Tonight 307 million is up for grabs. All right. Powerball. Those are some of our top stories on this moneymaking wednesday, august 8th. From abc news, this is world news now. And we do say good morning on this hump day, but were going to begin this half hour with the breaking news from north korea, wasting no time defying President Trumps warning of fire and fury. Hours after the president demanded that north korea stop its threats, the country delivered another one, this time vowing to take aim at the u. S. Territory of guam. Those tensions escalated following intelligence reports that found kim jong un is now capable of placing a Nuclear Warhead on missiles that could thh acitune north korea best not make anymore threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening, beyond a normal statement. And, as i said, they will be met with fire, fury and frankly, power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. And crippling new u. N. Sanctions outraged north korea question responded by vowing a thousandfold revenge on the United States. Those sanction followed two groundbreaking longrange missile tests, including one on the fourth of july. But apparently north korea is advancing faster than first thought. Kim jong un was faced with skepticism when he claimed he was standing right next to a miniaturized Nuclear Warhead that can fit inside a missile. But intelligence analysts now say he was likely telling the truth. For more insight on that and the president s threat, we turn to retired marine colonel, stephen ganyard. This has been the de facto policy. Since president eisenhower. But to hear Something Like this out of a president is something we havent heard before. Ite world on notice. Miniaturizing a Nuclear Weapontt was the hardest part. This is whats called a groundbased interceptor. If u. S. Radars were leo t missiles would be launched from alaska or california and be able to tell the difference between a decoy warhead and the warhead itself. They would intercept it like a bullet on bullet and prevent that Nuclear Warhead from hitting the United States. There is a lot of criticism for the president s words, including from john mccain. Lets bring in Arlette Saenz for the latest on that. Theres certainly a lot of reaction pouring in from lawmakers about President Trumps blunt comments. Democrat senators like Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein are using words like reckless and bombastic to criticize his statement. Even john mccain says his comments will only turn up the heat in a conflict with north korea. In an arizona radio interview, mccain warns that great leaders dont make threats unless theyre ready to act. I take exception to the president s comments, because you got to be sure that you can do what you say youre going to do. And north koreas neighbors in the Asia Pacific Region are also reacting to kim jong uns threats. South koreas president moon says the country may need a complete overhaul of its Defense System to deal with the threat posed by pyongyang. And australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is calling north korea reckless, provocative and dangerous. He warns a conflict with north korea would have catastrophic consequences. Everyone around the world including back here at home listening to north korea and the president s words very closely. A lot of people paying attention to those words and trying to determine if weve already crossed a red line if there is such a thing. Arlette, thank you.
