:01:45. > :01:53.Hello. A very good evening to you. It is feared many thousands have
:01:54. > :01:58.been killed by the powerful powerfulty feen which -- powerful
:01:59. > :02:03.typhoon which ripped through the Philippines. On a neighbouring
:02:04. > :02:09.island residents are burying bodies in mass graves. Thousands of troops
:02:10. > :02:13.have been deployed. Military cargo planes are flying in supplies.
:02:14. > :02:19.Britain has pledged ?6 million in aid. Typhoon Haiyan has affected 4.5
:02:20. > :02:24.million people, according to the authorities in the capital, Manila.
:02:25. > :02:32.On the island of Samar, over 2,000 people are still missing. We'll have
:02:33. > :02:36.a report from there in a moment. First from Tacloban, where an
:02:37. > :02:42.estimated 80% of the buildings have been destroyed and there's no clean
:02:43. > :02:46.water nor electricity. Outside Tacloban airport, hundreds are
:02:47. > :02:51.queueing in the rain, in the hope of boarding a flight out of hell. Every
:02:52. > :02:55.few minutes more are coming in. There's no longer an airport for
:02:56. > :02:59.them to leave from. As soon as you step on to the ground
:03:00. > :03:02.here, the magnitude of the destruction hits you full in the
:03:03. > :03:07.face. Everything is gone.
:03:08. > :03:11.Half a mile further up the road, we came across this sea side
:03:12. > :03:15.neighbourhood. Until Friday, home to 10,000 people.
:03:16. > :03:21.It wasn't the wind that did all this, it was water. It is as if it's
:03:22. > :03:28.been destroyed by a tsunami. In many ways it has. An enormous four-metre
:03:29. > :03:31.storm surge swept into the coast and crushed these buildings, this
:03:32. > :03:36.neighbourhood flattened. What you cannot see in the pictures is the
:03:37. > :03:42.smell - there is a sweet stench of death in the whole of this
:03:43. > :03:47.neighbourhood. This woman's house survived. But the
:03:48. > :03:51.water came smashing through the second-floor windows. With her
:03:52. > :03:59.daughter in her arms, she swam for her life. Did it go into your mouth?
:04:00. > :04:06.Yes, Sir. It got into my mouth. And then we just escaped. We wanted to
:04:07. > :04:14.survive. We think that it was just - it was our last... As we drive on we
:04:15. > :04:18.see more and more bodies. The city's main shopping mall has been
:04:19. > :04:21.completely looted. The police have disappeared.
:04:22. > :04:27.Everywhere we go, the plea is the same - please help us.
:04:28. > :04:30.No-one can help us. No-one can but the Government. No
:04:31. > :04:37.food. It is like an animal.
:04:38. > :04:43.Outside the cathedral is one of many makeshift morgues. The stench here
:04:44. > :04:54.is overwhelming. This young man has just found his
:04:55. > :05:00.father. Near by a priest is offering prayers
:05:01. > :05:08.for the dead. How many dead, no-one yet knows.
:05:09. > :05:15.The Philippines are used to typhoons they've had more than 20 this year,
:05:16. > :05:19.but none of this strength. The task is massive, with the
:05:20. > :05:24.devastation widespread. This is the island of Samar, where
:05:25. > :05:34.local officials say hundreds are dead and thousands more missing.
:05:35. > :05:38.We made a mass grave of 57 people who died. That will increase because
:05:39. > :05:42.we've not talked to the other towns as there's no means of
:05:43. > :05:47.transportation. Video has emerged of people trying to escape the
:05:48. > :05:54.fast-rising water soon after the typhoon struck.
:05:55. > :06:00.Only two days later is its full force really becoming clear.
:06:01. > :06:06.The relief operation has now begun. The focus right now, for everybody,
:06:07. > :06:12.especially in the service, is to make sure that we bring the help
:06:13. > :06:16.that we can give to our countrymen. Once we put all the infrastructures
:06:17. > :06:22.and the mechanisms in place, then I think we will be able to get them
:06:23. > :06:26.back on their feet. At this military airfield n the
:06:27. > :06:30.capital Manila, the focus is on getting aid down to the worst
:06:31. > :06:34.affected areas. They are loading up water here to be flown down to
:06:35. > :06:38.Tacloban. Now tomorrow the Americans will arrive to provide much-needed
:06:39. > :06:44.backup. And it is not over yet. Typhoon
:06:45. > :06:50.Haiyan is fast approaching Vietnam. People there are bracing themselves.
:06:51. > :06:58.Well, you can find out much more about the typhoon, including
:06:59. > :07:07.satellite imagery and the path of the storm as it draws closer to
:07:08. > :07:10.Vietnam, on our website. Two minutes' silences have taken
:07:11. > :07:15.place across the UK to honour fallen members of the Armed Forces. In
:07:16. > :07:26.London, the Queen lay the first wreath at the Cenotaph before a

