and how the humble fruit fly could break a deadly disease. the president of the philippines has visited an island devastated by typhoon haiyan. help is on the way for thousands displaced by the storm. this is an account of what was witnessed. >> reporter: it was a vicious force that paralyzed leyte. it swept through the philippines friday morning. it destroyed everything in its path - powerlines, roads, villages, all wiped out in an instant. the typhoon arrived three hours earlier than expected. thousands of people were trapped when water rose as high as five metres. we were one of them right at the height. we are trying to make our way
5:02 am
out of this place. this is a little over three hours after the wrath has been brought into the town. this place has become a ghost town. a few hours ago we were, ourselves, caught up in the middle of what is considered the most powerful typhoon in the world this year. it was hard because at some point we were preparing for a live and all of a sudden the water went up. before we knew it we were by the ceiling, clinging for our lives. it's a miracle we survived. we really need to make our way out of here. there's only destruction and death. it was the world's worst typhoon and the damage for leyte is unprecedented. the governor fears that at least 20,000 people are dead.
5:03 am
and those that survive face difficult days ahead. the province is isolated. thousands of homeless, searching for shelter in the few remaining buildings that are standing. >> translation: we almost drowned. it's difficult. there's nothing left, nowhere to sleep, not even dry clothes to wear. >> translation: we were in the gymnasium, our evacuation center. it collapsed. everyone started to run everywhere to save their own lives. >> reporter: this hospital is one of the few establishments operating after the typhoon. doctors here are working under
5:04 am
strained conditions - operating on the injured without electricity and clear water. the short supply of medicine is running out. most of the areas are unreachable. the dead and wounded cut off from the rest of the world. as night falls, people here become more desperate. the devastation is staggering. the true extent of the damage remains unknown. wayne hay is at the airport at the center of the aid effort to the island. >> scenes of devastation here. really, the city is in disarray. people are wondering around wondering what to do next. in many cases this is sinking in what has happened here when the huge storm swept through here, and the storm surge, the water,
quote
5:05 am
5 metres high, that came with it as well. people still very much in the early days searching for missing friends and family members. people searching for any food and water they can get their hands on. the military has been arriving to the tacloban airport, bringing some supplies. at the moment it is still not enough. the airport where we are is used as a makeshift command center. it's been all but destroyed. the runway, the tarmac is intact. the structures, buildings, the control tower have been damage. it's where the philippine military is basing itself. there's a long line of people here waiting to get their hands on some supplies that the soldiers have been bringing in. >> typhoon haiyan is about to hit vietnam. half a million people have been
5:06 am
ordered to leave their homes. the storm lost some of its strength. people are not taking chances. they are taking what they can, moving out of coastal areas. heavy rain and flooding could pose the biggest risks. let's find out more about the typhoon and the rest of the weather with richard. it's always impossible to estimate the magnitude of the storms. we think the wind was between 306 and 314 k/hr - that's the equivalent of a category 4 tornado. can you imagine being in a major tornado for hour after hour after hour. that's what people had to endure. it's the strongest tropical cyclone. cyclone, typhoon, hurricane. it eclipses hurricane kamil in
5:07 am
1969. the concern is development towards the east. as i run the sequence, you can see typhoon haiyan disappearing behind me. the cloud is developing. it will not develop into a major storm system - let's make that clear. during the course of tuesday, and on into wednesday, we'll see heavy rain coming back again. we could look at 50 to 100mm of rain across central and southern parts of the philippines, it will hinder the rescue and relief efforts. typhoon haiyan, no longer a supertyphoon - it's weakened and is a major system. it's a typhoon with winds of 130 kpm and gusts of 65 kph. it's an issue for shipping across the coast of vietnam and up through to the coast of tong kin. we move to the next 28-48 hours, it will produce copious amounts of rain across vietnam and
5:08 am
china. we'll look at really 200 to 400mm of rain in a region which has seen the last of the rain at this time of the year. it's heading south wards. there's so much rain, there'll be a lot of flooding and damage. the whole area will look at devastation over the coming days. >> thank you. let's hope people have moved out of the danger zone. >> iranian president hassan rouhani describes rain's right to -- iran's right to nuclear energy as a red line. he said everyone acted tact fully during negotiations but diplomats failed to strike a deal. they'll meet in over a week. james bays has more from geneva. >> foreign ministers from seven countries and the european union were here - most clearing their schedules at the last minute because they thought an historic
5:09 am
agreement was close. after talks that dragged on beyond midnight, there was no deal. >> we are on the same wavelength, that is important. that gives us the impetus to go forward when we meet again next time. actually, i think, we had a good three days, very productive three days, and it's something that we can build on and move forward. >> an emphasis on the positive, but behind the scenes annoyance and some blame being directed at one country - it was not iran. the international community was represented at the talks by what is known as the p 5 + 1, the permanent members of the un-security council , and germany. it became the p5 against 1, france , laurent fabius raising objections, a deal that the u.s.
