flooding risk, landslide risk will remain high. 28 for your high in manila. 20 in hong kong. 14 chongqing8 degrees in beijing, 6 in seoul. nice and warm in tokyo, as well. a quick taste of spring here. now for australia, of course, queensland has been dealing with that storm system. yasi has now weakened, it's a tropical low but gathering quite a bit of strength. winds are still going to be gusty for parts of the northern territories today. gusts could hit about 95 kilometers per hour. watch out. that could cause some damage. and then there's the rain to contend with. in the next 72 hours, seeing the bulk of the heavy rain move into the central areas of australia and coastal areas of queensland will remain unsettled into the weekend. perhaps not as heavy as when the storm hit, but it's not going to dry out right yet. that could exacerbate the flood conditions. you want to watch out for that, as well. for north america, the united states is looking more settled in the east as the snowstorm pulls away. however, we still see quite a bit of tropical moisture in the gulf coast. showers, thunde

also on the cool side for taipei with showers though it's going to be sultry, manila at 32 and 33 in bangkok. over to north america. let's talk about what's happening in canada. just a couple of systems here. very gusty conditions moving through. one that will bring wet weather into the british columbia, another one dropping out of alberta saskatchewan bringing us winds and perhaps light snow. for the most part, much of the u.s., some of the canadian prairies are looking calm and dry, if not frigid. we do have the tail end of the storm system that the graze parts of florida down through the caribbean. but that will be a distant memory after it leaves a little bit of light snow coatings across georgia and the carolinas. let me show you the temperatures. they're bone-chillingly cold. we have minus 10 for you in chicago on thursday. also subzero in toronto, new york. single digits in denver, as well as even houston, texas. wow, it's really cold for you. i know. 24 in l.a. and just 5 in vancouver. 25, though, not bad here in mexico city. next is going to be europe. now, while much of cen

for the philippines as well scattered showers will continue its pattern. 31 in manila today. 13 in hongg. 10 for chongqing. and then 5 in beijing. we're looking at double digits for tokyo today. a little bit milder than yesterday. now, for north america we are looking at winds still continuing to impact the mid-atlantic states and up in toward eastern canada. this system is heading out. so the snow is going to just last a little bit longer tonight before pulling away. but those strong winds could last a little while longer. out west two things are looking pretty stormy from british columbia all the way to northern california. there's going to be coastal rain in upper elevations, snow with some heavier precipitation possible for parts of oregon and in towards northern california. that snow also for canada spreads all the way across the central slice of canada as well. so looking at widespread snow over the next day or so. 4 degrees in winnipeg is your high today. we've got 18 expected in denver and 6 for chicago. minus 3 in toronto. and just at 0 for new york. and finally, here a look at

american fleet, the asiatic fleet which was based in hong kong, they had standing orders to go to manila and sink the spanish flea. -- the spanish fleet. those ships that sail from the philippines and show up in cuba so we might as well sync them while begin. but it had a side effect of leaving the philippines in the possession of the united states. it's very interesting to consider, the diplomatic reasoning, the political reasoning that went into the decision to keep the philippines at the end of the war. it's one thing to occupy the philippines during the war but then what will we do with them if? should we give them back to spain? should make it into another power? should we give himself governments? so the only thing as we mckinley said is to take them and as he went on, we will lift them up and christianize them. make them the best that they can be. this is self-serving. when you hear in it in mckinley's own words, but the striking thing is that he was probably absolutely right in this sense that the best thing for the philippines, the best thing for the philippines was exactly what
