:01:27. > :01:47.Djokovic. Good evening from Manila where the
:01:48. > :01:52.Philippines government is struggling to cope with what many believe is
:01:53. > :01:56.the most powerful typhoon effort to make land. In the south-east of the
:01:57. > :02:02.country, whole cities are destroyed. The head of the Red Cross has
:02:03. > :02:06.likened the situation to absolute bedlam. With the international aid
:02:07. > :02:10.effort only just getting under way, there are increasing signs that
:02:11. > :02:14.people in the south-east of the country are becoming more desperate,
:02:15. > :02:21.breaking into shops to look for food and water. Our first report tonight
:02:22. > :02:25.is from our correspondent who spent the day with survivors at Tacloban
:02:26. > :02:32.airport and it contains some disturbing images. People here are
:02:33. > :02:41.grieving, homeless and hungry. We are so very hungry and thirsty. You
:02:42. > :02:52.have water or food there, maybe you can give us. Next to the runway, a
:02:53. > :02:56.makeshift hospital. Some patients being treated without anaesthetics
:02:57. > :03:05.to numb the pain. This woman has just given birth, a baby girl, born
:03:06. > :03:13.into a world upturned. And alongside them, another young woman is also in
:03:14. > :03:21.labour. People waiting here are desperate to get out on any plane
:03:22. > :03:26.they can find. This is my dad's only chance for life. I said we have to
:03:27. > :03:31.leave tomorrow morning, today, or we will go somewhere else but he needs
:03:32. > :03:37.dialysis. He is in a critical condition. If the world is out
:03:38. > :03:42.there, send help. These people need it. Outside the airport, hundreds
:03:43. > :03:47.have been waiting, desperate for help. They need shelter and in many
:03:48. > :03:56.cases they have been separated from their family as well. I need help.
:03:57. > :04:01.Maugham, please help me, I am still here in Tacloban and I am still
:04:02. > :04:05.alive. Today there was some hope at last with the arrival of the
:04:06. > :04:14.American military, helping to organise the response. It is a whole
:04:15. > :04:21.government approach. International relief organisations are here. The
:04:22. > :04:27.streets are busy as people search for their loved ones, still missing.
:04:28. > :04:33.This is the main street through the centre of Tacloban and the
:04:34. > :04:38.destruction is almost complete, and there is the stench of death in the
:04:39. > :04:44.air. We have seen scores of bodies in the few kilometres we have driven
:04:45. > :04:49.from the airport, and somebody's bundled up in tarpaulin behind us.
:04:50. > :04:55.The country's interior minister is hands-on, directing traffic, but so
:04:56. > :05:01.far there is little sign the government is managing to get a
:05:02. > :05:06.doubt to the many in need. So people are doing whatever they can to help
:05:07. > :05:11.themselves. This used to be a supermarket. Those who have nothing
:05:12. > :05:16.are looking for anything they can find. But unless more relief comes
:05:17. > :05:26.quickly, the little food that there is will run out soon.
:05:27. > :05:32.As we have heard, Tacloban is a city in name only. From hospitals to
:05:33. > :05:36.shops, nothing is functioning. With the authorities largely absent,
:05:37. > :05:43.families are having to bury their own dead. Our correspondent reports
:05:44. > :05:48.now, and I should say this also contains some distressing images.
:05:49. > :05:53.The only way to get someone buried in Tacloban now is to do it
:05:54. > :05:59.yourself. Joseph and his friends have come to collect the body of his
:06:00. > :06:14.sister. For three days, it lay uncovered in the street. Now, with a
:06:15. > :06:20.home-made coffin, they must carry it on foot to the burial ground. In the
:06:21. > :06:27.street where Joseph's sister lived, this man is trying to make a list of
:06:28. > :06:38.all of his neighbours who are dead. All the children? All the children
:06:39. > :06:43.in the car? Yes. A man was found in that house over there. It is still
:06:44. > :06:48.almost impossible to know how many people have died in this
:06:49. > :06:54.devastation. To give you an idea, we have been told that in this one
:06:55. > :06:58.street here, 18 people died, just in this stretch of road in one
:06:59. > :07:05.neighbourhood. Many of the bodies are still lying around in the houses
:07:06. > :07:09.here, and they are starting to beautify. In the next street over,
:07:10. > :07:16.Mildred and her family survived by clinging to the roof of their house.
