Typhoon Koppu leads 11 dead

At least 11 people are dead after a typhoon in the Philippines forced more than 65,000 villagers from their homes.

Army, police, and civilian volunteers rushed to rescue hundreds of villagers who had been trapped in their flooded homes and on rooftops in the northern Philippine province of Aurora, which was battered by the slow-moving Typhoon Koppu.

The typhoon blew ashore with fierce wind and heavy rains early on Sunday, leaving nine provinces without electricity.
