territory in the asian region the president sent the following warning to kim jong un. he utters water threat or if he does anything with respect to qualcomm or any place else that sort of american territory or an american ally he will truly regret it and he will regret it yes donald trump tweeted the u.s. army is a locked and loaded against the secretive east asian state it's just the latest in a long line of rhetoric from the american leader north korea this not make it even worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen the people that would question that statement was it too maybe it wasn't tough enough so that if there is a state that has nothing to do with there that's a statement and while it's still

a war of words for now western media report the pentagon has plans for a preemptive strike on north korea's nuclear facilities but that's raising fears across the border in seoul as explains. so what if mr trump goes forward and all these roughly two dozen north korean missile launch sites testing grounds and other facilities go boom there is no way kim jong un take revenge what are they going to aim at. the north korea shocker to you and dignity army will launch the merciless owner of decision strikes from the ground. water so they'd better stop being reckless. and even without the stuff trump wants to wipe out they've got quite the arsenal toy unleashed hell over the thirty eighth parallel for decades north korea has been prepping artillery for that very moment and now what they've got loaded and ready to fire are twelve thousand pieces of two barks hillary and

twenty three hundred units of multiple launch rocket artillery. the direction southward is clear where precisely will kim point across here here are two words for you to learn counterforce and how to value targeting south korean and possibly even u.s. military facilities near the demilitarized zone versus an attack to destroy economically critical infrastructure and to cause immense civilian casualties i mean it when i say immense look at the range of north korean artillery beyond the border millions of people live there more than half of south korea's population so with roughly ten million residents and with almost three million and su one over one million all these cities are in that zone and some estimates say that

forty eight hours of artillery rage may kill one hundred thousand in and around so all but what kind of specific north korean threat have we been mostly hearing about from the folks on t.v. that dramatic escalation. tensions with north korea overnight the regime divides defy president trump with a new threat against the u.s. territory of guam a chilling new warning comes as the rogue nation threatens to strike guam home to thousands of u.s. service members this is a regime that's trying to not only establish its power but demonstrate its power everyone splaying the talent kim's missile range game though even if it is capable of reaching the u.s. island in the pacific how realistic is the threat of a successful launch a launch that would dogged america's a.m.d. . since the united states there is the. worst. recession the would be successful. if

you are us citizen on the coast of the no doubt you're still pretty stressed but hey say that to south koreans from somewhere near seoul they'll be the first to get zapped if mr trump pulls the trigger and going underground host the option of a chance he discusses the u.s. north korea escalations with award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger for the full interview at all day here on this channel but for now a short clip trump is a bit of a wimp compared with obama a bomber in the. having put american interests on wars including the longest war in that's in the history of having increased the development of nuclear. warheads more than any president since the cold war obama's record was also a super hawk trampas has a long way to catch up with he's pretty to such so that's why i really should stop

simply looking at trump the man and petroleum as a kind of symptom and i mentioned. a character a true almost a cartoon version of the system. a system. of those produced people that have almost brought us to the edge of nuclear war. and all this talk of armageddon certainly got business brains buzzing it seems as clearly cash to be made from a crisis is r.t. some miracle. it's back the prospect of nuclear armageddon and with it and media with panic about how to survive the fallout people begin weighing their disaster plans nuclear warhead that could land in hawaii in twenty minutes additional information on radiation from a potential nuclear blast this is an accidental tried to the united states google searches for how to survive

a nuclear attack have gone through the roof within the past few days beating old classics like how to get rich and how to be happy no surprise then that nuclear holocaust survival guides are appearing all over the place garnering tens of thousands of views nobody ever wants to experience the devastation that schools to buy nuclear weapons please get prepared while you still can a great still means coming on time is quickly running out even old guidelines are getting a new lease of life like the rather ominous affair posted in two thousand and fourteen by a local health care agency. i know you can. teach me. that. your explanation. is the worst piece of. it best to dark for you here's a cheery little ditty advising people to stay indoors and watch the news only if the cloud is in the sky. but you've got to get this out the door is going to be

too serious or even a down period is just. to stay tuned to them. but if you don't have faith their house or main standing you could always invest in a bunker many factors say business is booming we see that giant increase in sales especially in the last three days is tremendous for our very probably is century after. calling it also the business of wall so the tensions are very high. people are taking precautions they're interested in shelters well bunkers like the . not actually save you from a nuclear holocaust but they might just protect you from all the media hype leading up to one samir khan r.t. washington d.c. thanks for sharing your saturday with us here on aussie international plenty of stories still coming your way and we return in just a. it's. manufactured

we can all middle of the room. joining us here on r.t. international at least sixteen civilians have died in a u.s. air strike in eastern afghanistan now this is according to local officials the u.s. military has acknowledged other bombing raid did happen in the province but claims only extremist militants were killed afghan officials disagree we heard from an eyewitness of the strike victim's relatives. my father and my mother were both killed. eleven people were being transported in the vehicle three women fight. children two men were killed and one of the women was wounded her legs were blown

