Good evening. It's 4 o'clock. I'm _____ with EZ
News on ICRT.
1. 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.
2. 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.

According to Central Weather Bureau
forecasters, it'll be clear over much of
Taiwan this evening, with lows of 23 or 24 in
the north and south, 22 in the

Tomorrow, expect more sunny skies, though their
may be some clouds in the
south. Highs then will peak at 30 or 31 north
