they were allegedly planning to join al-Shabab, a terrorist group allied with al-Qaida.

This week is all about "angst," says Takeaway economics editor Charles Hermann. Politically, it's about "watching the women," says Takeaway Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich. Those are the terms setting the agenda for this week, as we look ahead at news on the economic impact of the oil spill and whether anti-incumbent fever will affect Tuesday's primary elections.

Hungary's new prime minister, Viktor Orban has only been in power for a week, but on Friday, some officials on his team said that their country may be headed toward a Greek-style financial crisis, with credit default looming. This alarmed investors, who are already worried about debt in the Eurozone countries such as Greece, Spain and Italy.

After a long selection process, the new issue hits newsstands today, full of prose and promise.

Mayor of Pensacola, Fla., Mike Wiggins says the beach is "open for business;" headlines.

There seems to be some progress under the ocean at the Gulf of Mexico's spill site, where a newly installed containment cap is capturing a portion of the gushing oil. On the water's surface, however, the inexorable spread of oil is making its way as far east as Pensacola, Florida, where it is threatening lives and livelihoods across the Gulf coast.

As energy legislation makes its way to Capitol Hill, lawmakers are beginning to hint at how they'll work together. Sen. John Cornyn said that he is ready to work with Democrats to deal with some of our environmental concerns. However, it is unlikely that senators like Cornyn will accept the president's comprehensive energy and climate change legislation.

BP has promised to clean up "every drop" of the spill. This is an expensive prospect, which has prompted business analysts to advise investors to sell their BP stock. With the cleanup costs and the possibility of litigation, investors may be betting that BP is going down. However, is the company facing banrkruptcy? The New York Times Wall Street and finance reporter Louise Story reports on Wall Street's reaction to the crisis.

Two disasters, two presidents, one city. Even though the Gulf oil spill hasn't directly hit New Orleans, it's hard not to think of the disaster in the context of the Hurricane that hit the same region five years ago. Historian Douglas Brinkley says its residents are in a state of "permanent stress." But, he says, he's more angry now because this disaster was man made. New Orleans is Brinkley's adopted home town and he assesses President Obama's response so far.

BP's blundering CEO, Tony Hayward is facing heat for his insensitivity. At a press conference last month, he said of the spill, "There's no one who wants this over more than I do. I want my life back." The statement outraged many and some are calling for his resignation. Louisiana congressman Charlie Melancon has even put a petition online – in what he called Tony Hayward’s pink slip.

Satirist, voice actor and radio host Harry Shearer spends much of his time in New Orleans. As the BP oil well continues to spew into the Gulf, he looks at the effect of the disaster on the culture of the city. In a region where the sea food industry co-exists with oil, he says it's becoming impossible to trust either the government or the private sector.

Amnesty International is claiming that the United States broke international law when it took part in an airstrike in Yemen, which killed dozens of civilians. The strike, which took place in mid-December, was directed against al-Qaida members and was heralded as a success by the Yemeni government because it killed more than 30 militants. However, Amnesty International's arms control researcher Mike Lewis explains that the weapons used exceeded the ethical and legal limits for the civilian-populated area.

Former labor secretary under President Clinton, Robert Reich, says the Obama administration should take over BP’s operations in the Gulf of Mexico until the oil well is plugged, comparing it to the government’s takeover of the carmaker GM last year. In a blog post on his website, he writes that this would ensure that “the firm would unambiguously be working in the public’s interest."
