very dry across much of mongolia and china. we will see a few showers south of china here. scattered thunder storms for the philippines here. it is going to be a bit heavier towards the north today and that will move down in toward the south for the weekend. now, japan has been seeing that snow piling up in the west coast for the last several weeks. we actually have a storm moving through now. so it is really going to be intensifying, leafy snow accompanied by thunderstorms. and that will be some rough seas for you. especially the western coast there, high waves as well and blowing snow from thursday into saturday. all right, let's look at temperatures now. tokyo, 11 degrees. o we are just into double digits in shanghai. and then low 30s for ma minila well as bangkok. storms on the northern tier of the continent here. nothing much towards the south but we have a couple of very potent storms. one on the pacific northwest here. this is bringing plomountain sn. and rain towards the coast, now parts of southern bc, can you see about 50 millimeters of rain. that is certainly eno

in behind that, things looking dry and settled for much of mongolia as well as china, although very coolsay the least. manila, the philippines, still seeing heavy showers and winds coming in from the northeast and will also see lingering showers across vietnam, cambodia and laos. we were talking about the temperatures. no problems down in the tropics, in the low 30s as we usually see this time of year. hong kong at 21. by the end of the week, actually comes down to 17. still fairly comfortable. shanghai coming down to about 7 by the end of the week. we are going to see temperatures cooling down. average in seoul and beijing. minus 20 in ulan bator. getting significantly cooler up further towards the north. heading now into north america, many will see sunny skies, but very cool conditions as the skies are very clear. we see all of the very cool air spilling in. so do watch for subzero temperatures. particularly in your overnight hours. as we head into the east, that's when we run into our storms. now, we are going to be seeing the snow falling pretty heavy and pretty wet. anywhere from t

the korean peninsula, mongolia as well as china looking dry as well, but wet and windy here in the philippines. especially the eastern seaboard affected by eastern monsoonal flow. as for temperatures, manila and bangkok, a pair of 30s. we're looking at ulan bator, the high for tuesday, minus 15, and 8 degrees for the tuesday high, chilly for us tomorrow. let's head over to north america and talk about this potent frontal system that will be disturbing this pacific northwest area for the next several days. i'm talking about coastal heavy rainfall as well as gusty situations. gusts could actually build up to about 100 kilometers per hour. heavy snow is not going to be seen in the central area, but gusts also very strong. this could actually also reach up to 100 kilometers per hour and sustained winds. we're talking about 50 kilometers per hour in some areas. so even if the snow is not too significant, that can combine and become blowing snow and blizzard conditions. now, here, gulf moisture. there's enough of that to bring you showers in the gulf states, which could be heavy at times. you see th

dry once again and very chilly for many of you in the east asian continent here from mongolia down inds southern china we're going to be seeing icy blast of air. now, while the temperatures are not going to get too cold down towards the south, still down to about 16 degrees in hong kong. which is a little bit chilly for you there. we'll be looking at the rest of the temperatures in just a second. drying out here in the eastern coast of china. just a few lingering showers here clinging to the southeast coast. as for japan and the korean peninsula, some areas of heavier rain here, too, we'll be seeing snow out towards the north of japan. but as one system pulls away, the pacific edge should be drying out for friday. where we see some heavier rain is going to be taiwan in toward the philippines and we see the lingering showers for parts of vietnam, as well as laos and cambodia. 17 in hong kong and taipei. just 7 in shanghai. 0 in seoul, 1 in beijing. a chilly day in the capital. minus 12 for the high in ulan bator. let's take a look in north america. many of you seeing clear sunny skies,

high pressure across much of mongolia, as well as china.will be hazy and foggy for many of you in the southeast. especially in the early hours of the morning it could make for dangerous driving. so do watch that. as for japan, a low pressure moving up towards the north, that's going to be bringing a winter storm. so more of the heavy snow. but also with it, thunderstorms, potential for avalanches and very rough seas, especially for the northwestern seaboard. speaking of rough seas, we'll be seeing those for the eastern seaboards and the philippines, as well as indochina, a strong northeasterly flow, just continuing and along with it, showers, too. down in the tropics, the lee 30s, in minella and bangkok. into the double digits for shanghai as well as chongqing on friday. tokyo looking for 9 degrees for the high, 1 in beijing and minus 4 in ulan bator. let's go now to north america. we have a pacific storm which is going to be causing a few problems up here across western canada. and in the intermountain west. on the mountains you can see so

it is going to be very clear once again across the korean peninsula as well as mongolia and china here. mainland eastern asia. also up towards the north of japan, showers are moving away now. it will be very cool across much of the region. now down in japan we are going to see still more showers to come especially along the pacific edge of the country. and those temperatures will be low before they start to come back up into the weekend. heading further south it is going to stay on the warmer side showers starting to clear out of southern china here but it will be clinging on to that southeastern edge of indochina and continuing across the philippines as well. 17 degrees in hong kong. a little bit on the cool side for you this time of year. 18 in taipei. we have 11 in shanghai. just into the double digits there. that's a big drop for you, too. minus 13. in ulan bator. 4 in beijing. we are looking for 8 in tokyo. let's head no into north america. more winter weather here in north america. western canada, this will be bringing showers into coastal british columbia but bringing snow on th

taking note of your concerns about resources but the realistic potential for afghanistan to join mongolia as a twenty-first century resource based economy for industrializing neighbors like china? >> that is certainly a viable path, i am not sure they will achieve it. people talk about the enormous mineral wealth in afghanistan and i remind them there is a reason is all still in the ground. there are significant challenges. there are infrastructure challenges which is why the process of getting the major things that are already up there, copper and iron and getting those going is capital intensive infrastructure intensive and so it is going to take a decade before those revenues are felt within the afghan economy. the good news about that is there's time to improve government. more important than the direct revenues in the afghan budget, be industries springing up around the creation of extracted themselves will be major generators of economic activity. employment. mining itself is not always the most intensive activity but building roads, railroads and businesses to support the mines and