5:10 am
probably was prepared to sign. >> reporter: did the french roou join your -- ruin your deal? >> not at all he told me. >> we worked closely with the french and agreed with the french. we came here with bracketed language. that's the nature of a negotiation. the president repeatedly said we will not rush to an agreement. the president has made it clear that no deal is better than a bad deal. and i think it's good we're going to take the time we are taking to make certain that we are dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s by doing our best to make sure we have agreement so we can look our allies in the face and say that this gets the job down. that's the purpose. >> the provisional date for the next round is november 20th.
5:11 am
there are those in israel, middle east and the gulf and u.s. congress that want to kill off a deal before it's done. there's frustration, but no doubt progress has been made after a decade of wrangling getting this far is an achievement. >> mr shahav is an editor of a paymenter in tehran. is the view that france -- paper in tehran. is the view that france messed things up. >> talks were going well. there was expectation that a deal would be done. because of that the foreign ministers went to geneva to sign the deal and suddenly some pressure scheme and the french
5:12 am
with the pressures - they didn't like the agreements. within 10 days those problems - the westerners promised the iranians that the problem with the french would have a problem and they'd come out with one voice to maybe reach a new deal in 10 days. >> since yesterday we are hearing from iranian officials statements about red lines, not giving up the right to enrichment and so on. how do you see the iranian line evolving now? >> well, most of the issues that the french were writing were to take away the iranian enriched uranium, take them to france and change it to fuel. the iranians were refusing to
5:13 am
take - to give away their enriched uranium. this was the main issue that the french were insisting on it. i think probably if rainiums were to insist on the point of view that enriched uranium is the read line, they may reach a deal with western countries for another way to solve this discussion. >> how easy do you think it will be to pick up talks and momentum in talks? >> well, the main issue that rainiums are talking about is that if the enriched uranium is going to urn it into -- turn into fume, it should be turned into fuel inside iran. if the western countries and the
5:14 am
international community wants to be sure that the enriched uranium has turned into fuel, they can send their inspectors and maybe they can make a joint - a joint venture into turning the enriched uranium into a fuel. >> thank you for your thoughts and analysis on that. >> thank you very much. still to come on the newshour... >> i just want to have my country informed. i hate the idea of the people not having an effective economy. >> ukraine looks to europe for its future. why are they banning chocolate exports. >> in brazil more than 40 tribes are ready for their version of the olympic games and bayern munich breaks records in the
5:15 am
bundize leagua. >> in saudi arabia riot police fought workers protesting against an advisa crackdown. two have been killed and dozens injured. security forces launched a crackdown. hundreds of thousands of foreign workers left the king dom in the past eight months. >> let's speak to the editor in chief of the saudi arabia gaz et english language newspaper. we heard reports of two killed. were authorities two heavy-handed in how it handled the disturbances? >> one was killed and then that was taken back. there was a scuffle. there's an area in riyadh - we
5:16 am
have been receiving reports, we wrote about it also, of some attacks by some saudis who are not with the police. now, remember it refers to people that are overstayers. a lot of labourers are here and they are left in the lump. it is a 2-pronged attack - one to take away the overstayers, and the other to see to it that something should be done to ilim nat the sufferings -- ilim nat the sufferings of those here illegally and at the mercy of those that exploited them. this is what the amnesty was about - to go out and do it. >> should there be a different approach to ending what ush disturbing, that -- you are describing, that workers end up
5:17 am
in scam. some overstay, but the human right watch say some suffer abuses, labour exploitation, slavery-like conditions. perhaps a different approach may be needed. >> i maintained that the system should be reviewed, if not abolished totally. i believe that there is now is sincere move by the department of the ministry of labour to do so. there's so much to do. the problem has been festering for years. a large number of peop people - 7-8 million - different nationalities, language barriers - did something. now they need to check and see what can be done for those that have visas, and overstayer. in certain areas of the king dom people stay for years. it is a cause of concern,
5:18 am
especially with what is going on with people pilfering from neighbouring countries. i agree a review has to be done of the sponsorship systems that nobody and neither the worker should be at the mercy of the sponsor nor the employer. they shouldn't be at the mercy of labourers. >> thank you for your thoughts on that >> a certainly strike has begun in bangladesh where shops have closed and streets empty. the opposition is forcing the government to resign so a caretaker government can organise elections. five opposition leaders were arrested and other homes raided. we have the latest from dakar. >> we are in the middle of a first full day of a nationwide strike in bangladesh.
