Tragedy worsening in the United States by the hour as rescuers reach areas hard hit Fire Hurricane just to see the destruction of our town, of our community that we love so much it is, it is heartbreaking were standing by for an update from authorities in Western North Carolina, which seems to be among the areas hardest hit. Plus Donald Trumps Weekend Dystopian Vision in a speech, even when he called, quote, dark, the republican nominee takes Campaign Rhetoric to a new and horrifying place. His unprecedented comments this weekend on his democratic opponent on migrants and on what he wants to do to stop Retail Theft and one day before the Vice President ial debate, cnn is learning one of the candidates is nervous and worried about how Tomorrow Night might go down the lead. Im Jake Tapper, apocalyptic scene its in the Southern Appalachians right now americans in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee remain in desperate need of help. The remnants of Hurricane Helene unleashed unfathomable flooding and landslides, rendering the beautiful Mountain Region unrecognizable and killing at least 47 people in North Carolina alone with a total of at least 119 stormrelated deaths across the southeastern United States now that Death Toll in North Carolina is sadly expected to rise because some small towns our essentially gone these are images, for example, from the Chimney Rock, Lake Lure area. This is east of asheville. See the remnants of homes and buildings now, just lying across the lake were going to take you live to Chimney Rock in just a moment. So many people in areas surrounding asheville have been literally cut off from the rest of the world since friday. Not only physically, but including Phone Service and email, areas are inaccessible due to Hundreds Of Roads Being blocked by debris or in some cases completely washed away, including a part of i40. The major highway connecting North Carolina and tennessee all of this makes traditional rescues agonizingly complicated Air Rescues are underway today. In multiple counties. One man, Sam Perkins took matters into his own hands he hiked 11 miles over trees and landslides to check on his parents. And thankfully, sam found them safe, but they were completely isolated. And now four days after helene made landfall, the area is in dire need of critical resources, including food Drinking Water, portable toilets, baby formula, medicines. This includes residents of asheville, a Destination City that was until friday full of Art And Music and beer, and Life Fema trucks with supplies are on The Way from texas and fema is working with the pentagon to set up airbridge locations, two Air Lift supplies into parts of the area not accessible by road. The internet is full of posts from people desperate for news on their loved the ones, Loved Ones in those areas, not knowing whether the lack of contact is due to no internet or no Phone Service or sadly, the Worstcase Scenario and while the full scope of the devastation in this part of the United States is still not quite clear. Other states are grappling with dangerous helene left behind, including florida, where helene came ashore as a category four hurricane last week. More than two people, 2 Million people across the southeastern United States remain without power. The majority are in south carolina, plot in nearby augusta, georgia, where power, Water And Gas remains hard to come by and residents do not know when those circumstances are going to change. Georgia power saying that helene was the most destructive storm in its history. Back in asheville now and the decimated surrounding towns, cnns Isabel Rosales is speaking with residents who have Lost Everything Illustrating why the Word Catastrophic just doesnt even begin to cover whats unfolding there asheville, North Carolina waiting. Its just rough as hard as the in the city like this some families tell cnn, theyve run out of Drinking Water in hearted Western Area of the cia. And without electricity, their food is rotting Gary Odell is Sharing Everything hes gone his home with his daughter who lost it all to the catastrophic floods and even lifesaving Oxygen Tanks with his neighbor, my Nextdoor Neighbor ran out of oxygen. Hes worse shape than i am. Thats my problem. Ive got Lung Cancer now too. And you dont, you dont realize oxygen is is very important nonprofits teaming up to serve 2000 residents in the first four hours. How are you guys doing this is one of the first Semi Trucks full of desperately needed supplies to arrive in asheville. This is the most devastating thing ive ever seen her whole city i think that the loss of Life Fact that if you dont have cash, you cant get anything. Weve gone to stores, waters out, isis out. People slept overnight at Gas Stations like i feel like weve never seen this before on 100 was forced to walk