>> reporter: north korea's military is upping the ante making new threats against the united states saying they hope to be able to attack this region by mid august if their military leaders accept it. this morning the small island of guam is said to be a target. this american territory facing an elevated threat as the war of words between the united states and north korea reaches a fever pitch. the north korean regime responding to president trump's chilling warning. >> they will be met with fire and fury. >> reporter: calling the presidency nile, saying he was cooped up at the golf course and was clueless about how things are developing. adding sound dialogue is not possible with someone as bee left of reason as president trump and only absolute force can work on him. north korea now warning they are seriously examining plans to attack guam where close to

american service members are stationed and home to 160,000 u.s. citizens. located just 2,200 miles away from north korea in the pacific, the threats putting some residents here on edge. >> i'm alarmed. i'm concerned, but we mustn't be intimidated. >> reporter: now two u.s. senior military officials and two senior retired officers tell nbc's cynthia mcfadden the pents gone has prepared a preemptive strike plan if the president orders one. for months u.s. forces have been training with recently updated b-1 bombers located on guam. multiple sources say the planes, which are not nuclear capable, would target two dozen of north korea's missile launch sites and support facilities. since the end of may the b-1s have conducted 11 practice runs, including one

round trips and refueling in midair, preparing for a possible operation as north korea missile tests put the u.s. on alert, but this morning military experts say an attack on guam isn't likely, with officials urging the public to remain calm. analysts believe guam could be a target because of its close proximity to north korea and because of all of the military muscle on this island, but it's that same muscle which stands to protect this region. there are b bombers in this area, a nuclear submarine and missile defense system that is poised to protect everyone who lives here. savannah and matt, back to you guys. >> thank you. so just what led to president trump's stern warning to north korea and what has the reaction been like inside the administration. andrea mitchell is nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent. andrea, good morning. >> good morning, matt. it was the threat heard around the world. a u.s. president for the first time suggesting what s

now it turns out without language carefully agreed to by his national security team. president trump aides say becoming increasingly fired up over north korea until he fired off this stark warning during a meeting on opioids. >> north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> reporter: was he reading from a script? no, say aides, that piece of paper was a fact sheet on opioids. nor did the president check with his generals before threatening kim jong-un. former general mattis at the pentagon who has said war with north korea would be catastrophic. general h.r. mcmaster expected at bedminster today. or retired general john kelly the new chief of staff, the white house stating wednesday he knew the tone and strength of what the president would say but not the words, those were the

critics called it too aggressive. >> i'm very concerned about the level of rhetoric that president trump employed concerning north korea. >> reporter: half a world away in asia the president's top diplomate was tasked with quieting the storm. >> i think americans should sleep well at night. i have no concerns about this particular rhetoric. >> reporter: but no sooner had the secretary of state calmed things down, then the defense secretary fired it back up, warning north korea to cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people, plus the president tweeting, my first order as president was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal, it is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before. in fact, mr. trump signed a memo in january to study modernizing the nuclear arsenal, but not much more. the state department still claims everyone is on the same page. >> we can speaking with one voice. >> is he exacerbating

to kim jong-un, in a language that secretary tillerson has said that kim jong-un will understand. >> reporter: former national security officials in both political parties say that presidents should not improvise about north korea, it's simply too volatile, but they have never met donald trump. >> all right. andrea mitchell, thank you very much. overnight south korea's military jumped into the escalating rhetoric as well saying it is prepared to sternal punish its neighbor to the north should the regime act on those recent threats. nbc's chief global correspondent bill neely is in seoul this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we are 35 miles from north korea here and from its missiles. it's a city that's been protected for decades by american troops and by america's nuclear umbrella, but today it's feeling suddenly vulnerable. south korea's president saying today strengthen our

now. it's called the world's most dangerous border and it's a little more dangerous today. a war of words threatening to reignite the war that never finished here. 30,000 american troops among millions in the firing line. from north korea the latest show of defiance, chanting ritual hatred of america and loyty kim jong-un and the nuclear weapons he says protects them from donald trump's fiery threat, a threat his military calls a load of nonsense, warning that only absolute force can work on him. people here in south korea are used to fiery rhetoric from north korea, but never have an american president, until now. views here divided. >> i thought it's very irresponsible and selfish. >> i was quite shocked. >> i think it's