:07:17. > :07:20.For these survivors the biggest fear is hunger now. Outside they are
:07:21. > :07:28.trying to dry out their waterlogged rice but nobody knows for sure if it
:07:29. > :07:35.is still edible. Here there is the same cry - where is the government
:07:36. > :07:47.help? Many people have died. We need food, water. We have rice. That is
:07:48. > :07:54.the most important thing we need. And all the dead bodies must be
:07:55. > :07:59.buried. Down by the sea, they are digging a grave for the mother of
:08:00. > :08:11.these three young men. Suddenly one of her sons is overcome by grief and
:08:12. > :08:17.frustration. His mother's body is stuck underneath the fallen coconut
:08:18. > :08:28.tree and they cannot get it out. I asked her husband how they are
:08:29. > :08:47.managing. I could not sleep. She was a very good mother. I am very
:08:48. > :08:55.hopeless. Everything is gone. A short distance away, they have dug a
:08:56. > :08:59.much bigger hole, a mass grave. All afternoon and the grim procession
:09:00. > :09:04.continues. We counted at least 30 bodies going on here. How many more
:09:05. > :09:14.informal graves are being dog we don't know, except that it is many.
:09:15. > :09:17.The Philippines is no stranger to violent weather and even though
:09:18. > :09:23.there was plenty of warning about this particular weather system, the
:09:24. > :09:29.sheer power of Typhoon Haiyan took everybody by surprise, including the
:09:30. > :09:35.experts. Our correspondent has been looking at why it has been so
:09:36. > :09:39.devastating. It takes a view from the air to see the extraordinary
:09:40. > :09:44.scale of devastation. Ferocious winds combined with massive walls of
:09:45. > :09:49.water to lay waste to whole communities. This is the result of
:09:50. > :09:53.the weather at its most extreme. For many people there were simply
:09:54. > :10:02.nowhere to hide. The survivors are left to appeal to aid from the
:10:03. > :10:06.outside world. The typhoon had been forecast but proved overwhelming. It
:10:07. > :10:10.reached its peak intensity at the point that it made landfall and on
:10:11. > :10:16.that basis it might be one of the strongest typhoon is to ever make
:10:17. > :10:20.landfall. Let's use of virtual reality studio to piece together how
:10:21. > :10:25.this catastrophic weather unfolded. The people of the Philippines are
:10:26. > :10:29.used to the threat of typhoons, they have had more than 20 this year
:10:30. > :10:36.alone but nowhere near the scale of this one. It began with a loose
:10:37. > :10:42.cluster of thunderclouds, nothing unusual, but these forms together to
:10:43. > :10:49.form a single weather system which started rotating, pulling air into
:10:50. > :10:55.its centre. The storm stretched for over 300 miles. By now it was a
:10:56. > :10:59.typhoon and the heat kept adding to its strength. Higher temperatures
:11:00. > :11:05.mean more energy, so in the eye of the storm and around it's the winds
:11:06. > :11:12.kept accelerating. Intense low pressure lifted the sea surface to
:11:13. > :11:17.create a storm surge. To anyone in its path, only the strongest shelter
:11:18. > :11:22.would help them survive. Compare this town before the disaster with
:11:23. > :11:27.the same view afterwards. Almost every house has had its roof ripped
:11:28. > :11:38.off. Here is Tacloban seen last year, it met a similar fate. The
:11:39. > :11:43.devastation is staggering. Today, an official from the Philippines was at
:11:44. > :11:50.a climate conference and called for action on global warming. We can fix
:11:51. > :11:56.this, we can stop this madness right now. It was an emotional moment. The
:11:57. > :12:01.fact is that no single weather event can be blamed on climate change, but
:12:02. > :12:09.scientists do say that warmer oceans could make the most vicious storms
:12:10. > :12:15.more likely. I will be back a little later, but now it is back to the
:12:16. > :12:21.studio. Here, the NHS in England is being
:12:22. > :12:25.warned that closing any more walk-in centres where patients can be seen
:12:26. > :12:32.without an appointment could result in more people turning up at A
:12:33. > :12:42.Monitor says that 53 centres have been shot in the past few years. --
:12:43. > :12:47.have been closed. The NHS in England faces tough financial challenges so
:12:48. > :12:53.where is it best to spend its money? On the convenience of a walk-in
:12:54. > :12:59.centre, or in local GP practices? Most walk-in centres offer longer
:13:00. > :13:04.hours seven days a week, opening under the last Labour Government,
:13:05. > :13:08.allowing patients to turn up and see a GP. Some people use them after
:13:09. > :13:15.failing to get an appointment, but in many areas the NHS has decided it
:13:16. > :13:20.is not value for money. We have been told that they are too expensive so
:13:21. > :13:24.GPs are paid for people who are registered with their GP practice,
:13:25. > :13:28.and then we are told that when those people choose to go to a walk-in
:13:29. > :13:35.centre and that centre is paid again, there is a double payment.
