Typhoon Haiyan

Typhoon Haiyan is the typhoon that swept across the Philippines which has left at least four million people struggling for shelter, clean water and food. The typhoon has killed 255 people but it is likely that it has killed around 10,000 others too. Winds of over 200 miles per hour were recorded there. 

The head of charity Red Cross there, Richard Gordon said: "There's an awful lot of casualties... a lot of destruction,"

"It's absolute bedlam right now, but hopefully it will turn out better as more and more supplies get into the area."

He said roads had now been cleared to allow relief workers to get to the hardest hit areas, but that they expected to find many more casualties.

"It's only now that they were able to get in and we're beginning just to bring in the necessary food items... as well as water and other things that they need."

The typhoon is now heading for Vietnam and over 600,000 people have been evacuated from the country as a safety precaution.However, the storm is posing less of a threat

Armistace Day/ Remembrance Day

Today is the day we remember all the heroic soldiers that died in the trauma of the first and second world war. We also remember all the families who have lost loved ones to war.

Here is the famous In Flanders Field poem written by John McCrae that helps us remember what it was like:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

 

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The Olympic Torch Arrives in Russia

On Sunday the 6^th October the Olympic torch arrived in Russia for the Winter Olympics 2014.

The Winter Olympics start next February in Sochi and it is the first time the flame has been in Russia. The flame will take 123 days to cross 65,000km by 14,000 torch bearers. The torch’s journey will even include a trip into space, a trip to the North Pole on an atomic-powered icebreaker and ascend the highest peak in Europe, Mount Elbrus!

The torch was lit in Greece by the sun’s rays.

The Sochi 2014 President Dmitry Chernyshenko said “Russia, for the first time in history, received one of the most important, well-known symbols in the world – the Olympic Flame.

We are proud that our Russian torch relay will be unique.”
