0:01:27 > 0:01:27Two days of heavy rain have led to flash flooding and mudslides.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Andy Moore reports.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Nearly 200 people have died after a tropical storm struck
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Clinging to the neck of his rescuer, a young boy is carried
0:01:43 > 0:01:44across the floodwaters.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46There was little sign of official help here,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48just villagers doing their best to rescue each other
0:01:48 > 0:01:50with fragile ropes.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53In a country used to devastating storms, this took many by surprise.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The authorities said too many people had ignored warnings to leave
0:01:56 > 0:01:59coastal areas and river banks.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Many of the casualties were on the main southern island, Mindanao.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06This man said houses were getting flooded but people couldn't escape,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10so they got caught in the strong currents and swept away.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16Many places were hit by landslides.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Flimsy houses were buried beneath tonnes of debris.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23The Red Cross is helping coordinate the relief effort.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26We have already provided water and food, and we have been
0:02:26 > 0:02:30distributing non-food items, blankets, mosquito nets
0:02:30 > 0:02:34and hygiene kits for those who are in the evacuation centres
0:02:34 > 0:02:38to alleviate the suffering of many of the folks there.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44The Philippines is battered by about 20 typhoons every year.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45This particular storm is not over yet.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48It's now heading towards the popular tourist island of Palawan.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50As it passes over warm, tropical waters, its winds are set
0:02:50 > 0:02:51to grow again in strength.
0:02:51 > 0:03:01Andy Moore, BBC News.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13A short while ago I was speaking to Helen billets from the BBC weather
0:03:13 > 0:03:21centre to get an update on the path and where it's headed next.Now it's
0:03:21 > 0:03:25heading to open waters and then we think towards parts of southern
0:03:25 > 0:03:32Vietnam.So, in terms of the severity of it, is it building, is
0:03:32 > 0:03:35it subsiding or at a constant level as it moves across the region?These
0:03:35 > 0:03:39sort of storms can happen any time of the year but we normally have
0:03:39 > 0:03:45peak from about May to October, slightly out of peak and far south.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49We have had substantial rainfall. It's moving to open waters which is
0:03:49 > 0:03:53where these storms an get energy from so it's likely to intensify in
0:03:53 > 0:03:57the short-term to a typhoon, probably through tomorrow. Becoming
0:03:57 > 0:04:00a typhoon tomorrow evening across the Philippines, Vietnam time. But
0:04:00 > 0:04:05then we think before it makes landfall in Vietnam it's likely to
0:04:05 > 0:04:10weaken again dramatically, colder air, but the winds are expected
0:04:10 > 0:04:16toing around 110 kilometres an hour, not just concerns for southern
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Vietnam where we think it's going to hit during Monday evening their time
0:04:19 > 0:04:24is the likelihood it will make landfall then, could have about 200
0:04:24 > 0:04:28millimetres of rain and it's in a similar area to those affected so we
0:04:28 > 0:04:32could see further flash flooding, that happened about a month ago.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Clearly the ground is still saturated. The other fly in the
0:04:36 > 0:04:42ointment unfortunately is what will happen is as this moves away it
0:04:42 > 0:04:46enhances the north-east monsoon, it brings lots of rain across the
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Philippines and parts of India and China and that could enhance rains,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54those areas, southern and central Vietnam are most at risk of further
0:04:54 > 0:05:01heavy rain indeed.It is storm season. The region sees storms like
0:05:01 > 0:05:05this fairly frequently at this time of year. In terms of the severity
0:05:05 > 0:05:09how does it compare, is it stronger than average?It's really about what
0:05:09 > 0:05:17they would expect. If it becomes a typhoon temporarily, but that's
0:05:17 > 0:05:21obviously winds of 70 knots, that's about 120 kilometres an hour plus,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25that's a quite nasty storm. Yes, it's expected to weaken but will
0:05:25 > 0:05:29still have strong winds, still will be a tropical storm when it hits, it
0:05:29 > 0:05:33could do a lot of damage around the coast, structurely, of course, gives
0:05:33 > 0:05:40high tides as well, pushing large waves, coastal flooding but rain
0:05:40 > 0:05:44still remains the main concern.You can find much more on this story on
0:05:44 > 0:05:49our website including a look at how countries can cope with such natural
0:05:49 > 0:05:53disasters. Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the
0:05:53 > 0:05:56news.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07The sacked Catalan leader, Carles Puigdemont, says he wants
0:06:07 > 0:06:10to return to Catalonia and be sworn in again as the region's president.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13He urged the Spanish Government to let him return for talks. The
