america and north eastern asia have mastered fall color and i think that is probably why a lot of our trees are very popular worldwide. at the goldenrod that is used to drink tea. most people think of goldenrod as roadside, and many of them are too aggressive for gardens. but they actually run the gamut. pecies hails from north carolina and was thought to be extinct for a long time. it was not rediscovered until quite recently. sweet gum is definitely not the only fall color. this is one of the shadblow -- it has quite a few common names. it grows and rather moist tickets, a multi-stemmed shrub or small tree. very tasty, blueberry like fruit after spring flowers. we have this planted on low ground. a little bit above it we have onetree service area -- interesting thing about the common name for this plant, "shadblow" is a locally common name because these trees tended to bloom and had their flowers shatter. it supposedly comes from the fact that where it grows in the far north its blooms signify the of those who had died over the winter. the flowering of the street happened to coincid

let's move over towards eastern asia. want to talk about japan. we have been seeing rain showers for the past several days. heading into the weekend, decent weather in the forecast. little cooler than normal. still could see drizzle down towards ok inawa by the epd of the weekend, but high pressure is going to be dominating, so similar weather through the korean peninsula. northeastern china, we often see pollutants get tapped and it sits in place and looks like these levels as far as air equal thety back up to unhealthy to potentially hazardous levels. something to watch out for the through the coming days. showers remaining towards the south. if you are out in the tropics, expect them to flare. here's the extended outlook. >>> that wraps up this edition of "newsline." thanks very much for joining us. ♪ >>> china exports improved big time. does that mean the world economy is picking up? joko the reformer. his opponents are digging in before he takes office. and spinning lettuce. meet the managers bringing factory know how to agriculture. >> great

let's wrap things up moving over here towards eastern asia. look at this. this is the past three days across japan. if you have been out here, you may be thinking where is the sun? it's coming soon. the cloud cover's been put in place, but high pressure is going to be pushing this down towards the southeast. those showers in tokyo will taper off during the morning hours. behind it, clear skies for much of japan, korea, eastern china. you do still have to deal with some fog, but at least the precipitation has stopped. and also looking at some thunderstorms down towards the south across the tropics. all right, i'll leave you now with your extended forecast. >> that's all for this edition of "newsline." thanks for staying with us. ♪ >>> the yemeni human rights act vist tawakkol karman became the youngest winner of the nobel peace prize at the age of 32 in 2011. with the arab spring pro-democracy movement spreading in the middle east, karman led anti-government rallies in yemen which was under autocratic rule.

across eastern continental asia we're likely to see a high pressure system dominate much of china and as well as beijing it's very chilly up here though. 7 degrees for the high. western and central half of japan is looking at very clear skies. definitely the calm after the storm. likely to see beautiful day here with the sunny weather at 26 degrees in tokyo for us on tuesday. out here across the caribbean we're likely to see a hurricane coming up major hurricane status by wednesday. it is now a category 1 hurricane and it is bringing hurricane warnings across puerto rico. it's likely to bring about 300 millimeters of rainfall in isolated lotions. it will continue throughout the next couple of days. it will be making its way toward bermuda so we'll keep a close eye on this system. please try not to venture out in the waters. out here in the eastern u.s. we have a potent storm system that unleashed 7 tornadoes. one has already killed one person in arkansas. this has a potential of bringing more tornadoes and more strong gusts as it heads toward the eastern locations bringing about 85 mi

on toward eastern continental asia we have that typhoon vongfong. high pressure system is making it move very slowly. the high pressure system also responsible for the clear skies across the korean peninsula and much of japan is calm before the storm. and much of china except for beijing we're looking at very low visibility due to the air pollution being in a hazardous level today in and around the capital of this country. looks like this -- conditions will be much better due to another windy and wet weather moving in. that's going to be dispersing the situation. but if you're out there today, make sure you wear a mask, especially for people, those with respiratory problems. the high pressure system is also responsible for cooling weather up in the north. 12 degrees. but the low is only about 2 degrees. ulan bator is already seeing precipitation with 8 degrees for your high. tokyo at 26. and down toward the south due to the typhoon feeding all that moisture, carrying on conditions, manila will see unstable weather throughout your weekend and into ea

