 A change to its population policy for  the world’s most populated country. That’s where we start this new week on CNN student news. 

 
China introduced its so called one-child policy in the late 1970s. It has been credited with helping to control china’s population growth. It has also been criticized for forcing parents to make difficult personal choices or in some cases face huge fines. The policy says that in urban areas parents could only have one child and of course there were some exceptions. The new rule says that if either parent is an only child then they are eligible to have two children of their own. One reason for the change: economics. In China, many people care for  their elder relatives. So the single child could end up being financially responsible for their parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that. Another reason China says it wants to improve human rights. That is also why, it says, it is getting rid of its labor cuts. Since 1957, Chinese authority can hold people with these cans without a trial. Now China’s governments are expected to shut the cuts down now. 
 
In the Philippines, some the people have not had shelter or electricity  for more than a week since typhoon Haiyan slammed into the island nation. Watch this, you are going to see a wall of water come rushing in. That was the storm surge from Haiyan. The sea water that comes rushing onto shore. Officials say with storms like this, typhoons and hurricanes, storm surges are usually the biggest threat of property. Many Philippines are in desperate need for food and supplies. The US, UK, and other countries, are part of the relief efforts. Now some of that aid is finally reaching to victims. 
 
In middle of chaos lasting a week or so, there are signs now that the relief operation could be on the way in earnest. For about three hours now, line has been forming now several hundreds meters long of people that have from different surrounding areas. Some of them walk up for an hour. They say they have to walk because of bus fares transport fares have increased five folds in some cases. And they are coming now for the first time to receive some food aid. 
A developing story when we putting show yesterday. Severe weathers are ripping through part of the middle west of the US. One meteorologist says 26 states and more than a hundred million people could have been affected. In northern Indiana, National weather service sends out this message. The worst decision you could make today is to ignore a severe or tornado warning. The storm will be nasty. You can see why in some of this videos winds got up to  86 miles an hour in some spots. Nearly 50, five zero, 50 tornadoes were reported on Sunday afternoon. At least 1 person was killed as a result of the severe weather and the storm left behind extensive damage. A  storm chaser told CNN that the storm was moving so fast that it was hard for him and his crew to keep up.
