more than 100 millimeters of rain fell on sunday. the water built up inside barriers surrounding storage tanks. and workers discovered spills in at least 12 locations. the rains eased. then the water stopped flowing over the barriers. but workers are looking into the possibility that it may have leaked through ditches and into the ocean. the barriers are 30 centimeters high, but rain a few days ago had pushed water levels in some areas above 20 centimeters. and workers can only pump out a few centimeters per day. they checked the water for radioactivity to ensure it met safety standards. then they released some of it into the compound. they went through the same process last wednesday after a typhoon brought heavy rains. >>> japanese government offic l officials have been helping their local counterparts prepare for the event of another nuclear accident. they're trying to ensure the safety of people who would be central to such plants. they say bus drivers who would drive residents to safety should not be exposed to more radiation th

now, in some places, you've got about 500 millimeters of rain. that's actually record-breaking rainfall. and still, an additional 100 millimeters are likely for a wide area with locally 300. so it could cause flooding as well as landslides. further toward the south we've been watching another typhoon. this is expected to affect the islands with full force. waves would be as high as 7 meters with likely from this afternoon into this evening. now, across the american continent, we have a shot of cold air affecting the eastern half of the u.s. bringing really cold conditions. temperatures may go down below freezing in some places in the morning hours and in the northwesterly winds are causing lake skt snow up to 15 sent miers likely in some places. out toward the west, looking dry but we may see some mountain snow across the four corners region and temperatures are really up towards the north in the single digits in places like winnipeg, chicago and toronto and in the low teens in boston as well as new york city on your friday. finally, across europ

250 millimeters for shikuku. enough to trigger further flooding and landslides. as for tokyo, staying dry, but windy conditions are expected to occur from wednesday evening. now, across china, the remnants of tropical storm is now located here producing lots of rain. more than 200 or even 300 millimeters of rain have been reported in provinces in the shanghai area. normal rain is welcome, but heavy rain will remain throughout the day. heavy rain is also coming down in central and southern parts of thailand once again. and across the americas, dry weather for many parts, but an active weather is still going on across the east. we have a long cloud band stretching up toward the north. thundershowers there, but on tuesday, things will be clearing up. however, two areas such as the northern parts of quebec and the southern parts of the u.s. will remain on the wet side. some snow showers are possible in the north. now, back behind it, spotty showers for british columbia and parts of washington as well as oregon. the r

as much as 150 millimeters to 200 millimeters in localized areas will be continuing across much of the coastal regions here in the eastern indochina peninsula as well as the west. thailand, vietnam has already seen about topping 200 millimeters in the past couple of days. on top of that, additional rain certainly ups risk of mudslides. this is the other storm that is east of the philippines as of now, but despite the proximity, it's surging all the moisture and dumping it as heavy rain. and across the philippines into the next few days. this is fito we're talking about which will be aiming toward southwestern islands of japan into the weekend. as a strong typhoon status, it will be intensifying over the warm water. and it is now slowly moving, packing gusts of 90 kilometers per hour. and also another storm system that we are tracking that could impact our country, japan, as a tropical storm status on wednesday local time. as we progress through the midweek, it looks like it will be moving parallel to the eastern seaboards, and that waves will be picked up as much as 3 meters high. alre

still up to 200 millimeters and up to 300 millimeters for s shchhikuku. and a violent typhoon packing wind gusts of over 300 kilometers and tornado like conditions are happening near the center of the storm and it could get close to the islands into tomorrow as a very strong typhoon. so lots of stormy conditions here. and as you noticed, as you can see, two systems could get very close to each other where we have a couple of systems within 1,000 kilometers per hour. those systems could take odd movement. so lots of things are happening in and around japan and we have another system over in northeastern china that's bringing a mixture of rain and snow and that is improving the bad air quality. temperatures are as follows. still on the chilly side across the north. only 16 degrees for you in beijing. going down to 18 degrees in to goy with on and off showers throughout the day. across the americas, a shot of cold air brings a mix of rain and snow for the great lakes region. up to 15 centimeters of snow is likely in some places and we have frost warnings and