5:19 am
if you look at the street behind me. it looks bustling now, i can assure you that it is nothing compared to a normal non-strike day. it would be back-to-back cars, buses and motorbikes, and a lot more traffic than you see now. a nationwide strike was called by the opposition party led by the former prime minister. she wants the current sitting prime minister, her opponent, to step down and install a neutral caretaker government in time for elections, which are due to be held in jan. sheikh hasina refused to do that. she has cast iingated the bangladeshi national party, the party as not knowing what democracy is about, and she has
5:20 am
arrested a number of party leaders from the bnp. that rach eted up the situation. there was a lot of attention and still is on the streets of the country fearing that bangladesh is heading to a very serious political rupture. it looks like the grounds for any negotiation have become narrower and narrower to the point where there's little point for compromise between the two rival groupings. it's having a profound effect on the economy and normal people. many people live hand to mouth. they get a day's wage for a day's work. they don't get a pay check-in every two weeks. if they doan work, if there's -- don't work, if there's a strike, they don't get paid and most likely on that day they don't eat. >> to thailand - political groups opposed to each other are
5:21 am
united. they are opposed to an amnesty bill that could help the return of thaksin shinawatra. we have the latest from bangkok >> there is appinger -- anger at the possibility of a bill passing through the party. the people here blame for the deathers of 24 -- deaths of 24 people during street demonstrations at this stop. the amnesty bill [ inaudible ] there are two other demonstrations going on across the city, and they, alone - there are more expected. there's a deterioration and erosion of trust in the government of shin watt ra with the amnesty bill.
5:22 am
this is probably the most serious political crisis faced here so far. the presidential run-off election in the maldives will be hell. the delay was announced. no canned kate won on -- candidate won an outright majority. the run off will be between the first ever democratically elected president and another. >> the former soviet republic of ukraine is looking to europe to secure its economical future. its russian neighbour is not happy with the junion -- junion. nick spicer reports. >> hope for the future now the newly weds are married. happy weddings come with panic and fears. it's the same with ukraine, distruging to meet -- struggling
5:23 am
to meet conditions. it's making a shift west wards after it declared independence g from the soviet union and moscow. >> the important thing is it european values. >> the former economy minister is pushing through legislation to prepare for the association agreement, involving vows to clean up politics, the courts and business. >> i just want to have my country informed. i hate the idea of keeping conservative, effective economy. >> but there's a problem. european union leaders want this woman, the former prime minister, freed. she was sentenced to gaol for corruption in a trial many in the e.u. saw as politically motivated. this is a protest camp outside the courthouse made up of her followers. the expectation is that she'll be released in the coming days, at least for medical treatment in germany. >> the ukrainian president is
5:24 am
under pressure from this man, russian president vladimir putin, he's proposing a customs union with russia. one that has been rejected. vladimir putin behaves now like a jilted lover - surprise safety inspections and banning chocolate et cetera. >> it's so papful for us and that's why they are trying to punish ukraine through the economic measures. >> a growing majority of ukrainians want the deal. if ukrainian bride and european groom go forward, the deal takes effect in jan. the process of reform, like learning to live together, will take years. scientists say they may have made a discovery that could help
5:25 am
the global fight against danky fever. they are hoping to infect mosquito with bacteria from fruit flies. 390 million suffer from break bone fever, which causes joint pain and pounding headaches. there's no vaccine, cure or specific treatment. we have this report that there could be new hope. >> for days this woman has a raging fever. she has danky fever and not much can be done. >> translation: the first day i felt like my body was on fire. it was hot and i was sweating. i'm tired and my body is aching. >> the virus that causes dengy fever is caused by the bite of infected mosquitos.