:13:36. > :13:42.Walk-in centres were opened to make it easier for people to see a GP.
:13:43. > :13:48.Over a decade, the NHS created 238 of them in England. In recent years
:13:49. > :14:08.almost one in four of them have closed. This Centre in
:14:09. > :14:13.Portsmouth... They do a very good job and you have only got to see how
:14:14. > :14:18.packed they are, and if this is part I'm sure other walk-in centres must
:14:19. > :14:23.be just as busy as well. The future of many centres is just as uncertain
:14:24. > :14:30.with contracts due to run out in the next couple of years. This research
:14:31. > :14:35.suggests patients will turn to A, something the Government is anxious
:14:36. > :14:40.to avoid. Recently the Prime Minister said GP surgeries need to
:14:41. > :14:45.open longer. Nine pilot projects will offer the same hours as walk-in
:14:46. > :14:51.centres. Doctors say this could be a better way to spend money. It has
:14:52. > :14:54.been appropriate to close some walk-in centres where there was no
:14:55. > :15:00.demonstrable need for those services, and where the local
:15:01. > :15:06.practices and other health services could provide the necessary services
:15:07. > :15:15.for patients. Labour says the closure is an act of vandalism that
:15:16. > :15:20.could add to the pressure is on A The top story: More than 10,000
:15:21. > :15:24.people are believed dead and millions have been left homeless by
:15:25. > :15:28.Typhoon Haiyan. The President of the Philippines has declared a state of
:15:29. > :15:31.national emergency. Coming up: From off-duty
:15:32. > :15:36.firefighters to schoolchildren, we talk to some of the thousands of
:15:37. > :15:41.people who volunteered for the relief.
:15:42. > :15:47.Coming up in Sportsday: The Formula One seat-swapping has started. Massa
:15:48. > :15:49.is the latest driver to switch teams next season from Ferrari to
:15:50. > :16:02.Williams. Acts of remembrance have taken place
:16:03. > :16:06.around the country to mark the anniversary of the World War One
:16:07. > :16:10.armistice, with two-minute silences at military bases, town halls,
:16:11. > :16:15.churches, schools and at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire.
:16:16. > :16:24.It has also been marked in Belgium where many of World War One's most
:16:25. > :16:29.deadliest of battles were fought. In a moment, we will hear from Nicholas
:16:30. > :16:35.Witchell, who is there. First, this report from Robert Hall.
:16:36. > :16:49.It was the moment when men looked at one another in disbelief. The moment
:16:50. > :16:58.the thunder of guns faded. The moment when the slaughter stopped.
:16:59. > :17:01.At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we paused on a busy
:17:02. > :17:33.Monday and shared the silence. Dorothy Ellis is the last direct
:17:34. > :17:38.link to what became known as the Great War. Wilfred, the man she
:17:39. > :17:42.married, was left for dead on the Western Front, but he survived.
:17:43. > :17:48.Today, on her 93rd birthday, Dorothy laid her wreath in his memory at the
:17:49. > :17:55.National Arboretum. I have done something today that I feel was
:17:56. > :18:03.worthwhile. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it in the way I would
:18:04. > :18:07.have wanted to. I couldn't stand up. I did the best I could.
