to story frankly the people that were pushed the that statement was too tough maybe it wasn't tough enough. this not make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never see it's a very terrifying question what could possibly be more intense than fire and fury when trump was asked he just ominously responded with you'll see but it is clear that he has no plans to back down whatsoever because that is there it's a state that has nothing to do with there that's a statement now trumps remarks are just the latest in a series of aggressive exchanges between the president n.p.r. netting but has escalated to the point of north korea state media outlining a possible plan to attack the u.s. territory of guam a threat that trump says kim jong own will not get away with and when the question

was posed to the president if americans should be frightened by the current state of affairs trump said in fact the opposite is true that north korea should be the nervous party here if. north korea does anything in terms of even thinking about attack. of anybody that we love what we represent do our allies or us they could be very very nervous i'll tell you what they should be very dearest those things will happen to them like they never thought possible north korea better get their act together where they're going to be trouble like few days should ever have been a trouble in this world now well term profuse a comment on whether the u.s. . considering a preemptive strike against banning he spoke about the importance of the u.s. military and his plans to drastically beef up their defense budget by quote many billions of dollars and this is all because of the threat posed by north korea and a strange twist while term spoke of strengthening america's arsenal he also warned that nuclear power is the world's greatest threat stating that he would like to

denuclearize the world yet on wednesday he tweeted about the us a strong and powerful nucular stockpile hinting that it could be used if necessary so while other nations are still pushing for a democratic resolution threats flying back and forth seem to be pushing the world closer and closer to the edge of war with possible nuclear implications however america's close allies britain and germany are calling on the u.s. president to deescalate tensions well even at home also faced opposition u.s. senator ed markey says that trumps hostile rhetoric is the opposite of what's needed and could sleepwalk the country into war we also spoke to a former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. who says that such threats put trump on the same level as north korea's leader. i don't see the plus in these threats were we getting something in return from these president's threats i don't see it i've never seen the tension so high in the korean peninsula i'm extremely concerned i hope the president's advisers rein him

in general kelly you know the new chief of staff he's got to tell the president you can't conduct foreign policy the way you're doing with words with fiery words exchanges stooping to the level of kim june in the north koreans who generate this rhetoric almost every day but this rhetoric has gotten a lot more intense also from the north korean side. china meanwhile has condemned trump's fire and fear remarks maging warned the u.s. president against playing with fire over north korea said any accidental spark could trigger a conflict what's more chinese state media reports the country will protect the north korean regime if the u.s. decides to strike first of the possibility of military confrontation is causing a split among america's allies australia says it will stand shoulder to shoulder with washington a new zealand says is not ready to support any aggressive military action we stand

folder to shoulder with the united states the anzus treaty means that if america was attacked we will come to their right if a stranger is attacked the americans will come to our right we are joined at the hip the american alliance is the bedrock of our national security committing to an aggressive response now while encouraging all involved to avoid escalation is not a position we want to take well to face when it comes to north korea hasn't gone unnoticed on social media with twenty years or is getting the impression the president's becoming more like a character from a popular t.v. series killer mop and has more. when donald trump threaten north korea with fire and fury everyone online apparently had the same thought game of thrones north korea best not make it in with threats to the united states. they will be met with a five year period. like the world has never seen. now

arguably the only other world leader whose tirade sound as much like a fantasy villains is kim jong un so we decided to go out and give americans on the street a little quiz we'll give them the quote and they tell us was it was it kim jong un or was it game of thrones the days are gone forever when our enemies could blackmail us game with their own game of thrones. game of thrones out. donald trump game of thrones that's kim jong un ok all right. i tried you know as many people as i can you never know which one you'll need. non-neutral also donald trump donald trump game of thrones you're correct that is game of yes ok all right our military will be given the resources that it's brave warriors richly deserve. control from them game of thrones.

