donald trump has ratcheted up his rhetoric against the leader of north korea after the regime's latest threat of a missile strike near u.s. territory in the asia region the president sent the following warning to came to. the others water threat or if he does anything with respect to quang or any place else that sort of american territory or an american ally he will truly regret it and he will regret it fast from tweeted the u.s. army is locked and loaded against a secretive east asian state is the latest in a long line of rhetoric from the american leader. north korea. make it work 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 that. maybe it wasn't tough enough so that if there is a state that has nothing to do with there that's a statement while it's still a war of words for now western media report the pentagon has plans for preemptive strike on north korea's nuclear facilities but that's raising fears across the border in seoul as it expands 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 won't take revenge what are they going to aim at. the north korea shop or 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 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 tube artillery and twenty three hundred units of multiple launch rocket artillery. the direction southward is clear where precisely will kim point the cross here here are two words for you to warn counterforce and how to value targeting south korea and possibly even u.s. military facilities near the demilitarized zone vs an attack to destroy economically critical infrastructure and to cause immense civilian casualties i mean it when i see immense. look at the range of north korean artillery on 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 seoul but what kind of specific north korean threat have we been mostly hearing about from the folks on t.v. the dramatic escalation in tensions with north korea overnight the regime divide by 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. finances.

were. the. if you are u.s. citizen on the coast of 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 going underground how it's absolutely tons he discusses the u.s. north korea escalations with award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger the full interview will be aired here throughout the day but here's a short clip. trump is a bit of a wimp compared with obama a bomber ended. having put american to seven wars including the longest war in its in its history having increased the development of nuclear. warheads more than any president since the cold war obama's record was on the soup

a whole trampas has a long way to catch up with he's pretty to say that's what i really should stop simply looking at trump the man but trump as a kind of symptom and i mentioned. a character a true almost a cartoon version of a system. assist from. those produced people that have brought us to the edge of nuclear war. the escalation on the korean peninsula is sparking serious fears of conflict howie has become the first u.s. state to start preparing for a potential nuclear attack i.c.b.m. . missile launched from north korea it would take about twenty minutes to make it practical about five minutes into that time the u.s. military would be able to tell us that a missile has been launched and has the potential of

a word that gives us fifteen minutes to get the word out for them to the public for the public to take immediate action. emergency management services and the u.s. state of hawaii are now working on a cold war style attack warning system people have also been recommended to stock enough food to last two weeks and in fact all the talk of armageddon has got business brings buzzing as it seems there's clearly cash to be made from a crisis here's our taste america on. its back the prospect of nuclear armageddon and with it a media with panic about how to survive the fallout people begin weighing their disaster plans a nuclear warhead that could land in hawaii in twenty minutes additional information on radiation from a potential nuclear blast this is an exit 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 please get prepared while you still can a great storm is coming is quickly running out and. that. means your explosion. right now is the worst case thank you. george. this is even a must but if you don't have to speak their house or remain standing you could always invest in a bunker many factors say business is booming we've seen it increases self especially in the last three days. tremendous. pressure reactor. so the chances are very high. people are taking precautions they're interested. well bunkers like these may not actually save you from a nuclear holocaust but they might just protect you from all the media hype leading up to one. on our washington d.c.

. let's not discuss these fears of mushroom clouds with adam gary managing editor at the duran dot com hi there sir thank you so much for joining us here on our team international so sales of nuclear shelters are at an all time high does this represent a genuine fear among people who are savvy business people are just cashing in on the media hysteria or is buying congress a new trend anyway. well it's certain the about. latching on to a commercial trend and trying to make the best of it what better way to sell them brothers and to say constantly it's going to rain whether you have the knowledge of or not of the truth is if nuclear war was to happen most of the shelters that are being sold at the local shops and online or about as valuable to the people who are buying them as a headache is to a man at his funeral who died of a gunshot wound to the head these things are really not worth the money if people

were really concerned about nuclear fallout and the real dangers of the norm lethal but in the long term very deadly nuclear incident they ought to be focusing on ukraine a country that's already three years behind its nuclear safety checks and the stations that it claims to be upgrading very inadequately according to some safety officials won't be done to the year. twenty twenty by which time many say they will not be fit for purpose by international standards but no one's talking about that very real prospect of a chill normal two point zero in the very place which the original incident happened in the 1980's but a lot of people who know about commercial marketing and that is of course america's true astroid form is. cashing in on the north korea crisis the truth is that a responsible power russia has said that north korea's missiles cannot even reach the united states these an intermediate range missiles they are not. as both

