actually, where this air is coming from is back towards siberia and there's been reports in parts of far eastern russia of the temperature around minus 40 to minus 50 this morning. that gives you an idea of how cold and dry this area is. once it moves over the sea of japan, it picks up that moisture and continues to dump it here, especially where it funnels together here around the hoku region. you may see 90 centimeters of snowfall. the additional accumulation we're expecting through friday, saturday and even into sunday, this pattern will stay in place with the northwesterly winds. the cold air is going to dominate all of japan heading through the weekend. so even if you're in tokyo, you're not going to see any snow. don't worry about that. temperatures will continue to plummet for a 6 as a high on saturday, low below the freezing point. blizzard conditions across northern japan. be careful, especially if you're traveling into the mountains. avalanche risk is going to continue to be high. >> thank you very much, meteorologist roger speta will join us with more updates. >>> russia i

cold air is flowing in siberia, that is getting ample moisture over the sea of japan and a lot of snow clouds are forming along the northwestern side of the country. there's a high mountain range in the middle of the country. typically dry across the pacific side. but this time winds are quite strong and we have the coldest air of the season blanketing the area. so even the pacific side like nagoya and sendai will see snow. >> now we combine with gusty conditions. visibility will be quite low making for hazardous drivingng conditions. not just snow, thunderstorms and high waves are expected. the coldest air of the seesen is blanketing most of the station, so tokyo will stay dry, but it's going to be quite chilly. the daytime high on the weekend is only six degrees and on sunday morning, the temperature is going to be minus 2 degrees, so stay warm. back to you. >>> south korean media are reporting that a special prosecutor's team is considering an arrest warrant for the head of the country's largest conglomerate, samsung group. the prosecutors spent all night questioning the vice chairm

in 2014, i caught up with president putin in siberia and challenged him. malaysian, british, dutch. ukraine? translation: the main problem is that the authorities in kiev do not want a political dialogue with the east of their country. in moscow today the line remains, russia has done nothing wrong. there is no russian aggression. no agenda for a greater russia? there is no agenda for a greater russia. we want to have a strong and self—sufficient country. but there are no plans for any expansion of russia. so will america change tack on ukraine? this week, trump has said that in return for a nuclear weapons deal he might lift sanctions. trump has to be mindful of russia's very clear interests in ukraine and how their politics ultimately play out. i do think that there are some thorny issues regarding crimea, regarding ukraine that trump is going to have to work through with putin. they are within the sphere of influence of his country. they're on his borders. he has every right to have concerns about them and what we're doing in these regards. but if donald trump turns a blind eye t

there you see the extent of the cold air surging its way out of siberia in scandinavia and moving a good like in reality. these are scenes from bucharest, where you can see the extent of the snow, a couple of metres fell widely across the balkans and it is the strength of the wind which has exacerbated both are problems with the snow and also the general cold feel. the isobars are running around that high pressure, down across eastern europe, through the balkans and into the eastern mediterranean and up again back across turkey and towards the black sea and the caspian, but it's that direction of flow and the strength of that flow which has just added to that winter chill and we suspect that through the course of the weekend, we will see more disturbed weather through the mediterranean and up across turkey on towards the black sea and off towards ukraine. that is the sort of temperature profile that people are experiencing just at the moment. there is some winter sunshine in rome but you will need a lot of layers to go with your sunglasses andi layers to go with your sunglasses and i don
