http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/10/us-philippines-typhoon-idUSBRE9A603Q20131110 Leyte province's capital of Tacloban, with a population of 220,000, bore the brunt. The city and nearby villages as far as one kilometer from shore were flooded by the storm surge, leaving floating bodies and roads choked with debris from fallen trees, tangled power lines and flattened homes. TV footage showed children clinging to rooftops for their lives. " From a helicopter, you can see the extent of devastation. From the shore and moving a kilometer inland, there are no structures standing. It was like a tsunami," said Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas, who had been in Tacloban since before the typhoon struck the city, about 580 km (360 miles) southeast of Manila. " I don't know how to describe what I saw. It's horrific." |

(Sunday, Reuters) - Super typhoon Haiyan ever recorded killed at least 10,000 people in the central Philippines province of Leyte, with coastal towns and the regional capital devastated by huge waves. It destroyed about 70 to 80% of the area in its path as it tore through the province on Friday, said chief superintendent Elmer Soria, a regional police director.
Most of the deaths appear to have been caused by surging sea water strewn with debris that many described as similar to a tsunami, which leveled houses and drowned hundreds of people. On Saturday. The national govt and disaster agency have not confirmed the latest estimate of deaths, a sharp increase from initial estimates of at least 1,000 killed. " We had a meeting last night with the governor and the other officials. The governor said, based on their estimate, 10,000 died," Soria told Reuters. " The devastation is so big." |

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/why-the-haiti-earthquake-may-not-have-been-a-natural-disaster-6275044.html Findings suggest that cutting down trees on steep slopes may increase risk of not only landslides but earthquakes in heavily deforested places such as Haiti, which suffered a devastating magnitude 7 quake in 2010. " The 2010 earthquake hit Haiti occurred 18 mths after the same area was hit by two tropical storms and two hurricanes, It can happen in other mountainous areas affected by cyclones, such as Japan, the Philippines, and maybe Central America," Geologists have previously discounted the idea - New study suggests a different mechanism based on changes to the weight of soil and other ground material bearing down on a geological fault under seismic stress. " Very wet rain events are the trigger. Heavy rain induces thousands of landslides and severe erosion, which removes ground material from the Earth's surface, releasing the stress and encouraging movement along faults (earthquakes belt)." Dr Wdowinski said, analysis of timing of earthquakes and cyclones in Taiwan over the past 60 years has demonstrated a statistical correlation, with a significant number of quakes bigger than 6 occurring within four years of major cyclones ? known as typhoons in the Far East. Taiwan was hit in 1969 by Typhoon Flossie, then a 6.2 quake hit Taiwan in 1972. In 2009, Typhoon Morakot was followed by a 6.2 quake in the same year, and a 6.4 quake in 2010. Typhoon Herb, in 1996, was followed by a 6.2 quake in 1998 and a 7.6 quake in 1999.  Deforestation and extreme weather may later cause earthquakes, scientists believe.

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/super-typhoon-haiyan-hits-philippines-230815112.html Haiyan causing major damage across a 600-kilometre stretch of islands through the central Philippines. Ferocious winds, Haiyan generated storm surges that saw waves three metres (10 feet) high swamp coastal towns and power inland. " This is destruction on a massive scale. There are cars thrown like tumble weed and the streets are strewn with debris," said Sebastian Rhodes Stampa, the head of a United Nations disaster assessment coordination team. " The last time I saw something of this scale was in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami," he said, referring to the 2004 disaster that claimed about 220,000 lives. Stampa made his comments after arriving in Tacloban, the destroyed capital of Leyte with a population of about 220,000 people that is about 10 kilometres from Palo. Worst-hit areas on Leyte and Samar, isolated by destroyed power and communication lines as well as damaged roads, had yet to be contacted. One area of concern yet to be reached was Guiuan, a fishing town of about 40,000 people on Samar that was the first to be hit after Haiyan swept in from the Pacific Ocean. Capiz province, about 200 kilometres west of Tacloban, on Panay island. Capiz's infrastructure had been destroyed and many houses " flattened to the ground" .

