A week after typhoon Haiyan swept through the central Philippines, thousands of survivors are still desperate for help. A huge international aid effort is gathering pace, but agencies still haven't been able to get supplies through to some areas. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes sent this report from the stricken city of Tacloban. “After weeks of lying in the open, the dead are now being collected placed in body bags and removed for burial. In one district near the airport, the police told us they have picked up more than 100 bodies this morning. It is a grim task. The aid effort is still only just beginning. There is still no large scale food distribution taking place and won't be for several more days. But for the first time in a week, the people of Tacloban are starting to feel as if they haven't been forgotten by the rest of the world.”

Police in Canada say an investigation into child pornography has led to the rescue of nearly 400 children around the world and the arrest of 341 people. The inquiry centred on a film company based in Toronto which allegedly sold DVDs and streamed videos of naked boys. Police say the films were distributed in over 90 countries. The head of the company Brian Way is among those detained. Joanna Beavan-Desjardins heads Toronto's sex crimes unit. “It is alleged that Mr. Way's company had revenues in excess of $4m during the years he was operating. It is also alleged that Mr. way paid people to have children filmed in Eastern European countries in order to produce some of the movies that he would sell online.”
