Storm makes landfall in Vietnam

Welcome to the latest global news recorded at 00:30 GMT on Monday, the 11th of November. I am Valory Sundus with a selection of highlights from across BBC World Service News today.

Coming up, a humanitarian disaster in the Philippines after typhoon Haiyan leaves thousands dead and millions without homes.

"We're really concentrating on the initial response and getting the tents, the water to shelter and calls the medical supply straight as quickly as possible."

Now the typhoon has made landfall in Vietnam.

"The communities there are experiencing extremely heavy rain and extremely strong wind."

Also, "We are not blind and I don't think we are stupid." The US Secretary of State says "without a good deal is no deal with Iran."

But first to the Philippines where the authorities are struggling to cope with the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan three days after one of the world's deadliest storm swept the country. Thousands of troops have been deployed to the disaster zones and military cargo planes are flying in supplies. But the sheer scale of the devastation is daunting. In one city alone Tacloban on the island of Leyte officials say at least ten thousand people are thought to have died.

"We just escape. We want to survive. We think that it was just our last."

"We're really in hope that we can manage to survive."

"No food, no water, no aid from the government, no help from the government,,oh, just like an animal."

There's been no contact so far with two towns in oriental Mindoro Province, which is said to be 80 percent under water. Hundreds of thousands of people are displaced and in many areas there is no clean water, no electricity and very little food. Eline Lime was in Tacloban when the typhoon hit. She described the scene after the storm had passed.

"Well we did see what we finally got was dead bodies still on the side of the street, rescuers trying to clean the roads as well as pick up those bodies. Children and their families were trying to return home just to see if there was anything left in selvage. But clearly there was nothing left because there were patches of areas where you shall see just flattened ground and you know absolutely mean nothing left from what used to be homes."

Richard Gorden is chairman of the Philippines' Red Cross and he gave an update on the relief operation.
