hello at this time of the year with the monsoon driving most of the rains a good part of malaysia and indonesia is generally speaking dry apart from passing big showers and as you can see from this satellite picture all that many of them just to the west the philippines you see something building but in the forecasts you will see them sumatra singapore kuala lumpur and up into central parts of thailand and again dotted around the east and increasingly maybe jobbers a greater risk of showers including in jakarta but still a ways he still looks dry which i'm sure is quite relieving at least for the time being more active weather on its way through the australian bite is a good frontal system the back edge being a cold front and the whole thing winding up over the still relatively warm waters of the bite which is why i guess quite windy you left behind was 16 degrees in perth but drawing just ahead of it a warm air out of the interior means 19 in adelaide that onshore breeze to make it disappointing from the gulf coast northwards a good part of queens and could be cloudy and even wet and rain wron

illegally shipped it's not like the philippines is not likely industry that's as big as in malaysia or vietnam or indonesia we take in. we get shipped a lot of illegal ways only gets this covered when the containers are opened for random checks in the ports. but going back to the question you posed earlier about the business case of waste or cycling in sending it to us. there are countries it's actually a flawed wadlow because it doesn't take into account the extra now that these that happened like the environmental costs of. whether it's. very very crude facility so there's a lot of environmental. problems that happen with that kind of recycling or whether it's in for example in cement where the plastic waste gets burnt and there's a lot of environmental pollution air pollution and communities really are the ones that suffer. i mean i would i would absolutely agree with that when it comes to those sorts of wastes and i think it's just such a huge. business for people to take advantage chen mean you're talking about shipments going to the philippines and being open up i mean if these shipments came up pret
