as for the rest of eastern asia, things are looking high and dry. parts of japan over the last day or so have been experiencing heavy now along the northwestern coast. that's going to ease off as high pressure moves in. we will, though, have rain showers down towards the southern half of the country moving across the korean peninsula, as well, from thursday. ahead of that, though, a bit of a warmup, which will be most welcome, because it has been quite chilly. 14 degrees in tokyo on thursday. seoul, 10 degrees, staying dry. good spells of sunshine in beijing at 13 degrees. down towards the south, 26 in taipei with showers and there are some scattered thunderstorms forecast for manila, 31 for your thursday. all right, on into the americas. it's been very wintery looking out here. out towards the northeast, we've been seeing snow in places like massachusetts, as well as in new york state, in d.c., as well. that's going to start to improve from thursday. we've got high pressure across much of canada and the u.s. today, making for some freeze warnings d

on into eastern asia, and things are looking quite dry across much of china and mongolia here. temperatures really starting to fall as we head into winter, but out here towards japan and the korean peninsula is where we're going to be seeing the precipitation. mostly going to be snow for northern portions of japan, because we have this arctic blast of air, winds coming across, and that gets the sea effect snow machine in motion. that's what we see at this time of year and we'll see it piling up, as well. hokkaido, 20 to 30 centimeters by wednesday morning. as we head into the korean peninsula, you could see a couple centimeters in seoul. 1 degree forecast for your high and snow in the forecast there. 15 in tokyo. that will probably be coming down towards the end of the work week as the arctic air filters in towards the kanta region, as well. as we head up towards the north, things are really falling apart there, minus 13 for ulan bator and 12 in shanghai. let's take a look at some of the lows you can expect, though, with the arctic cooldown in the region. 8 degrees in taipei. w

let's talk about what's going on here in eastern asia. right now high pressure is dominating. d that is going to bring in fair weather across japan over towards eastern china. we do have a new low-pressure area coming in. that's right here in central china. that's going to start to develop in a big, messy winter storm kind of setting in here. some rainfall down there towards the south. hunan province. you're also going to be looking at 50 to 100 millimeters of rainfall. heavy snowfall farther towards the west and freezing rain mixed into that. by sunday into monday, that's going to impact you there in korea and then over towards japan. so definitely messy weather. but for now, some pretty decent stuff out here. i took this picture earlier on today. this was right outside the japan meteorological agency. some of those fall colors setting in here in tokyo. that's really how it looks right now. do enjoy if you like the fall colors, but it will be getting even colder. beijing, just 13 there on saturday. but by tuesday, only five as that cold air mass starts to set in. but that's a

there's a storm over north eastern asia and rachel ferguson has been following the situation which will give us the latest. i know things that many callings and across much of the western hemisphere northern hemisphere should think i would give anything that winter is coming up it was the north east of asia we have a severe storm is bringing heavy snow to parts unknown jiang province and also insists that the eastern russia. as for japan with a frisbee moving through today and rather than snow. it has beamed from heavy rain actually from southall canal was feeling it as well. all are left with the north accompanied by strong winds snapped as we head into tuesday that storm is going to start to pull the weight of the bubble had been explained is that the arctic air mass filtering in and it'll come across the sea of japan and also the yellow sea and on a rainy start to the effect of snow still working at piling up in the korean peninsula and also in northern japan. along the western edge here is clear we usually get a very high the snow. temperatures will also be falling and that their pe

sweet cream can can't swim in and so will teach our kids temperatures are starting to drop in the eastern asia richard ferguson from the weather team has more rachel. i may enter into assessing and across much of the northern hemisphere and euthanasia is no different high pressure across much of mongolia and china is keeping things clear and calm for the most part but there is going to be planted precipitation across the korean peninsula and care into japan. all that god is this the effects machine the wings come across these chilly winds picking up the moisture from the sea of japan and also the loc and dumping the precipitation that snow across most of the western coast. now we are to be seen from snow maybe to the chain of twenty to thirty centimeters in parts of hokkaido as well still hook or by at wednesday and this time the next twenty four hours. i assaulted the economy by strong winds today wins recorded in hokkaido hundred and twenty km in the hours that means that snow will be buffeted around blowing snow and drifting snow is simply not good for driving conditions tempered as authent