:18:08. > :18:19.In the classrooms of St Aidan's School in Harrogate, amid the hushed
:18:20. > :18:25.traffic of Trafalgar Square, the baton of remembrance has been passed
:18:26. > :18:37.on once more. They have been at piece for -- peace for nearly a
:18:38. > :18:42.century now. In the field of Flanders where they lost their
:18:43. > :18:47.lives. At the Menin Gate, in Ypres, at the monument where the names of
:18:48. > :18:51.the tens of thousands who have no known grave are recorded, the Duke
:18:52. > :18:56.of Edinburgh came to witness a special act of remembrance. The
:18:57. > :18:59.funeral gun carriage drawn by six black horses from the Royal Horse
:19:00. > :19:05.Artillery had been sent from Britain. It was there to collect
:19:06. > :19:12.sandbags of soil gathered from First World War battlefields by children
:19:13. > :19:17.from Britain and Belgium. The bags, one from each battle site, were
:19:18. > :19:27.loaded as the Band of the Coldstream Guards played the lament When I Am
:19:28. > :19:32.Laid In Earth, Remember Me, Remember Me. The Parade was brought to
:19:33. > :19:36.attention as the gun carriage was prepared for its departure. At the
:19:37. > :19:41.end of the Great War, the body of one unknown British soldier was
:19:42. > :19:48.taken from the battlefields of Flanders amid great ceremony for
:19:49. > :19:51.burial at Westminster Abbey. Nearly a century later, soil from those
:19:52. > :19:56.battlefields is making its way to Britain. That soil, taken from the
:19:57. > :19:59.cemeteries which once were battlefields, will form a memorial
:20:00. > :20:08.garden in London which will be opened by the Queen on Remembrance
:20:09. > :20:12.Sunday next year. The shoe retailer, Barratts, has
:20:13. > :20:16.gone into administration for the third time in four years, putting
:20:17. > :20:20.more than 1,000 jobs at risk. The company said it was left with no
:20:21. > :20:24.choice after an investor pulled out of a plan to invest ?5 million into
:20:25. > :20:28.the ailing business. The regional airline FlyBe has
:20:29. > :20:32.announced it is cutting 500 jobs. The company says it is having to
:20:33. > :20:36.take tough decisions in order to save an extra ?26 million from next
:20:37. > :20:40.year. The Government says more than 2,000
:20:41. > :20:44.people made offers on flats and houses as part of the Government's
:20:45. > :20:47.extended Help to Buy Mortgage Guarantee Scheme. In its first
:20:48. > :20:52.month, high street lenders say there's been a strong uptake in the
:20:53. > :20:55.scheme which offers 95% mortgages to first-time buyers. Labour says
:20:56. > :20:58.building affordable homes would be a better way of tackling housing
:20:59. > :21:03.problems. Shares in BSkyB have lost 10% of
:21:04. > :21:07.their value on the first day of trading since it lost the rights to
:21:08. > :21:15.broadcast live Champions League and Europa League football matches to BT
:21:16. > :21:20.Sport. Shares in IT V also fell. After four months and more than 900
:21:21. > :21:23.miles, a man from Cheltenham has become the first person to swim the
:21:24. > :21:27.length of mainland Britain. Sean Conway set out from Land's End in
:21:28. > :21:31.June swimming along the west coast of the UK and reached John O'Groats
:21:32. > :21:38.at lunch time. James Cook was there to meet him.
:21:39. > :21:44.Stroke after stroke, day after day, month after gruelling months, Sean
:21:45. > :21:49.Conway set off from Land's End in June hoping for a summer swim to the
:21:50. > :21:53.tip of Scotland. He knew it was a challenge - that was the attraction.
:21:54. > :22:02.But he had no idea just how tough it would turn out to be. No-one has
:22:03. > :22:06.ever done it. Surely it is possible, considering Land's End to John
:22:07. > :22:10.O'Groats is such an iconic route. As soon as people told me I was going
:22:11. > :22:15.to die, I sort of thought I'm going to prove you wrong. But doing that
:22:16. > :22:19.was far from easy. Jellyfish stings, dangerous tides and autumn storms
:22:20. > :22:25.meant the adventure was full of peril. There were times when this
:22:26. > :22:31.moment felt like it would never come, but 135 days after setting
:22:32. > :22:40.off, the adventure was over. Sean swapped the bitter tang of saltwater
:22:41. > :22:45.for the sweet taste of success. I hadn't swum in the sea at all before
:22:46. > :22:50.this. It proves that if you put your mind to something, anything's
:22:51. > :22:58.possible. I would like to thank my crew who stayed for a lot longer
:22:59. > :23:08.than they said they would. So 900 miles, three million strokes - and
:23:09. > :23:13.one moment of triumph! Back to the devastation caused by
:23:14. > :23:19.Typhoon Haiyan. George is there in the capital. George?
:23:20. > :23:24.Hello, again, from Manila. As we have been hearing tonight, much of
:23:25. > :23:33.the international aid effort is only just coming in to here now. The
:23:34. > :23:36.people of the Philippines ha had to defend on their own resources. There
:23:37. > :23:40.has been criticism of the government here. This disaster in the
:23:41. > :23:46.south-east of the country has brought about a volunteer army ready
:23:47. > :23:49.to help. Relief operations are always about
:23:50. > :23:53.logistics and this one is more complicated than most. The country
:23:54. > :23:58.is a collection of islands and the disaster zone is hundreds of miles
:23:59. > :24:02.away. On the edge of Manila airport, volunteers are preparing basic
:24:03. > :24:08.survival packs. There are church groups, off-duty firefighters and
:24:09. > :24:13.these schoolchildren. They were like our brothers and sisters. So, we are
:24:14. > :24:19.here to help them. It must be very tiring work for you? Yes. It took a
:24:20. > :24:24.lot of time for us to get here. We are from other cities. We still have
:24:25. > :24:29.classes tomorrow, so we need to hurry. You have classes tomorrow?
