if you shout that took us in a $22.00 degrees is still relatively warm in the sunshine in the korean peninsula and northern china in southern china well it's possibly seasonal rain showing itself developing and then disappearing and then redeveloping but because it's coming in then i think hong kong will be affected much about hong kong forecast next 3 days does have some storms and showers or showers or 3 days with a fairly steady and humid 2021 degrees or sort of water showers a watch for to the south that of course we're seeing more and more than developing a daily basis in places like thailand or vietnam and of course we've seen them become rather more frequent in sumatra peninsula malaysia singapore and kuala lumpur for cross a singapore for the next few days is a fairly shari one thunderstorms v.r.s. on all 3 days with of course a fairly steady temperature although the high side of average has friend here occasional showers temperature wise is what we're watching moment time she's rising ahead of the venture monsoon not in the major towns but around much of pradesh and just on where over

spring rain the plum rains developing in china and then running through to japan catching the korean peninsula quite a massive system this one but all the action is really over japan is running up through honshu game says the 2nd or maybe the 3rd in the last week or so so it's been a wet spell as to supporting the cold and the 13 degrees there the rain does go through but then the monday the sun comes out behind the next belt is developing slowly in southern china i will stay north of hong kong as it spreads out through see in fact you've got a sunny day to look forward to honshu especially in tokyo you're up to 22 degrees. for talk to al-jazeera we want your thoughts were when you saw that document for the 1st story we listen to after the war saying europeans go build united states of you but we will not be with you we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on al-jazeera we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the wound is another matter when you call me ugly news and current affairs that matter to you. come on our top stories as area the

backwash wind was quite cold and the temperatures are actually on their way down through the korean peninsula and northern china is about 0 and hop in the city of course of our ice sculptures but not this time of the year for that cold the share is influencing the highest temperature in chief in solving a 9 degrees it should be 17 or 18 that's the average and is 21 in tokyo with number of the few showers and it's fairly dry all the way through china dry and cooling down but along the south coast big shout out of ella ping they are in the philippines as well they're pretty widespread through minister indonesia but they're fewer than they were observed and in the forecast the blue represents the showers and all that many in java there are a few steps are going to be dry because you can see the not exactly what's for nor are they in thailand or cambodian any degree at the moment but there is some we need to watch and that is the northeast of india and especially bangladesh is the time of year when you get some pretty big thunderstorms building the cowboys shock is it can be pretty deadly the cer

forces on the korean peninsula that and that there are 4 scenarios in. paul can you confirm that and if so what is your desired outcome well i think that south korea had a great talk with president moon he's a friend of mine i can graduate had a wonderful election victory is very happy about that he was. as you know just recently we are negotiating for president moon and for south korea to help us monitary only because we as you know we have 32000 soldiers there that varies from 28232000 south korea and we think that. before i came aboard they paid very little if anything so we're defending a wonderful nation a nation that we have great relationships but we're asking them to pay for a big percentage of what we're doing it's not fair so well it's not a question of reduction it's a question of will they contribute toward the defense of their own nation we're defending nations that are very wealthy south korea's a very wealthy nation they make our television sets they make ships they make everything and i give them great credit we've been defending them for

china which will extend out towards northern parts of taiwan over the next 24 hours but for the korean peninsula and for japan where the conditions are looking ok now particular woman 17 in tokyo where we like to see a development taking place across the east of russia moving across the sea of japan e.-c. into northern parts of japan so expect wet weather to develop in sapporo for the south showers across western parts of japan tokyo probably dry for much of the day and other states we should see some easing of the rain across southern parts of china and northern parts of vietnam but you see how noisy could still see some heavy downpours moving down into southeastern parts of asia here are still looking at some pretty heavy showers for parts of java through into borneo and through the late french i think you'll see some showers activity for both singapore and kuala lumpur and further north across much of thailand and into cambodia and vietnam where the conditions aren't looking too bad headed across into south asia is looking pretty quiet at the moment largely draw a fine picture for many areas

which should be largely dry that is the case across a good part of the korean peninsula northern parts of china where we have high pressure in charge that high is keeping it wet across southern parts of china there the seasonal rains repacking up once again across the south of the country and hong kong could see some very wet weather as we go on into cheese day which will gradually slide its way a little further ways was noticed by cheese day japan is largely fond of dry tokyo getting up to about 18 degrees celsius well she found a dry course a good part of india the primo scene he continues to build now we're looking at temperatures up around the 40 degree mark for somebody else 39 there and not pull far north for much as he wanted to shout basically up towards the pole some showers there just around the west and gets carol a duck could see some heavy showers as we go on through the next day or so i think that shoes say that's when you can see the wettest of that weather further north there begun at pawtucket is 40 celsius wish i was at the northern plains. from. a story of popular re