more than 800 millimeters of rain hit the island in 24 hours. rescuers are being cautious. they'll be at it for days to come. the rebuilding effort on this island will take much longer. shiyaki ishikawa, nhk world, tokyo. >>> people living in the southern philippines have been dealing with their own disaster. a magnitude 7.1 earthquake shook communities earlier this week. many are living in tents and are in urgent need of supplies. we have this report. >> reporter: this accounts for 90% of total cash. landslides and collapsed buildings caused a large portion of the fatalities. two days after the initial quake, rescuers reported more fatalities. the collapsed bridges, landslides and opened ditches, make it difficult for rescue teams to deliver aid to people and for authorities to get a clear picture of the total damage. >> translator: when the aftershocks come we evacuated this place. we live near the shore. i'm afraid tsunami will come. we need water and food. >> reporter: tuesday's earthquake is the largest on record for the region including bohol and cebu. the quake compl

however, the torrents of rain will be 200 millimeters. that includes the fukushima area as well. and more in haikodo. and further flooding and mud slides throughout the day. and we urge you to strongly not to leave your houses if you can. the gusts will still be strong across the pacific side, and the waves also very high from six to ten meters. down below across the water nooer the islands, we have a tropical depression that's likely to become a tropical storm status in the next 24 hours. keep an eye on this as well. a low pressure system over here, this was an ex-phenomenon that made land fall on monday. it is saturated from the previous typhoon that his these areas. any additional amounts of rainfall will cause further flooding and mud slides. towards the north, high pressure is on the korean peninsula and moving into japan. but this high pressure system is bringing the cold air. the temperatures will be dipping down to minus one, minus two, and in the cities across the northeastern areas. snow will be blanketing, and that's going to be moving into japan, creating some snow ac

and unto 300 millimeters are possible into friday so let lotts of rain is in sight. now down towards the south, we have another system of violent typhoon. this is the most powerful storm of the typhoon season so far. it could affect the islands with full force by tomorrow. now as you'll notice, these systems could get closer to each other if the distance is within 1 now kilometers an hour, we may see aly rare phenomenon. those systems could take strange movement, unpredictable movements that could start on your saturday. we'll keep you po posted on the storm's progress. up towards the north, we have low. the rain is in the forecast for much of the area. now across the america, the coolest air is coming in from the north affecting the eastern half of the u.s. we have frost advisories and freeze warnings in place for many areas. temperatures may drop down below freezing in some places. and lake-effect snow is likely for the great lakes region with up to 15 centimeters at most. now out towards the west looking drier, but thunder showers may happen over the four corners

and also rainfall totals, over about 50 millimeters in an hour's span. in the center of circulation at this time, winds at 200 kilometers per hour. it is expected to weaken, but that's still going to be relative, because we're still going to be seeing typhoon strength winds in the tokyo metro area. once you get winds that high, it is potentially going to cause some damage out here. a lot of the trains are expected to be running on a limited schedule. and i would highly advise people to stay home if you can here on wednesday. take a look at these winds, up to about typhoon strength, between 6:00 a.m. towards 9:00 a.m. rainfall totals about 60 millimeters in just an hour span in some of these areas. you'll be seeing this risk of flash flooding, even in tokyo. and not to mention if you're out near coastal areas, these winds potentially could be a higher, up around 160 kilometers per hour. so a lot happening with this storm. not to mention the overall amount of rainfall, up to 200 to 300 millimeters is going to be expected from the key peninsula extending of

that combined with this rainfall up to about 200 millimeters will likely cause coastal flooding as well as mudslides so we'll keep a very close eye on this system as we progress through this week. to the north, widespread showers and the west will see snow rather than rain in the higher elevations and we really need the precipitation is in and around beijing where the air pollution is on the dangerous level again and the high pressure dominates much of northern china and the korean peninsula and much of japan today and we're looking at clear skies. beautiful autumnal temperatures. 20 for the high in tokyo and 19 degrees even down toward iwate with pleasant conditions. mountains here are beautiful with autumn colors. leaves started to become golden and reddish a couple of weeks ago and the seasonal change is about ten days later than usual because the weather stayed warm until mid october. many hikers are enjoying the beautiful scene and the beautiful fall colors will continue until early next month. beautiful scenes coming up from there. now a move to europe. we've been talking about th