to get help she needs Baby Diapers for her grandchild. Was those estimates us then were not doing well, settled it made me so heartbroken to see everything so destroyed outside of asheville, its even more waiting hours just for gas at the few pumps that are still running. Cnn flew by helicopter with a nonprofit surveying and accessible towns. Heavy trees, and downed Power Lines are blocking major roadways, hampering the delivery of badlyneeded supplies and overturn Semitruck Lane upside down in the river and numerous landslides all spotted from above Black Mountain city manager, Josh Herald says, it could take years to get over this devastation is catastrophic Black Mountain may never look the same again. Its just total destruction jake, earlier today i was able to actually go inside of Lake Lauro over here, a town thats just so beautiful normally would have so much to offer tourists a Gorgeous Marina over there instead the devastation was tremendous. I saw boats just piled on top of each other showing the power of the floodwaters i also got to speak to the mayor of a nearby other other town as well, who says that over 50 of the people in his very small town have lost their homes, his own business has partially collapsed. He says its going to take years to recover and jake i also was able to understand the challenges that these first responders are going through. I was in a helicopter. That helicopter you saw earlier today seeing all those roadways with down Power Lines, trees that landslides, just showing these roads washed stout, how incredibly difficult it is to get into some of these regions in the mountains. Theres a lot of work ahead for first responders and these communities to get past this moment. All right. Isabel rosales and Chimney Rock, North Carolina. Thank you so much for that report. John chase, the Vice Mayor of weaverville, North Carolina, joins us Now Weaverville is a town of about 5,000 people. Its about ten miles north of asheville, North Carolina. Vice mayor. Thank you for joining us. The storm has killed 35 people in your county alone, and the weaverville Mayor Today said that number is expected to go much hi, what are you you have a sense of how many people still may be unaccounted for, or even in need of rescue hey, i am unaware of the total unaccounted for. I think its still coming in, but that has being handled by Buncombe County through the register of deeds and so that is set up, but it is very very sad theres no power and here theres no power and weaverville, as i dont need to tell you, the Water Treatment Plant in your areas down no commercial or retail water available in weaverville . Three Tractor Trailers full of water did arrive earlier this morning, but that apparently is only enough for one Days Water Supply for each resident are you confident in whatever plan there is to get more water or should Residents Ration Todays Shipment . Weve definitely recommend conservation of any water that they have. We do have some limited or at public works the water we really have this own Water Treatment Plant that serves weaverville in a few other areas repairs are in the process we have invoked some Emergency Contingency Plan and getting some water into the lines and the coming days. We have generators been donated to us to increase capacity and get things going. And our staff and public Works Department and everybody is just working all hours to get going what else do you need . Right now, sara, what did and do you feel like the state and federal response has been adequate . I would say that the amount of destruction and the total in accessibility through the highway system, all major roads the lack of any type of, you know, no Water Power or Cell Service has been isolating but today were really starting to see just distribution happening. And thats all coordinated through Buncombe County and theres more coming. And were seeing a lot of volunteers from around the State And Country coming in and were greatly appreciative so County Officials on thursday warned everyone in affected areas to get out before the Rivers Crested Friday Night into saturday, how many people do you think a rough total heeded that warning. And do you think that that warning sufficiently relayed the imminent danger, the degree of danger . Thats really hard to say. We had an unprecedented rain on wednesday from a cold front that brought inches and inches. So rivers and bodies of water, were already very high. And we get many, many Flood Warnings here and most people that are low lying areas key, heed those warnings so when theyre hurricane came and normally we dont have a hurricane in the mountains. We have remnants of a hurricane most people were still reeling from wednesdays heavy rains and trying to address those issues. All right. Weaverville Vice Mayor john chase. Thank you so much.