donald trump you're right that's donald trump i will not allow the mistakes of the recent decades to define the course of our future. game of thrones donald trump donald trump i'm just going to go with donald trump again that's correct and you're right you're right we can keep any cesspool of evils in the earth including them within our striking range game of thrones came for its. game with their own. can john correct your enemies steals and murders your children. came down on donald trump to be. mayor of their own game of thrones. well you train it's game of thrones. it will be r t new york. a group in the u.k. calling itself the x. muslim council has been stirring controversy members attended an l.g. parades in london on shoes day they have the banners denouncing islam and accusing

muslims of homophobia in particular they blame the east london mosque for promoting hatred towards homosexuality according to the group this mosque quote has a long history of posting hate preachers. the east london mosque has responded accusing the group of feeding and to islamic hysteria but if muslim council refuses to apologize saying it does not need anyone's permission to march for l g b t rights we heard contrasting views on the story. gets people is always wrong with muslim or anyone else but criticizing bigoted intolerant ideas is entirely right and proper i hold the likes of i have a lot of respect for the human rights over the years he's deeply misguided that what he supports an organization that has made it mission to demonize islam and the religious belief of muslims in this country around the world many of us who are

marching or individuals from muslim heritage so i myself am a british pakistani who grew up as a gay individual in with and this is my community i have no interest in galvanizing hate against muslims because i will be subjected to that same hate this group was targeting islam must homophobia it wasn't targeting muslim people or even islam in german or the council of muslims has never criticized or condemned muslim people it is only condemned and criticized is the most extremists who advocate hatred and violence against the people if these people have left islam and that's their right let's accept that they got a right to live there why are they constantly obsessing about islam they need to get a life move on enjoy their life on their new freedom as they tell is asking us to leave the religion and then be silent about. kin across the world who are being

victimized by muslim states is a request they are rampant islam the four big organization they are responsible for promoting hatred against muslims now. let's just say that is there a council lex christians is there a council of us jews a council of x. induce a council of x. eeks where religion is legislating against people like gays we were trying to say that we were challenging. i was trying to meaningful ways holding signs for very thought provoking have i moved to use discussion and dialogue some of the smallest possible details on a use in the expense accounts happen exposed after a long fought battle and it's first class all the way for those in brussels that story and more coming your way after a short break. when i was sure seemed wrong. but i. just don't. let me.

get to shape out these days you can't educate and in the game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the feeling. every. experience. you get on the old the old. according to josh.

that. come along for the rye. welcome back private jets and lavish will tell us are not just the reserve of the rich and famous these days knew they were these details covering just the first two months of twenty sixteen show commissioners racked up half the bills on foreign johns but the tabs as usual left to be picked up by taxpayers. but it's visits to observe by john the first visits to your country our meetings today encounter with foreign minister question good discussions on a range of issues a wide strange of issues and also talked

a lot. of european commission presiding over is not a group of technocrats but is composed of politicians this is not a commission that would promote the virtues of a foolish and blind policy. but it's not only about the money. even if he doesn't. it doesn't play might overlook the lavish lifestyles of e.u. officials were only exposed after campaigners waged a three year battle for the release of travel expense records we spoke to the spanish transparency ngo access in full which first attain the documents they say they're only they've only scratched the surface hundred twenty requests made freedom of information access to documents requests was actually for the whole year

of twenty six thing however the commission decided unilaterally to only release information at this point for january and february twenty sixth they felt that it was an image to do and it was disproportionate to release information for the whole year now that doesn't seem to make sense given that they also have this information passed on to the auditor's and to the parliament so if the data is already collected and is made available to those. institutions then why can't it be made public more generally. and he used spokespersons defended the travel expenses but critics say sometimes it's difficult to see where there is value for money the the european commission we and unlike the national government don't own any airplanes and do not have to think that they do therefore it's just our own plane that's why we have to park. whenever there is no other civility oh that

in when a commercial flight would not be viable because of the then the constraints of the kitchen or because of security we didn't often really people tell me these expensive trips and then they just come out with fairly innocuous statements at the end of them that they really achieve much less the coming benefits from face to face meetings are so you know it's good that there's a focus on those problems in armenia and azerbaijan but really the hasn't been much progress for a long time now given they are spending taxpayers' money they ought to try and get those places as cheaply as possible within reason and if you look at for example it's a mr young because trips abroad there are several direct flights from brussels to write every single day on a normal sexual balance so why couldn't they have called on those normal slice instead of booking this private jet. a german journalist has found herself big in the news as opposed to reporting on it as after she claimed in an interview with german media is biased towards the government and its coverage of the refugee

