Typhoon Fung Wong hits Philippines

A review of the week with the latest news.

'Super typhoon' Fung Wong hits the Philippines, as the capital Manila braces for widespread damage. Also in the programme: Indigenous Mexicans demand that France returns an ancient Aztec manuscript; and is it embarrassing for a woman to have a boyfriend?

Joining Paul Henley at studio are the climate change journalist, Laurie Goering, and Tim Judah, The Economist's special correspondent for the Balkans.