Many of them are supporting North Carolina communities that remain cut off from the world in need of rescues, water, food, you name it the very first warnings that this Weather Event might be unprecedented for the Southern Appalachian Region began on wednesday evening, the Weather Service issued a dire warning at 6 00 p. M. Wednesday saying, quote, this has the potential to be an extremely rare event with catastrophic Flash Flooding that hasnt been seen in the modern era, unquote on thursday, County Officials urge people in asheville and the affected areas to evacuate like you wait, lets see if North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein signals there. There he is. Okay. Weve been having problems with signal is also the democratic candidate for governor in North Carolina. We should point out Attorney General stein, given the urgency of the language issued wednesday night. I have to ask wheres the Government Response . I mean, people in asheville and the surrounding areas are wondering we get at that. They get that the roads are Washed Out, et cetera. But there are still so many people in need of Rescue And Help and basic necessities. And were days later here desperate situation. Its the biggest, most unprecedented storm in Western North Carolina history. Its exceptionally difficult to get the materiel, the water diapers, the food that folks desperately need because the roads are many times Washed Out entirely there have been Air Lifts going on by the National Guard and the Dot Crews are working Day And Night to clear roads and get them back in service. So that folks can get the stuff that they need to survive were also still an active Rescue Rescue up in the valleys of the mountain ranges. The roads are completely gone. Or there are dozens and dozens of trees that have fallen across the road. And so they cant get get out. And those folks are having trouble with their power, the Communications Systems are down. But folks are doing everything in their power, whether its the National Guard, whether its the department of transportation, whether its the Power Line crews or the Cell Phone and cable Providers Everybody is doing everything they can move mountains to try to to help people who are suffering in the mountains. I dont doubt that the people assigned to this are doing anything they can. But asheville Resident Mark Esa yesterday told cnn that the response from local officials in North Carolina has been inadequate. He says he understands the roads are impassable, that semis are having trouble getting in. But he said, quote for gods sake, they have airplanes. This is coming up more for then two full days after the storm has passed and to not have water available to people who dont have water is astonishingly in competent in my view, unquote. Im sure youve been hearing similar concerns from the western part of your state. Do you need more from the federal government to do you need more from the pentagon. Do you need more from President Biden . Well Governor Cooper declared a State Of Emergency before the storm even hit, so that we will be ready to get a declaration issued. And i thank President Biden for issuing that Declaration Fema is already on the ground the airport, for instance, and asheville is now open but it is not open to commercial traffic. The only planes that are flying in and out are those to help people who are struggling with the consequences of this incredibly devastating storm. More than 1,000 people have taken refuge in shelters. Governor cooper said the state would be setting up Mass Feeding sites in many communities where Water Systems were shut down, residents are being urged to boil water or use bottled water if they can find it has how much longer is this going to be . The quality of life in Western North Carolina . This is going to be a devastating event thats going to take us weeks, months, and years to recover some of the Water Systems have been destroyed. You cant just create a new Water System overnight. It takes time to build that infrastructure. Some of the Water Systems need hed power in order to be an operation, you have to get the Power Lines back on it is absolutely devastating. Its without Precedent And Everyone is doing all in their power to try to bring back a quality of life that the people of Western North Carolina deserve were of course, trying to save lives like were not in the Recovery Mode, were still in Rescue Mode as we transition into Recovery Mode and this is going to be an incredibly hard job. I want to thank you for carrying this story. Part of the problem is, is Tv Hasnt been able to be on the ground to show america how devastating this is and we need every everyone in this country to come to our, our aid. We need congress to meet and pass an emergency relief bill. Its going to be billions of dollars to bring Western North Carolina back folks can give and nc. Gov slash donate folks can give blood in their home communities and that will benefit all of us we really need this entire nation to rally around the people of Western North Carolina North Carolina Attorney General, Josh Stein. Thank you so much. Please dont be afraid to give a holler if you need more from the federal government and they are not providing it appreciated and our thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out to the good citizens of the Tar Heel State coming up the unprecedented language from Donald Trump in a Weekend Speech that even he called dark plus, what Republican Lawmakers have to say about It Anything he is the smartest sunlen, is ever done this For A Living James was famous for winning races.

