welcome back time to look at the weather across central southern parts of china and indochina indochina things are still looking very lively we have this area of low pressure giving heavy rain across vietnam through laos suppose had real flooding in recent days and also miramar because it's in choosing the air to come in off the bay of bengal and we've had vast amounts of rain coming down across parts of me amar and bangladesh in fact cox's bizarre seeing close to half a meter of rain of the last two days alone so it is going to remain very wet across this region when you get away towards hong kong when things become drier northwards towards fuzhou shanghai and indeed across into taiwan the weather conditions are looking pretty good but if you're going to many parts of indochina expect some travel disruption as a result of flooding further south we've still got heavy rain across northern parts of the philippines some showers for the south but generally better and fine conditions across much of borneo through java and bali through so much on up through the may picture and then once you g

welcome back let's start by looking at whether crossed central southern china and indochina on taiwan this circulation is a tropical storm storm some tin which is going to get further heavy rain across indochina next twenty four hours in the could be some significant flooding across this region so it's certainly going to impact annoy and really further south into more central parts of the country and then it's going to work its way across los we've got some heavy rain affecting hong kong but once you get further north to shanghai is all again dry and fine so over the next twenty four hours the system will be moving through into laos is a very enhanced the sherry to it is well in the bay of bengal side so i think for much of yang gone through lies into vietnam there's going to be some severe weather conditions over the following twenty four hours the southerly or southwest the monsoon across asia is looking pretty intense at the moment we've seen some big rainfall totals being reported include drought and also for some eastern parts of india to the forecast suggests both areas will see

hello and welcome back so we look at weather across indochina china and taiwan is really across parts of indochina where things are looking pretty wet at the moment some heavy rain still coming in here particularly me and marcos all areas are seeing a lot of rain at the moment that's likely to continue slightly better in conditions across the vietnam still a few heavy downpours around meanwhile for eastern parts of china we have showers for hong kong and fuzhou and you can also see the circulation that is tropical storm john dari which is heading towards shanghai in the following few days now as you move across into south asia we've got some very heavy rain across northeastern areas of this region really and we also have wanted to have the rainfall reports down in the parts of carolina for instance but it is these eastern areas where it's been particularly wet and is likely to stay that way certainly for delhi we've got some slightly dry conditions moving in the circulations affecting areas slightly further towards easter so i've been watching katmandu kolkata still seeing some heavy

is really the rain across indochina it was a feature of some very heavy rainfall who live in providing for instance in laos just scenes from big downpours and this low pressure center is encouraging a lot of share activity coming off the bay of bengal so i think for me a mars like this stayed very wet and yang gong could well see some flooding. on the atlantic coast of west africa communities are at risk. as rising sea levels and a manmade disaster after reading people's lives on land and at sea. al-jazeera world exposed the impact of climate change and a catastrophic human error. on senegal sinking villages. welcome back you're watching i'll just there i'm still robin a reminder of our top news story there's been a suicide attack near a crowded polling station just outside the pakistani city of quarter that's the provincial capital of baluchistan more than thirty people including children have been killed millions of voting in a tightly contested general election. also suicide bombers have targeted a government health city in southern syria and these fifty people are fed dad and i'll

a say with that be some dry weather but showers it was likely very humid weather across much of indochina annoyed there just shy of the forty degree mark across los a scattering of showers but again a lot of share activity coming off the bay of bengal so for parts of me and mar it looks as though it's going to remain pretty wet in the course of saturday then southeastern parts of asia we've got fine weather for java bali and indeed through much of borneo as well the heavy showers for the north across the philippines and heavy downpours here and indeed across southern parts of indochina so much of cambodia central and southern parts of vietnam looking pretty wet but then southwards through. through sumatra and into java by the weather conditions are looking pretty good at the moment it should be a good deal of sunshine here kuala lumpur coming in at thirty one degrees then across into south asia it's looking very lively down through the western ghats heavy showers across nepal the eastern states civilian bangladesh but also an area of low pressure giving intense rainfall across central are

for the north across the philippines and heavy downpours here and indeed across southern parts of indochina so much of cambodia central and southern parts of vietnam are looking pretty wet but then southwards through. through sumatra and into java by the weather conditions are looking pretty good at the moment should be a good deal of sunshine here kuala lumpur coming in at thirty one degrees then across into south asia it's looking very lively down through the western ghats heavy showers across in a poor state civilian bangladesh but also an area of low pressure giving intense rainfall across central areas and i think of the next forty eight hours we could see a lot of rainfall falling in night poor. the weather sponsored by qatar airways. where were you when this idea popped into it when they're on line it's undoubtedly chief cole oh over the inequality in our society today or if you join at sunset criminal justice system is dysfunctional right now this is a dialogue what does it feel like to go back for the first time everyone has a voice about allow refugees to plead to speakers for cha

welcome back southern china and indochina are looking very lively weather wise at the moment this area of rain we've got is partly as a result of the tropical storm will form a tropical storm. across northern vietnam through especially and also into b.m.r. is going to be very wet indeed we've had huge amounts of rain coming down a lot more to come and i think this low pressure center will probably inch use more showers to come off the bay of bengal as well so very wet indeed further north where the conditions all look rossetti fine and dry but so move on through into sunday you can see this circulation coming into the shanghai region and this is another tropical storm system it won't reach typhoon status but it is likely to bring some very heavy rain to shanghai of the following twenty four hours a bit of a storm surge as well possible with it now as you move down the southeastern parts of asia it's really heavy rain over across thailand parts of cum bodi vietnam and also northern parts of the philippines the first so if you get across the region generally the better it is once you get

starts helping the french fight their own war, the so-called first indochina war. speaking of the motivations, his whole domino theory, this whole issue of credibility, this whole idea that if we do not hold the fort in vietnam, then laos will fall, cambodia will fall, thailand will fall and we will have this kind of domino effect. there are all of these great quotes about what will happen if we did not do anything about vietnam. my favorite, and i have lived in hawaii for a long time, was johnson at one point saying, if we do not stop them in vietnam, we will fight them on the beaches of waikiki. that is what the thinking was. and from the evidence, it really seems to be legitimate. they truly, genuinely believe that unless they acted in vietnam, unless they did something about vietnam long-term, the u.s. would face a much bigger threat from the communist bloc. so again, it it is not vietnam -- it is not vietnam itself informing american decision-making, it is the whole cold war context. this is an interesting chart. you see under johnson, it is a gradual process

still not exactly clear, from making some moves in indochina.st finished reading a new biography of president at howwer who was amazed he considered the use of tactical weapons in korea. head,ff the top of my again, we have a false sense of security because there has only been one occasion, two bombs used by the u.s. in the waning months of world war ii, where nuclear weapons had been deployed. we have this falls sense of security that they will never be deployed again because no one would dare do them. but the history of our diplomacy is replete with examples of u.s. president does threatening others with nuclear accidents. about ate in his book tightened missile accident in damascus. in texas, there were live nuclear missiles transported accidentally across the united states and nuclear weapons seven dropped into oceans across the country. about the learning cuban missile crisis and how fidel castro was begging for permission to launch nuclear strikes against florida just because he felt that this would be the only time he could do so, so the
