Many hundreds are now believed to have died in the super typhoon which

:00:00.:00:12.

swept through the Philippines. The Red Cross says it's investigating

:00:13.:00:16.

reports that in one city alone 1,000 people have died.

:00:17.:00:20.

As an international agreement to limit Iran's nuclear programme looks

:00:21.:00:25.

unlikely this weekend, the country's Foreign Minister talks exclusively

:00:26.:00:30.

to the BBC. We have a window of opportunity. This window of

:00:31.:00:36.

opportunity needs to be used in order to change this situation, in

:00:37.:00:42.

order to resolve this issue. And the 900 million deal giving BT Sport

:00:43.:00:47.

exclusive UK rights to Champions League football.

:00:48.:01:04.

Good evening. Hundreds of people are feared dead in the Philippines,

:01:05.:01:10.

after Typhoon Haiyan swept through on Friday, devastating towns and

:01:11.:01:16.

cities. The Red Cross says it now believes 1,000 people have been

:01:17.:01:20.

killed in one city alone. Gusts from the typhoon reached 170mph. The

:01:21.:01:23.

military is mounting a huge rescue effort, but many roads are unusable

:01:24.:01:26.

and remote communities are still cut off. Our correspondent Jon Donnison

:01:27.:01:35.

reports. This is what's left after one of the

:01:36.:01:40.

most powerful storms in history. A trail of devastation across much of

:01:41.:01:47.

the central Philippines. This coastal town is among the worst hit.

:01:48.:01:54.

Many here are grieving. Eight people are thought to have

:01:55.:01:58.

died as they sought shelter in this chapel, when the roof collapsed.

:01:59.:02:07.

TRANSLATION: At 4.00 am the wind was strong and getting stronger. The

:02:08.:02:11.

roof was torn dawn and water kept -- down and water kept rising, that's

:02:12.:02:15.

why we climbed on the top of the roof. As the search for bodies

:02:16.:02:19.

continues the death toll could rise steeply. It's really horrific. It's

:02:20.:02:24.

a great human tragedy. There's no power, there's no light. By the time

:02:25.:02:30.

the sun sets it's dark and you are going to have to make your way to

:02:31.:02:37.

where you can find some shelter. Large areas remain under water. On

:02:38.:02:42.

one island people are doing their best to find their way home. Many

:02:43.:02:50.

are stranded and desperate. TRANSLATION: What will I do now my

:02:51.:02:54.

house is destroyed? I didn't anticipate the winds to be that

:02:55.:02:58.

strong. Aid agencies warning tens, if not hundreds of thousands of

:02:59.:03:04.

people, may have lost their homes. The operation is now beginning to

:03:05.:03:07.

get aid into the worst affected areas but they're pretty much cut

:03:08.:03:11.

off. The only planes allowed there are these huge military aircraft. In

:03:12.:03:17.

the capital Manila people are struggling to get news of loved ones

:03:18.:03:23.

far away. Janet is a policewoman. Her two teenager daughters are,

:03:24.:03:33.

she's had no word of them. This disaster-prone country is testing

:03:34.:03:40.

people's faith, old and young. And typhoon Haiyan hasn't finished

:03:41.:03:53.

yet. It could hit Vietnam on Sunday. It's looking unlikely that an

:03:54.:03:56.

international agreement to limit Iran's nuclear program will be

:03:57.:03:58.

reached this weekend. Iran's chief nuclear negotiator told the BBC a

:03:59.:04:02.

deal will eventually be made but conceded that he was more cautious

:04:03.:04:05.

than before the talks in Geneva began. Mohammad Javad Zarif also

:04:06.:04:08.

warned the window of opportunity for talks would not stay open

:04:09.:04:14.

indefinitely. Our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, began by

:04:15.:04:17.

asking him how the talks had gone so far. Behind the security screen

:04:18.:04:23.

there was another long hard day of talks and waiting. Getting a deal

:04:24.:04:28.

that has eleaded generations of negotiators in the last decade was

:04:29.:04:36.

never going to be easy. Mohammed Zarif is a leading figure in the new

:04:37.:04:42.

Government in Tehran. He was educated in America, is more open,

:04:43.:04:46.

but everything he told the BBC shows he is determined to assert what Iran

:04:47.:04:53.

sees as its rights. The real hard work starts during this meeting. We

:04:54.:04:59.

are all optimistic. We still are, probably more cautious now than a

:05:00.:05:01.

couple of days ago. Are you doing all of this because of the impact,

:05:02.:05:06.

the harsh impact, of sanctions on Iran? Not really. Let's be frank,

:05:07.:05:12.

let's see what sanctions have produced. Sanctions have produced

:05:13.:05:20.

