:01:42. > :01:46.Good evening. There's growing desperation tonight among survivors
:01:47. > :01:50.of the super typhoon that left a trail of destruction across the
:01:51. > :01:54.Philippines. Many are facing a fifth night without the basics of life -
:01:55. > :01:58.food, water and shelter - and there are serious concerns about the
:01:59. > :02:04.spread of disease. There are fears that at least 10,000 people may have
:02:05. > :02:07.died in the disaster. -- that up to 10,000 people may have died,
:02:08. > :02:10.although the final number could change. The United Nations has
:02:11. > :02:13.launched an appeal for almost ?200 million. Tonight we'll hear from the
:02:14. > :02:16.worst affected areas - the towns and villages on Cebu island still
:02:17. > :02:20.waiting for aid - and from the epicentre of the disaster, the city
:02:21. > :02:29.of Tacloban. From there, Jon Donnison sent this report.
:02:30. > :02:35.Rain was the last thing people needed here today. After a night of
:02:36. > :02:42.thunderstorms, the homeless and the helpless are doing what they can to
:02:43. > :02:47.put a roof over their heads. In this neighbourhood, the clean-up has
:02:48. > :02:52.begun. It may look futile, but people are doing their best to
:02:53. > :02:58.restore some sort of order. Remembering what they once had and
:02:59. > :03:02.wondering when help will arrive. People here are having to help
:03:03. > :03:08.themselves. They are doing whatever they can to try to rebuild their
:03:09. > :03:13.homes and their lives and survive. But the question, surely, where do
:03:14. > :03:16.you start? And this is just one block in one neighbourhood in one
:03:17. > :03:22.city. Everyone here has remarkable stories
:03:23. > :03:29.of how they survived the Typhoon. Powerhouse collapsed. I got into my
:03:30. > :03:40.toilet. -- our house collapsed. I held onto the toilet. But the
:03:41. > :03:45.survivors are still vulnerable. Clean water is in short supply.
:03:46. > :03:50.Here, they are using a T-shirt to filter out the filth so it can be
:03:51. > :03:55.used to cook with. People here are resilient, determined to get their
:03:56. > :04:04.lives back, but they need help, and soon. We can survive without houses.
:04:05. > :04:10.It is OK for us. We can sleep anywhere. But we need food. Only
:04:11. > :04:15.food. No money, no places, no televisions, no cell phones, no
:04:16. > :04:21.technology, it is food, we need food. To get it, some are
:04:22. > :04:24.increasingly taking matters into their own hands.
:04:25. > :04:31.Another big food warehouse was ransacked today. As the word got
:04:32. > :04:35.out, hundreds rushed to grab what they could. Five days after the
:04:36. > :04:43.Typhoon struck, people here are still having to help themselves.
:04:44. > :04:46.The first British Government aid flight is expected to arrive in the
:04:47. > :04:49.Philippines shortly. It will bring tents and shelters. But getting the
:04:50. > :04:53.aid into the country is one thing. Getting the aid out to those who
:04:54. > :05:00.need it is another. George Alagiah flew from Cebu city to try to reach
:05:01. > :05:04.Tacloban, and sent this report. Flying time to tackle a ban, the
:05:05. > :05:11.heart of the disaster zone, is about 45 minutes. -- flying time to
:05:12. > :05:17.Tacloban. But the captain wonders that he might have to dodge a fewer
:05:18. > :05:23.storms. Much of the aid effort so far is focused on some of the big
:05:24. > :05:28.towns. From 300 feet above ground you can see just how many villages
:05:29. > :05:36.have been affected. Helicopter mercy missions would be ideal, but there
:05:37. > :05:45.is a problem. One of the pilots had a bad experience. He landed, and the
:05:46. > :05:51.people just ran forwards and grabbed him. It was dangerous. I guess you
:05:52. > :05:55.can't really blame them, they are just desperate? Exactly, they are
:05:56. > :06:03.really desperate, they need immediate help. Really desperate
:06:04. > :06:08.time. Around this area, the roads have been cleared, but other
:06:09. > :06:13.infrastructure, from electric pylons to factories, have been destroyed.