>> reporter: u.s. troops here exercise with south korean allies regularly, there is another one planned later this month. north korea says these are provocative, south korea that they're vital. its president now calling for a complete overhaul of south korea's military. the war on words putting this city on edge, like the american troops here to protect them, they've lived for decades with threats from the north, but in any conflict they'd likely be the first casualty. the unthinkable this morning perhaps just a little closer. well, south korea's president today saying stop. stop ratcheting up the tension. it was a mention directed at the north, but it's one that many in asia are also privately directing at president trump. matt, savannah. >> bill neely, thank you. even as the north korean crisis plays out we are learning about a series of

incidents in cuba. u.s. diplomats in havana sent openly after apparently suffering hearing problems and some other symptoms and officials say this was caused by a deliberate covert attack. nbc national correspondent peter alexander has the latest on this. peter, try to explain this for us. >> reporter: this one is bizarre. it reads like a cold war spy novel, one government official says the incidents were so severe that some u.s. diplomats needed to get hearing aids. it comes as the relations between the u.s. and cuba had started to improve, but now the future of diplomacy between the two countries seems uncertain. this morning new questions about just what happened in cuba after a string of bizarre incidents that apparently left a group of american diplomats in havana with severe hearing loss attributed to a covert sonic device. >> it is a cause of great concern for us, it's caused a variety of physical symptoms in these american citizens who work for

we take those incidents very seriously and there is an investigation currently under way. >> reporter: the a.p. reporting the incidents saying that after months of investigation u.s. officials speaking on the condition of anonymity had concluded that the diplomats had been exposed to an advanced device that operated outside the range of sound and had been deployed inside or outside their residences. it was not immediately clear if the device was a weapon used in a deliberate attack or had some other purpose. the state department saying only the diplomats suffered a ma right of physical symptoms. >> one of the things we talk about here often is that the safety and security of american citizens at home and abroad is our top priority. >> reporter: cuba saying it's investigating the incidents and that, quote, cuba has never nor would it ever allow that the cuban territory be used for any action against accredited diplomatic agents or their families. the incidents took place in the fall of 2016 shortly after the u.s. embassy in havanaeo

efforts to resume diplomatic relations with cuba after decades of hostility. that relationship now in jeopardy. the state department saying two cuban diplomats were expelled from their embassy in washington back in may. >> as a result of that we've asked two cubans to leave the united states and they have. >> in other words, this is a reciprocity thing. >> i'm not going to call it as such but we asked two people to go home. >> reporter: president trump actually rolled back parts of president obama's policy toward cuba, though some elements remained in place including the reopening of the u.s. embassy in havana. the florida senator marco rubio whose parents fled cuba weighed in on this topic saying personal harm to u.s. officials shows the extent the castro regime will go and clearly violates international norms. >> peter alexander, thank you. the white house is also dealing with major new developments in the russia investigation. fbi agents recently

virginia home of paul manafort, they were searching for banking documents and tax records. the raid required a search warrant meaning robert mueller's investigators convinced a federal judge that there is committed. the past foreign political work has been swept into the investigation in the 2016 election. he has repeatedly denied wrong doing and has voluntarily given documents to . essional committees investigating the and this morning we are hearing from the now former google employee who was fired for his controversial manifesto relating to that company's diversity efforts. nbc business correspondent joe listen ke length kent has that. onal fire n page essay that many call sexist and demoralizing to women in tech. it cost him his job and now he is writing back. >> i't