:24:30. > :24:34.Yes. What time do they start? 6.00am. I think - I know we will be
:24:35. > :24:43.going home late tonight. It will be hard. You don't mind the hard work?
:24:44. > :24:49.Yes, we don't mind it. It is for our country. So each bag of relief
:24:50. > :24:52.supplies that's being put together here contains the bare essentials. I
:24:53. > :25:01.was looking at what goes in there. There is tinned fish, coffee, tinned
:25:02. > :25:06.beef. The water is being supplied separately. The man in charge of all
:25:07. > :25:12.of these volunteers is Roy. Thank you very much for talking to us. How
:25:13. > :25:19.much of a challenge is this for you? Yes, this is a challenge. In fact,
:25:20. > :25:25.we mobilised from all networks of our society, from private sectors,
:25:26. > :25:29.civil societies. I have seen some of the students and church workers and
:25:30. > :25:39.so on. How many people have you got going at any one time? Last night,
:25:40. > :25:48.we already produced 2,200 volunteers. You will keep going for
:25:49. > :25:54.as long as it takes? Yes, yes. It is a continuous process. We encourage
:25:55. > :25:58.more volunteers to come and help us. The next stage is for these food
:25:59. > :26:02.parcels to be flown down to the south-east of the country, but with
:26:03. > :26:09.hundreds of thousands needing help, this is just a tiny proportion of
:26:10. > :26:14.what's needed. In the last few hours, a senior UN official has
:26:15. > :26:19.given a press conference. He's confirmed that estimate of the
:26:20. > :26:26.number of dead as 10,000. He said 660,000 are homeless and 9.8 million
:26:27. > :26:29.people have been affected by this typhoon. Those are the bare figures.
:26:30. > :26:33.As we have seen through this programme, behind those figures is
:26:34. > :26:39.the human suffering and loss. That is it from Manila for tonight.
:26:40. > :26:44.Thank you very much. Time for a look at the weather now. I gather there
:26:45. > :26:47.is more bad weather heading for the Philippines.
:26:48. > :26:53.A tropical depression has now formed to the east of the Philippines that
:26:54. > :26:58.looks like it will run over the southern islands. We are talking
:26:59. > :27:02.about some heavy rain, perhaps 100 millimetres of rain. So, obviously,
:27:03. > :27:08.an area that is very vulnerable at the moment, with more bad weather to
:27:09. > :27:13.contend with. The weather here?
:27:14. > :27:18.A much more benign story. If you are taking to the roads, through this
:27:19. > :27:23.evening, even into tomorrow, poor visibility could hamper you
:27:24. > :27:26.somewhat. A combination of rain, surface water spray and low cloud
:27:27. > :27:30.and mist and murk across England and Wales. The weather front responsible
:27:31. > :27:34.will pull away south-eastwards as we move into Tuesday. Behind it,
:27:35. > :27:38.clearer skies tonight across Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland
:27:39. > :27:43.and Northern England. That could mean a patchy frost. To the south, a
:27:44. > :27:46.milder story. It could take a time for that rain to finally clear from
:27:47. > :27:52.the south-east through tomorrow afternoon. So, perhaps, Kent, Sussex
:27:53. > :27:55.and parts of Essex hanging on to the grey weather through the second part
:27:56. > :27:58.of the day. Generally, talking about tomorrow, we are talking about a
:27:59. > :28:04.drier and brighter picture than today. Quite a keen westerly wind
:28:05. > :28:07.will feed showers. Through the middle part of the week, high
:28:08. > :28:11.pressure will build. That means a lot of fine weather for England and
:28:12. > :28:21.Wales. It does mean one of the first widespread frosts of this autumn.
:28:22. > :28:24.So, dig out the de-icer, I think. The frost is more limited to the
:28:25. > :28:28.north. That is because here the wind will be starting to strengthen and
:28:29. > :28:31.through Wednesday, we are going to anticipate it continuing to
:28:32. > :28:41.strengthen, particularly into the small hours of Thursday.
:28:42. > :28:46.Further south, some sunny spells. Temperatures pushing up to double
:28:47. > :28:52.figures. A longer outlook on bbc.co.uk/weather.
:28:53. > :28:55.That is all from the BBC News at Six. Goodbye.
