Authorities in the Philippines are bracing for the arrival of Typhoon Haiyan, which is expected to strike central parts of the country on Friday.
The category five storm is moving towards the South East Asian nation with winds of up to 278 km/h (173mph).
Haiyan - known as Yolanda in the Philippines - is the strongest storm to hit the Pacific this year.
Schools and offices have already been closed in the region and thousands of people are being evacuated.