more than 800 millimeters of rain fell in 24 hours. more than double the monthly average and the worst downpour since data became available 75 years ago. local police and firefighters say all that rain caused the river to break its banks triggering deadly mudslides that swallowed homes. >> translator: the water knocked down my door and fridge. it was a total mess. >> translator: there was massive flood. i realized that the house that was supposed to be standing there had disappeared. i thought i must be dreaming. it couldn't be true. >> reporter: typhoon wipha literally reshaped the island. it carved this huge chunk out of mt. mihara. the avalanche of debris and trees reached the center of the town of oshima. more than 30 homes collapsed or were swept away. izu oshima is one of several islands off the east coast that are part of the tokyo metropolitan area. tokyo governor naoki inose says the town of oshima will be eligible for immediate relief. the typhoon has been downgraded to a low-pressure system, but officials with the japan mete

more than 800 millimeters fell in 24 hours. that's more than double the average rainfall for october, and the heaviest downpour on record. it was too much for some areas to absorb. >> translator: that hillside over there collapsed. the area behind that house is completely gone. >> reporter: wipha remained powerful in the tokyo metropolitan area too. it knocked down trees and cut power to thousands of homes. residents woke up to howling winds and driving rain. many found transportation disrupted just as they were heading to work. >> translator: the shinkansen bullet train was delayed, and the local line was also delayed, so i was late for work. >> translator: i had to cancel my business meeting this morning. >> reporter: the typhoon caused disruption throughout the region. airlines canceled more than 500 flights. rail companies reduced bullet trains and local train services. subway operators scaled back their schedules. by the afternoon, things were back to normal on many lines, and the storm weakened as it headed north. now tho

more than 200 millimeters in places.o many of us living in japan could be hit by the stormy conditions as we go into the next several days. further down toward the south, we have a heavy rain area over central and southern parts of thailand. heavy rain will continue for the next few days. so with the flooding landslides are a high risk. temperatures will be in the 30s to the south. to the north, cooler an average. only ten degrees here despite the sunshine. and tokyo at 27 degrees. warmer conditions will prolong throughout the week. now across the u.s., you can see vivid clouds right here. then this is the vicious storm which has a history of causing winter storm conditions and also a numerous number of tornadoes in the midsection of the u.s. over the weekend. now, this area is experiencing heavy rain at this moment. i want to show you video from louisville, kentucky. heavy rainfall continued to flood roads in louisville, kentucky, on sunday. many cars and motorists became stranded in the floodwaters. more than 100 peopl

tohoku area, 50 to 100 millimeters, and isolated areas could see up to 200 millimeters of rainfall here going through friday night into saturday. so something we want to continue to watch. i do think the bulk of the rough weather is going to be down here towards the west, and also across the southern japanese islands. i'll be back a little bit later on with more information on what's going on there. >>> a court in western japan has set a legal precedent for how atomic bomb survivors are compensated for their medical bills. they've been ordered to pay the bill of three people who received treatment in south korea. japanese law guarantees free health coverage for survivors, but only if they live in japan. the court awarded more than $13,000 to a south korean man, and the families of two other survivors who are now dead. the south korean man was an unborn baby in hiroshima when the bomb was dropped in 1945. the two deceased people were also in the city at the time. all three survivors later moved to south korea and received treatment. they applied to the osaka prefectural government for co

more than 800 millimeters of rain hit the island in 24 hours. that's more than double the monthly average. and the worst downfall since people started keeping records 75 years ago. the rain sent part of the mountain sliding down toward one community. more than 30 homes collapsed, or was swept away. a professor is an expert on landslides. he visited the site. mountain mihara is in the center of this ocean and has erupted repeatedly. the professor said the top layer is made of organic ash that's settled on lava about 800 years ago. he believes the rain loosened the layer causing it to slide away from where it had come into contact with the lava. >> translator: the top layer could have moved down the slope at 36 kilometers per hour or faster when it was saturated by rain. it might have reached the bottom almost instantly. >> reporter: the mud drug down trees that had covered the slope. he believed that made the damage to houses more serious. experts have warned there is still a risk of landslides on izu oshima. the rebuilding effort on this island

we are expecting more than 200 millimeters of rain to fall in some locations. the heaviest rain is going to be found in the yoesh ma islands. the risk of flooding and landslides will ten for the next couple of days i'm afraid. >> we'll be back later with more updates in world weather. >>> nuclear regulators in japan have simplified things for the people in charge of fukushima daiichi. they've allowed workers at the nuclear plant to change the way they release water from barriers around the storage tanks. the tanks hold radioactive water. they're surrounded by barriers.

