Good friday morning. Going to get right to it now. A giant storm, bearing down on the philippines this morning. Ripping through the vulnerable islands with deadly force. Its being called a supertyphoon. One of the most powerful on the planet. Winds have toppled 200 miles an hour. And the storm is far from over. We begin with abcs dan harris.

Good wednesday morning, everyone. The sentencing phase beginning today for a contentious case that involves an army private accused of being a traitor. Yesterday, a military judge found Bradley Manning guilty of releasing classified information, which eventually found its way into terrorists hands. He was found not guilty of even more serious charges. Abcs devin dwyer is live for us in washington to explain. Good morning, devin. Reporter good morning, diana and john. Thats right. Manning was found guilty on 20 of 22 charges against him. But prosecutors were unable to prove that manning was intending to help al qaeda or had general evil intent. He was behind the biggest leak of classified information in u. S. History. 25yearold army private Bradley Manning, now convicted of espionage, theft and computer fraud. Today, manning begins to make his case that he shouldnt spend the rest of his life behind bars. I think hes looking at a very substantial sentence. Possibly in the double digits.
