Yahoo Mail Account Hacked

My Yahoo Mail account has been hacked apparently I'm in Turkey and have been mugged, had my passport stolen and need money fast!
Seriousl though I now don't seem to be able to get into Yahoo to change my password. I go to the yahoo.co.uk and the opening page comes up with the Hi Kevin greeting but if I click on Mail it automatically switches to the sign in page gives me my username and asks for my password - needless to say I'm a bit concerned. What should I do?
If I go to the like of the News or Sports page then I get the same invitation to sign in except the following message is displayed 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at uk.adserver.yahoo.com'.
Tried accessing my account on my mobile using my data plan rather than wi-fi again get to the log in section and when I enter my username and password it takes me to a page where I'm invited to change my password. Again I'm a little hesitent.