ok let the head on into the eastern asia am are talking about heavy snows here too. this time in northeastern china. it's really taken you can see was happening and he longed giant this is that of course that china's northeast and presence here digging and hauling a severe winter storm this week the blizzard lasted about fourteen hours dropping up to thirty centimeters of snow fall in some areas in the village of crocheting or team green houses were destroyed resulting in damage is costing approximately thirty two thousand dollars double still run the province some airports are reporting delays and also trains are canceled as the cleanup continues. so we have the snow there in the northeast of china role to be finding it in japan. i posit a vocal as well as qaeda you can see twenty to thirty centimeters of snow elsewhere in tow who is the warming can be seen rain and eighteen millimeters is possible so the heavy stuff there. elsewhere across child a king high and dry and temperatures a fairly chilly across the board for me a pervert the course in the tropics there ea

i want to show you what's going on in eastern asia as well, speaking of winter, it's not just everywhere else, it's here as well. a cold surge coming through dropping temperatures from northeastern china towards korea, even most of japan. we're seeing snowfall in higher elevations in hakuba, nag gnaw,out want the snowfall there where you'll be getting about 20 sent meeters in the next 24 hours. most of this will be staying in the sea of japan coastline. in tokyo you don't expect so much in the form of snow there. what i do want to show you, on the topic of snow, actually the reverse of the topic of snow is down here towards the south. in the ogisara islands, we have a video coming out of here. this is actually fire. a newly formed island right there which just started erupting. it appears today about 1,000 kilometers south of tokyo. officials say the land mass measures about 200 meters across. black smoke seen spewing out of here and up to about 600 meters high. pretty incredible images. the good news is, it's well out in the open ocean. island nearby, has no inhabitants. it's not affect

hi there at sunset on and eastern asia. things are looking mostly clear for china and mongolia lots of sunny skies. but credit towards the north and east are running into some when she precipitation alone here over japan s and rain and snowfall even inspire them as fast as hiroshima gidley had made twenty six centimeters of snow in the last twenty four hours. that is a record for snowfall in november up twice in our heaviest snowfall for the last couple of days and in the next twenty four hours you could even see anything from thirty to fifty centimeters higher than the three of snow piling up in hope because i'm told will crimp. there will be heady still up in hokkaido was well come in by strong winds gusts exceeding one hundred km in our possible that means the possibility of a drifting snow and blowing snow reducing visibility and dangerous to travel conditions for the venue towards the south leaving things in heavy rain across the philippines once again luzon and the science of intense the scene from severe weather in t

i then yes they will see temperatures and printing generally across eastern asia and through the weekend it'll stay dry and clear for much of china slows the cream container and mongolia was seen as the snow is continuing for japan and the effects totally have this time of year and it's really been piling up on towards the north in the last twenty four hours to cut more than eighteen new meat as sentiment is that if the snow in hokkaido. even that didn't was hiroshima. about thirty five defends me to sew pretty significant sell even further than twice the fat to continue over the weekend. by sunday will start to see tapering off and things should be a lot more calm and gentle sweet at the beginning of the work week. then towards the fence ongoing heavy shadows across the philippines and also part of that southern thailand that temperature wise well of course the still warm in the tropics and two degrees in bangkok showers and twenty nine in manila and other improving also these temperatures of toys that northern china tainted meat and eighteen ten in seoul and fourteen degrees until cast

