state territory by their parents all recognized by their grandparents back in russia. there's a to the fact that all. and donald trump warns the north korean leader kim jong un he will regret it false if he continues to make threats against the u.s. . you're watching l.t. international line from almost a studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program we start with the u.s. state of virginia where one person has been killed and more than a dozen injured at a unite the right rally after a car plowed into a crowd of counter-demonstrators the driver has been arrested.
9:02 pm
i. think the. world there is a wrong thing at the right here with the huge uncomfortable because often they should seek international terror. brutal clashes have been ongoing throughout the day in charlottesville and a state of emergency has been declared charlottesville has become a ground zero for white nationalist neo confederate an old right activists in the us including the k.k.k. in their fight to keep traces of the confederate legacy that intact saturday's unrest began as a protest against the removal of the statue of a confederate general meanwhile the governor of the state of virginia has called for calm the hatred in the rhetoric that has gone on. in
9:03 pm
this intensified over the last couple months is dividing this great nation alex rubenstein has been following the developments for r.t. . thank. you carol. ok ok ok. it was a three car pile up i'm not sure how it how it works physically but the person in front from what i hear was able to drive away and was followed by a state trooper that was told to me by an n.b.c. reporter i didn't see that personally i saw it i saw i didn't i saw two cars that were totaled the trunk was just completely smashed
9:04 pm
a woman was inside crying there was there was blood on the hood of her vehicle there was blood all over the place of people about sixteen people injured i saw i saw some of them flying through the air over the hood of the car. and i'm hearing actually one one possible fatality i can't confirm that but that's that's what i've been hearing on the ground and i also hear about sixteen people injured total but they were contra protesters say they were more of the variety they weren't breaking things or anything like that they were marching through a very very small road it was it's a one way and they had just a big number of people in that stretch and the car just plowed through three cars actually plowed through two of them and it appears to be unintentionally one of them and it appears to be very intentional so it's not completely locked down i mean streets have been shut off on and off all day in charlottesville and later on some ambulances were able to show up after about like seven to ten minutes or so
9:05 pm
a lot of people crying a lot of people have friends that were that were hit by that car and just just all around sadness you know you know typically at a protest if if the police will ask you to get on the sidewalk protesters will say no i mean everyone was compliant everyone was just trying to do the best thing that they could do at that time for that for the injured people it seems. the u.s. president has voiced his concern of the standoff in virginia all t's natasha three today in washington with the latest details the president he released a statement saying that the incident charlottesville is something that obviously almost everyone is following and he condemned the bigotry on both sides calling for unity in the u.s. and he says the hate and division must stop but we're closely following the terrible events unfolding in charlottesville virginia we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on
9:06 pm
many sides on many sets it's been going on for a long time in our country not donald trump not barack obama has been going on for a long long time. it is no place in america what is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives the president is calling for the u.s. tonight but the country is anything but united at this point i mean we've seen violent protests ever since trump was inaugurated back in january both for and against him and you know while this particular incident seems to be targeted from the left wing protesters we've actually seen a lot of violence target in the right this past year and one of the most prominent cases was back in june when the republican congressman was shot during a baseball practice before a game and there has also been theater performances where the president was killed at the very end of it and you also may recall the video done by comedian kathy
9:07 pm
griffin where she held up the president's head similar to what you've seen in isis videos and what's interesting about today's incident is that even before the courage of into the crowd of protesters there had actually already been a student emergency declared and there was a very heavy police presence there as you know you know about a thousand officers were there and the virginia national guard was also present and it's still not exactly clear how it all unfolded as you can imagine there sell a lot of details coming in but this original per test was underpinned by b. decision to basically remove the confederate statue and what some solid as a racist symbol it's actually not the first incident though you may recall back in may another confederate statue was removed and that was actually done at night to avoid these type of protest political analyst charles will tell but he's both sides
9:08 pm