:06:14. > :06:18.Much of Leyte province is given over to agriculture - mostly coconuts,
:06:19. > :06:23.sugar cane and rice. You can see that mile upon mile of
:06:24. > :06:27.crops has been destroyed. The rural farmers here have lost their whole
:06:28. > :06:33.growing season. They will be dependent on food age for months.
:06:34. > :06:35.Tacloban lies on the other side of a ridge of mountains.
:06:36. > :06:41.Our pilot tried several passes but the weather was closing in. No
:06:42. > :06:48.choice but to turn back. The rain is too thick, the clouds
:06:49. > :06:53.are too close to the ground. You get a sense of how difficult the aid
:06:54. > :06:56.operation must be. Filipinos are resilient, this is not the first
:06:57. > :06:59.storm they have weathered, and it will not be the last.
:07:00. > :07:01.If nothing else, they have their faith to cling to.
:07:02. > :07:04.George Alagiah reporting there. As victims of the typhoon become
:07:05. > :07:06.increasingly angry at the lack of food, shelter and medicine, the
:07:07. > :07:11.Filipino government has pledged to leave not one living person behind,
:07:12. > :07:17.no matter where they are. But many in the more remote areas have heard
:07:18. > :07:20.nothing from the authorities so far. Our correspondent Alastair Leithead
:07:21. > :07:33.travelled from Cebu city to the far north of Cebu island, which so far
:07:34. > :07:37.has received no aid. On Cebu Island, the roads north is
:07:38. > :07:45.littered with the remains of what the storm left behind. Holmes turned
:07:46. > :07:51.to matchsticks. Trees stripped. Every village has a terrifying story
:07:52. > :07:57.of the night the storm hit. Where is your house? There. Jena was inside
:07:58. > :08:04.with her husband and three children when the roof flew off. The roof has
:08:05. > :08:10.come off? They had to battle the win to reach the safety of a
:08:11. > :08:16.neighbour's home. -- battled the wind. We saw two small teams working
:08:17. > :08:23.on the power lines, a desperate task for so few people. All along the
:08:24. > :08:30.roads, children have been sent to ask for help, but it has been slow
:08:31. > :08:34.in coming. These people manage to collect a fewer sacks of rice
:08:35. > :08:38.together and drove to the first place where they found people in
:08:39. > :08:45.need. It did not take long. The line was soon up the road. We are packing
:08:46. > :08:51.rice, candles and medicines. The further you go north, it is very
:08:52. > :08:59.badly affected. She was right. The wind tore this roof off is one
:09:00. > :09:04.peaches -- one piece. So much damage and help us not arrived, four days
:09:05. > :09:13.on. Please, if you could help our people, some of them are dying for
:09:14. > :09:18.hunger. We need the help and assistance of some kind-hearted
:09:19. > :09:22.people. On the northern tip of Cebu Island, the storm hit hardest. Some
:09:23. > :09:28.were lucky and just needed patch holes, others will need to start
:09:29. > :09:32.from scratch. As we made the way to the area where the majority of the
:09:33. > :09:36.damage has been done, pretty much every house has been flattened or
:09:37. > :09:41.had its roof taken off. The people here say the islands surrounding it
:09:42. > :09:44.are even worse. There are still so many remote places along the trail
:09:45. > :09:48.of disaster where people are desperately waiting for help.