5:26 am
doctors have looked at ways for mosquitos to not get the virus. they took a vaccine from fruit flies, they appeared to pass a resistance to offspring. >> translation: we are breathing the mosquito, and the second generation will carry the gene. this means they'll adapt to the environment when being released. >> first trials of the dengy resistant mosquito have been trialled off the coast of vietnam. in a few month the resist ants mosquitos have taken over. they outnumber those without the resistance and doctors have noticed a difference. >> translation: danky fever is a serious problem. we have not received patients from the island for more than a year. i think the problem is successful and should be rolled
5:27 am
out to the entire city. >> encouraging results mean the program is likely to be expanded to other parts of vietnam. indonesia is planning its own trials of resistant mosquitos. >> we hope the field trials are successful that we can move to a broader scale implementation and cover the city. >> the broad scale implementation could include dozens of countries and target singapore, where there's over 10,000 cases this year. it's hoped as dengy resistant mosquitos take over, there'll be fewer cases of the disease, improving the lives of hundreds of millions around the world. >> coming up - >> translation: occupation of that chain, and put all the items for sale for the people at a fair price. >> the president of venezuela says consumers are overcharged
5:28 am
5:29 am
5:30 am
there's a trail of destruction across the philippines. half a million people have been ordered to leave their homes and move to safer grounds. weather forecasters warn of rain and flooding. >> after three days of talks in switzerland western doints failed to reach -- diplomats failed to reach with iran clear ambitions. iran's president describes uranium enrichment as a red line that can't be lost. >> it's been 100 days since hassan rouhani took over the presidency. he is to fix the troubled economy and impose relations with the west. the nuclear industry was targeted and key companies, individuals and banks. this marks the beginning of economic decline. the resource-rich country saw oil exports and the value of its
5:31 am
currency collapse. in september 1st u.s. dollar brought 24,000 rain jan rials. half of iran's 75 million live below the property line. we have this report on tehran, on whether hassan rouhani's economic promises to his people are reality. >> this man is out of work, spending two years searching for a job over the iranian capital. he goes to agencies like this, hoping they can help him. he hoped the election of hassan rouhani as president would make things easier. so far the young mechanic had no luck. >> translation: i wanted to work in a car factory. now they are firing their employees, rather than employing people. this impacted the jobs market. let's see what this government does. i'm optimistic it will make
5:32 am
progress. >> since hassan rouhani's election unemployment has dropped by 0.2%. officially 10% of iranians are out of work. that number is so low, because every uranium over the age of 10 who works more than an hour a week is considered employed. analysts say realistically close to 30% of adults do not have jobs. when they find them the costs outweigh the rewards. >> translation: about job opportunities - yes there are some, but it's not properly balanced. we call job seekers saying, "there's a job for someone like you." the first question is about pay. we can't convince people to accept a job at the minimum value because the cost of living and inflation is high. >> inflation is 36%. under the new government that has decreased 5%.
5:33 am
economists blame government mismanagement and sanctions for iran's economic crisis. in the final 18 months of mahmoud ahmadinejad's president say the iranian rial devalued as much as 70% against the u.s. dollar. under the new government the rial stabilized in value but has not improved. blue collar workers say their situations are getting worse, not better. >> translation: the government so supposed to write the minimum salary according to increases, hassan rouhani said he'd may the salary, and he hasn't. 40,000 have written. if he wants changes, we should see it on the table. >> when he took office hassan rouhani warned fixing iranian's economic problems included removing damaging economic sanctions would take time.