It wasnt fact the sensory believe it or not, when republicans said they were offended, when then Senator Barak Obama used the term putting lipstick on a pig to discuss putting a nice face on what he deemed bad policy, it was last week when republicans said they were offended because democrats are saying trump was a threat to democracy. Bots all of that notwithstanding, here is mr. Trump saturday and Wisconsin Joe Biden became mentally impaired kamala was born that way and if you think about it only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Anybody would know this trump might have actually realized during his Wisconsin Speech that he was dragging Campaign Rhetoric into a whole new place because he himself commented, quote, this is a dark speech the next day, and the great commonwealth of pennsylvania, mr. Trump dim the lights again crooked. Joe biden became mentally impaired, shed. But lying, Kamala Harris honestly, i believe she was born that way theres something wrong with kamala and i just dont know what it is, but there is definitely something missing perhaps even more alarming is the terrifying image mr. Trump is painting of migrants. He misreported a recent report from ice, which is Immigrations And Customs Enforcement claiming that bidenharris allowed 13,099 convicted murderers to walk freely in the United States. That is a lie. This list is over decades, so it includes killers that trump led in. And as point of fact many of these individuals are currently in federal, state, or local prisons where they belong and yet mr. Trump is now campaigning on this false hood fueling fear they make our criminals looked like babies. These are stone cold killers that walk into your kitchen. Theyll cut your throat walk into your kitchen and cut your throat. Again and again and beyond individual criminals walking into kitchens and cutting throats. Mr. Trump using stark and ugly language that evokes frankly, some of the worst antiimmigrant rhetoric in this Nations History. Also said this you got to get these people back where they came from rm, you have no choice. Youre going to lose your culture. You got to lose your country youre going to have crime. The likes of which nobody has ever seen before. In addition to pushing mass deportations of millions of people, including those with otherwise clean and productive records. At one point, mr. Trump even proposed something that sounded pretty dystopian in order to cut down on Shoplifting And Theft all these shows go out of business, right . They dont pay rent. The dead, the city does have a whole its a chain of events. Its so bad one rough hour. And i mean real rough the word will get out and it will end immediately and immediately i mean just trying to explain that. Is he suggesting that thered be one hour were police are allowed to use excessive force on looters and shoplifters by The Way, this footnote on that topic, new fbi statistics released today show that crime is dropping in the first six months of this year compared to the same point last year from january to june, murders dropped 23 reported rapes down 18 robbery. So 14 aggravated assaults down 8 be that as it may, mr. Trump remains fixated on crime even imaginary crimes, such as the ramp in Election Fraud that did not happen in 2020, that he says without Evidence Or Fact is happening right now. Again, and he is saying that just as he plans to free the criminals who attacked the capitol on january 6, 2021 he will prosecute the alleged defenders of these nonexisting crimes that did not happen in that election. And as far as we can tell, are not happening in this one and i told him if we win and when we win were going to prosecute people that cheated in this election well go back to the last one too. If were allowed keeps pushing new election lies. There are 12th according to cnns resident fact checker, daniel dale, and our justice reporter, marshall cohen, 12 new ones. Just some of those claims. Hes falsely saying that Kamala Harris can only wentgh cheating. Thats not true. Through its a Neck And Neck race, either one of them could win it. He has falsely saying it was unconstitutional for the democrats for replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. The constitution has nothing to do with party nominations, is falsely saying voting by noncitizens is a widespread problem in us elections. Im sure that is any, any noncitizen voting is a problem, but widespread theres no statistics indicating its a widespread problem. Hes falsely saying theres no Identity Verification for overseas and military voters. Its not true. You can readread all 12 of themr yourself at cnn. Com. I posted them on Twitter Or X at jaketapper. So make no mistake, mr. Trump says these things and he means them and he has at least a 5050 chance of being president. We should be paying attention to what he says lets jump in with our panel so these comments were so above so Beyond The Pale that republicans were asked to comment on some of them heres a little sampling of republican can responses heres what i would tell president trump. When people look at the state of play, they trust you on the economy the border, inflation and Foreign Policy by wide margins, focused on those issues. I think we should stick to the issues. The