some areas, like southern china, may see 50 to 100 millimeters of rain into the next 24 hours. flooding and landslides will be an ongoing risk here. towards southwestern china, where the earthquake occurred on the weekend, sichuan province will continue to see on and off showers throughout the day that will raise the risk of landslides unfortunately. temperatures will be on the warmer side across china. 26 degrees here and 23 in beijing. and cherry blossoms are in bloom. let's look at this video. 2,000 cherry trees are in bloom in litate. the town has been evacuated since the nuclear disaster and residents gathered there for the first time in three years. it's been designated a restricted zone so people can only visit a short time. the 60 refugees gathered under the trees for an hour and couldn't stay longer because of radiation. at that time, it was quality but it will be a sunny day in the prefecture. and rainy conditions continuing across the east. and in quebec the next 24 hours and this cold front will have thunderstorms. the rainiest weather is found in pennsylvania and ne

so rain is going to intensify over southern china once again. one province may receive up to 100 millimeters of rain. flooding and landslides are going to be a big risk here. down towards the philippines we are seeing heavy rain, 88 millimeters of rain has been observed. more rain is going to be on the cards for you. baking hot day across bangkok. 38 degrees. but towards the north, cooler than average, in beijing 13 degrees. that's four degrees colder than what we saw on monday. okay. north america. we have winter storm warnings and advisories widely posted for the northern and central parts of the u.s. central parts of, excuse me, the rockies and the plains. and as you can see, the isobars are very close to each other. very fierce winds are blowing. so that's why we have blizzard warnings posted for parts of colorado as well as utah. they may receive up to 50 centimeters of snow. we could see freezing rain as well as ice pellets on the central plains on tuesday. but until then we have a risk of severe weather, severe thunderstorms, damage being

the north we have seeing snow persisting in northeastern china and rain sh growing hay cross southern china but rain is not going to be heavy, but we may see some heavy rain returning tomorrow. as for temperatures for east asia, a little bit cooler than what we saw on tuesday in bangkok request high of 36 degrees. towards the north a cool arab plas is blanketing, lowering temperatures. 14 degrees in beijing and single digits for new seoul. in north america there's a variety of weather happening. where you see winter like conditions across the west, severe weather in the south and midsummer conditions in the east. heavy snow is persisting in the northwest. we are seeing strong twinds as well. 30 centimeters is likely in some place us with strong winds visibility could drop down near zero. so driving is going to be dangerous. and in the south there is a risk of severe weather e we're atalking about the rixs of severe thunderstorms, large hail and damaging tornados. and it looks like a nasty weather their spread to the mississippi valley as well as the mid atlantic region as we head into wedne

towards the south we could see rain intensify for southern china. this rain will come towards the south as we head into the next couple of days. so hong kong may start to see rain tomorrow. temperatures in china will be on the rise for example in chongqing your high could be 27 degrees on wednesday. it could go up to 32 degrees on your saturday. meanwhile, 23 in beijing. it will stay almost the same into your saturday. but tokyo slightly cooler than asonal with high around 17 degrees. rain may start around noon today. now in north america, we can see thick clouds extending from canada to texas. underneath it mostly rain, which is not good news for people particularly in the midwest, because their area has been dealing with excessive amounts of rainfall since april. grand rapids, you have 250 millimeters of rain since the beginning of april, which is a record for this area. unfortunately, more rain is expected to come here. the river levels have reached the highest on record in some places so rain is not going to be good news for this area. as we go i

. >> the weather is really a big part of the the clean up efforts here in southern china.n the next 24 hours we're seeing scattered rain showers out here in this heavily impacted region. the good news is that on wednesday, some improving conditions will be coming in. everybody out there living in tents now homeless following the earthquake. you definitely don't want any of these rain showers overhead. that's going to shift off to the east still, and you're going to see areas up here. but a few isolated regions could get up to 100 millimeters of rainfall. so we have mudslides and steeper elevations. so owl this warm air coming out -- you should watch out for this. it's going to continue to shift to the east here. you're going to start seeing rain showers going into tuesday evening. that's going to work it's way from tokyo. now the thing about this, though, there is some light in it, it will be surging all of this warm air ahead of it. be can see some snow over the weekend. so i want to watch out for that. that will cause snow melt and and risk of an avalanche here. temperat

malay peninsula will see heavy rain into tomorrow and southern china areas particularly near the border of myanmar will see haven't rain up to 100 millimeters likely enough to trigger flooding as well as landslides. and a cool air mass create iing different temperatures and hail at risk today. temperatures baking hot towards the south, 37 degrees in bangkok, but 17 in beijing and much cooler in soul, 10 degrees and 15 degrees. but we're in the middle of spring, the most colorful season of the year. i want to show you this video. a field of tulips is in full bloom in this prefecture. a local tourist group started growing tulips years ago in hopes of making them a spring attraction. some 50,000 bulbs were placed on a 2 kilometer field last december. they bloomed one week earlier than usual thanks to the warm weather. if the weather remains coopera e cooperative people will be able to enjoy them another week. it seems the dog is also enjoying the beautiful scene. blooming flowers in the northern half of europe is behind schedule because of the extended winter and finally we will be seeing

towards the north then, we are seeing snow persisting in northeastern china and rain growing across southern china. the rain is not going to be heavy but we may see heavy rain returning tomorrow. as for temperatures for east asia, a little bit cooler than what we saw on tuesday in bangkok request high of 36 degrees. towards the north a cool air blast is blanketing, lowering temperatures. 14 degrees in beijing and single digits in seoul. in north america there's a variety of weather happening. where you see winter like conditions across the west, severe weather in the south and mid-summer-like conditions across the east. heavy snow is persisting in the northwest. we are seeing strong winds as well. 30 centimeters is likely in some places with strong winds visibility could drop down near zero. so driving is going to be very dangerous. and to the south, there is a risk of severe weather. warmer weather to the south and we're talking about the risks of severe thunderstorms, large hail and damaging tornados. and in the southern plains on tuesday. and it looks like a nasty weather will spread to the mis