i didn't eastern asia. there has been a very persistent low road tasting up towards the north east this one can bring significant snow to northeastern china as false the south eastern russia at the covered half birthdays he seemed significant felt he could see another five to ten centimeters of comedy but the strong winds which could have flown back to that know about it and to make percentage is his ability to continue driving conditions if you missed our tees off though as the system is for the two wards the east however that of course is good to go somewhere early season showers from the faintest in the northern portion of sheep and all those showers and a turnover to snow showers with cold winds that are coming in from cheesecake from the northwest cells in a cold and temperatures here on the coast which has been very mild over the last weekend that night. if any conditions over the weekend and pike but temperatures will come back down to seasonal averages. high pressure across much of the rest of china

yeah, if we head into eastern asia, the end of the workweek, there's going to be a cold blast coming into northeastern china and the korean peninsula. there's a low-pressure system brewing here, and it's gsing to bringing a dose of winter. ten centimeters of snow as well as very gusty winds. that could also affect your visibility at times. and it's certainly going to be bringing temperatures down way below average. as for japan, some showers moving through. most of these are rain showers for the time being. in the upper elevations, a little bit of snow. as we head into the weekend, it's going to be quite pleasant and calm, fair over the next couple of days. warmer, too. certainly up to averages. but the next cold snap will come when this system from china comes across the middle of next week. down towards the south, scattered showers and thunderstorms across the philippines. but the heavy rain is going to be targeting vietnam today. and you can see just around here, about 180 millimeters of rain showing up on this model in the next 72 hours. so flooding and landslides a high risk her

across eastern asia towards the north is going to be mostly dry apart from japan that is how we have some moisture here. and in addition some very strong northwesterly is coming in as well to get that cold and sad the moisture and i began to snow that's what's happening now. knowing this i am getting a pretty significant debt snowball at the moment not the first of the season is here. i am told will cruise the first of the season started last weekend in fact el coyote a local call pretty good idea to be seen in maybe thirty to fifty centimeters of snow on the next twenty four hours especially in the japan sea side this scene that still here. and sadly enough of that wet snow that will be following that we could see some tree limbs possible power and teaches tied down to st and downs and tells the highlands causing her packages that is to go to what's happening temperature wind because it will be affected by some colder temperatures in tokyo were looking to thirteen for the high on tuesday the local inventor as six degrees soul nine some pretty cool here is from this one to be for the

east route to just eight still remain in the teens along the eastern seaboard fell over towards eastern asia as well. over the top of all the cool they're called search pouring in from the northeast making for some dry conditions across much of eastern china on the leading edge that the north east monsoon still bring some showers in the courses of northeastern was on the end and can also book criteria developing their into malaysia and thailand thailand artist in about a hundred fifty millimeters the past week or as i do think this slow to move up towards the west. a really similar conditions as and i have this so it could be seeing the next cycle and develop from this sum to keep an eye on through the coming days for now though as far as he went to whether they're into japan we haven't see some snow fall of twenty seven meters next twenty four hours a novel could be expected us to move up towards the east next big storm is coming from this area there in eastern china on a wintry mix across much of central china korea the overt were spent by early next week. now wouldn't talk about the snow

at nsa to look across eastern asia and the rest i couldn't be happening. so quite dry across much of the constant sadly china mongolia. i became very clear the moment as is the korean can and cannot use any given sunday cold air coming into northeastern china and the korean peninsula over the weekend and you'll see temperatures falling as a lead and single digit highs that sold and that about five or six. on the weekends places at leichhardt in your going to be in the us fed's zero feeders for your height that bad things that we can to be having some snow as well. the well in japan showers moving through most of this is actually rain is warmed up a little bit of weather will be some mountain snow. then it was this that the east and to showers on saturday. across the philippines this is really the rate of whether passionately seek at this time of year there's nothing particularly intense in a way of rainfall across the philippines at the moment just as scattered showers and thunderstorms heavy rain though it's pretty into it said vietnam out the link of the