:09:49. > :09:51.New footage has also emerged which shows the typhoon as it struck the
:09:52. > :09:54.Philippines. The amateur video shows trees and buildings in the city of
:09:55. > :10:07.Tacloban being battered by winds of up to 170 miles an hour as the storm
:10:08. > :10:11.made landfall. Tim Willcox is at the airport in
:10:12. > :10:16.Cebu city, where aid is being called elated. Is there any sign that this
:10:17. > :10:25.aid is coming through in larger quantities? There are problems. I am
:10:26. > :10:28.in Cebu city, a few miles away from Cebu International airport, which is
:10:29. > :10:30.meant to be one of the main departure points for international
:10:31. > :10:37.aid into the worst affected areas. But because of a shortage of
:10:38. > :10:39.suitable aircraft, for example for Tacloban runway, which is
:10:40. > :10:45.particularly short, and the bad weather, some of the aid is not
:10:46. > :10:48.getting through. Earlier today I spoke to a crew on board a Belgian
:10:49. > :10:55.flight which had flown in from Brussels at dawn via Azerbaijan and
:10:56. > :10:59.India. On board that flight will water purification systems and a
:11:00. > :11:06.mobile field hospital, equipment that would keep 30,000 people going
:11:07. > :11:08.for up to a month. But because there was no on-board transportation
:11:09. > :11:13.availability, that aid is on the runway here at the international
:11:14. > :11:20.airport. Very frustrating for the crew on board, they are desperate to
:11:21. > :11:24.get into the worst affected areas. And really problematic for those
:11:25. > :11:31.tens of thousands of people who need that aid to like that, -- who need
:11:32. > :11:34.that aid, like that, you may now be denied.
:11:35. > :11:36.The rest of the news now. The energy firm EDF has become the latest to
:11:37. > :11:39.raise its prices. But the hike of 3.9% was
:11:40. > :11:43.significantly lower than those of its rivals, raising the prospect of
:11:44. > :11:46.a price war between the companies. The Energy Secretary, Ed Davey, has
:11:47. > :11:58.warned the big six not to treat their customers as cash cows to be
:11:59. > :12:04.squeezed. John Moylan reports. Price rises have come thick and
:12:05. > :12:09.fast. SSE, then three others. It is thought E.ON will move soon. Now 2.5
:12:10. > :12:15.million EDF customers will see bills increase by 3.9%, the lowest
:12:16. > :12:21.increase so far. Instead of doing what the others have done, which is
:12:22. > :12:27.to increase more than twice, we have held back part of the increase so
:12:28. > :12:34.our customers will benefit now from this review of the cost.
:12:35. > :12:39.That review is into the green and social levies suppliers pass on to
:12:40. > :12:43.households. The government is seeking to scale them back. Another
:12:44. > :12:46.of the big six suppliers has confirmed that if that happens,
:12:47. > :12:52.prices will fall. If the levy comes down, the price comes down. On the
:12:53. > :13:03.same basis as EDF, our price would go up net around 6%, from 10% 26%.
:13:04. > :13:06.What has been forcing prices higher? Some have blamed higher wholesale
:13:07. > :13:10.gas and electricity costs, but EDF says these have been flat. It is
:13:11. > :13:16.threatening to increase tariffs if those cuts in levies do not come.
:13:17. > :13:20.The move today by EDF has put the pressure back on the government. The
:13:21. > :13:24.Prime Minister has said he wants to roll back the green levies, but the
:13:25. > :13:29.question for his Energy Secretary is, can the government deliver on
:13:30. > :13:36.that and, if so, I how much can they reduce bills? ?50 to ?60 seems to be
:13:37. > :13:40.the informed speculation. The Energy Secretary would not comment today
:13:41. > :13:47.but stepped up his attack on the firms. It is so difficult for people
:13:48. > :13:50.to work out what is going on, and they fear that the big energy
:13:51. > :13:53.companies are taking them for a ride.
:13:54. > :13:56.Fair or not, consumers look at the big suppliers and see a reflection
:13:57. > :14:01.of the greed which consumed the banks. Consumers say the big energy
:14:02. > :14:05.companies always raise prices by the same amount.
:14:06. > :14:06.Now EDF has broken ranks, but will that be enough to get people to
:14:07. > :14:10.switch? Inflation has dropped to its lowest
:14:11. > :14:13.level in more than a year. It's fallen to 2.2% in October, down from
:14:14. > :14:16.2.7% in September, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index. Our chief
:14:17. > :14:24.economics correspondent Hugh Pym is here with the details.
