In this photograph made available by the Ministry of Defence, the Royal Air Force VC10 and Tristar air-to-air refuelling aircraft, from RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, England, which supported overnight operations against targets in Libya, Saturday, March 19, 2011. They accompanied RAF Tornado GR4 fast jets from RAF Marham that struck Libyans air defences, in the longest strike mission since the Black Buck operations during the Falklands conflict. British Prime Minister Cameron said that launching a military action against Libya is "necessary, legal and right." Speaking after chairing an emergency meeting with senior government officials in his office in Downing Street, the leader said his thoughts are with British service personnel who are risking their lives to save others.

BP PLC's CEO Bob Dudley during a results media conference at their headquarters in London, Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011. BP announced Tuesday it is resuming dividend payouts for the first time since the Gulf of Mexico well disaster, despite suffering its first full-year loss since 1992, and plans to sell off almost half of its U.S. refinery business. BP said a stronger-than-expected end to 2010, in which high oil prices lifted fourth quarter profit by 30 percent, was not enough to avoid a full-year loss of $3.7 billion. It raised to $40.9 billion its estimate for the overall cost of the spill, the charge covering the cost of the explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig, which killed 11 workers in April, as well as plugging the well and cleaning up the southern U.S. coast.