off the bombing was carried out by warplanes i saw the place where the airstrike hit. my two brothers my mother and my sister were killed. the latest claims about civilian deaths calibrating creasing talk of a change of tactic by the us forces in afghanistan here's our to music. according to the afghan government these civilians were killed in eastern afghanistan the u.s. government says that that is not accurate it says that only militants were killed we reached out specifically to the pentagon to get a clarification and for more information about the situation we did not receive an answer now this comes as donald trump is talking about reworking u.s. strategy in afghanistan we just heard him speak on it and he says his intention is to make it quote a whole lot less messy but it's a very big decision for the took over a mess. we're going to. make it a lot less messy but that has been a place seventeen years old there's four years i read in one of your code and

frankly it's. it's going to be a decision that's for the diversion of now at this point roughly eight thousand four hundred u.s. troops are in afghanistan they're joined by roughly five thousand nato forces that are there alongside them from various nato countries the united states has been in afghanistan for over sixteen years there's been a series of incidents in which civilians have been killed and increasingly in u.s. airstrikes we've also seen afghan security forces being killed much controversy surrounding u.s. activities in the country but as the u.s. intervention in the country continues there have been calls from the military for an expansion of the u.s. military presence in afghanistan now one proposal is being put forward on afghanistan and it's coming from erik prince now erik prince is the founder of a private security firm a military contractor formerly known as blackwater this quite controversial he's proposing that the usa privatized its war in afghanistan there would be contracted

people professionals former special special operations veterans that have experience in that theater to go do that work would it be profiting from the war. well we're not there no but in even the again that solves that solution that's that's capitalism that's that's what it's about now the expanded use of. terry contractors in afghanistan and other parts of the world raises questions of accountability when such forces violate international law or engage in activities that are questionable but this is just one of the many questions that are raging as the sixteen year intervention by the united states in afghanistan continues. two people have been killed by kenyan police off the riots broke out in the wake of presidential elections.

opposition activists branded the reelection of president hu kenyatta as a show rod. insists the vote was free and fair however protesters took to the streets in angry demonstrations and they lit fires and gunshots rule. business premises were also attacked there are fears of a repeat of the massive post-election violence and years ago when more than a thousand kenyans died and a half a million what is. a german initiative designed to appeal to all in the community is now facing a backlash for using some turkish names ideally gulshan members of the turkish community in the city of deuce book where the campaign is taking place complaining they're being singled out.

i think it's a great campaign it would be nice to find your own name and it supports people to garbage in garbage cans and not leave it on the street. is going to really get this message that are being said to encourage people in cleaning up after themselves and not to slowly turn on the street on the ground. but one local politician and a member of the talkers community is defending the initiative saying it's not against us he also didn't believe it was an act of exclusion or discrimination

while we also spoke to a member of the alternative for germany party who told us a lack of integration could be to blame for the backlash. this whole issue is just a symptom of failed integration if you feel that you are sidelined that you'll be racist discriminated against you easily take offense luckily the german disposal company who started this initiative brushed off all complaints and carried on with business as usual it was just a very very harmless complain i should say these are things that apply to all the people who live in that area it has nothing to do with racism as a tool then again if you want to be offended you will always find something to be offended. of egypt now where health officials have raised the death toll from friday's train collision near the coastal city of alexandria forty to one hundred

thirty three others were injured in the accident rescue teams are continuing to look for more victims the incident happened when a passenger train traveling from cairo crashed into the back of another train at a station and one of the engine cars was the rails along with two carriages which ultimately palled up on top of each other that's according to various witnesses the country's transport minister claimed a human error was likely the cause now a european council project to stop so-called russian descent from asian in the media is casting its net wider with a growing numbers of publications and other countries now in the firing line. are all of our reports the e.u. east struck home task force its brussels is a myth busters it's their job to seek out disinclination in the media and in their own words they set out on this mission with one particular targets. the

task force was set up to address russia's ongoing disinflation campaigns but now they've cast their net wider to include not only russian based news outlets say you don't like the current president of austria you can find yourself on the list of fake. say you write articles that are critical of the migrant policy you're on the list. say that you say that this whole fake news which is designed in order to allow for the censorship by governments well then you're probably former congressman ron paul and you're definitely on the list that says that you make things up. even the guardian. stuff to publishing in. the ukraine severing ties with moscow was an ideological decision that may well come as a shock to anybody appearing on the list it's no big announcement that anybody's

been put on there there's also no judicial framework in which it's judge who deserves to be on not least and who doesn't there's no appeals process if you think you've been put on there unjustly. a small disclaimer says that this is not official policy however the list that points not finger of fake news is directly funded by the european council and not has left some questioning if that's the reason that certain researches and journalists have been branded frauds all this stuff because they are also the ones that have been speaking out loudest against the current policy piece or all of a c. thanks for joining us here on r.t. international on this saturday giving out the world news headlines here my colleague emily sue will be taking over in about half an hour's time that's when your world news continues.
