that's going to cool down and looking at bismarck at 23 degrees that's down from the 30s on your tuesday. out here across eastern continental asia we are still talking about the stationary boundary living up to its name. it will be lingering here for quite some time. today not so much compared to yesterday, about 60 to 75 millimeters of rainfall, but that's enough to cause more severe flooding concerns and on top of that, into tomorrow, it's -- you're likely to see about 130 millimeters on top of that. so it's not really going anywhere, and it is also impacting southern kyushu, up to 150 millimeters of additional rainfall could certainly be enough to trigger flooding out here. but the rest of the country is looking at some high pressure system predominant and the temperatures will be reaching into the high 20s, 28 degrees, it's going to be a lovely day for you to do your laundry, a break from that rainy season here in tokyo. seoul reaching up to 32 degrees, and a lot of thunderstorms will be flaring up in and around beijing. out here across the arabian sea we are looking at this cyclonic

a bismarck native, he was born december 29, 1942. he served as a captain in the marine corps flying helicopters. he was 26 years old when he died on february 7, 1969. he played the french horn in hand while attending bismarck high school. he later attended bismarck junior college and the university of north dakota where he earned a degree in accounting. ernie's sister jan said that he liked to have fun and had a good sense of humor. he and his dad enjoyed hunting and fishing together as often as they could. ery was killed when the helicopter he was flying on an emergency medical evacuation mission was shot down and crashed. the only survivor of that crash spoke with jan and explained that ernie's calm and collected manner was the reason that survivor was able to live. and that ernie was highly respected by his fellow marines. paul char nets i can. paul was -- paul charnetzki. he served in the military assistance command. paul was 31 years old when he died on february 7, 1968. paul left behind his wife and five sons. one son also name

heavy rain swamped parts of bismarck north dakota. the same storm packed wind gusts up to 82 miles per hour. that storm system is now racing across the country in our direction. brittney is tracking that and we could be seeing quite a bit of rain, right? >> that's right. anywhere between 1 to 3 inches and that is going to cause flooding. that's the concern. our entire area is in a flood watch from 8:00 p.m. tonight to 8:00 p.m. tomorrow. mostly cloudy skies there at cape may. want to point out the top story is the first alert which was issued yesterday. and basically what that means is we are alerting you to all the heavy rain moving in plus the flood watch. street and creek flooding is expected as we head into the overnight hours heading into tomorrow. there's the flood watch. 1 to 3 inches. flooding a concern. tropical depression bill spinning there over cincinnati just to the south of cleveland. remnants of that tropical depression are going to make its way towards us as we head into tonight. so in allentown now, a few scattered sh

i can't recall winston churchill or bismarck ever standing up and saying hey, the world had a miss worldpetition and i came first in the swimsuit round. it's pathetic. but it also neglects the fact that that ranking is as much as anything a measure of american irrelevance in the world. as you mentioned all the arab countries, the saudis and the gulf monarchies who are now israel's best friend. the foreign ministers of the gulf states and saudi arabia are on the phone to israel every night because they know they're having to go it alone in the post-american world. czechs pols baltic states are beginning to get that message. out in the south china sea they're beginning to get that miss message. it's easy to win the miss congeniality award when you're doing nothing. the other recent poll for global respect was the bbc one and the number one country was germany and the number two country was canada. if you become irrelevant to global affairs in the way germany has been in the last 60 years, it's not -- and the way america has gone in the last six years, then it's easy to be miss congeniality

for a arms race that fear and respect for a rival cause and whether this is the building of the bismarck that's what happens international tension can stem from respect and fear. in this case, however what we see are people doing things that they're not supposed to be doing. that we have said whatever you do don't do this, china and china says, yeah, we'll get back to you. and we say whatever you do, russia don't go in there, and they go in there and we say hey, syria no check weapons and they get it, so this not the escalation that take place inside the construct of a arms race but instead are people testing the limits of a world that doesn't seem to have an order to it? . stuart: there's another development today. it's about the clinton foundation. it has a sweetish fundraising arm. that arm.