crisis claudia simmons said that journalists are instructed to report in a pro-government way when it comes to the migrant crisis adding that they are compelled to cover the issue in a positive light the revelation was made back in january twenty sixth journey an interview about the cologne sex attacks as she gave to a dutch radio station as a topic superman has covered extensively our sister channel r.t. george spoke exclusively to the journalists in the middle of the controversy. journalists tend to support chancellor merkel's refugee policy throughout the media not just at the chain. i worked for some journalists including me trying to pitch more critical stories but they were not approved that's why i spoke out stories that failed to welcome or support this policy are being blocked honestly at first i did not understand the situation the whole situation that occurred because of this as a channel stated there was a lot of damage in a public field i cooperated and did everything possible to minimize the damage to

the w d r t.v. channel i'm officially not fired just don't approve my pitches my stories haven't changed yet but it suddenly turned out there i'm not trustworthy anymore. a report published in june this year came to media outlets are closing their eyes to the concerns and fears of the german population with regard to the country's migration policy call the assemblyman claims there are topics journalists want to cover but are simply not allowed to. i would wish to many more colleagues there to do more critical coverage the pressure comes from to top down i know from some colleagues that there are certain topics which they would like to cover but these topics were not approved because they were too critical because they don't fit to forment of to program i think it's significant it would be significant for journalism in germany . wildfires in italy have torn their way through thousands of hacked or so far this

year that's partly due to a record breaking heat wave s.k. partners explains there are more sinister reasons too. as temperatures soar across southern europe wildfires have become common particularly in italy. but the sheer number of forest fires has raised suspicions and police have discovered that many fires are less acts of god than acts of some very desperate men and the causes themselves are eyebrow raising in sicily fifteen volunteer policemen have been arrested for either starting or reporting fires so they could earn an extra ten euros an hour the putting them out for suspicions were raised when the number of fires went up usually volunteer number. two hundred twenty the alleged ringleader a man known as hddvd is even under house arrest as he apparently constant his practice of driving to an area and sparking up while police indeed say he is one

twisted firestarter he said he wanted to set of a bomb to take the money available if the emergency vehicles needed to be repaired another scandal like the fires has also spread to road where two hundred hectares of a nature reserve have gone up in flames and so powerfully has the reputation of a former t.v. director local media citing the investigation claim it's part of a racket you've started the fires to intimidate a group of transvestite prostitutes working in the area to make them pay their protection money where he was found with a flyer in one hand and a lighter in the other one could perhaps say the evidence against him is incendiary . thanks for staying with us get across what's happening at r.t. doc on and on our social media pages well i'll be back with more news at the top of the hour. social environment. right now with. chemical discoveries over the last century made

greetings and salutations well it appears the going to war with north korea is once again the most popular labor of political ice-cream this week in the halls of power

here in washington d.c. after north korea rattled it saber our own thoughtful commander in chief rattled his own spewing out the no oft quoted fire in the fury line and as i said they won't be met with a five year fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never see before. sounds like the donald's been loving this season of game of thrones just like the rest of us but tragically george r.r. martin dialogue doesn't quite translate well in the real world international politics in response to trump spire and viri north korea general can rock a genome the head of the country's strategic forces declared sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason then only absolute force can work on him. is it me or dee dee dee to feel like your country's in a little bit of trouble when kim jong people are saying your president is bereft of reason our but while the schoolyard kind of tit for tat back and forth continues

between north korea in the united states that hasn't stopped the war hawks in the military industrial complex and corporate news media from salivating over the chance for bombs to start dropping once again for example check out ali velshi is war porn on m s n b c a smith missiles which can hit combat units incoming missiles communication sites and more some of them are able to deliver a five hundred pound warhead to a target have you ever seen someone so excited to see technological marvels destroy targets him of course by targets i mean north koreans and by north koreans i mean yes people human beings so before we let these two nations talk us into war in the media cheer leading them on let us let us pull the dogs of war back and start watching the hawks. free. will.
