BP says that the cap over the oil well has completely stopped the spill, with no oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico.
From The Telegraph
The news was released via Twitter and news agencies. A live video feed of the well shows no oil flowing. BP has been slowly reducing the flow as part of a test on a new cap. Engineers are now monitoring the pressure to see if the broken well holds.
The oil has been leaking into the Gulf since April, when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 workers.
Louisiana has suffered the worst of the damage, with the spill affecting miles of its coastline.