:14:25. > :14:30.It was expected to fall, but not by this much? Indeed. Most analysts
:14:31. > :14:33.were surprised by the sharp drop in inflation, which measures cost of
:14:34. > :14:37.living increases. Let's look at some of the detail behind the latest
:14:38. > :14:41.figures. It is worth bearing in mind that although inflation has fallen,
:14:42. > :14:47.food prices are raising pretty sharply, up 4.3% in the year to
:14:48. > :14:53.October. The clothing price increases are more muted, up 1.4%.
:14:54. > :15:00.The downward pressure on inflation came from fuel prices, on average
:15:01. > :15:03.they were down 4.2% in the year to October. Inflation is still running
:15:04. > :15:11.three times the rate of average pay rises, it is not totally clear where
:15:12. > :15:13.it goes from here because of these energy price increases, but this is
:15:14. > :15:21.better than expected news for consumers, who will be a bit more
:15:22. > :15:26.relieved. Our top story: The UN launches an
:15:27. > :15:31.appeal for ?200 million to help the victims of the Super Typhoon that
:15:32. > :15:36.hit the Philippines. Coming up, I will be reporting from this Oxfam
:15:37. > :15:39.warehouse. 16 tonnes of equipment and supplies, heading out to the
:15:40. > :15:45.Philippines. I will be showing you some of the stuff that is heading
:15:46. > :15:49.out there. In Sportsday, head Ernie and have appointed Terry Butcher as
:15:50. > :15:53.their new manager. The former England captain joined from
:15:54. > :16:03.Inverness. He has admitted he left the Highlands with a heavy heart.
:16:04. > :16:08.The British fashion designer Sir Paul Smith has spent his life
:16:09. > :16:13.building his business into a global brand. Now his contribution to
:16:14. > :16:18.fashion is to be recognised in an exhibition at the Design Museum in
:16:19. > :16:22.London. Sir Paul, 67, opened his first shop in 1970 in Nottingham. He
:16:23. > :16:27.now sells clothes in 74 countries around the world. The fashion
:16:28. > :16:33.industry contributes an estimated ?21 billion to the UK economy. But,
:16:34. > :16:36.as he told the BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz, it is still a
:16:37. > :16:42.struggle for designers to get the recognition they deserve.
:16:43. > :16:46.The latest catwalk show from 67-year-old British designer Sir
:16:47. > :16:49.Paul Smith. His career is the subject of a new exhibition at the
:16:50. > :16:52.Design Museum in London. It starts with a replica of the tiny backroom
:16:53. > :16:57.in Nottingham from which he started his fashion empire by, he says,
:16:58. > :17:03.trusting his instincts. Do not clutter your head with information
:17:04. > :17:07.about other people and other stuff. Just look around. What I really
:17:08. > :17:13.tried to talk to are lots of youngsters, when I see them, people
:17:14. > :17:18.that visit the building is that it is there if you want it, but you
:17:19. > :17:22.have to be patient. Nowadays, everybody wants to go like a
:17:23. > :17:26.rocket. To be a designer now, I think you have really got to have a
:17:27. > :17:33.point of view. What is the Paul Smith point of view? The overused
:17:34. > :17:37.phrase is classic with a twist. I worked out many years ago, I am not
:17:38. > :17:42.a confrontational person, I wanted people to be at ease in my clothes.
