 Stories of survival and acts of desperation in a country of reeling from natural disaster. An official from one relief organization described the situation in the Philippines as hideous. First, we bring you some perspectives on this. This gives you a comparison between typhoon Haiyan and hurricane Katrina. Katrina has been called the worst natural disaster in US history. Haiyan is bigger. It might be the strongest cyclone ever. Too early there for scientists to know for sure. Here's the look at typhoon from space. The winds and the storm surge from Haiyan flattered more than 20,000 homes. 800,000 people were forced out of their homes. Now, survivors are dealing with another storm. It's not a strong one but it's making it hard for relief workers to get aids to victims. We are hearing some of the stories from survivors of the storm. The family in this video punched holes in their ceiling as water rushed into their home. Then, they climbed up to the 2nd floor to avoid being swept away. In this video you can see them sitting up in the rafters as the waters flows by underneath them. For many victims of typhoon Haiyan, the focus is now on survival that means searching for food. Sometimes, walking past or over what remains of their homes in order to find something to eat. Dozens of countries' organizations are sending help or promised help. If you are 13 or older, you could go to our home page and find "impact your world" link. That would give you some ideas about these relief efforts and how you might be able to get involved. It's time to check in with some of our reporters to hear about few different stories from a few different spots around the world. We are going to head to the Middle East for some reaction to nuclear negotiations, then some natural training in Asia for animals they don't live in the wild. We are starting in Europe with the memorial service for a military veteran. 

 
In England yesterday, hundreds attended a funeral of a veteran they have never met. 99-year-old H. died a single man. No friends, no family. For a while, it looked as though as War World II veteran would be buried alone and forgotten. That is until his funeral home posted an ad in a local paper, asking military personnel to attend. The ad made its way to the Internet and the response was overwhelming. Some traveled hundreds of miles to be able to get H. a funeral fit for veteran of the 2nd World War.
 
Many Iranians very disappointed that the deal wasn't reached in the nuclear talks in Geneva over the weekend It's, perhaps, Iranian people who would gain the most with an agreement because it would probably help ease some of the sanctions they've suffered through for years. It's not clear exactly why a deal wasn't reached but it's being wildly viewed in Iran that at least one of the spoilers was France. There are reports Iran offered to suspend uranium reached in 20% which would seemly make it impossible for them to make the fuel necessary for a bomb but there're speculations that France demanded more. All sides back in Geneva next week to try again.
 
It's training time for more than a dozen pandas born in captivity in South West China. Workers teaching them how to climb trees, giving them a tickle on the tummy for p. training and also making sure they get enough food every day. There is also nap time, of course, on the lawn. It's been a baby boom of pandas this year in China, but with just over 1500 pandas left in the wild. They need to make sure each one of these little fury creatures grown up and become strong.