:07:32. > :07:33.when the hub bub of other days is stilled and we pause, we reflect and
:07:34. > :07:50.we remember. 1.75 million people died in the
:07:51. > :07:55.world wars. Thousands more have lost their lives in more recent
:07:56. > :07:57.conflicts. At 11am t Queen led the national two-minute silence in their
:07:58. > :08:57.remembrance. THE LAST POST
:08:58. > :09:00.In Whitehall, the Queen placed her wreath at the Cenotaph, in memory of
:09:01. > :09:05.those who have been killed in what is now nearly a century of conflict,
:09:06. > :09:08.from the devastating losses of the First World War to the young
:09:09. > :09:11.servicemen and women who have died in Afghanistan. Prince Harry, who
:09:12. > :09:16.last year was serving in Afghanistan, laid a wreath on behalf
:09:17. > :09:21.of his father, the Prince of Wales, who is on a visit to India. And
:09:22. > :09:26.Prince William, no longer an operational members of the RAF, but
:09:27. > :09:30.in uniform, laid a wreath, watched by his wife, from a balcony of the
:09:31. > :09:34.Foreign Office. Then it with us the turn of the
:09:35. > :09:38.veterans. There were more than 10,000 of them on the march past
:09:39. > :09:43.this year. Men and women who have known conflict and its terrible cost
:09:44. > :09:48.in lives lost and lives changed forever. Parading again, not to
:09:49. > :09:56.glorify war, but to pay respects to comrades who never came home.
:09:57. > :10:04.Well a remembrance service was held at Helmand province in memory of the
:10:05. > :10:10.446 servicemen and women killed in the 12 years of an flict in
:10:11. > :10:20.Afghanistan. -- conflict in Afghanistan.
:10:21. > :10:26.The last post at the last remembrance in Helmand for these
:10:27. > :10:31.British soldiers. Next year, there will be just a few. Still reminders
:10:32. > :10:34.that the fighting is not over. This, a rare moment of silence and time to
:10:35. > :10:52.reflect. 446 British soldiers have lost their
:10:53. > :10:56.lives in Afghanistan. The most recent Warrant Officer Ian
:10:57. > :11:01.Fisher, a husband and father, killed just a few days ago in a suicide
:11:02. > :11:05.attack. It is very raw for lots of people.
:11:06. > :11:11.In a way we have all the emotions going on. Some of his closest
:11:12. > :11:14.friends will be stood here, remembering him and everybody else
:11:15. > :11:17.who has died. That reading out of those who died, a poignant moment
:11:18. > :11:21.for everybody. The Duke of York and the Defence
:11:22. > :11:25.Secretary had flown out to Helmand to pay their respects too. Knowing
:11:26. > :11:30.this mission is now drawing to a close.
:11:31. > :11:34.It is a poignant moment towards the end of what has been a long and
:11:35. > :11:40.difficult campaign, marking, as well as the broader sacrifice of many
:11:41. > :11:44.generations of Britain's armed force, the 446 people who have given
:11:45. > :11:49.their lives in this campaign. This time next year it will almost be
:11:50. > :11:54.over. The plaques on this memorial are a reminder of the sacrifices
:11:55. > :11:57.made along the way, but soon they too will be removed and returned
:11:58. > :12:03.back to the UK. It will leave the question, what
:12:04. > :12:09.will be the lasting legacy here in Helmand?
:12:10. > :12:16.Washington has sought to reassure Israel as well as America's Gulf
:12:17. > :12:21.allies that the US was neither blind nor stupid in its nuclear talks with
:12:22. > :12:24.Iran. The comments come after discussions in Geneva over tighter
:12:25. > :12:27.controls on Iran's nuclear programme, that ended without
:12:28. > :12:33.agreement. Britain said that a potential agreement is still on the
:12:34. > :12:38.table, and can be done. Negotiations are for mid--ably difficult. They
:12:39. > :12:44.have disregarded the resolutions of the UN Security Council and
:12:45. > :12:48.disregarded the International Atomic Energy Agency. So, there's bound to
:12:49. > :12:54.be a terrible lack of trust and that means that we have to go over every

:13:23. > :13:27.It sees this as its chance to show off a shining new Sri Lanka on the

:13:50. > :13:53.independence. After a massive Sri Lankan Army
:13:54. > :13:59.offensive they were defeated four years ago. Both sides have been

:14:14. > :14:16.A commission said perhaps 40,000 people were closed in the closing

:14:31. > :14:35.already said he is boycotting it because of human rights abuses.
:14:36. > :14:40.Today, the Indian Prime Minister, seen here with the Sri Lankan
:14:41. > :14:46.President, has said he too will stay away from the summit.
:14:47. > :14:52.TRANSLATION: It is not a defeat for us. We invited Mr Singh, we would

:15:03. > :15:06.the diplomatic mode is getting more uncomfortable for the Sri Lankan
:15:07. > :15:11.Government. It had seen the hosting as a prize - an accolade, with India
:15:12. > :15:16.and Canada staying away, it is getting more and more difficult for
:15:17. > :15:20.the authorities here to dismiss it ass unimportant and the spot -- as
:15:21. > :15:24.unimportant and the spotlight is fixed on this country's human rights
:15:25. > :15:27.record. Britain has confirmed that David Cameron will lead its

:15:54. > :15:57.an insurgent should not be shown clemency due to being in the Armed

:16:11. > :16:14.Those who are in authority over the Armed Forces should not request any

:18:00. > :18:03.arena. Rafael Nadal has not won the A TP Tour Finals before, but he has
:18:04. > :18:08.the better record over Roger Federer. So, it proved, as the
:18:09. > :18:13.Spaniard clinched the first 7-5. This was Federer's 12th consecutive