course traffic as well as i could cost as we can see here the stickler that temperatures for its eastern asia and fourteen degrees until camp as danger i saw looking for ten and just arriving to get above the freezing mark and goal on the tour. showers here saying i'm sixteen and twenty six in taipei also wet. scattered thunderstorms are forecast for manila on thursday when decrease for the hike on into the america that is a has been very cold and dry here across much of the constant strong high pressure is in place and has been making for freezing conditions especially early hours of the morning. across much of the eastern half of the consonant in the deep south as well throw towards the northeast we had a low pressure system to pull away and that there was some snow in the mid atlantic as well as the new england has some cool showers as well basically things to try our new beach eyes and into wednesday. and as a high pressure in the event was the east by thursday will start to see things warming up a little bit. that's what this as you'll notice the slow pressures could well develop system

a lot of these he says are coming from hong kong, asia, japan, the eastern asia and across the pacific and a lot of them are going to have to divert as well so that will cause a disruption. a lot of the flights canceled were fulfill very hard to rebook on those flights. so again, just all the confusion with the cancellations, the diversions to these hubs. people staying in hotels, having to rebook flights. that's the ripple effect. when you get a look at all the air traffic that is affected throughout the united states, just by this one event. in these few seconds at l.a.x. it is a pretty massive effect. a huge disruption across the country. >> and brian just laying that out, when you think about it that way. you realize no matter where you were, this affected you. more than 60 million people go through l.a. every year. kyung lah is there with the latest will we've been talking to passengers through the day, hearing these individual stories. but it is incredible how big this is. >> reporter: certainly. and we actually just saw a small slice of it. and if you had joined me about an hour

we'll move on to eastern continental asia. talking about this typhoon system. looks like it's going to get a little bit stronger over the warm sea surface temperature of the south china sea. and then a little bit weaker as it moves toward the indochina peninsula over the weekend and into next week. the wind gusts are already packing up to 180 kilometers per hour and kurosa will likely bring high waves and storm surges. it will also be indirectly affecting eastern taiwan and possibly hinder the recovery process after the earthquake. southwestern islands of japan will see some thunderstorms. meanwhile, high pressure system will dominate much of northern china. the korean peninsula and rest of japan. i want to show you a video coming out from fukui prefecture where people could enjoy this beautiful scene. this time of the year when people like to visit. the fall foliage is at its best. it's surrounded by mountains and visitors can enjoy the colored leaves reflecting on the water off the pond. about 400 hikers enjoy the beautiful sight and crisp air yesterday. the

like it has happened in other countries, shipping and shipping business went away, went to eastern asiaeah. how much is shipping still worth in this country? >> it's worth more than 7% of the gdp. and it's actually createding more than half a billion -- half a million jobs in greece, which is a very important number. the most important is that all this period of crisis, the greek shipping hasn't lost its position. it hasn't been affected. therefore, we can say that we are still the european champions in one of the economic sectors. >> and just on a final note, there was a period when we were worried about greek activity. those fears for now have been put to bed. but the politics in greece, because of the high levels of unemployment and the far right movement are still very to know toxic. what is going to happen with the government and the -- and the opposition? >> well, it was only two or three weeks ago that we had the confidence in the parliament. i don't think -- although it's really toxic and it's really -- we have a rise of the far right, the extreme right. we have a neo-nazi party

we have seen in eastern european asia,ies, in africa, there are many countries that do not have the ability to absorb that kind of loss financially, or the degree of penetration and corruption within their system. it does jeopardize their entire government system. we do not see that ability here, and it took the fbi and longtime -- a long time to get off its bureaucratic rear and -- end, while we were preventing the other groups from around the world from getting the same foothold here they were able to do all of those years. we were proud in the fbi to have such a role in dismantling and kening the ability for those other groups a takeover. that gave us the ability and 2001 to deploy many of those resources to the counterterrorism program. >> a portion of a conference held earlier today by the american bar association. you can see the entire event on c-span2, or online. also earlier today, the woodrow wilson center held a discussion with the director of the international atomic energy agency. this is close to an hour. >> good morning. welcome to the wilson center. special welcome to our gu