5:34 am
economists agree that these problems are far too severe for a quick solution. >> our correspondent joins us live from the iranian capital tehran. are iranians pinning much hope on the geneva talks to turn things around for the country's economy. >> well, of course, that's the issue, it's the commil and how the talks factor in. the biggest issue for rain jans, regarding the nuclear issue is sanctions. damaging on a personal level for the average uranium. sanctions have not only bit into rain's economy and its ability to export oil and do business with the outside world because of the sanctions on the central bank, but it affects businesses in iran and the ability to trade. it means more job losses and
5:35 am
unemployed people in tehran. they wanted the issue resolved. they wanted sanctions removed. it looks like they'll have to wait longer. the talks postponed for over a week. there's optimism with the new president and with the tone of the talks, that that might actually happen. a lot more optimistic than in the past decade. >> what do people thing overall about the first it 100 days in office for hassan rouhani? >> well, reactions really are mixed because there are different factors to take into consideration - talking about foreign policy and the sanctions. in three months the president has managed to make progress and ended 34 years slens between washington and tehran, with the phone call with president obama, a high diplomatic meeting between john kerry and mohammad
5:36 am
javad zarif, the foreign minister, coming within is 100 days of his it presidency. that's more diplomatic progress in 100 days than the last decade, during the entire presidency of mahmoud ahmadinejad. he was the sixth president of iran. regarding foreign policy, positive signs regarding the economy. as we heard there, there's not a lot of positivivity, there's hope but many iranians don't see change regarding the economy. st unfortunate, it's a big issue for them. and one of the reasons they voted for hassan rouhani. economic belief and the strengthening of the rial, lowering of costs and inflation. domestic issues, there has been a lot of political prisoners. human rights lawyers, a prominent figure - leaders of the opposition green movement are under house arrest.
5:37 am
and other people are in prison. students allowed back to university. no restrictions have been lifted on internet censorship or improvement in human rights. a mixed reaction from the iranian people in the first 100 days of hassan rouhani's president say. >> thank you so much. eight members of the basque separatist group eta have been released from prison by a spanish court, set free following a ruling saying spain illegally extended their gaol sentences. the ruling could lead to dozens more being freed. this is one of nine eta members released from gaol, being greeted by his family. he spent 27 years behind bars for assassinations in 1985. he and others have been set free following the release of another member. he was gaoled for 30 years for taking part in 23 violent
5:38 am
attacks including bombings and assassinations in the 1980, she was due for early release in 2008. that decision was quashed, before the court of european rights said it was illegal to hold her in prison. it was violated by retroactive charge. the spanish international court had no choice but to set her free. the conditions to follow the rulings have not been without controversy. organizations have condemned the move. >> for us it has been a terrible - it has been a painful, because we think that this is solidly unfair, and this is an champ of the state. we are very upset. >> 800 people were killed in a campaign by eta before a

ceasefire was declared in 2011. dispute the pressure to keep the members behind bars, 40 other members are expected to be released in the future. unemployment will be a campaign battle ground in the run out to elections. a million are jobless, most young. affirmative action policy is trying to get black people into work. minority groups say they feel ignored. >> this boy has been at school. he can't find full-time work. he washes cars to earn money. >> i'm not working. i should be working. i'm out of school, i'm fresh, fresh-minded. i should be out there doing something. but i'm sheer at home. >> nearly 5 million south africans are jobless. the affirmative policy is trying
5:40 am
to correct imbalances of the past. >> 25-26% are unemployed. the majority of 29.9% deal with the legacy of apart height making black peel without the necessary skills. >> there are people who disagree with affirmative action, feeling that jobs should be given to people with a right qualification. minority groups are worried. this man is of mixed race. the reason he believes his children can't get work. >> people with talent, relevant qualifications who can make tremendous contributions towards our country because of the national demographics, that it should be applicable all over the country.
5:41 am
i hope the government will get to that and stop this racial thing. >> some feel affirmative action helped a few. some members are waiting for their chance to benefit. others in south africa's ethnic groups also want jobs. >> doctors in argentina have given the president clearance to return to work. cristina fernangez de kirchner had a blood cot removed from her brain after falling and knocking her head. while cristina fernangez de kirchner has recuperated political allies face losses in midterm elections. >> venezuela president nicholas madurai says people are being overcharged. he's sent soldiers into stores to order cut prices. >> hundreds of bargain hunters
5:42 am
crowded the store in caracas. it was a regular sale, it was one promoted by the government. >> translation: i ordered the occupation of that chain and put items for sale for the people at a fair price. all products, all of them, nothing in the stores. enough, enough. >> with his country facing mounting shortages president madurai sent the military to stores accused of hiking prices. the stores were forced to reopen with plieses at levels set by the state. this woman welcomed the government's intervention. >> i have been trying to buy a refrigerator for a month. i haven't been able to. they've been expensive. what is happening seems like an exaggeration. >> stoppers took it a step forward, looting a store closedly the military.
