► Inside Story Americas - A slap on the wrist for BP? Published on Nov 16, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish :: It has been two-and-a-half years since the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded, killing 11 workers and spilling nearly five billion barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Now, oil giant BP has reached a settlement with the US government. The company agreed to pay $4.5bn - the largest criminal fine in US history - in an attempt to resolve charges related to its oil spill. Although this is a record-setting penalty, it is one the company can comfortably afford to pay. So, as the region continues to suffer, does BP's $4.5bn settlement go far enough? (VIDEO)

► Published on Nov 16, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish :: The rhinoceros is one of Africa's iconic animals, but greed and corruption, myth and superstition have brought the rhino to the brink of extinction. For millenia its best protection, the rhino's horn has become its worst enemy. Rhino horn is now worth more than gold and demand for it is at an all-time high. South Africa, which has the largest reserves of the wild animal, is a prime hunting ground for poachers. In 2010, South Africa lost 333 rhino to poaching and this number is expected to double in 2012. In a personal journey, Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull encounters greed, ignorance and corruption - highlighting how South Africa became the epicentre of rhino poaching. What caused the global epidemic and how does it threaten the survival of a species? (VIDEO)

► Inside Story Americas - The cost of energy independence. Published on Nov 15, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish :: It was in the 1970's that an Arab oil embargo led to skyrocketing fuel prices and long lines at the pump across the United States. And since Richard Nixon, one US president after another, has invoked images like these as they vowed to reduce American dependence on foreign oil. Some promised complete independence during their tenure - they all failed. But in a recent report, the International Energy Agency (IEA), said that the US could finally achieve energy independence in the next few decades. It also said that it would overtake the world's largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia, by around the year 2020. (VIDEO)
