10:03 pm
it was a three car pile up oh 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 did i saw two cars that were total. the trunk was just completely smashed 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 feet how do you 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
10:04 pm
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 the streets have been shut off on and off all day and charlottesville and later on some ambulances were able to show up after about like seven to ten minutes or so 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 quiet everyone was just trying to do the best thing that they could do at that time for the injured people it seems. the u.s. president has voiced his concern over the standoff in virginia teens natasha suite is in washington with the latest and tells the president he released a statement saying that the incident charles villa something that obviously almost everyone is following and he condemned the bigotry on both sides calling for unity
10:05 pm
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 many shots on many sides it's been going on for a long time in our country not donald trump not barack obama it's been going on for a long long time. it has 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
10:06 pm
a lot of violence targeting 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 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 car drove into the crowd of protesters there had actually already been a state of 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 protest was underpinned by the decision to basically remove the confederate statue and what some solid as
10:07 pm
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. clashes have been ongoing throughout the day in charlottesville and the state of emergency has been declared we have one of our reporters on the ground. or. jackie could you bring us up to date on what's happening things. you know so you can see it's a very quiet scene at this point there is still a per police presence at the scene i'm not sure how much you can see behind me but the two of the cars that were involved in didn't still have not been moved what i've been told by witnesses as that hundreds of counter protesters were coming down this street and they went to turn left into this side alley and that is when one
10:08 pm
car barrel down into them and then actually hit the two cars that are still here and then reversed back up hitting people once again how many people are saying people were thrown by the force of the impact obviously we do know that one woman a thirty two year old woman has died from her injuries and nineteen others were severely injured five i believe are still in critical condition while four are in serious condition so following along to see you any updates on we do know that the driver of the car was arrested and he has been identified as twenty year old james field of ohio where course not sure what will happen with him at this point but we'll be following. there's been a lot of clashes throughout the day with the protests but obviously the sympathy incident with the cars was the most serious thing that we saw today many people immediately left the city after that of course the governor did ask people to go
10:09 pm
home stay in their homes be safe be condemned the violence and the division that is being seen in this city to saying that this is not representative of the city as a whole and would like to never see anything like this again. obviously condemnation of the attack has happened throughout the nation. jacqueline there thank you for the day at the scene there in charlottesville i'm sure you'll be coming back to this. as the developments unfold thanks to. political analyst charles believes both sides may fault. if the k.k.k. our team we're going to 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 funding it through through charities which i suspect they may be in provoking violence around the country even
10:10 pm
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 baby guilty of what offenses best to get them and punish them accordingly before we leap to a conclusion as to what may have happened. we will of course keep you updated on the situation in charlotte for the live analysis and on going to vision discussions in american politics right now. spitz by. the by. i spoke to the people and i didn't think. the democrats

10:19 pm
are they going to aim at. the north korea shover to you and dignity our army will launch the merciless ultra precision strikes from the ground. under 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 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 across here here are two words for you to learn counterforce and how to value targeting south korean
10:20 pm
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 young and artillery rage may kill over 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. that dramatic escalation. tensions with north korea overnight the regime divided 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 dog america's. worst. if 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 pelletier has been discussing tension surrounding north korea with afshin rattansi and going underground much the force on alter the outcome. trump is a bit of

a wimp compared with obama a bomber in the. having put american troops 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 all the soup a whole trampas has a long way to catch up with his previous us so that's why we really should stop simply looking at trump the man to trump as a kind of symptom almost a cartoon version of a system a system. that has produced people that have almost brought us to the edge of nuclear war. families in afghanistan. province have been mourning the loss of sixteen people killed in the
10:23 pm
u.s.s. strike the u.s. military claims that all those killed in the bombing raid on thursday were enemy combatants but afghan officials dispute that saying the victims were civilians we heard from an eyewitness and people who lost relatives in the strike. my father in my mother were both killed. my two brothers my mother and my sister were killed. they don't want this war to end yesterday they dropped a bomb went in the cole and killed several civilians who can accept this cruel attacks against our people we urge the government of afghanistan to prevent such brutal acts they are killing innocent people without any consequence of. liberty one person most five children they didn't kill any tell the burn always the next day to fight us they just killed innocent women and children meanwhile the u.s. is seeking to change its strategy in afghanistan as caleb open reports. according to the afghan government these civilians were killed in eastern afghanistan.
10:24 pm
civilians who were fleeing the villages because of islamic states in and strike the us will construct a civilian vehicle. if we move would. prevent people from getting the injured to safety because of. 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 a quote a whole lot less messy 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 horrors i read in one of your code and frankly . it's going to be
10:25 pm
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 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
10:26 pm
experience in that theater to go do that work would be profiting from the war. well we're not there now but any vendor that 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 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 and afghanistan continues. the german city of to begin to is trying to keep the streets clean with our campaign the prices that recipe producing popular names telling them to use the available rubbish in. i think it's a great campaign it will be nice to find your own name and it supports people to predict garbage in garbage cans and not leave it on the street. it's going to

10:28 pm
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 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 ny 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. or all of the social media facebook website that salty don't come back at the top of the hour with more top stories.
10:29 pm
