this Thursday. On the way. Manchester City move a big step

closer to becoming champions. Scientists show how the universe

evolved, with an amazing computer animation.

Six months ago today, one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded

tore into the Philippines in south'east Asia. Typhoon Haiyan left

some parts of islands completely flattened. More than 6,000 people

died. Millions were left homeless. Leah's been looking into how the

country's coping half a year on. On eighth November 2013, Typhoon

Haiyan hit the Philippines. Powerful winds, some as strong as 200 miles

an hour, ripped through the islands. The storm left parts of country

devastated. I travelled to the island of Cebu in November and saw

for myself just how much damage had been done. This is what's left of

the house they had. There's nothing left but wood. Countries around the

world were quick to step in, sending aid to the millions of people

affected. The UK even sent a warship, HMS Illustrious, to deliver

supplies. Local people and aid agencies began the clean'up

operation. But it was, and continues to be, a huge task. Today, life is

beginning to get back to normal. The streets are busy with people and

cars, and some shops are open. But many people are still living in

tents or shacks. We're looking now at moving them into longer term

housing, durable housing. We're rebuilding schools that were blown

over. We're not there yet but people have shelter, people have food,

people have clean water. Children in the Philippines are extraordinarily

resilient. They're getting on with their lives. They're building back

their lives and they just want to get on with it. They want to move

past a really terrible event and hang out with their friends and play

with their friends, do like any kid likes to do. But many people did

lose everything, not just their homes but their jobs too. The next

step is helping them get back into work so they and their families can

live without relying on aid. And don't forget you can still watch

Leah's special reports from the Philippines when she travelled there

shortly after the typhoon hit. You'll also find a picture gallery

of the children she met while she was out there. Manchester City have

one hand on the Premier League trophy, now, following last night's

4-0 win over Aston Villa. Edin Dzeko scored twice but the pick of the

goals was this solo effort from Yaya Toure. It was Manchester City's

100th league goal of the season. They are now two points clear of

Liverpool with one game to play and have a better goal difference. Now

we can talk about the title. Before this game I was just thinking we

must win the last game at home. We are not thinking of drawing. We are

just thinking on trying to play. If we play in that way maybe we can win

the title. At the other end of the table, Sunderland have made an

incredible escape from relegation with a 2-0 win against West Brom.

First-half goals from Jack Colback and Fabio Borini make it four wins

in a row. Less than a month ago Sunderland were bottom of the table

and seven points from safety. Manager Gus Poyet says now he can

start believing in miracles. It was an incredible escape. It was a

miracle, it was something unique, it was something special. The

connection on the pitch between the players in the last few games in an

incredible way. Connection with the fans every single game in an

incredible way. There's only one result - win football games. ??

WHITE Next, a team of international scientists has recreated the birth

and growth of the Universe in their lab. The computer model shows how

the first galaxies formed around clumps of a mysterious, invisible

substance called dark matter, squeezing 14 billion years into just

two-and-a-half minutes. It's the first time the Universe has been

modelled so extensively and in such great quality. And now some news of

a change of name for the home of this guy. The giant dinosaur that

has pride of place in the Central hall of London's Natural History

Museum. The Hall will be renamed the Hintze Hall after the couple who

have given a huge ?5 million donation. It's the largest single

donation in the museum's history, and will be used to maintain

collections and for scientific research behind the scenes. I will

see you in half an hour. Bye bye.
