it's midnight in london and 7am in singapore and the philippines where 29 people, mostly miners and their families, are still missing after a landslide buried their shelter during typhoon mangkhut. three bodies have already been found in the town of itogon but experts on the ground say there is no hope of finding the missing alive. more than sixty—five people across the country are thought to have died in the storm, which is now weakening across southern china. our correspondentjonathan head sent this report. in the end, it wasn't the wind, but the rain that was the real killer. that huge brown gash in the mountain is where an entire waterlogged hillside slid down and buried a building where dozens of miners had taken shelter from the typhoon. for two days, rescuers have battled to find survivors,

clambering over the treacherous mud. they have been unable to bring up heavier excavation equipment because of the damaged roads. so far, only bodies have been recovered. dozens more are believed to be trapped under the mud. they aren't sure exactly how many. relatives have come up to wait for news, clinging to the hope that there may yet be survivors. translation: this is the first time i've seen a landslide this massive. almost everyone here is affected. even the miners are helping the rescuers, the police, everyone is giving their best. small—scale illegal mining is a long—standing problem in the philippines, where poverty is high and jobs are scarce. president duterte has now vowed to stamp it out, but such promises have been made before by filipino leaders to little effect. further north, in areas which bore the brunt of the storm,

they are starting to count the cost. in places, it has been very high, not so much in lives lost, but in damage to homes, crops and infrastructure. the lessons learned from previous typhoons have certainly cut the death toll in this one. filipinos now know to heed official advice to evacuate their homes when a storm is on the way, but the tragedy of the buried miners underlines just how vulnerable this country is to natural disasters. its eroded and deforested hillsides are all too prone to collapse under the weight of heavy rainfall, and they get that all the time during the typhoon season. jonathan head, bbc news, northern philippines. our correspondent howard johnson is in tuguegarao — in the north of the country. life is returning to normal here

this morning. this is one of the hardest—hit provinces this morning. this is one of the ha rdest—hit provinces in this morning. this is one of the hardest—hit provinces in the north of the country. we have seen people opening up street markets, selling food again, tracking down their roots from their homes. we have seen that it roots from their homes. we have seen thatitis roots from their homes. we have seen that it is on the streets cleaned up. the day afterwards we visited a postal town. and during the 50 mile drive we saw at telephone poles have fallen down and forests ripped to shreds. when we got to the coast we met people there whose lives have been destroyed, houses crushed. fortu nately been destroyed, houses crushed. fortunately there were no casualties but this seaboard town had been quite hit by hard wind —— high wind. over 700 buildings had been damaged. there was concern about electricity supplies, about communications, telecommunications were down and food was in short supply that people

we re food was in short supply that people were helping each other out. that is the filipino way, to help one another during these times to become with help from neighbours supporting one another. we have our terms that in the helping each other during times of distress. a 60, 70% of the philippine economy is agriculture and, definitely, the economic cost of this typhoon will be huge to the philippine economy. this is an agricultural province that produces agricultural province that produces a lot of rice and corn, philippine sta ples. a lot of rice and corn, philippine staples. we have seen over the last eight months, consecutive price increases for rice. it has gone up around 10% in the last year and that has hit household budgets hard in the philippines. when we found out the philippines. when we found out the storm was coming, many were worried about what would happen to rice prices. we met many rice

farmers the day before and the storm struck and they were harvesting. the price is that rice —— the worry is the rice prices will rise even further as a result of the typhoon. people in parts of southern china have also faced serious damage and flooding from typhoon mangkhut. these are pictures from the city of taishan in guangdong province, where the water level reached one metre in some places. the floods swept away cars, fallen trees and other debris from the super storm. chinese media have said that as many as 2 and a half million people have been relocated in guangdong province, with at least 4 killed by the typhoon. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. president trump has announced a new round of trade comes with $200 billion on chinese goods. in a statement he warned that if china ta kes a statement he warned that if china takes a teller treat action against us farmers or industry, these

ta riffs us farmers or industry, these tariffs will be imposed with over $260 billion over consumer products such as bicycle helmets, baby car seats are not included. more to come later in the asia business report. further evacuation orders have been issued as storm florence stalls over the us eastern seaboard. the death toll has risen to at least 23, with 17 deaths confirmed in south and north carolina. hundreds of people have been rescued and thousands are still in emergency shelters or without power. chris buckler is at pollocksville, north carolina. here in this part of north carolina, the grey skies have gone and you can see the sun but that does not mean the storm ‘s problems have gone away. if you look behind me you can see that this street has been covered in flood water. this is a river that has broken its banks. a mixture of that and high rainfall, and it has damaged businesses. if

