, we've had a week of severe weather, now i understand there's another powerful system in the south china sea. >> you're absolutely right, we have a typhoon here. it made landfall yesterday in northern luzon in the philippines, now it's heading to the south china sea. it is still a strong typhoon. that's the category it's in at the moment. gives us winds of 126 kilometers an hour to gusts up to 180. it's likely to weaken off as it heads through the south china sea, but for the moment, it is still a potent system and bringing heavy rain and destructive winds still for northern portions of the philippines. we'll see the heavy rain mostly falling over water, so that's some good news at least, but still seeing a lot of moisture over taiwan, as well as the southern japanese islands. in fact, we have an area of heavy rain traveling further north over the weekend. it's right here and develops a bit and is going to be heading in towards japan. nice and sunny over the weekend in much of japan and northeastern china. temperaturewise, not too bad here. 20 degrees in tokyo, 16 in seoul. 17 in beijing, st

glad to hear it is beginning to slow down. >> it's beginning to weaken over the south china sea. ason is because these storms thrive on very warm ocean temperatures and the south china sea is not as warm as where the storm came from, which was east of the philippines. if you take a look at the satellite image right now, where the storm's west of the philippines, you can see it's still very, very expansive, covering a wide area, and the eye of the storm is now about here, again, moving through the south china sea. here are the philippine islands here. right now we are seeing wind speeds sustained at 125 miles, just to the west of the philippine islands. that would make it a category 3, strong category 3 storm. as it moves through the south china sea, sea surface temperatures are lower in this region here than down to the south. it's going to continue to weaken as it tracks up toward vietnam. looks like it's going to make landfall as a category 3 storm, a weak category 3 storm. that is between 111 and 129 miles per hour, the wind speeds. then as it moves over land, it quickly weaken

hopefully we will not see much more in the way of fatalities, hopefully but it is headed into the south china sea. that is where it is sitting but it has weakened it was a strong category 5 storm. winds over 200 miles an hour down to about 125, 130 miles an hour. still a monster storm but here is where we thing it is headed over the next couple days, generally over the south china sea, northeast sections of north vietnam eventually heading into laos by monday it could still be a category 1 or 2 hurricane by then, tropical storm or they call them typhoons in that part of the world and hurricanes this part of the world. we will continue to track the storm's progress throughout the weekend. quiet weather for us. back to you. >>> a gas leak forces evacuations downtown baltimore. sky chopper 13 over the north block of charles street. a contractor was working in a commercial building and hit a gas line. crews are working to repair the leak. firefighters evacuated a day care when it happened. >>> well, a big night, the plead of baltimore 2 is celebrating -- pride of baltimore 2 is celebrating its annive

that shows our viewers, the chinese are currently claiming all the way out into the east china sea and into the south china sea. they claim islands that the japanese claim. they claim, i think, within 100 or 150 miles of manila. it is an enormous area. they now have announced that they're asserting that this is an air defense zone. the president has responded to that by sending b-52s through that area. the japanese have announced, they've told their airlines to not tell the chinese they're coming and to keep using the area. late today as van just reported, we've seen the chinese send in aircraft carrier, i think with two guided missile frigates into the south china sea where they are bullying indonesia, vietnam. how far should the u.s. go in pushing back? and to what extent is this at least as dangerous if not more dangerous than anything we're seeing in iran? >> i think over the long term, the u.s. confrontation with china will dwarp our confrontation with iran. it is in a much stronger position than it was when president obama became president. we just sign add new defense agreement with japan. we

the water in the south china sea isn't quite as bath water kind of warm, so it won't pick up as much intensity as it makes its way toward places like vietnam and then up toward southern portions of china. you can see that track continues to take it further inland. so flooding rainfall is very likely with this storm. we can put it in historical perspective for some storms that we have had here in the united states including, of course, hurricane katrina, the one that is so fresh in our minds because of just how devastating this storm was. when katrina made landfall, it was a category 3 with 125 mile- per-hour winds which is much lower than the 149 mile-per- hour winds that haiyan had when it made landfall earlier this morning. a little closer comparison is hurricane andrew. that storm in 1992 had winds up in the 175-mile an hour range. it was the strongest storm as far as wind speed goes to ever hit the united states and it's one of the only category 5 storms to ever make landfall here in the united states. so we have some historical perspectives to put it in for you. typhoon haiyan w

it will move across the south china sea, and by the time it gets here it is expected to have wind speed120 miles an hour, but the track, still getting a lot of moisture coming in from the sea there, so maybe not losing much intensity, despite it being over land. certainly it looks like flooding and wind damage will be a problem here for the next two days. and it is starting to get warmer in denver as the wind comes across the mountains, but elsewhere cooler air coming in to minneapolis, washington, d.c., and the pacific northwest still seeing this weather come in from the ocean there. the valleys not seeing the winter weather advisory, but the upper elevations getting a little snow, and on the eastern slope of the rockies, the wind is picking up there. not a lot of rain or snow, but some is over montana. wind advisory for texas, oklahoma, and up through kansas. that wind will really start to pick up and waiting for the warm air to return to the northeast, it certainly was not there this morning. the cold northwest wind creating lake-effect snow, these streamers come off of the lake here

so this is a concern where it's across the south china sea. and right now, the estimated winds at landfall is close to 190 miles per hour. certainly not as intense, but it's a chance to re-intensify there as it moves back over water. >> still ahead on aljazeera, america reviving detroit. how one woman is trying to bring back business to motown. >> blackberry is paying millions in the hopes that the interim ceo can get them back on their feet. a base salary of $1 million, but that's not all. a bonus on top of that could twice or double that amount. stock options could bring his income to $180 million. they have lost market share to samsung and apple. and disappointing sales report from mcdonald's. sales went up 5/10 of a percent last month, and the increase was just 2 cents of a percent in the u.s., and in the u.s., higher. they fell just about every place else, in japan. >>> all this week, aljazeera has been focusing on americans finding innovative solutions during these tough economic times. and they're calling them the champions of the commi