washington and pyongyang have said washington and pyongyang both have a vested interest in saying these are i.c.b.m.'s apparently so do the people in the united states selling these bomb shelters the truth is the people in the region of north korea would suffer the most in the kit in the event of a nuclear attack the people of the united states certainly in the immediate term would be safe but the lesson here isn't to go out and invest in bomb shelters the lesson here is for the american people to tell their governments to stop threatening other countries whether it's venezuela or whether it's north korea whether it's syria whether it's anyone at all the united states should concentrate on itself as all countries are and frankly as north korea has since one thousand seven hundred ninety right here like the thing is so people are buying these new bunkers right so do you think they are genuinely believing that the world is just if you know a few tweets away from nuclear war looking at china's twitter account. well

there's always that possibility that america could launch the first strike if we're looking at the sheer numbers alone leaving all personalities on both sides to one side that america is a country that has a proven track record of being a first strike or being an aggressor look what they did to iraq in the look what they did to yugoslavia illegally look at the brutal hillary clinton engineered war on libya in two thousand and eleven look at how the united states more or less invented al qaida when they funded the mujahideen that was fighting the secular salvi it aligned government in kabul throughout the 1980's the list goes on and on we can look at cia coups against legitimate leaders from chile to iran so when it comes to the sheer statistics of america launching a war things don't look very good but luckily the since nine hundred forty five

america house and dropped more nuclear weapons and we have to remember since we're talking about the starts and the figures that america is the only nation to ever drop an atomic weapon in war time so yes things are dangerous but with any hope china and russia and other responsible parties can implement their peace plan which calls for deescalation on both sides in any case though i can't see that these contraptions that people are buying from their local hardware shops and online retailers are going to do any good should trump push the button thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us certainly interesting to see how people are reacting to this news coming out of that korean peninsula by thank you that was our gary national editor that iran dot com thank you sir. there are claims of more civilian deaths in afghanistan and the latest coalition air strike find of the details after a short break. the

feeling of. every the good experience. that you get on the old. according to just. seems wrong. well we just don't all. get to shape out just to get out to. and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground

the. welcome back at least sixteen civilians have died in a u.s. airstrike in eastern afghanistan according to local officials the u.s. military's acknowledged a bombing raid and now province about claims only militants were killed afghan officials have disputed this here we heard from an eyewitness of the strike and victims' relatives. my father and my mother were both killed. eleven people being transported in a vehicle three women five children and 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 come amid increasing talk of a change of tact by the u.s. in afghanistan here's caleb maupin. according to the afghan government these civilians were killed in eastern afghanistan and 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 it's a very big decision for the took over a mess and we're going to. make it a lot less messy but that has been a place seventeen years old there's horrors i read in one of your code and frankly . 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 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. and these two people have been killed by kenyan police after the riots broke out in the wake of presidential elections. opposition activists branded that we election of president who were raised kenyatta

insists the vote was free and fair however protesters took to the streets and angry demonstrations they lit fires and gunshots were heard business premises were also attacked there are fears of a repeat of the massive post-election violence ten years ago when more than a thousand kenyans died half a million displaced. and over in egypt health officials have raised the death toll from friday's train collision near the coastal city of alexandria to 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 one of the engine cars were was derailed along with two carriages which piled up on top of one another according to a witness the country's transport minister claimed human error was the likely cause . a german anti litter initiative designed to appeal to all in the communities facing a backlash for using turkish names that just that angle shot members of the turkish

community in the city of duesberg where the campaign is taking place complained they've been singled out. i think it's a great campaign it would be nice to find your own name and it supports people. are rich enough to leave it on the street. is going to really get this message that are best to encourage people in cleaning up after themselves and not just on the streets on the grounds.

but a local politician and member of the turkish community defended the initiative saying it's not against turks he added he also didn't believe it was an act of exclusion or discrimination 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 sidelining that you're the 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 that again if you want to be offended you will always find something to be offended thanks for to me and i'll be back with more news at the top of the hour. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question are. and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave

a funeral the same as one enters mind gets consumed with this one to. speak to you as there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make. a guy. that i have news about monsanto giant agro chemical cultural right monster monsanto i don't think that's on their side. one sanjo is the phrase is finally finally standing up for itself apparently they learn from their g.m.o. crops which can also stand up for themselves. but what if i go baby giraffe.
