fuel beaks from the tanker and if there is a massive westfield at least uh, according to the philippine coast guard, this is going to be a massive catastrophe. one because of the proximity of where the tanker cap size is just 7 kilometers off the coast of the on which is just north of manila and to it's because of the vastness of the coast line of manila bay. it's called meant in the bay. but it doesn't just cover manila, it, it also and compasses, the coastlines of several problem is this north of manila and one province, south of many of that. so several, a coastal villages will be affected if there is a mass of voice bill. and we spoke to fishermen here and they said that this is going to be a problem on top of the many problems that they already have. one, they're still reeling from type of gaming happened to me having brought severe flooding here and destroyed some of their boats. and they said that they're also dealing with the reclamation projects that are being built on manila bay, which they say has dwindled fish box on many other day and has really affected their source of livelihood. dar

and so this is a very challenging mission for the philippine coast guards. as i said, it took 3 months for the philippine coast guard to clean up that oil spill in. doris. and in fact, uh, even until now, um uh, more than a year after that happened for sure man for affected. uh they said that they have not been paid. um the government promised that they will be paid for the damages because they lost their livelihoods. but they are still asking for that payment from the government, so its not just the cleaned up, but it's also compensating those who will be affected by the always bill. okay, thank you for that phone to rely with updates from manila. let's get more on this with lia guerrero. she is the green piece, philippines country director. she joins us now from manila. leah. so according to one ariel survey so far, this oil slick stretches several columbus is what sort of an impacts can an oil spill of this size cause if it's not clear it up as soon as possible. i thanks for that question. as expert avenue here in the shop. um yeah, uh the in fact uh will

the information from the philippine coast guard about this oil tanker. rd has found the body of, sorry, the fishermen that were thought to be missing on the ship. i should say the sailors. we didn't know before, they were not specifying whether they were not specifying whether they thought the ship had been impacted by the typhoon. it seems now the coast guard is suggesting this has come as a result of those wild and choppy waters we have been seeing as a result is the typhoon that did not make landfall in the philippines, but still had a big impact before shifting up and picking up strength and making landfall over taiwan over the last 24 landfall over taiwan over the last 2a hours. landfall over taiwan over the last 24 hours. ~ ., i. , landfall over taiwan over the last 24 hours. ~ ., ,., 24 hours. what can you tell us about the latest impact _ 24 hours. what can you tell us about the latest impact this _ 24 hours. what can you tell us about the latest impact this typhoon - 24 hours. what can you tell us about the latest impact this typhoon has i the la

and the philippine coast guard has already spotted an oil slick that's about 2 nautical miles from where the tanker capsized and if they're not able to contain this voice bill, it's possible that the oil spill will reach manila and there are fishing communities here. and of course this is the philippine capital, so it is a very major concern. just last year there was a major oil spill south of manila in the province of min. darl, where a tanker with 800000 meters of industrial fuel cap size, then it took 3 months to clean up that oil spill. so this is really going to be a major problem if that oil spill is not contain and reach us manila. so i think gave me is now moving across the taiwan straits, heading towards food. you in china is for g. i'm provence, a high speed railway system that's been closed effecting about 260 trains, ferries have also been suspended and construction of building sites has been posted . so westbrook is a java space in hong kong. she sent us this update. so pricing gave me moves across the taiwan straits. it's expected to make landfill. and to joe and china, swe

and so had here on al jazeera, the philippine coast guard, the pores, loading barriers in an effort to contain an oil spill from a cap sized tank or the had lower. that will stop by looking at the satellite image for south asia. and you can see the monsoon rains in full force across central and northern parts of india or it's already pockets done manages to stay dry for now, down in the south, we'll see the development of some west of weather across the move in areas like the whole but the heavy rain on the sack today, we'll continue to pull into western areas. we have warnings, amber warnings, stretching from raw just on a down to come can and go us fis wins as well, coming into coastal areas with that across the bay of bengal, the width and when the weather continues with heavy falls to come from me and my heavy rain is a story from much of east asia that thanks to tie food going may that's downgrading as it works its way further north, across much of china, it's going to bring that to wrench will range in a cub across the korean peninsula into rushes far east with some bus of heavy

the for the being coast guard said that the oil slip around where the tank or sink has stretched to a length of 10 to 14 kilometers. but on sunday, the philippine coast guard said that that had shrunk to just 3 kilometers. now, what happened to the rest of the oil, the coast guard said that it could have dissipated or the oil could have drifted. now that the 2nd scenario, of course, is a worst case scenario that many filipinos living in coastal areas are spreading. and in fact the, in the environmental non profit we piece has monitored oil slick just for too long . we're just off the coastline of have gone. we and the findings is bulletin. there are more concerns about the water quality of the rivers center, the powers olympics off, the pre race trash on event was canceled on sunday. organizes invested $1500000000.00 to clean up the river. heavy rain during the opening ceremony has led to why is the water which isn't clean enough for southern competitions for waste has moved from paris. in the start season, powers have invested $1500000000.00 in making the cents when level buy for residents buy next year for the operates at these olympic games.

so speaking to reporters at a press conference this afternoon, the philippine coast guard said that they are stopping the this persons that they are initially placed to contain the spill from the tanker based on the technical advice that it wasn't the most effective way to contain it. and instead, what they are doing is they are now resorting to the use of more containment booths, as well as floating booms that will hopefully absorb despair. that is, coming from the sunken bank or off the coast of the on. i'm speaking to reporters earlier, definitely being coast guard said that it is still verifying reports about the extent of the spell and whether it does actually already reached coastal communities or even extended to large parts of money to be. however, we have seen photographs from journalists and environmental organizations, sensation groups of what appears to be shiny, black oil slicks, which as the government said, they are still confirming what we are sure. offices that the coast guard has said that the government has already that local governments that are surrounding the bee an

and so the philippine coast guard had hoped to begin draining oil all 1500000 leaders of industrial fuel from the tanker on sunday. but as you mentioned, weather and the rough sea conditions did not permit the operation. but that's not the only reason there. um that they sent the divers underwater and the divers saw that 9 of the tankers balls had been leaking oil. and this is dangerous. they said, because any movements tanker or on the tank or could blow those valves open and put oil touching into the ocean water. and they don't want that to happen, of course, because this could potentially be the biggest oil school disaster in philippine history. and so now the decision is to see those valves 1st before they go into the siphoning operation. and the aim to be able to finish that by monday and then immediately go into the site for the operation which they aim to finish on tuesday . especially. sounds like a very complex operation. it's been what 3 days now since the concord kept size just how bad is the well spelled right now of the world on saturday, the philippine coast guard said that

the philippine coast guard now has 3 vessels on side. and these 3 vessels have oil spill booms on them, and the crew have been being dispersed since. now this presidents are chemicals that have the ability to break down the oil into a tiny little particles, which in q e should prevent the oil from spreading. but that's, that's not the main goal of their main goal. these are just initial measures. their main goal is to be able to siphon off all 1400000 leaders of industrial fuel from the tanker within a matter of the 7 days. and they've enlisted the help of the private company to do that. and the private company is also going to help pull the tank or from under water. now the good news is, according to the philippine coast guard, is that they believe that the oil spill is just limited. now 2 within that vicinity of where the tanker capsized that they believe that the oil that has leak from the tanker is engine oil and not industrial fuel. from, from the tanker about the size of the cap size. it is also very shallow. its about 34 meters de