:17:43. > :17:45.But I also wanted them to be a bit special. I thought, why would
:17:46. > :17:48.anybody buy anything from me when there are brilliant things out
:17:49. > :17:55.there? And I kept thinking, well, all I can do is make something that
:17:56. > :17:59.is easy to wear but makes you smile. Or something that has a little
:18:00. > :18:03.secret that only you know about. What about where we are now, as far
:18:04. > :18:09.as the fashion business is concerned? You have a major
:18:10. > :18:13.international business. The creative industries are considered to be a
:18:14. > :18:16.huge part of Britain's future. Do you think they are supported
:18:17. > :18:22.sufficiently well by government? I have been to Downing Street. You
:18:23. > :18:26.know, fighting my corner for design. Not for me, Paul Smith, but for
:18:27. > :18:32.design. Explaining... I remember years ago, explaining that design is
:18:33. > :18:36.not just about bare breasts and red hair. It is about designing, for
:18:37. > :18:42.instance, a tap that some body with rheumatism can turn more easily. If
:18:43. > :18:45.you look at a lot of the key companies around the world, there
:18:46. > :18:50.will be a British designer in there. So we are great at producing them
:18:51. > :18:55.and creating them. But we are not always great at nurturing them. What
:18:56. > :19:00.is the problem? Probably something to do with our attitude towards the
:19:01. > :19:06.management of design. Not understanding design. Paul Smith
:19:07. > :19:09.certainly does. Realising that an emotional connection as often as
:19:10. > :19:13.important as functional practicalities. He is surrounded by
:19:14. > :19:17.curios and objects sent in by happy customers. People wanting to
:19:18. > :19:23.brighten up his world, just as he wanted to brighten theirs.
:19:24. > :19:26.The jury in the trial of former News International staff accused of phone
:19:27. > :19:29.hacking has been listening to recordings of voice mail messages by
:19:30. > :19:32.the former Labour Cabinet minister David Blunkett. They were left on
:19:33. > :19:37.the mobile of his friend, Sally Anderson. The messages, left in the
:19:38. > :19:40.wake of false newspaper claims that he was having a relationship with
:19:41. > :19:46.Miss Anderson, were seized from the home of the private investigator.
:19:47. > :19:51.New mothers are to be paid to breast-feed their babies as part of
:19:52. > :19:54.a research project aimed at boosting low rates of breast-feeding. Mothers
:19:55. > :19:58.taking part in the pilot scheme in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire will
:19:59. > :20:02.get vouchers to spend at shops and supermarkets. Critics say the money
:20:03. > :20:07.would be better spent helping those mothers that have difficulties
:20:08. > :20:12.feeding their newborns. Breast is best. So says the health
:20:13. > :20:15.message to mothers that their breastmilk can help protect babies
:20:16. > :20:20.from infection. But breast-feeding rates are still low in some parts of
:20:21. > :20:24.the UK. At this play scheme in Sheffield, the city where the
:20:25. > :20:28.research is based, some mothers are unconvinced that offering shopping
:20:29. > :20:32.vouchers is the right answer. When I think about the people I know that
:20:33. > :20:35.did not breast-feed, people I know personally, it would not work. It is
:20:36. > :20:41.almost insulting, because they wanted to feed and they couldn't.
:20:42. > :20:43.You already save money if you breast-feed anyway, because you
:20:44. > :20:47.don't have to buy as many bottles or the formula. There is already a
:20:48. > :20:52.financial incentive. It's more important to give people support.
:20:53. > :20:56.This is early stage of a four yesterday begins today. It will
:20:57. > :20:58.involve up to 130 new mothers in parts of Derbyshire and Sheffield.
:20:59. > :21:03.If they breast-feed for six months, they will get shopping vouchers
:21:04. > :21:07.worth ?200, given in five stages. The mothers and their midwife or
:21:08. > :21:10.health visitor sign forms to declare they are breast-feeding, with the
:21:11. > :21:16.project relying on honest conversations. The initial reaction
:21:17. > :21:20.is, gosh, you can't do that. Once they start thinking about it and
:21:21. > :21:23.realising the importance of breast-feeding to babies, nuns and
:21:24. > :21:27.society, and the fact that the UK has one of the worst Best feeding
:21:28. > :21:33.rates in the world, they think, OK, let's give this a try. When you look
:21:34. > :21:36.at breast-feeding rates globally, the UK lags behind many companies.

:25:02. > :25:05.will get there at the weekend. We wish you could get there sooner, but
:25:06. > :25:08.it can't. We will be doing that as soon as possible. We can do that

:25:23. > :25:27.we are calling for a big public appeal to help the people of the
:25:28. > :25:32.Philippines. Is there anything that could be done to get it out there
