In the recent CNN article, BP is saying that the oil leak has been fixed and it is no longer pouring out undersea in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the devastation isn't resolved just yet. The pressure in the oil well stack has not reached enough pounds per square inch which means not all the oil is flowing all the way through but where has not yet been detected.
Underwater computers and cameras are monitering the ocean floor to detect and leakage. A backup relief well is being built around the original one in August to prevent future disasters like this one. And while the issue is not yet put to rest, things are looking up from here.
