bangladesh -- how local women are overcoming environmental disaster. and oyster farming an senegal -- why rich harvests here aren't just good for the farmers although it's not a very big country, bangladesh is the 9th most populated nation in the world. and the situation is only exacerbated during the annual floods when a third of the country disappears under water. worse still, arable land is eroded or depleted through increasing levels of salt in the soil. in the face of such adversity the organization "centre for global change" is helping local women rebuild their lives. with most men heading to the big cities to look for work, it is up to them to provide for their families. not an easy task, but many are proving that not even the side effects of climate change can stop them. hamida khatun makes a little extra money planting green chilis. she's a housewife with three children. her husband is a seasonal laborer. the soil in this region is too saline, and water is scarce. chilis are one of the few vegetables that grow under these salty conditions. >>

my family moved to bangladesh.nd then my family moved to indonesia before the events in east timor began to erupt. and then my family moved to cairo egypt during the attack on 9/11 and all the while my extended family living here in the states was petrified for my safety, couldn't wait for me to come back to america where it was safe to live. so finally, once i enroll at university at virginia tech in a small southwest virginia town i get put in the most dangerous situation of my entire life here in america. it was that day that started me on this path but it was seeing what happened to me happen to other families that ultimately brought me here today which is why i wanted to invite a symbolic group of 32 for the 32 people killed at virginia tech five years ago today and for the 32 americans we lose every single day. some people here were associated with shootings that you have heard about that were on the front page of the newspaper. and others were shootings that you haven't heard about. so we wanted to take this

the state department has identified five countries, algeria, bangladesh, kenya, pakistan. i particularly want to focus on pakistan where i think it's very important that we reach out for the voice of america, not only in the language but other languages commonly spoken in pakistan. this should not be interpreted as products being sold in los angeles, you wouldn't dream of having your advertising program only be one language. wal-mart is not trying to separate any part of california from the united states but they are trying to sell a product to people that speak a variety of languages. we have captured or killed most of the world's dangerous -- many of the world's dangerous terrorists but we have not been fully successful in the war of ideas and stemming recruitment. i know the creation of the cve program was a priority for ambassador benjamin and i'd like him to come in on this modest program at $15 million and whether it needs to be expanded in either amounts spent in each country or to add more than five priority countries. to defeat terrorists long-term, we must take s

a little further towards the west, bangladesh and northweste northeastern india, remember they were experiencingy heavy rain earlier in the week and lighter showers that lingered so this heavy rain is falling on already saturated land and will increase the landslides and flooding. temperature-wise, low 20s to mid-20s across the region. tokyo e, 21 and 15 in seoul and 15 in yeuland further north and 36 degrees in bangkok, a steamy day and 34 in manila. down in the southern plain, we have another front here, another storm moving towards the west will expand thursday to friday, bringing precipitation to much of the western half of the united states. we even had reports of a tornado touching down in california, which is really quite a rare occurrence. the sierra nevada experiencing more significant winter precipitation, 65 meters additional snowfall thursday to friday accompanied by strong gusts which could certainly make travel dangerous in those mountain passes. as we head towards the east, things are looking nice and clear, however, your overnight will bring freeze warnings and watches. daytime h