in asia, we're looking at heavy rain across the peninsula and southern and china peninsula.t has been an ongoing story for a week and flooding risk is very high. flooding is going to be very high due to the amount of rain pouring in southeastern areas. that will continue to the weekend. towards the north of that, things are pretty dry. looking at temperatures, tokyo, 22. seoul at 16 for today. that will be dropping in towards the weekend. we want that warmth in the weekend but i guess it won't work that way. here's your extended forecast. >>> that is all for this edition of "newsline." i'm catherine kobayashi in tokyo. thanks for joining us.

the chinese did that in southern china. many places around the world have had malaria problems-- brazil-- that they've brought under control. not so in africa. eradication efforts are erratic. yellow fever is another mosquito-transmitted virus that the french encountered when they occupied west africa. so the way the french dealt with this was to conduct an ongoing every-four-year campaign to vaccinate every person in every country they occupied. they had groups of doctors and nurses--that's all they did. they just went from village to village on this four year cycle. that way, the most that could happen is you'd have a group of susceptible children, but it would never get very big before you'd be through vaccinating the next time around. that way, they kept yellow fever under control. now, when those countries became independent, there wasn't money for those programs. and i got introduced to yellow fever in africa because, in 1965... some seven or eight years after senegal got its independence, there was a big epidemic of

but also to china to have nuclear bombers that close on the korean peninsula there on the on china's southern border i think that china will be pleased with that either so this is this is quite an escalation that's taking place right now so what actions would prompt dissolve the korea to actually carry out a preemptive strike against its neighbors. well i don't know if that's something that we're looking at really realistically i think that the most likely scenario here would be some sort of blunder or misinterpretation on one side or the other because everything is on the knife edge as as i've said before i think that really the all of the players here have a vested interest in keeping the tension up but not allowing it to spill over and i think that obviously works for north korea which could be easily wiped out in military confrontation but it also works for south korea and america and all of the allies here in this region that are that also serve to benefit from this and we've seen this directly for example with the announcement of more missile defense on the western coast of the united s

into the next 72 hours, 180 millimeters or so of rain is likely in southern portions of china. as for japan, they can expect up to 100 millimeters of rain. that's for the next three days. for temperatures, 18 in shanghai, pretty avenue for this time of year, and bangkok is sizzling at 36. it is the dry season now. and much of the china peninsula is experiencing these temperatures in the upper 30s. >> into the americas and the pacific northwest that is coming in from dc down through california. you'll be seeing wet weather. of course rain, temperatures around the mid teens at the moment up toward the northwest. in the mountains you will be seeing snow. a few centimeters, anyway. pretty quiet in the center of the continent, and then we move into this very slow system that is continuing to push out toward the atlantic coast. so places like the carolinas, florida, and georgia, you will see storms from this system. you're likely to see strong gusts as well, large hail, damaging winds, and potential for tornadoes as well on your thursday before the system finally starts to move out.

southern japan, eastern china, things will be on the dry side.outheastern china not so much the case. you're going to see a developing low pressure area here bringing light rain showers at times. nothing too severe but definitely going to be dampening out the end of your work week. meanwhile into the tropics we're also looking at some areas of low pressure which is bringing some rain showers across southern portions of the philippines. into thailand and malaysia specifically. you've seen some flooding the past several days and unfortunately, the next several days it is going to continue to add up. at least adding to some relief from the relentless heat which going on. bangkok, high 37 for you. tokyo, you're going to be getting into the 20s into the week. as low pressure areas push by, it will gradually start to warm back up. let's talk about the americas where things are absolutely hot and sizzling toward the east. very cold into the midwest, into the higher plains. that's because we are seeing this severe weather system develop up just towards t

that could lower visibility slowing in from central china to southern korea. it won't reach japan. we have two systems in japan. we're likely to see thunderstorms in the afternoon hours. another system impacting the northern areas of japan. that includes snow. we have 10 centimeters reported in the past 24 hours in okay doe. and we will see snow melt and the avalanche risk will be in the higher elevations. at 20 degrees warmer than average and shanghai at 24, that's down to the average range on your thursday. beijing will be down to the single digits at 9 degrees on friday, we're looking at minus 1 degree on your wednesday high. now, moving to north america, we have winter storms slamming the north. north dakota, 70 centimeters, wyoming, 70 centimeters. that's not going to be improving. we have another round of heavy snow across the four corners and upper west region, talking 60 centimeters additional snowfall in higher elevations and the valley side. that will cause major travel disturbances yet again. underneath that freezing rain and very dangerous for driving conditions. toward

china. 28 celsius. some sunshine coming through here. not so much sunshine across southern areas of china. southerly winds, very heavy rain pushing all the way up. big down throws -- take down storms coming through here. we get showers diminishing across the mountains. inning increasingly wet china. >> welcome back. a quick reminder of our top stories. hopes are fading in bangladesh of finding any more survivors in the rubble of the building that collapsed on wednesday. the death toll stands at 390, making it the worst industrial disaster in bangladesh's history. iraq has revoked the licenses of 10 satellite-tv channels including al jazeera, accusing them of inciting sectarian violence. the move comes after months of sunni unrest that boiled over last week. a government raid on a protester cap turned violent. one of the policemen shot outside the office in rome remains in serious condition. two police officers were shot as prime minister letta was sworn at the presidential palace. fighters in northern mali are holding 48 prisoners with suspected links to al qaeda, and many are teenagers. r