19,000 centifuges. And some difficulty for Iranian people. I

:05:21.:05:24.

don't think anybody can claim victory for that. Pressure works?

:05:25.:05:29.

No, the pressure doesn't work. In fact, the Iranian people choose a

:05:30.:05:33.

Government that is treating this issue exactly as we treated it when

:05:34.:05:36.

we were negotiating eight years ago. So we have a different group of

:05:37.:05:42.

people in charge of the administration of Iranian

:05:43.:05:44.

negotiations. It's not because of sanctions. If sanctions were to work

:05:45.:05:49.

Iran should have stopped its enrichment programme, it didn't. Are

:05:50.:05:52.

you surprised a lot of people don't trust Iran bearing in mind the

:05:53.:05:56.

dysfunctional history you have had with the United States and Iran

:05:57.:06:00.

started its nuclear programme in secret? No, because I believe the

:06:01.:06:03.

dysfunctional history that we have with the United States started with

:06:04.:06:08.

the United States overthrowing a democratically elected Government in

:06:09.:06:12.

Iran and supporting a dictator for the next decades. There is a lot of

:06:13.:06:15.

history, you share history. We share a lot of history. We share a lot of

:06:16.:06:19.

bad blood and a lack of confidence which we need to overcome. But as

:06:20.:06:23.

far as the nuclear programme is concerned, Iran did not choose to

:06:24.:06:27.

conceal its programme. The United States and western countries choose

:06:28.:06:31.

to prevent Iran from having access to what was rightfully Iran's. They

:06:32.:06:35.

pushed Iran into being discreet about its nuclear programme. What is

:06:36.:06:39.

your message for President Obama? We have a window of opportunity. This

:06:40.:06:45.

window of opportunity needs to be used in order to change this

:06:46.:06:50.

situation, in order to resolve this issue. This issue can be resolved.

:06:51.:06:55.

More hard days and nights of talks lie ahead. But considering the fears

:06:56.:06:59.

at the start of the year that the Iran nuclear standoff might lead to

:07:00.:07:04.

war, they've already made serious progress.

:07:05.:07:13.

BT Sport is paying almost ?900 million to broadcast Champions

:07:14.:07:15.

League football exclusively for three years from 2015. The

:07:16.:07:21.

record-breaking deal is for the rights to 350 matches per season,

:07:22.:07:24.

including the Europa League. It's worth double the present contract

:07:25.:07:27.

with ITV and Sky. Our chief sports correspondent Dan Roan has more.

:07:28.:07:34.

It could just be the biggest result of the football season. BT Sport on

:07:35.:07:38.

air this morning with their own breaking news. This is the first

:07:39.:07:42.

time a single UK broadcaster has won exclusive rights to all matches from

:07:43.:07:46.

both tournaments. It's amazing. It is when you consider that BT Sport

:07:47.:07:50.

only went live three months ago having splashed out on Premier

:07:51.:07:54.

League rights. Today they announced they had now spent a further 900

:07:55.:07:59.

million on the Champions League and Europa League meaning they can

:08:00.:08:04.

exclusively show 350 games a season from 2015. BT are paying more than

:08:05.:08:09.

double the amount ITV and Sky pay for the krnt rights. Is it --

:08:10.:08:13.

current rights. Is it worth it? It's a lot of money, no question about

:08:14.:08:16.

that, we feel it's a good investment for the business. We are in the

:08:17.:08:20.

process of really building our broadband business and our superfast

:08:21.:08:23.

broadband business and sport is sa key way of doing that. Fans have

:08:24.:08:28.

grown used to watching live coverage of Champions League matches from

:08:29.:08:33.

grounds like Old Trafford on both Sky and ITV. Now all that will

:08:34.:08:38.

change as a result of deal that's shifted the goal posts in sports

:08:39.:08:42.

broadcasting and sent shockwaves throughout the game. BT say they'll

:08:43.:08:46.

make it more affordable for viewers and will show British clubs

:08:47.:08:50.

free-to-air once a season but some fans aren't happy. You have to have

:08:51.:08:54.

that facility otherwise you are not able to watch it. Does that bother

:08:55.:08:57.

