Philippine government starts cleanup of 'world's most-polluting river'

The Philippine government has begun an ambitious project to restore what has been described as a dead river.

The Pasig waterway in Manila has been ranked as the world's most-polluting river as it empties thousands of tonnes of plastic into the ocean each year.

A task force has been formed to rehabilitate the river. Al Jazeera's Barnaby Lo reports from Manila, the Philippines.
