Typhoon Vamco: Thousands evacuate as storm heads for Vietnam

A powerful storm that killed dozens of people in the Philippines is now heading towards Vietnam, forcing tens of thousands to leave their homes.

Typhoon Vamco is expected to make landfall in eastern Vietnam on Sunday.

Airports and beaches have been closed and fishermen told to return to land as the country braces for winds of up to 100km/h (60m/h).

The storm caused flooding and landslides in the Philippines' largest island Luzon.

At least 42 people died and 20 others are missing in the Philippines after Typhoon Vamco hit on Wednesday, just one week after Goni, the most powerful typhoon seen in the country in seven years.
