Move to drain out Philippine floodwaters

Flooding caused by torrential rains in the Philippines has brought parts of the capital, Manila, to a standstill.

At least two people are reported dead and some schools and offices have been forced to close.

The government has evacuated shanty towns in Manila in an effort to clear clogged drainage systems that have worsened the floods.