you look beside it will see a house that has had its front door breached by the height of this water. and that caused the huge amount of damage inside and destroyed peoples possessions. that is a worry going forward. the reality is, you can clear a ll forward. the reality is, you can clear all these branches, as they have done, that came down during the high wind, but it is the water dumped by the storm that is continuing to cause problems. further up the street and yes, it is the street, we saw somebody being rescued a short time ago. someone who had decided to stay inside their house and ultimately had become trapped in there. the first floor had filled with water and while they had filled with water and while they had moved their possessions upstairs, the truth was they were unable to get out. also making news this hour — russia and turkey have agreed to create a demilitarised buffer zone in idlib in syria in order to separate government forces from the rebels. the province is the syrian opposition‘s last major stronghold and it's almost completely surrounded by syrian government

south korean leader in over a decade to visit the north korean capital pyongyang. he's travelling with a delegation of 200 people from seoul including k—pop stars and business executives. there's hope president moon will restart stalled talks on north korea nuclear disarmament. our seoul correspondent laura bicker has been speaking to two south koreans who have very different views of these talks with the north. lets get more on this. andray abrahamian is from the griffith asia institute in australia, who's recently come back from north korea. hejoins me now from seoul. welcome to the programme. you spent 11 days in north korea, you must have spoken to quite a few people. did any tell you how they would felt about their leader and his policies at the moment? i think, overall, north koreans view the process the

way most of us in the rest of the world a re way most of us in the rest of the world are looking at it as well. that is with considerable excitement at the beginning of the year with the prospect of real change at then as the months have dragged on without any breakthrough, a little bit of cynicism and worry that, you know, it is something that we have seen before. that sentiment was something i heard pyongyang, you hear it in the south korean capital as well. are serious to using north korea is about denuclearisation? well... that is, in essence, a problem for later. i do think it is difficult to imagine them completely denuclearising, it is certainly difficult to imagine without some sort of peace regime and radically different relationship with the united states. for now, moonjae—in is concerned with just getting the dprk in north korea and the united states into the peace process. the

focus now is on the entry point. worked as north korea have to do to get the us to agree to a peace declaration and then the difficult negotiations about denuclearisation and what a peace regime looks like can begin. we hope to bring our viewers pictures that we have coming into was here. this is live in seoul at the airbase where president moon jae—in will be leaving to board that flight jae—in will be leaving to board that flight that you can see they are, heading for pyongyang. it is the first visit in over ten years by a south korean president to the capital of north korea for those talks with tim donlon. let's stay with these pictures but as it were saying, the focus will be on whether oi’ saying, the focus will be on whether or not president moonjae—in will be able restart the talks and get some kind of concrete action from kim jong—un. how optimistic are you that that will be the case?” jong—un. how optimistic are you that that will be the case? i am fairly optimistic. i do not think it would be planning such a dramatic

optically exciting trip with a huge delegation if he was not quite certain that he would be coming back with something. i think he needs to come back with two things. one is for the american audience, to say listen, if we declare peace on the north koreans will immediately do x, yand z. north koreans will immediately do x, y and z. he also needs to think carefully about his south korean audience. fatigue has set in since this comment in april which was, by most accounts, quite exciting. —— since the summit in april. he now need something to get the public here excited again. otherwise, you know, he faces challenges with his domestic agenda and the breakthrough here could really help boost his popularity at home as well. think for talking to us. i'm sure you have a bit ofjetlag but thank you for joining us. this is the scene now

where president moonjae—in will be boarding the plane that will take the north korean capital of pyongyang for those talks with the north korean leader, kimjong—un. the first visit by a south korean leaderfor ten years, the first visit by a south korean leader for ten years, crossing the border. you may remember hearing a few months ago, in singapore, when kim jong—un met with donald few months ago, in singapore, when kimjong—un met with donald trump, that moonjae—in said it was the start of a significant step towards denuclearisation on the korean peninsula. those talks have stalled since then but this triggers an effort to restart that and we will see what happens in the coming days. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: game of thrones is back at the emmys — will it be a clean sweep for the series? we'll get more from la. 30 hours after the earthquake that devastated mexico city,

welcome back. this is newday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. thanks forjoining us. i'm babita sharma in london. our top stories: rescue workers in the philippines are searching for dozens of miners and their families buried by landslides during typhoon mangkhut. south korean president moon jae—in is hoping to salvage stalled nuclear negotiations between north korea and the us during a summit with kimjong—un in pyongyang. osteoporosis affects 500 million people around the world, making their bones weak and fragile. it can be so serious that even a cough can cause a fracture. the elderly — particularly women — are most at risk. that poses a problem here in asia,

where the number of people over 65 is expected to triple by the year 2050. joining me now in the studio is cyrus cooper, the president of the international osteoporosis foundation. he is in singapore for a talk at visits us from london. they give are joining us, doctor. first of all, why our women most at risk? the principle reason that women are at increased risk is that time of the menopause, the ovary reduces its secretion of oestrogen and that results in more rapid bone loss so osteoporosis related fractures a much more common in women than they are in elderly men. does that happen for women also at the advanced age of 65 or can it be at a younger rage? the earliest age at which you see the diversions between fracture rates in men and women is from age