0:06:13 > 0:06:25political instability isn't bringing down Catalonia's Christmas spirit.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32Catalonia may be facing a crisis but it hasn't dampened the spirit of
0:06:32 > 0:06:34locals. TRANSLATION: Of course there will be
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Christmas dinners and people will discuss politics but in the end the
0:06:37 > 0:06:41primary thing of the people, nothing will happen.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46So what next for Catalonia? That's what everyone in the region is
0:06:46 > 0:06:48wondering after elections that once again gave pro-independence parties
0:06:48 > 0:06:53a majority. Now the separatist leader has said
0:06:53 > 0:06:57he wants to return from self-imposed exile in Belgium and continue as
0:06:57 > 0:07:01President. TRANSLATION: I am the President
0:07:01 > 0:07:05right now and I haven't stopped being it. Even if they sacked me by
0:07:05 > 0:07:17decree of the Spanish Government which has failed in Catalonia.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22He has called for dialogue with the Spanish Government. Even if it falls
0:07:22 > 0:07:26short of independence. TRANSLATION:I say let's talk, let's
0:07:26 > 0:07:41talk about everything. But above all, about what Catalan's want.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45They have the largest individual vote, even though it's unlikely they
0:07:45 > 0:07:50can form a coalition. And if and when talks between Madrid and the
0:07:50 > 0:07:54separatists do take place, it's not clear what would be different this
0:07:54 > 0:08:00time.Of course the Spanish Government will say no to their
0:08:00 > 0:08:07proposal of a legal referendum so in less than however years we will be
0:08:07 > 0:08:11on the same situation that we were before the election.As the crisis
0:08:11 > 0:08:15continues, it's the economy that's most at risk. Tourism is suffering
0:08:15 > 0:08:19and already more than 3,000 companies are moving their legal
0:08:19 > 0:08:26headquarters out of Catalonia.
0:08:26 > 0:08:3032 people have been killed in a bus crash in Rajasthan in India.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Officials say the driver lost control of the vehicle,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34which broke through a guard rail and fell thirty metres
0:08:34 > 0:08:40from a bridge.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Venezuela has expelled the Brazilian ambassador to Caracas -
0:08:43 > 0:08:45and a Canadian diplomat - accusing them of interfering
0:08:45 > 0:08:47in internal matters and violating the rule of law.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Last week, Brazil issued a statement accusing President Nicolas Maduro
0:08:49 > 0:08:50of harassing the opposition.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53And earlier this year Canada imposed sanctions on a number
0:08:53 > 0:08:59of Venezuelan officials.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02The conductor Charles Dutoit has denied accusations of sexual
0:09:02 > 0:09:03assault made against him, calling the allegations shocking,
0:09:04 > 0:09:05with no basis in truth.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Four women - three of them opera singers and one
0:09:07 > 0:09:17a classical musician - have accused him of sexual assault.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21The United Nations has - for the first time -
0:09:21 > 0:09:23begun flying vulnerable African refugees being held
0:09:23 > 0:09:24in Libya into Europe.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27More direct flights to Italy are planned for the new year -
0:09:27 > 0:09:29for those deemed to be extremely vulnerable - including single
0:09:29 > 0:09:39mothers, unaccompanied children and people with disabilities.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52A military plane touching down in Italy.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53On-board, 110 women and children, African migrants.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Refugees who travelled to Libya, now flown directly to Europe
0:09:56 > 0:09:57for the very first time.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00They are part of the protection work that UNHCR does in Libya.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03We have visited the detention centre 995 times this year and 1,200
0:10:03 > 0:10:06vulnerable refugees, we have had them released.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Tens of thousands of people fleeing their homes arrive in Libya
0:10:09 > 0:10:11each year and attempt to cross the Mediterranean to reach
0:10:11 > 0:10:20Italy, their very first footsteps into Europe.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22The risks are enormous.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25These people were pulled from the water last week
0:10:25 > 0:10:27when their boat broke in half off the Libyan coast, rescued
0:10:27 > 0:10:33by chance by the Libyan navy.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36This year and for the past four years in a row more than 3,000
0:10:36 > 0:10:39people have died trying to make the crossing.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Those who survive often say their greatest fear
0:10:41 > 0:10:45is being sent back to Libya to camps like these.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51Complaints of abuse are widespread, of beatings and ill treatment.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Desperation forces many into the hands of human traffickers
0:10:55 > 0:10:59and into boats overloaded and unfit for the sea.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Italy has called this an evacuation, the first they hope of many.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06These people, the most vulnerable.
