of white supremacists — some giving nazi salutes — held a torch—lit rally yesterday at the university of virginia to protest against a decision to remove a statue of the confederate civil war general, robert e lee. a local state of emergency has been declared in two districts. in the past hour, president trump spoke to the media about the events in cha rlottesville. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and filers on many sides. —— and filers. it has been going on for a long time. it has no place in america. what is vital now isa place in america. what is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of lives. on the line is the bbc‘s joel gunter, who's been at that rally today. things had calmed but we have had news of that horrific car ploughing into people and we understand one person has lost their life. what else do we know? that is about all we know. i was down at the scene earlierjust we know. i was down at the scene earlier just after the incident happened with the car and it was chaos down there. right lease were slowly trying to push people away from the scene but you could see clearly where the driver had rammed into the back of two cars. the witnesses and people nearby were very badly shaken up and the wounded we re very badly shaken up and the wounded were still being treated on the ground around the area. we didn't know much at that point but we have sinned low that at least one person died. there doesn't seem to be a huge police presence or cord and, judging by the big as we are seeing now. was this in the heart of the protest? well, the protest itself began down at emancipation park and there was a low police presence there was a low police presence there to begin with as clashes started to break out. then, eventually, dryer police moved in and subsequently the national guard after a state of emergency was declared. it started to dissipate a bit afterwards and after that, we had a car crash, and obviously in the immediate aftermath of that crash, when i arrived there, there was not a big police presence but then fire truck started to roll in and then riot police. donald trump said the violence must stop right now and the mayor has called for people to go home. do you see signs that it people to go home. do you see signs thatitis people to go home. do you see signs that it is going to calm overnight? i've retreated just now to my hotel room to start doing some writing so iam no room to start doing some writing so i am no longer down at the scene but when i left, it did feel like it was starting to dissipate. emancipation park had been completely blocked off by the national guard. mcintyre park was whether or white nationalists moved to after being pushed out and they moved out. even the scene down by the sight of the car incident, people slowly started to move away from there as the riot police moved the line—out. so, it feels like it is starting to calm and after the amount of violence and chaos today, it would be surprisingly if the filers continued this evening, i would think. —— it would be surprising if the violence continued. china's president xijinping has urged donald trump and north korea to avoid "words and actions" that exacerbate the situation. chinese state media says mr xi made the plea to mr trump in a phone call. in the past week, pyongyang and washington have been exchanging increasingly angry threats. from seoul, robin brant sent this report. first, he threatened fire and fury in north korea, then last night, president trump said us forces are locked and loaded. but tonight, north korea is getting sound and music from its neighbours in the south. the message at this annual peace concert on the border a little louder after a week of increasing tension. this is south korea's capital, just a few dozen miles away, but it is hardly a city suddenly in panic. trump's policy offers me a comfortable life because he puts heavy pressure on north korea. i feel comfortable. i am worried about that because the level of tension caused by trump's government is much higher than obama's government. the people here have long lived with the growing threat from the north. but there are small signs they may be stepping up their preparedness. reports shoppers buying more ready meals and investors are buying more gold. injust over a week, they will have a civil defence drill in the city. the sirens will go off and people will be guided from above ground to metro stations or bomb shelters to take cover from possible aerial attack. it happens every year. last year, just a handful of districts in seoul took part but this year, everyone is taking part. this is part of the reason for that. if anything happens to guam, there is going to be big, big trouble in north korea. north korea has threatens to land missiles close to the us territory in the pacific, that is a threat america cannot tolerate. good morning, good morning! it is great to speak to you. mr trump called the governor of guam to say this. this is between you and i but you don't talk like they talk. you can't do that and you can't do that with people like us. guam is home to us military bases, a fleet of bombers and tens of thousands of americans who are now being given advice about what to do in the event of a nuclear explosion. meanwhile, this relationship remains key to finding a solution. china's president xijinping has a crucial role if there is to be peace. but in a phone call, he told mr trump that all relevant parties, him included, should stop exacerbating the situation. across the sea injapan, they are preparing missiles, but these are for defence. japanese military transporters have been moved to places they could intercept a north korean launch. seven members of the emergency services team — the white helmets — in syria have been buried after they were shot dead at one of their centres. the attack happened in the early hours in the town of sar—min, nine kilometres east of the city of idlib. their bodies were discovered when volunteers arrived to start a shift. sebastian usher reports. the white helmets have lost many of their rescue workers in bomb blast and gunfire but this is the first time so many have been killed in cold blood. they were shot in the head as they worked in the night shift. as the seven were buried, host of tribute were paid to them online. the head of the white helmets posted the group's symbol stained with blood. others uploaded a video of one of them rescuing a child and in tears. the white helmets have been seen as heroes by many and they have been nominated for a nobel peace rise but not eve ryo ne for a nobel peace rise but not everyone sees the group is whiter than white, they have been backed as frauds, a western pr front, and to close for comfort to western jihadist fighters. it is unclear why seven of its members were killed but that death is bring another bleak and retort twist to the syrian conflict. —— bleak and brutal twist. the kenyan human rights commission has blamed police for using excessive force on protestors after results of the presidential election were announced. they claim 2a people have died in election—related violence since tuesday. leaders of the opposition have appealed for calm, but say they still don't recognise the outcome of the election. tomi oladipo reports. after a bitterly fought election, street battles have followed. after night of violence, the ambulance brought out the thing —— the injured. some had lit wounds, others had head injuries, it is hard to know how many have been injured. the clashes continued throughout the day. rock throwing youths confronting tear gas police. they we re confronting tear gas police. they were dramatic images and they were intense but this was largely contained to small areas. there have been violent clashes and we have seen people who have been killed and injured but it is very much butjust backin injured but it is very much butjust back in force between local youths and these units. much of what was fired was tear gas but there is plenty of evidence that live bullets we re plenty of evidence that live bullets were used. monica lost her nephew thomas this morning. were used. monica lost her nephew thomas this morninglj were used. monica lost her nephew thomas this morning. i heard that he was shot dead by the police. the bullet wound in his body? yes, but it won't in the chest. kenya's human rights commission said the police we re rights commission said the police were using excessive force, despite the denial by the government. these are not peaceful protesters so you cannot say the police used live bullets on peaceful protesters, it is not true. the opposition rejected what they call this sham election but they senior leaders were absent. this is nothing like the level of anger and filers that sparked the killings ten years ago but it is a test of leadership over the angry opposition supporters and overzealous police. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. venezuelan opposition protesters are again on the streets of caracas. the government has described comments by us president donald trump that a military option against venezuela was possible, as a reckless threat, aiming