Taiwan cooking oil scandal 台 湾 大 统 食 用 油 被 曝 添 加 违 禁 物 一 斤 卖 百 余 元 _________________________________________________________ http://www.theatlanticcities.com/technology/2013/10/warning-expose-chinas-gutter-oil-black-market-will-churn-your-stomach/7410/ China's street food and restaurants are filled with black market oil processed from rubbish and sewers known as 'gutter oil'. In this documentary by Radio Free Asia, we learn the disgusting origins of oil used to cook food in about one-tenth of China's food industry. In this video, a woman is seen opening up a manhole to uncover sewage material she finds 'valuable'. " Poisoned at the Source" series about food production issues in China,  specifically  Guangdong Province. If learning about gutter oil doesn't ruin your day, you can also watch mini documentaries about illegal slaughter tents that spring up overnight and disappear before the sun rises, agricultural fields fertilized with human garbage (" including used batters and toxic waste" ), and scam artists who sell fake soy milk.  |

http://www.china.org.cn/2013-04/16/content_28556502.htm An entire tall filing cabinets wall in Wei Kuangrong's office tell a sad and worrying story. The cabinets are filled with the faded registry cards of cancer patients stretching back over 40 years. Wei's dept, the Dept of Epidemiology at the Zhongshan Cancer Research Institute in Guangdong Province, has seen the cabinets fill ever more rapidly as the cancer incidence rate keeps climbing. Faced with some 200 new patients every day, Wei and his colleagues now record all patient information on a computer databases instead of the cards, according to a recent report from China News Week. Wei, 50, has been registering cancer patients for 27 years his work only accounts for a fraction of China's total cancer registry data. According to the 2012 Cancer Registry Annual Report, released in January, one new incidence of cancer is diagnosed every six minutes, resulting in 8,550 people being diagnosed with cancer every day. Of these cases, one in seven will eventually die from the disease. The report states: " China's cancer incidence and mortality rates continue to rise, the situation is grim. Every year, China has approximately 3.5 million new cancer cases and 2.5 million cancer deaths." With air particulate matter readings hitting an alarming PM 2.5, Chinese people are becoming increasingly concerned with the country's rising cancer incidence. |

Poland and nuclear-free Austria, however, welcomed the German move. Poland, is re-think of  launching its first nuclear power stn in 2020. U.S. and Britain have announced plans to build new reactors as an alternative to producing harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Italy scrapped nuclear power in 1987, one year after Chernobyl disaster, while Switzerland said it would phase out atomic energy by 2034.

Japan mayor offers Fukushima kids home at Matsumoto Japan (AP). A generation ago, Dr. Akira Sugenoya performed lifesaving cancer surgery on more than 100 children after 1986 Chernobyl catastrophe. Today, as mayor of a central Japanese city, he's trying to avoid a repeat of his own history. Affected Childrens of  Fukushima nuclear disaster  can to send their children about 300 k/m (200 miles) away to his city, Matsumoto. Govt's response to  three meltdowns at Fukushima nuclear plant, which exploded after the March 2011 tsunami and is still releasing radiation into the air and sea. Decommissioning will take decades, and experts disagree.... The single sickness confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency to have been caused by low-dose radiation from Chernobyl is thyroid cancer, which if properly treated with surgery is rarely fatal. Sugenoya, a thyroid specialist, volunteered to work in Belarus, close to the Ukraine power plant, in 1991 after hearing about thousands of cases of thyroid cancer there. Japanese govt has detected 44 confirmed and suspected cases of thyroid cancer among 217,000 youngsters, 18 and under. The link to radiation is still inconclusive, and extensive testing of Fukushima children could account for the higher numbers. Children are far more sensitive to radiation-caused diseases than adults because their bodies are developing.