across here in the eastern continent of asia, a heavy bulk of rein is traveling across china. we've had about 70 millimeters, for example in one province. and that will be traveling toward shanghai and make its way toward the korean peninsula. beijing is looking at hazy conditions, it's in a very unhealthy level with the air pollution, but the rain should be dissipating and improving the situation. snow, very winter like out there. osaka and sapporo, these are the high areas where we're seeing the autumn foliages. and friday is halloween, and a lot of people like to wear costumes and go trick or treating. looks like the overnight hours may see some showers. so it's good to carry a folded umbrella, and it looks like rein will be moving in across the three day weekend. so not a treat for us. central mediterranean still looking quite messy. we have three waterspouts reported in greece and italy. the severe thunderstorms could still happen due to the cut-off low sitting here for quite some team. and then mother system moving in across the british isle. the bulk of the heavy rain w

and the second is a geographic one which is eastern europe, central asia, which we know the epidemic is expanding with what little data we have. and it's a very, very tough challenge. i would say one bright note of optimism there is that al alix sheshan is africa's representative to the think tank on the brics, and working closely with the brics. that's brazil, russia, india, china and south africa. so maybe there's no hope that that form which will not include us, the u.s., it maybe is a place where the hiv issues and the global health issues and public health practices can really be brought to the fore in a different and new form. that maybe will be something of a way forward. i know that we've already discussed that in some detail and very committed to it. so i think that's a stay tuned. >> just one quick comment. if you look in the gap report again, there's this great diagram that shows if we continue to do what we're doing today at the rate at which we're doing it today, the number of new infections creep up. and what's missing in that is where you end up at 2030 is 80 million p

you have made an interesting comparison between eastern europe and east asia. i want the u.s. to adopt something like the attitude to the regional emergency in these regions. at least to watch carefully. public opinion or decided by any other factors? look, from where i sit, no. i think the policy that the u.s. is trying to follow in both places is consistent in the the sense that we are objecting to what russia is doing in krain because they are violating the sovereignty of an independent country. there are different challenges but in some sense, similar. >> gentleman right here. >> you mentioned what would be on proeb's agenda when he visited china in terms of strengthening the relationship with china. also the u.s. just lifted the long-time ban providing lethal weapons to vietnam yesterday. will that create more stability or more unstability in the region? thank you. >> as i mentioned in my remarks, we want to create a strong stable military to military relationship between the united states and china. road, rules of behavior. we are discussing these we hope to have somethi

asia and across the eurasian space. then we come back to the question what about our marvel in eastern europe. is important to take a few minutes to look at how and why and what conditions american national security interests and commitment to democratization went hand in hand because we will tease out the factors to look for when we are trying to reconcile in other parts of the world some of the distinctions that are there. first thing of course is east european states had clear security threats when they were escaping from the soviet bloc, they were always concerned -- there were concerns in the early 1990s about germany so that these states had real security issues that led them to seek partnership with the united states. this is where conditionality played a big role because the united states could make demands and requests of those governments that if they wanted closer relationship with the united states or membership in nato or wanted to be involved in the european union there were standards they would have to meet so the we could say as we could use that as a very important lever for p

asia and then across the eurasian space. then, of course, we come back to the question, well, what about our model in eastern europe, central and east europe? i think it is important for us to take a few minutes to look at how and why come under what conditions american nationals a good interest and a commitment to democratization went hand in hand. that will help us tease out some of the factors we should look for when we're trying to reconcile in other parts of the world some of the distinctions that are there. first thing, of course, is that east european states had clear security threats when they were escaping from the soviet bloc. they were always have been concerned about a resurgent russia. they were concerns in the time in the 1990 about germany. these states have real security issues that led him to seek partnership with the trendy. this, of course, is where conditionality played a big role because the united states could make demands and requests of those governments that if they want a closer security and political relationships wit wite united states, if they want a membership in there, if you want to be involv
