TOPSHOTS Students take part in a pro-European rally in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on November 28, 2013. An EU summit to cap years of effort to bring ex-Soviet states into the Western fold opens with its ambitions dented on November 28 after Ukraine, the biggest prize, balked at the last moment under Russian pressure. Kiev's surprise decision to scrap a landmark political and trade accord with the European Union just days before has set off a war of words between East and West reminiscent of the Cold War and sparked some of the biggest protests in Ukraine in a decade.

LEYTE, PHILIPPINES - NOVEMBER 19: A young man walks through debris with a broken guitar towards a tanker where he is sleeping in a particularly badly damaged part of Tacloban on November 19, 2013 in Leyte, Philippines. Several families who lost their homes to the tanker as it ran aground have set up temporary accommodation in the ship itself. Typhoon Haiyan which ripped through Philippines over the weekend has been described as on of the most powerful typhoons ever to hit land, leaving thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless. Countries all over the world have pledged relief aid to help support those affected by the typhoon however damage to the airport and roads have made moving the aid into the most affected areas very difficult. With dead bodies left out in the open air and very limited food, water and shelter, health concerns are growing. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

Staying afloat after Typhoon Haiyan

A cluster of people in the typhoon-devastated Philippine city of Tacloban have moved into their new home: a large boat swept by the storm into their former neighborhood.