0:11:06 > 0:11:0850 more are due on a later plane.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11TRANSLATION: We managed to intervene in a particularly
0:11:11 > 0:11:16difficult situation, like the Libyan one,
0:11:16 > 0:11:22and managed to bring women and children to safety,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26welcoming the refugees and rescuing them from the people smugglers.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30European leaders met in Brussels this week to discuss migration.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33More than 160,000 people have arrived in Europe
0:11:33 > 0:11:37from Africa this year.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39That's less than half the number from 2016,
0:11:39 > 0:11:45but measures to curb arrivals, like a repatriation scheme,
0:11:45 > 0:11:46ongoing in Libya, are highly controversial.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Now Italy plans to take the lead, taking up to 10,000 more
0:11:49 > 0:11:52people from Libya in 2018, and is looking to the rest of Europe
0:11:52 > 0:12:02to help to find them new homes.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12Still to come. Deep sea alert. Nato commanders warn of Russian
0:12:12 > 0:12:24submarines hunting a valuable target on the ocean floor.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31We saw a tidal wave approaching the beach and people started to run.
0:12:31 > 0:12:37Suddenly it was complete chaos.The United States troops have been
0:12:37 > 0:12:42trying to overthrow the dictatorship of General Noriega. It's failed in
0:12:42 > 0:12:47its principle objective, to capture General Noriega and take him to the
0:12:47 > 0:12:51United States to face drugs charges. The Russian flag was hoisted over
0:12:51 > 0:12:55what is now no longer the Soviet Union, but the Commonwealth of
0:12:55 > 0:13:13independent states.Day broke slowly over Lockerbie.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Christmas has returned to Albania after a communist ban lasting more
0:13:15 > 0:13:19than 20 years. Thousands went to midnight mass where there were
0:13:19 > 0:13:26anti-communist riots ten days ago.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41The headlines. Tropical storm has left more than 180 people dead in
0:13:41 > 0:13:44the Philippines. Two days of heavy rain have led to flash flooding and
0:13:44 > 0:13:50mud slides. The sacked leader of Catalan says he
0:13:50 > 0:13:55wants to return to Catalonia and be sworn in again as the region's
0:13:55 > 0:13:59President.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01A wildfire in California is now the largest ever
0:14:01 > 0:14:02recorded in the state.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04More than a thousand square kilometres have been
0:14:04 > 0:14:06affected by the Thomas Fire, which started in early December.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09A spokesman for the Fire service says the flames are now
0:14:09 > 0:14:1165 percent contained - and one of the key
0:14:11 > 0:14:14resources has been the use of convicts on day release.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18James Cook has their story
0:14:18 > 0:14:19It's pretty challenging.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Sometimes we're right there, right next to the fire.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Compared to being in prison and being here, it's
0:14:23 > 0:14:25completely different.
0:14:25 > 0:14:32Here you feel free. You're out in the world.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The biggest change for me is mental, because I've never pushed myself
0:14:35 > 0:14:44as hard, ever in life.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48California has 4,000 inmate firefighters, men and women.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54Cutting firebreaks is risky work, two have died this year.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59But there are rewards too in reduced sentences and a sense of purpose.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05After being in this programme, I feel like I've been rehabilitated
0:15:05 > 0:15:08and I feel like I can go out there and achieve anything
0:15:08 > 0:15:12I want to because I've done this.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15This is so hard.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17We were allowed inside this prison camp in Malibu.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19There are no walls or fences here.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25Violent or volatile prisoners are not allowed
0:15:25 > 0:15:26to join the programme.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30With a job like this, there is only time to think about the work.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Latoya Najar is serving four years for causing the death
0:15:33 > 0:15:37of her seven-year-old son in a drunken car crash.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39The attraction for me was because of my crime,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I could come out here and do something positive.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45It's challenging mentally to get over something.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I'm never going to get over it, but to try to ease my mind
0:15:49 > 0:15:53and this has helped.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56With California facing more frequent and more destructive fires,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59some critics call this slave labour.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02But the project is voluntary, it may reduce re-offending and it
0:16:02 > 0:16:04provides some measure of redemption.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Everyone is like, "We love you firefighters."
