VELSHI: Let me bring you up to speed with some of the top stories we're following here at CNN. It's a lot to do with oil. It's been leaking into the Gulf of Mexico now for 43 days. We're covering every angle of this disaster. BP's latest effort to cap the leak is going on right now. Meanwhile, President Obama has ordered federal authorities to trip the manpower on parts of the Gulf Coast where the oil has hit shore. I'll go to Chad a little while to find out where those points are. Let's go overseas for a second. Al Qaeda says its number three man, the commander of its Afghan operations, has died. A web message from the terror group doesn't detail the cause of Mustafa Abu al-Yazid death but says his wife and several of his children were also killed. A U.S. intelligence source says it's believed Yazid was killed in Pakistan's tribal area. In Washington, a new and disturbing report. The Justice Department's internal watchdog says the agency is not ready to respond to a terrorist attack involving weapons of mass destruction. The report says the FBI alone is prepared but not the number of -- other law enforcement agencies under the justice umbrella. And after 40 years of marriage, former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper are separating. They sent an e-mail to friends calling it a mutual decision. No word on the details but the couple says they came to a decision after long and careful consideration. Again, we are covering the oil disaster in the Gulf from every angle. It's day 43. When we come back, we'll keep looking ahead at what the symptoms are.