maybe a fault in the shots and rest. if the k.k.k. our team were going down there to start a fight shame on them if they were if that was done in the guise of a charity that charity should be revoked and severely disciplined same for the anti for if there are people behind anti for who are are funding it through through charities which i suspect they may be and in provoking violence around the country even in this in a minute sort of passed between the time i was asked to come on the show i walked about a mile through places in new york where there are already protests they do not look very spontaneous to me they have printed flags printed placards you know i think people on both sides are spoiling for a fight here and we ought to think very carefully about what actually happened find out who may be guilty of what offenses investigate them and punish them accordingly before we leap to a conclusion as to what may have happened and we will of course keep you updated on
9:09 pm

9:16 pm
quam has not posted emergency guidelines on how to act in the event of a nuclear strike locals are advised to avoid looking at the flash or fireball and waste no time running for cover those guidelines were released shortly after trump up tensions yet again in a tweet the president informed the public that the us army is locked and loaded against pyongyang it was the latest in a series of l. tonight l. to mate him against came. north korea. make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world never see the people that would question that statement was that. maybe it wasn't just enough so that if there is a state that has nothing to do with there that's
9:17 pm
a statement meanwhile several major claiming the pentagon has plans for a preemptive strike on north korea's nuclear facilities and not raising fares across the border in seoul as any of the trying to explain. 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 il won't take revenge what are they going to aim at. the north korea's sovereignty and dignity our army will launch the merciless own trip rescission strikes from the ground sea and underwater 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
9:18 pm
rocket artillery. the direction southward is clear where precisely will kim point across here here are two words for you to warn 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 see immense look at the range. 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
9:19 pm
eight hours of artillery rage may kill one hundred thousand in and around seoul alone 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 count 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 dog america's. worst. if
9:20 pm
you are us 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 jenison filmmaker john pelan has been discussing tension surrounding north korea and with our. going underground and you can watch the full show on dot com. 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
9:21 pm
simply looking at trump the man but trump as a kind of symptom almost a cartoon version of a system. a system. that was produced people almost brought us to the edge of nuclear war. families in afghanistan's whole province have been the deaths of sixteen people in the strike the us military has confirmed it was behind the bombing raid on thursday but it claims that all of those killed were enemy combatants afghan officials to speak saying the victims were civilians we heard from an eyewitness and people who lost relatives in the strike. there in my mother killed. my two brothers my mother and my sister were killed. but you don't want this war to end yesterday they dropped a bomb one of the cole and killed several civilians who can accept this cruel
9:22 pm
attacks against our people we urge the government of afghanistan to prevent such brutal acts there killing innocent people without any consequence. one person lost five children they didn't kill any to the bone always learned states fight us they just killed innocent women and children meanwhile the u.s. is seeking to change its strategy in afghanistan caleb moore reports according to the afghan government these civilians were killed in eastern afghanistan. civilians who were fleeing their villages because of islamic states in an airstrike a u.s. warplanes struck a civilian vehicle along with those killed several more wounded foreign troops prevented people from getting the injured to safety because of that some of them died. 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.
9:23 pm
strategy in afghanistan we just heard him speak on it and he says his intention is to make a quote a whole lot. less messy but it's a very big decision for me 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 there 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
9:24 pm
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 military contractors in afghanistan in 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 and afghanistan continues. a german initiative
9:25 pm
designed to appeal to all in the community is facing a backlash for using turkish names such as mehmet and gold chan members of the turkish community in the city of duesberg where the campaign is taking place complained that being singled out. i think it's a great campaign it will be nice to find your own name and it supports people to the garbage cans and not leave it on the street. it's good to really do it this way especially to be starting to encourage people and clean up after themselves and not to stroll on the street on the grounds.
9:26 pm
but a local politician and member of the turkish community defended the initiative saying it's not against tugs he added he also didn't believe it was an act all of exclusion all of 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 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 compay night should say these are things that apply to all the
9:27 pm
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. with all of the social media facebook on our website. at the. top stories. this transition to batteries and this new energy paradigm is really remarkable is happening quite rapidly and it's totally facilitated by this network economics that's transforming the global economy and central banks are fading and currency is
