this is tropical sign klein. actually tropical cycling for tropical sky fun and bring in some windy conditions it will likely move across the gulf of carpentaria while intensifying. you can get very close to the north coast of the northern territory. by wednesday or thursday as a category one storm that struck in the wings along with heavy rainfall and high surf on likely to occur here this wine had eight will likely move away from australia but the storm on diamonds and then out to on this will be endeavoring to the fire siren was heard to fill the stormy conditions on your thursday that the new actor is old old antiques piercing stormy conditions due to the beef roast on a suspended named lucy lucy is now a tropical cycle and i had a great one will likely become a tropical cycling which is a category theory a bit the next couple of bass and ben hecht wars new zealand. it could hit new zealand by the weekend so there's a lot going on across the southern hemisphere ellis said about the americana so it's still in

and we have three named tropical systems at this time. you can see one here in the gulf of carpentaria, and another over by sven watt u in fiji. let's talk about these two near the queensland coast where they've already been bringing some rainfall. gillian and hati. both relatively weak. they would just be barely holding on to tropical storm status. one slightly intensifying. could become a category 2. the good news it is moving off toward the northeast and will be gradually weakening out as it moves away from land. also gillian now an ex-tropical cyclone expected to reintensify. they're going to be bringing some rainfall. wouldn't expect anything too significant or two serious to be coming out of them. the stronger one out toward the east, lucy, now that one is moving southeast but as it does intensify to a category 3 about the equivalent of a typhoon in the northern hemisphere, it's going to be out to sea. overall, i know it looks really grim when you look at it at first but the big threat is going to be the heavy rain and that risk of

one of which is simply that the tropics are where most species live. so if you consider for a moment for example, trees. so canada's forest is largest intact forest left on the planet it covers almost a billion acres, and in that whole expanse there's only about 20 species of tree that you can find. now, here we're in a crowd forest in the andys in peru so you're looking down a ridge from the very high andys from about 12,000 pete. and some scientists here, scientist named myles soman works at wake forest university laid out tree plots along this ridge. at different elevations, and each of those plots is about 2 and a half acres exactly 2 and a half acres and in these plots you can get up to 100 different species of tree in just two and a half acres. so five times as many species as you get in a billion acres up in canadian forest that shows you there's a whole lot more species living in the tropics. and what they've done in these plots is they've tagged and measured and ided by species every tree with a diameter over o four inches. and this sort of le

there's the cold front, winds here could be tropical storm force winds with the storm system through at least tonight and finally seeing improving conditions tomorrow before perhaps more gaza stripy winds return on thursday morning towards the area. but speaking of what was happening around the northeast with a nor'easter developing, this storm system pushing in around the northeast here some time early wednesday morning, snow showers prevalent from washington, d.c. out towards new york city, boston, going to see the heavier accumulations, about three to four inches possible there with the heaviest totals coming out of portions of newfoundland, halifax, 30% out of flights out of halifax have been cancelled over the next few hours here as the sun comes up. about 20 centimeters, or about eight inches of snow in the forecast there. >>> lovely spring, isn't it? just great. >> >> dark for a lot of folks, yeah. >> great, t.j., thanks. >>> the passengers on flight 370 came from all around the world and from all walks of life. they were artists, executive, grand parents and children. >> ande

numerous tropical systems down here. the gulf of carpentaria, you really have been seeing this one, gillian has been dropping a tremendous amount of rain fall, also hadi which was lingering near the queensland coastline. this is moving off toward the northeast. both of these ex-tropical cyclones at this time but it is still bringing some rainfall. you can see gillian near the immediate coast, a few areas could see 100 to 200 millimeters of rain, and that's on top of what has already fallen. take a look at the past seven days. 300 to 400 millimeters in a few areas just offshore of queensland. a high dropped upwards of 500 millimeters of rainfall. that is separate from lucy which has been blamed for one death now in vanuatu and that is still bringing the showers and that's the stronger of the storms, a category 2 at this time on the cyclone scale. winds about 93 kilometers per hour. it is expected to continue to intensify. good news it's moving out to sea. bad news, it will continue to move south and possibly impact new ze

a tropical cyclone threatens to slow down effort. three airplanes have been added, widening the area, officials hoping to cover more than 10,000 nautical miles. >> some significant developments in the last 24 hours. the revelation at the press conference in kuala lumpur that a chinese satellite had a newage of an object roughly 22 metres. that's sizeable. importantly, that was to the south-west of where an australian satellite thought it had spotted an object two days earlier. i say significant, because the planes leaving from the base north of perth had been looking slightly to the north-east thinking the current ents and tides would take it in that direction. this is the opposite direction, which may explain why the spotter planes may not have seen knifg. the planes, eight taking off will be heading for the now expanded area trying to spot the objects. also the civilian plane with spotters. they thought they spotted a number of objects. they couldn't be sure. they redirected a military plane. all it could sea was seaweed. tony abbo

see what else is going on in the tropics for the southern hemisphere. we did have three cyclones earlier this week. now, at least the ones around australia continuing to weaken out here. this is the remnants of hadi, it is still moving off towards the northeast. but a low pressure area now. ex-cyclone gillian still bringing some showers there in the gulf of carpentaria. possibility of this reintensifying but the biggest threat is just going to be the rain. with the storm that we are really watching closely, though, has already been blamed for one death out here is lucy. now lucy is moving off towards the east/southeast, winds about 111 kilometers per hour. it's moving away from vanuatu. the bad news, take a look at the track, and then by saturday into sunday, this moves down there towards new zealand. the north island definitely over the weekend you're going to be looking at blustery conditions and the risk of heavy rain. if you remember last week christchurch on the south island saw some record-breaking flooding. as that does track off it could bring t

over the millennia, grand city-states emerged in the tropics of mexico, guatemala and honduras. this is the realm of the ancient maya. they built magnificent cities and peopled them with the portraits of their kings. these are the ruins of copan in honduras. the mystery of the rise and fall of these maya kingdoms has fascinated archaeologists for centuries. it is a puzzle presented in 1839 by the words and etchings of explorers frederick catherwood and john stephens. "architecture, sculpture and painting, "all the arts which embellish life "had flourished in this overgrown forest. "the city was desolate. "it lay before us like a shattered bark "in the midst of an ocean, "her masts gone, her crew perished, "and none to tell whence she came, "to whom she belonged, "how long on her voyage, or what caused her destruction." now, 150 years later, the puzzle first put forth by stephens and catherwood is being pieced together. archaeologists are rebuilding the ancient city of copan -- a thirty-acre maze of ball courts and plazas, monumental sculpture and colossal stairways. intricate an