lots of rain, especially in arkansas of about 120 millime r millimeters of additional rainfall. some thunderstorms could ignite some tornadoes. not really a nice day to go out for trick or treating. but winnipeg very chilly down here. up here actually. 8 degrees for your high. i'll leave you now for the extended forecast.

tokyo expecting about 50 millimeters in just a few hours. but that is on the tail of what's been happening down to the southwest into portions of ku shu, and off to the key peninsula. about 636 millimeters reported in a course of a few hours. video coming off just towards the north, where a rock actually rolled down the hill here, caused by a landslide due to the heavy rain at this location. you saw about 100 millimeters of rain. now, the good news, this train was not derailed. it did cause some damage and definitely a headache for a lot of commuters out here, but it's just one of the examples of what happens when you get the heavy rains, you get the rock slides, landslides. on a smaller scale than what we saw last year as wipha skirted the coastline. francisco is staying off the coast, but still bringing a heavy amount of rainfall. we'll be seeing heavy showers, even winds up to about 50 kilometers per hour is possible here. >>> japanese prime minister shinzo abe's cabinet has approved a bill protecting information designated as state secre

an additional 300 millimeters of rainfall is expected here in the next 24 hours. so still the risk of further flooding and landslides. just continuing to impact this area. as far as northern japan, it could be a lot worse because francisco is actually going to get wrapped up with likima. this one's going to start to pull it in from the west here and push it off to the east. so as far as this storm moving through north, it's actually going to move more eastward toward this one. good news there. powerful typhoon, as a matter of fact, 306 kilometer per hour winds up in the center of circulation. well over open ocean. only the fish will be impacted by this as it does push off. let's talk about what's going on in the americas, though. the big topic is the high pressure. look at this, the big high dominating. usually when you have a high big bubble, no trouble. pretty decent weather.

we are expecting more than 200 millimeters of rain to fall in some locations. the heaviest rain is going to be found in the yoesh ma islands. the risk of flooding and landslides will ten for the next couple of days i'm afraid. >> we'll be back later with more updates in world weather. >>> nuclear regulators in japan have simplified things for the people in charge of fukushima daiichi. they've allowed workers at the nuclear plant to change the way they release water from barriers around the storage tanks. the tanks hold radioactive water. they're surrounded by barriers. and rein wainwater builds up in. they have to test it to make sure it is safe. then they could release it into the compound. but in the last few weeks they've seen a number of storms, and they have not been able to keep up. water with unsafe levels of contamination has overflowed the barriers. so officials with tokyo electric power company asked if they could stop transferring the rainwater into other tanks. they want to test the water inside the barriers, then if it's safe release it. the regula

is 760 millimeters tall, it's about like this, huh, okay? when it's that tall, that's going to push down on the surface with just as much pressure as the atmosphere outside and so it'll stand right there. now let me ask you this commonsense question. what if the atmospheric pressure increases, what's going to happen to the mercury? it's gonna push it right up further, isn't it? it's going to push it up further until it's pushing down with the same pressure that the atmospheric pressure is exerting, isn't that true? and so what would happen if you took this barometer, this is a barometer, now right? let's suppose you put it in an elevator and took a ride to the top of a skyscraper. what's going to happen to the reading? it's going to do down. you guys ever feeling some of these skyscrapers going up, you can feel the reduced pressure, you really can and that barometer would pick it up. and so the barometer would fall the higher you got because there is less air up there, less air pressure. it kind of makes sense, doesn't it? what's above the c

if this is cycles per second or hertz and this is in like, millimeters, then your speed will be in millimeters per second. and it kinda makes sense. but this is the relationship that these are tied together like that which is kinda nice, you know? in general, we just say speed and c was for the speed of light. on the 300,000 kilometers per seconds, is that a convention for the convenience of math or that the actual speed. it's almost that actual speed. it's 299 and i can't remember the numbers, but it's very, very close to 300,000 kilometers per second. yeah, it's not--now, that's rounded off. and you will find that later on in the book, what the presently accepted value is. it's close to that. did you ever wonder about a radio wave, how long maybe the wavelengths might be? the wavelength we saw over here is about less than a meter. there are radio waves in this room, gang, you'd be knowing that. how long are these waves? are they tiny, tiny? are they big, big? well, we can find out. we can find out because if speed is frequency times wavelength and the speed of a radio wave-- does anyone here
