Cheat Sheet - Summit to Decide on War With Iran

Today: BP Reaches $7.8B Settlement, 32 Dead in Southern Storms, Will Sandra Fluke Sue Rush Limbaugh?
The Daily Beast Cheat Sheet: Morning

March 03, 2012
MEETING

In the past few months, whether Israel should attack Iran has become a subject of heated public debate. That debate could come to a head on Monday, many Israelis believe, when President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu meet in Washington to finally decide: Will there be war with Iran? Isaac Herzog on the high-stakes summit that has the Middle East on edge.

COMPENSATION

BP has reached a $7.8 billion settlement with businesses and victims of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion that spilled millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. In a statement yesterday, BP said the settlement will be paid to victims out of a $20 billion trust, covering most claims for economic loss, property damage, and medical injuries. A U.S. District Judge in New Orleans announced that the the first phase of the trial, which was scheduled to start March 5 to determine which companies were liable for the spill, would be adjourned indefinitely until the next steps were worked out.

DISASTER

A rescue effort has begun in the South and the Midwest after fast-moving tornadoes and severe thunderstorms tore through the regions on Friday and early Saturday morning, leaving at least 32 dead and hundreds others injured. The National Weather Service estimated that 34 million people were at risk of being affected by the wide-ranging storms, with 17 states on high alert as the first wave zeroed in on southern Indiana, northern Alabama, and parts of Kentucky and Tennessee. 15 were killed in Indiana, where the tiny town of Marysville was completely flattened by a twister. Some 250 troops were called into Indiana to bring aid to those in Maryville and the surrounding towns. At least 13 were killed in Kentucky, three in Ohio, and one in Alabama.

INTERVIEW

Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student pilloried as a "slut" by Rush Limbaugh for testifying in favor of access to birth control, tells Allison Yarrow in an interview that she won't stop fighting—and she may file suit.

SYRIA

The Red Cross remains stalled in the city of Homs after a convoy carrying aid was inexplicably blocked Friday by Syrian troops from entering the beleaguered neighborhood of Baba Hamr. In a statement Saturday, the Red Cross said it still had not gained entry, but that Syrian authorities had given them "positive signals" that they would be allowed in soon. Adding to the violence, a suicide bomber killed two people and wounded others in the southern town of Deraa on Saturday, according to the Syrian state news agency.  Opposition activists denied any connections to the explosion but could not give an explanation for the reported attack.
