it is heading towards taiwan. as it does so it may weaken just a little bit but it's already affecting taiwan with showers and strong winds and as this typhoon gets closer it will become heavier and stronger, affecting okinawa on monday as well. now apart from that typhoon, we have a severe tropical storm talas which is going to be intensifying as well on saturday morning it will become a strong typhoon and it will be affecting the ogasawara islands in japan on monday. it is heading towards the north and towards japan so we really do want to track this system as well. now the active front is, looks like it's going to be moving away from japan. we've already had numerous flooding reports in kyushu and kan t kanto regions. 94.5 millimeters per hour, high for the month of august and nerima and haneda airport, lots of arrivals and departures were canceled and postponed on your friday. now we're looking at additional amount of 150 millimeters in kanto regions so warnings for flooding, landslides and mudslides are a cri

so even before the first communication to us that chinese invited us to turn over taiwan to china. we have replied that we were willing to talk about the issue of taiwan but only in relation to all other issues of asia and in the world come and the chinese accepted that, so that was already a huge before we ever got there. but then one has to remember the united states under president roosevelt in the declaration of 1943 had declared that the united states considers taiwan to be a part of china. so the fact that china belong to tie one had never been revoked by any american president. the only condition made was the takeover for the union to be peaceful. so, what we got around this problem signing a communique in which each side stated its own views that the chinese people on both sides of the taiwan straits assert that there is only one china. the united states would say that's not challenge the so that was the way of accepting one the china but we still did not recognize beijing as the government of china, nixon of the country that has the capitol of that country. so if you look