0:16:06 > 0:16:12We all wave back and we wave to the kids.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It's amazing, yes.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16The work may be exhausting, it may be dangerous,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19but in the words of one prisoner, "It's better than twiddling
0:16:19 > 0:16:22your thumbs in jail."
0:16:22 > 0:16:32James Cook, BBC News, in Southern California.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Russian submarine activity has apparently reached a level not seen
0:16:37 > 0:16:40since the end of the Cold War thirty years ago.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46That warning comes from Senior NATO officers.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48They're concerned that Russia could target undersea cables linking
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Europe to the United States.
0:16:49 > 0:16:59The cables provide important internet and communications links.
0:17:01 > 0:17:07Joining us to discuss this is the deputy director general of the Royal
0:17:07 > 0:17:11United services institute, Malcolm Chalmers. Does it seem Russia is
0:17:11 > 0:17:15back on the scene as a formidable power to be reckoned with?I think
0:17:15 > 0:17:21that's right. In that sense it's not new, it's a trend we have seen over
0:17:21 > 0:17:27the last decade, very large increase in the Russian defence budget which
0:17:27 > 0:17:32has allowed its forces on land and at sea to be much more active, to
0:17:32 > 0:17:36train more vigorously, to improve the effectiveness of their
0:17:36 > 0:17:40operations, compared with a decade ago and that's reflected in
0:17:40 > 0:17:45submarines surging into the north Atlantic at a rate that they haven't
0:17:45 > 0:17:50before for more than 20 years so starting to match Nato in the levels
0:17:50 > 0:17:55of activity of their maritime forces.Haven't we seen peaks and
0:17:55 > 0:17:59troughs, it just changes over years, there are surges of activity and
0:17:59 > 0:18:03then it subsides, could this not just be another one of those high
0:18:03 > 0:18:10points and then it will taper off again?Of course that's always
0:18:10 > 0:18:16possible. But I think more about Russia returning to the normal level
0:18:16 > 0:18:21of activity for a force that wants to actually be seen as credible by
0:18:21 > 0:18:27Nato. For a long period after the end of the Cold War in the early
0:18:27 > 0:18:321990s Russia had a large fleet but hardly ever went to sea and
0:18:32 > 0:18:36therefore Nato Navies came to believe they really had not much
0:18:36 > 0:18:39capability to actually use them, but over the last decade that's changed.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44They've become more active and more serious and one of the consequences
0:18:44 > 0:18:50has been that Nato Navies, including the Royal Navy, are having to spend
0:18:50 > 0:18:53a lot more of their time tracking Russian submarines to see what
0:18:53 > 0:19:00they're up to and as a result of that tracking one assumes that we
0:19:00 > 0:19:03have these multiplying reports of Russian interests in undersea
0:19:03 > 0:19:08cables, to track a Russian submarine takes a lot of effort from our
0:19:08 > 0:19:10submarines, but also surface ships and aircraft.You mentioned the
0:19:10 > 0:19:15cables there. What would their interest be in
0:19:15 > 0:19:23targeting those cables?Well, in the event of a large-scale conflict,
0:19:23 > 0:19:29cutting those cables would be very valuable in terms of disrupting the
0:19:29 > 0:19:36economies of western societies. Targeting cables is nothing new. The
0:19:36 > 0:19:39UK destroyed German Telegraph cables back at the end of World War I, but
0:19:39 > 0:19:45today we are much more dependent on those cables because of the central
0:19:45 > 0:19:49role of the internet in our economies. So in the event of a
0:19:49 > 0:19:53conflict this would be a capability which the Russians could deploy
0:19:53 > 0:19:55along with all sorts of other capabilities, it doesn't mean
0:19:55 > 0:20:00they're going to attack them out of the blue but it's one more element
