Tropical Storm Haiyan, which killed thousands as a typhoon in the Philippines, has made landfall in north Vietnam, near the China border.

It still carried gusts of up to 157km/h (98 mph) as it arrived close to the Ha Long Bay tourist destination.

Some 600,000 people have been evacuated from at-risk regions in Vietnam and reports say 11 people have been killed.

China issued a typhoon alert for Hainan island, Guangdong and Guangxi after Haiyan's path changed.
