Typhoon strikes Philippines
The Philippines has been struck by a powerful typhoon causing floods and power cuts in the capital Manila.
Many roads are out of use, flights have been cancelled and residents are being advised against non-essential travel, according to the BBC.
At least two people have been killed and another four reported missing as Typhoon Nesat forced the closure of the Philippine Stock Exchange, the US embassy in Manila and the evacuation of more than 100,000 people in the central Albay province.
The typhoon is expected to continue across the country, before blowing across the South China Sea towards southern China on Thursday.
