early 1980s. this contributed to the country's plunge into recession but it's subsequent recovery. thank you for being part of my program this week. hill l hello everyone. 10,000 people are feared dead from super typhoon haiyan. and one of the daughters of that utah doctor convicted of murder speaks out to cnn. alex summers reveals why she knew her father killed her mother. and richy incognito goes on the offensive.

we'll have his side of the scandal coming up. we begin in the philippines where the loss of life from a monster storm has hit a staggering number. 10,000 people are feared dead. turning homes into rubble and turning homes into entire commutes. bodies are littering the streets. medical supplies are running out. president toured some of the hardest hit areas today. he is facing growing outrage over the government's slow response to that disaster. he is blaming a brooke anderseie

local level. people prayed as the winds howled outside. cnn producer tim schwartz and andrew stephens helped rescue people trapped in hotel rooms and used mattresses to push them to safety in waste high flood water and then they went back to covering the storm. we turn now to andrew for the latest developments. >> reporter: it struck with terrifying and deadly force. the aftermath, the city's ch shattered landscape. it was not the wind that did it. it was the storm surge.

water that engulfed the coast al strip. the crew was sheltering from the shore line. all around us you hear the sounds of the winds breaking and the large objects crashing and falling to the floor and it is a deluge. the staircase behind me is a water fall. but that didn't compare with what happened here. we are 100 meters from the water here and you can see the damage caused to these houses. these are all rough built houses flattened along the edge. thousands of people live along a stretch of kilometers. you can see behind me just how bad it must have been.

authorities have pleaded with people to leave. many did, but many stayed. these fan was searching for his father, brothers and uncles. we all tried to leave but it was too late. i got separated when the water started rision. i don't know what happened to them. the devastation across the city of 200,000 people is widespread. winds upwards of 250 kilometers an hour leaving a trail of destruction. this is now a city on edge. no pow per, food and water running out and medical supplied almost gone. one hospital is the only functioning medical facility in the city. they can't admit anymore patients there is no room just first aid in the most difficult conditions. >> we hardly have anything left

to help people with. we have to get supplies in immediately. a block away from the hospital the desperate search for food and water lead to looting. as you can see the crowds have been forming around the stores taking anything they can. air conditioning units, plastic toys anything is coming out of the stores. people are climbing up to get to the second floor of a department store to get what they can. it took a full day before help arrived. the response so far has not been nearly enough. this was nature at it's most frightening. a display of force that has smashed the lives of so many people. there is just one city. there are towns up and down the coast where authorities are still waiting to hear from.

relief supplies are still coming in. it has been three days now since the storm hit. when you see the extent of the destruction here you get a sense of the monumental rebuilding task that is facing officials here. >> horrible situation. thank you so much andrew. here in the u.s. some fill pino americans are trying to reach their loved ones in the storm zone but haven't been able to get through. they are in new york what are they doing? how are they holding up? >> the death toll keeps rising while the wait for word from loves ones keeps going. they are hoping friends and family members are just without access to communication. >> it is too disturbing and i

know most of the houses that were destroyed in the country. the houses, we are not really -- we are worried. they need our help. it is disturbing and really hurts. >> here in new york city, in the heart of a large filipino community the church is home to 500 families. their prayers are with those who were in the path of the storm and they still have no idea who survived or what has been lost. it is going to take days or weeks before the full impact of this is felt in the community. parishioners are focused on making contact with the people. the church will raise money for

a massive relief effort. >> all right so where is that storm headed next? we'll get an update on that in a few minutes. agencies are mobilizing to help the victims in anyway they can. to find out where to go, cnn.comcnn.co cnn.co cnn.com/impact has more for you. richy incognito opened up to jay blazer about his relationship with jonathan martin. he insisted that the two were friends and never meant to hurt him. he wished that he had known how martin felt. >> john never showed signs that football is getting to him, the lockerroom was getting to him. my actions were coming from a place of love. no matter how bad and how vulgar it sounted that is how we

communicate that is how our friendship was. those are the facts and that is how i'm accountable for. some texts seem to back up incognito's story. police in houston are looking for someone who fired on a birthday party. 22 people were injured. 100 people were at that party. witnesses say they were running for their lives when they heard the gunshots. three days of talks over iran's nuclear program ended with no deal but hope that an agreement is possible. they will meet again in ten days. iran has been under crippling sanctions since 2006. more sanctions may be needed and that he will be pushing for that very thing.

this week. all right people who survived the deadly typhoon are simply lucky to be alive. now they want to get out. one woman says it is worse than hell. we'll hear from more next.

so, you know i think we need to get ourself refocused on that and sometimes we forget that candidates matter. it is not just about a checklist of issues. it is about how a person presents themselves as a candidate, how they articulate their view on things and how they react to issues. people make judgements on all of those things. >> he asked him if he had advice for president obama on issues with the affordable care act. >> don't be so cute. if you made a mistake admit it. if he was mistaken, then just admit it to people. i said it, i was wrong i'm sorry and we are going to try to fix

chinese labor camp inmate, smuggled level letters into halloween decorations. woman in oregon found a letter sent from china. we connect the dots. >> reporter: damascus, oregon outside portland. halloween decorations mostly put away now. but at this house halloween brings powerful memories. opening a pack of totally ghooled tombstones now, the letter began with a cry for help, sir, if you -ization ali buy this product resend this letter to the world human rights organization. the letter writer said he was an inmate making the deck core

rations in a prison camp in china. at first she thought it was a hoax and then she found the camp on the web. >> it slammed me in the face. >> the letter tucked away in a halloween toy made it 6,000 mile to oregon. from one of the most feared labor camps in china, the ruling communist party has long used reeducation camps like this to jail crimmi iainals and religio offenders. we searched for the prisoner who wrote the letter. he had been out of jail for a year. we hid his identity because he is afraid of being sent back. >> in the camp itself what was it like for you?

>> for people who have never been to the camp, it is impossible to imagine. the first thing they do is to take your human dignity away and humiliate you. >> he says he was arrested before the beijing olympics in 2008 for following the out lawed spiritual movement. he was sent to the camp. >> they follow a pros sprocess where theyen slave you. >> political prisoners got the worst of it. >> when he got the chance to work it was a relief. >> i believe we could protect our selves and avoid verbal assaults as long as we were

doing the work and did it well. >> behind this fence and over this wall there is a where house where he says he worked up to 12 hours a day k making the products. he saw that the writing was in english so that he believed that he could get a message out to the west but it would be dangerous work. he stole pages from exercise books and made friends with a crim kal winal who got him a pe. i hid it in a hollow space, a secret place as i couldn't keep it with me. i only got the time to write late at night when everyone had fallen asleep. i wrote with the pen lying on my side. it took me three day to finish one letter. he said he slipped 20 letters into the packaging.

not expected any to get out and somehow one did. the decorations ended up at k-mart. >> i did think of his safety and what risks he took to do this. when she put the letter on facebook it became global news spreading back to beijing now released. he told us he wanted to survive to tell the truth. now we saw guard towers and some buildings seemed empty. it appears to be closing but officials would not respond to our quiries. >> he was able to thank her in a new letter but dared not talk to her on the phone. >> china is a big labor camp. >> it has monitored everywhere

in this country. i'm grateful to her and i wish her the best. she has a sense of justice. >> david mckenzie cnn beijing. >> we asked ck-mart's parent company and they said they found no evidence that it was subject to a labor campp. they refused to comment on the story and those allegations. no one really knows how many labor camp products have made it to the u.s. if any. one group told congress in 2008 there could be hundreds of camp producing goods for export. we have a lot more straight ahead here in the news room and it all starts right now. p
