Taiwan has suspended air, rail and ferry services and halted classes and outdoor events, with workers urged to stay at home as the island prepares for the arrival of Typhoon Haikui.

The storm’s approach comes as Typhoon Saola continues to weaken while moving along the Chinese coast, where 900,000 people and 80,000 fishing vessels had been moved to safety and most of Hong Kong and parts of the coastal mainland closed down businesses, transport and schools.