taboos. >> reporter: software engineer speaking out about being fired by google for an internal memo writing that male and female tech workers differ in their abilities due to biological causes. >> the culture is very left leaning and just intolerant of anyone that holds a different opinion. >> reporter: google ceo says his manifesto violated its code of conduct and crossed the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our work place. reaction to the firing was mixed. julian assange who reportedly offered him a job tweeted women and men deserve respect including not firing them for politely expressing ideas but rather arguing back. others say they are fed up

such attitudes. she says she left because of what she felt was a misogynistic culture. >> so many of my women friends were treated [ inaudible ]. >> the labor department is suing google over pay discrimination. google denies the allegation. this new ad for a proposed class action lawsuit against google seeks victims of alleged compensation discrimination. demore says he fired a complaint saying upper management is shaming me in order to silence my complaints. he says his goal was to spark a conversation about gender in tech. >> i'm not just attacking diversity. i'm attacking the fact that we can't discuss any of these issues. that is hurting the

illegal and will be taking legal action to challenge his dismissal. now google is planning to hold an all staff town hall today to address the controversy. >> i would imagine they will hear interesting comments during that town hall. now to the that's been sweeping the country this week and with no winner in last night's powerball drawing it's only growing. kerry sanders in miami for us again. hi, kerry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the amount of money is mind-boggling if you were to win jackpot. this is the first time in the seven years of these two lotteries running at the same time that the jack pots have exceeded $300 million. so it's unusual to say the least. as you noted last night during the powerball nobody won, the odds of winning are 1 in 292 million, so really winning is going to be a rare occurrence, but if you did win last night's you would have taken initially in a lump sum $224

is before the 39.6% federal tax. so even with all of this huge jackpot there's a few things you couldn't afford. you could not afford a 747, a jumbo jet to fly around the world at your will. you could not afford the white house, assuming it was for sale. and you could not afford the hope diamond. which of course is priceless. so, guys, i think we would call this #firstworldproblems. >> i'll say. maybe the powerball jackpot will go up, we could get that 747. >> you could get a used one probably. >> i don't know if i'd want that. >> on ebay. >> kerry, thank you. >> let's get a first check of the weather. dylan is here for al today. >> things are pretty quiet across the country. we are no expecting anything too severe today. we could see some brief flash flooding down near louisiana and mississippi because of this line of heavier rain moving through,

we have this cold front and this is moving eastward, that's going to be the reason why we will see those storms fire up, especially this afternoon and evening. beside the cloud to ground lightning the biggest threat will be hail and possibly damaging winds. as we go into friday some of these storms will move into the tennessee river valley, into ohio as well and then they will start to spread eastward as we go into saturday. scattered showers and storms possible up and down the east coast so it does look a little unsettled as we start off the weekend. this is the area east of denver into most of kansas and down into oklahoma where we could see some of those isolated strong storms today. your local forecast is coming up in the next 30 seconds.

another pretty morning outside, a little bit more cloud cover today than we've soon the last few days. temperatures still in the mid 50s in the shenandoah valley, upper 60s in most of the nearby neighborhoods. it's going to be a pleasant day to be outside today, mid 60s for the next hour or so, 80 degrees at lunchtime, afternoon highs today mid 80s across the d.c. metro area, but clouds could lead to a few showers in the shenandoah valley this evening and rain chances really go up as we get into tomorrow afternoon and increasing rain chances through the weekend. dylan, thank you. coming up, what had taylor swift's mother sobbing on the stand at her daughter's groping stand. and has the lost city of jesus' disciples finally been found? we are live with the new

be on the stand as early as today. joe friar is at the courthouse in denver. >> reporter: taylor swift's mother took the stand offering emotional testimony. she did not witness the alleged groping and was not in the room at the time but said she believes her daughter. fighting tears at times she testified about what happened before her daughter's denver concert. i saw her face and i could tell there was something wrong. she said a guy just grabbed my behind. taylor swift said it happened while posing for this photo with radio dj. the picture was sealed by the court but published last year by tmz. andrea swift started to cry saying tailor couldn't believe that after the incident she thanked them for being there. no one from swift's team called police. why? i didn't
