Good evening. It's 5 o'clock. I'm Alice with EZ News on ICRT.

  Typhoon

The strongest typhoon this year slammed into the central Philippines today. The storm set off landslides and knocked out power and communication lines in several provinces. At least four people died. Nearly 720 thousand people were forced to evacuate before Typhoon Haiyan's arrival. Due to cut-off communication, it was impossible to know the extent of casualties and damage.

Russia

Russia's Foreign Ministry says Syria's main Western-backed opposition group is refusing to participate in talks in Moscow. A ministry spokesman says the Syrian National Coalition is ''blocking and refusing to participate'' in the talks, which would focus on resolving the humanitarian crisis in Syria. Russian officials had hoped the talks would bolster prospects for a proposed peace conference the U.S. and Russia are trying to convene in Geneva.
