BBC World Service - Newshour, Over 2 Million Displaced in China as Typhoon Hits

Nearly 2.5 million people have been moved in Guangdong because of Typhoon Mangkhut

Nearly 2.5 million people have been moved from their homes in the Chinese province of Guangdong, which is being buffeted by Asia's strongest typhoon this year. 

Also in the programme, the governor of North Carolina in the United States has warned of what he called a "rising risk to life", following floods triggered by record amounts of rain.