50, which is the approximate age of the menopause but that widens as you get to older above 65. what about for men? when is the greatest risk? for men, fracture risk rises smoothly with age, so the older mail is also at greater risk than the younger mail. how can this risk be reduced? it's really important to recognise in terms of a previous history of fracture and one of the global initiative is being undertaken, known as capture the fracture, identifies the person who has had a fracture, identifies the risk factors and looks at bone density with a scan and determines whether they warrant treatment. example, here in singapore, a wonderful fracture liaison service has been established at the general hospital. what must we eat or drink

to be able to stop this osteoporosis from affecting us? diet and exercise are the two principal preventive measures. in terms of diet, attention to calcium nutrition and vitamin beast ate as are the most important. calcium nutrition is particularly important here in the asia—pacific region because traditionally, the diet is relatively low in those dairy products which give us our calcium. absolutely. tell us, doctor, how is the treatment of osteoporosis —— how has the treatment of osteoporosis evolved over the last few decades? this has been a tremendous advance over the last few decades, from the disorder like grey here or thin—skinned, something you can do nothing about, we now have assessment of risk and a series of drug treatments ranging from all treatment, tablets once a week,

intravenous treatments and subcutaneous injections, all of which reduce fracture risk by 50%. thank you so much fresher sharing with us your research. doctor cyrus cooper, and osteoporosis expert. america's biggest night of television is here. the 70th annual emmy awards gets underway in los angeles in less than an hours' time. and a—listers have already begun their walk down the red carpet. this year's ceremony will be hosted by saturday night live stars, michael che and colin jost, on an evening where digs about the us president, donald trump and other topical issues are expected to feature. peter bowes is in los angeles for us. i asked him who will steal the show tonight. well, i think game of thrones is certainly the juggernaut in television these days. 22 nominations and interestingly, not eligible for an award last year because of the timing of the release of the last season so it's back again this year and has one in seven of those categories at the creative

and use all the technical awards that were handed outlast weekend so it is already doing well and although game of thrones has some strong competition, the handmaid's tale, the big winner last year, this dystopian fantasy based on the margaret atwood novel although the season in contention was actually written for television and not based on the original novel and some have said it's perhaps a bit too dark and difficult to watch. that said, it still a serious contender best drama, as is elizabeth moss, one of the stars of the show. the other one to point out serious contention is the crown, and nominated for playing the crown, and nominated for playing the queen again is claire foy, and they are changing the cast of that show as the queen gets older server might be some feeling in that she and the show deserves awards for what they've achieved. the best

actress category in drama, some records could be broken tonight as well? we're at sandra oh, the actress probably best known for g rays actress probably best known for grays anatomy, she's been nominated foran emmy grays anatomy, she's been nominated for an emmy several times but she is ina new for an emmy several times but she is in a new show called killing eve and if she wins, she will be the first actress of asian descent to winter that category and a lot of people think it is high time she won an award, she is one of the major stars of television these days. killing eve was a bbc produced show first shown in the united states and being screened around the world. peter, also looking that this might be the first year that streaming has overta ken first year that streaming has overtaken the traditional tv and our little humble sat at home. lots being said about that and television moving forward. things are moving rapidly, it's only five years since netflix had its first emmy nomination and now leads the pack,

more than the big broadcasters, represented by a0 different tv shows that netflix has nominations for but one of the best known is stranger things that many of the best—known shows in top graphic —— categories by netflix, and hulu and other services and it demonstrates that we are living through what a lot of people are describing as the new golden age of television. those awards get under way in half an hour. stay with us. hello. the jetstream hello. thejetstream targets the uk with a proper taste of automotive next few days. several areas of low pressure moving through. the first on tuesday, the remnants of ex— hurricane helene. storm helene is coming in and the winds blow this

will be strengthening as tuesday begins. another area of low pressure into wednesday as well suffer the next few days, some strong, possibly disruptive wins so keep in touch with the situation in your part of the world. through bbc local radio because there could well be some impact on travel. the yellow, a met office warning area, be aware of some impacts during tuesday. some of the strongest winds through coastal and hilly areas to the west of wales and hilly areas to the west of wales and western england but it is going to be very below we start off the day in that part of the world, some rain, heavy rain around the western parts of scotland in particular as tuesday begins with a mild, even warm start because the air is coming in from the south, south—west and there is warmth associated with that. outbreaks clearing northwards into the morning and its drive for a time, broken cloud and sunny spells and heavy showers arriving from the west towards the end of the afternoon and going into the evening. with established its a

very blustery day across the uk but some warmth again, we see some sunshine, particularly through the east and south—east of england, 2a, 25 could be yours but many of us in the high teens and low 20s. the wind strengthens into tuesday evening and night across northern ireland scotland. we see this weather front moving east across the uk, not much in the far south of england but further north, heavier and thundery downpours out about, becoming dry during the second half of the night and again, temperatures holding up into double figures as wednesday begins. the next area of low pressure into wednesday, the concern about this is that it will produce even stronger winds. a very windy day across the uk across wednesday, gusts around a0, 50 miles per hour but some of them will be strongest through parts of wales, northern england, northern ireland scotland and into western scotland, up 75 miles per hour so again, that risk