you? Yeah. It's good news for the clubs in Europe because they'll be

:08:58.:09:00.

able to have more money to buy bigger and better players because

:09:01.:09:04.

they've more money coming in to the club itself. It's OK for them but

:09:05.:09:09.

not good for fans. Chelsea's Champions League triumph in 2012 was

:09:10.:09:14.

shown live by ITV and Sky. What does today's stunning victory by their

:09:15.:09:18.

rival mean for them? ITV, it's serious. Sky, well they've more

:09:19.:09:21.

sport than anybody else. They'll say, well, if BT can make it work,

:09:22.:09:26.

at least they've made them pay a lot of money but Sky will be

:09:27.:09:29.

disappointed. This afternoon BT's viewers had to make do with Celtic's

:09:30.:09:34.

match away at Ross County. Soon, however, they'll have the world's

:09:35.:09:37.

biggest club competition to look forward to.

:09:38.:09:48.

For the first time ever, the Olympic torch has been taken on a space

:09:49.:09:52.

walk. Live pictures of the two Russian Cosmonauts - 260 miles above

:09:53.:09:55.

the Earth - were beamed across the world. The Olympic torch has been

:09:56.:09:59.

carried into space twice before - in 1996 and 2000 - but it's never left

:10:00.:10:03.

a spaceship. The space-walk is being used by Russia to promote the Sochi

:10:04.:10:05.

Winter Olympics in February. Now all the sport.

:10:06.:10:16.

We'll start with Rugby Union and almost a perfect day for the Home

:10:17.:10:19.

Nations with wins for England, Scotland and Ireland but Wales lost

:10:20.:10:23.

to South Africa. The match marked Warren Gatland's return as Head

:10:24.:10:26.

Coach after leading the Lions to victory over the summer. It's the

:10:27.:10:28.

time of year when you put the heating on, particularly when you

:10:29.:10:33.

have a special guest. The Welsh way of warming up is to play the second

:10:34.:10:39.

best team. Wales chipped away. They were still in touch deep into the

:10:40.:10:44.

second half. South Africa benefitted from the bounce and brilliance. A

:10:45.:10:51.

try ensured Warren Gatland's return as coach ended in defeat. Despite

:10:52.:10:56.

having beaten Australia Twickenham wanted something more rousing from

:10:57.:11:04.

England. Take Twelvetrees. That was England's second try. They had a

:11:05.:11:06.

third before the break. Yet it proved easier to spot a celebrity

:11:07.:11:10.

than an English point for most of a lacklustre second half. Only when

:11:11.:11:14.

Ben Morgan broke through did they recover a sense of urgency.

:11:15.:11:22.

Ireland's new coach has begun with a win. They secured victory over

:11:23.:11:26.

Samoa. Scotland led Japan by one point at one stage at Murrayfield.

:11:27.:11:30.

They ran in four unanswered tries from there. The autumn won't be

:11:31.:11:39.

getting any easier for them. There were 19 goals in the Six

:11:40.:11:42.

Premier league matches today. You can see them all later tonight on

:11:43.:11:47.

Match of the Day on BBC1 but if you want to know the results here they

:11:48.:11:52.

come. Jose Mourinho was heading for his first home league defeat in 66

:11:53.:11:56.

matches, until a contentious Eden Hazard penalty deep into injury time

:11:57.:11:59.

earned the Blues a 2-2 draw against West Bromiwch Albion. Aston Villa

:12:00.:12:02.

beat Cardiff. Liverpool are up to second after a 4-0 thumping of

:12:03.:12:04.

Fulham. Norwich are out of the relegation zone after beating West

:12:05.:12:07.

Ham. Southampton won 4-1 against Hull to go third.

:12:08.:12:13.

Celtic lead the Scottish Premiership by five points.

:12:14.:12:20.

England are into the Rugby League World Cup quarter-finals. They were

:12:21.:12:28.

drawing 6-6 at half-time against Fiji in Hull. But they ran away with

:12:29.:12:33.

it after the break. They'll play France or Samoa in the last eight.

:12:34.:12:38.

Roger Federer is into the semifinals of the World Tour Finals in London.

:12:39.:12:43.

He will play Rafael Nadal tomorrow. That's the sport. Thank you very

:12:44.:12:45.

much. That's all for now. Have a good night, bye.

:12:46.:12:57.

Good evening. Already it's turning pretty chilly out there and tonight

:12:58.:13:01.
