Hello everyone. Ayshah here bringing you the latest this Tuesday

:00:00.:00:12.

afternoon. No money. No television. No phones. No technology. Food, we

:00:13.:00:18.

need food. As people in the Philippines wait for help to arrive,

:00:19.:00:21.

we are looking at how the world s reacting to the disaster.

:00:22.:00:29.

First, it's been almost five days since one of the most powerful

:00:30.:00:32.

storms ever recorded swept across the Philippines in south-east Asia.

:00:33.:00:35.

Millions have been affected, and 10,000 people are thought to have

:00:36.:00:40.

died. And whilst a huge appeal has now been launched to try and raise

:00:41.:00:43.

money to help, more bad weather and tough conditions on the ground are

:00:44.:00:47.

making the job really difficult The city of Tacloban was one of the

:00:48.:00:54.

worst hit areas. Houses and schools were flattened by a wall of water

:00:55.:00:57.

which engulfed the coast. Here's a picture of the seaside city before

:00:58.:01:01.

the typhoon. And a picture after. The devastation is clear to see The

:01:02.:01:08.

BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes is in Tacloban where he spoke to some of

:01:09.:01:13.

the children affected. Hello there. Hello. How are you

:01:14.:01:18.

Fine. What are you waiting - what are you doing here? Waiting for

:01:19.:01:24.

rice. Are you hungry? Yes. Yes. Do you have any food? No. No food. When

:01:25.:01:34.

did you eat? Did you eat today? Yes. You ate today? No food. This is the

:01:35.:01:41.

really big issue now here, people lost all their food, their rice was

:01:42.:01:45.

damaged in the storm. It's now the fifth day since the storm. Supplies

:01:46.:01:48.

are running out. You can see the result. There's still a sense that

:01:49.:01:52.

aid is not getting in here. At the airport there are planes coming in.

:01:53.:01:56.

But we don't see any of it here The situation is becoming more and more

:01:57.:02:01.

tense. More and more hunger, people are getting increasingly desperate.

:02:02.:02:08.

What is the world doing now to try to get help to thousands of people,

:02:09.:02:13.

many of them kids, whose lives have been turned upside down by the

:02:14.:02:16.

typhoon? I have been looking into it. The typhoon has left thousands

:02:17.:02:20.

of people without food or shelter and in desperate need of help. The

:02:21.:02:25.

United Nations, which represents 193 countries around the globe, has

:02:26.:02:30.

called on members to raise as much as 190 million from the public. But

:02:31.:02:35.

governments have also pledged to send aid. David Cameron has said the

:02:36.:02:43.

UK will give 10 million and has sent a Navy ship. The journey will take

:02:44.:02:51.

five days. The USA has promised about 12.5 million and is sending a

:02:52.:02:56.

huge aircraft carrier ship from Hong Kong which they think could be there

:02:57.:02:59.

in two or three days. Other countries have promised money,

:03:00.:03:01.

too. This aid is coming to save people's

:03:02.:03:12.

lives by giving them the food, water and shelter they need. Rebuilding

:03:13.:03:15.

their homes, schools and everything else they had before the typhoon

:03:16.:03:22.

will take months or even years. A reminder, if you are upset by

:03:23.:03:25.

anything you have seen in the news we have loads of help and advice on

:03:26.:03:30.

our website. You can also see a gallery showing how aid is getting

:03:31.:03:38.

to people. Next, Jess Ennis-Hill, Nicola Adams

:03:39.:03:40.

and Christine Ohuruogu - just some of the superstars that helped put

:03:41.:03:43.

women's sport in the spotlight during last year's incredible

:03:44.:03:46.

Olympics. But a group of MPs is concerned that it still might not be

:03:47.:03:51.

as easy for girls to get into sport as it is for boys - and there may

:03:52.:03:55.

not be enough female sports stars on TV to inspire girls to play. Today,

:03:56.:04:00.

they've kicked off an investigation to work out what can be done about

:04:01.:04:04.

it. And we've been asking you what you think might help get more girls

:04:05.:04:08.

playing more sport. Class three from a school in Woking

:04:09.:04:12.

reckon that girls would be encouraged to play if they saw more

:04:13.:04:15.

girls playing sport on TV and in the news.

:04:16.:04:22.

James said: Thank you for all the comments. We

:04:23.:04:26.

will be talking about this in our later bulletin with a former England

:04:27.:04:30.

netball international, Tracey Neville. Join us for that.

:04:31.:04:39.

Last up - how about this for the ultimate bird's eye view! Scientists

:04:40.:04:41.

in Exeter have been monitoring gannets using tiny cameras which

:04:42.:04:44.

they tape to the seabirds' heads. And it gives an amazing insight into

:04:45.:04:49.

how they live. Britain is home to 60% of the world's population and

:04:50.:04:52.

the organisation says more needs to be done to protect them. That's it

:04:53.:05:00.

for now. I will be back here at 6.50pm. See you then. Bye.
