Deadly typhoon cuts power across northern Philippines

The first typhoon of the season has hit the Philippines with unexpected force, killing at least 22 people and left millions without power.
Typhoon Conson hit north-east Quezon province and the central island of Luzon, and surged through the capital and six other provinces.
President Benigno Aquino criticised weather forecasters who failed to predict the storm would hit Manila.
The Asian typhoon season often hits the Philippines with greatest force.
Twelve people were reported injured and 57 are thought to be missing after the storm which had winds of 120km/h (75mph).