issues are Donald Trump fixed it once they broke it, hes going to fix it again. Yes. If you were in charge in an administration, you allowed that to happen. Im going to question your mental capacity. Well, i think all of that is is outrageous and unacceptable. Former. Governor Larry Hogan, the outlier there running for senate in baby blue, maryland. But it does seem as though people are afraid. What, whats your response . The only person who did that without being cowardly was as you said, Larry Hogan everyone else danced around it and they went back to the same Talking Point that republicans have when they know that Donald Trump is off the rails, which is frankly every day and every time he opens his mouth as you just showed, the only thing they can say as well when he focuses On The Issues, well, he needs to focus On The Issues the fact of the matter is that he doesnt have the ability to focus On The Issues because i think this is whats going on i think hes afraid of Vice President Kamala Harris because she represents everything that to him demonstrates a woman a woman of color, daughter of immigrants everything that he trashes is what she represents. And she eviscerated him in the debate. And she has closed the gap on crime. She is close the gap on immigration. She has closed the gap on the economy and she is it is tied, but in a lot of those, she is now pulling ahead. He is scared and this is what he does when hes scared. So what democrats need to continue to underscore is how unfit he demonstrates himself to be every time he talks about these things, mikhail, i assume you agree with Lindsey Graham . And Congressman Emmer that he should be sticking to issues. But one of the things i wonder about, its such a its such a Jump Ball election. I really like literally today if it happened, i have no idea who would win. It seems as though in the battlegrounds like pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, its its like any either one of them could win it what advice would you give him . Just stick to the issues . Well, it is a Jump Ball. I think youre seeing both Campaigns Kind of placing bets here, right so the Trump Campaign is focusing on the record that exists the last four years and that it was more a border that was more under control crime that was more under Control Inflation that was more under control. We had a better situation overseas. We had not seen the horrific and disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. So he needs to be focusing on his record, which we have 40 to compare the Harris Campaign cannot do that. In fact, they are fleeing from her record. Theyre not talking to all about her record as Vice President and theyre not talking at all about her record as a senator because she was so rattled but let me let i want you can pop it for me. I just want ask you one question that you can pop in do you think this helps him no. No, it helps to focus on what he did and thats where the focus is and should remain for the remainder 36, 37 days. So you think he should talk about the same issues, but not in this way. Like i dont understand what youre saying the issues that the american people trust republicans are the issues that are what theyre going to go to the Voting Polls . Or do you think this rhetoric has any impact on the race . I do not believe the rhetoric has done impact on the rest of Donald Trump, whether you like him or dont like him, is the only man in the history of our country to be nominated by his party three times, but for a republican will be nominated three times by the republican party the moroccan people are showing us time and time again that they care about the policies more than the personalities. And thats what theyre going to be decided on when they go into the eu, the rhetoric matters i mean, obviously you make you think it matters theoretically, but do you think it matters in terms of like will have an impact on the election absolutely. What we saw is actually that in 2016 when he used this kind of rhetoric and it really wasnt as crazy as this 2016 when he won 2016 when he won yes. It worked it worked in 2016 jake, because i think a lot of people who heard that rhetoric as crazy as it was and not as bad as it is now, didnt think that he was going to be that way. Weve heard so many republicans say, oh, it back in 20160, hes just, this is all for show. It turns out it wasnt for show. He ripped babies from the arms of their mother. He instituted Families Ration as a cadet is no, it was not. That is why republicans lost in 2018. That is why they lost in 2020. That is why they lost in 2022 when there was no red wave. He has used the antiimmigrant rhetoric and it didnt work in the years after, and its not going to work this year either. Well, i think you stick around. I want to get your thoughts on tomorrows Vice President ial debate. Cnn is reporting that minnesota governor tim walz is nervous. Hes worried how might that translate on states draw.

D. Vance throws his way. So you didnt see any reports at walz has been openly telling people hes nervous and worried about letting Kamala Harris down. Meanwhile, we should note j. D vance. He thrives on a fight. He seems to at least how do you think walz should respond to potential personal attacks . I mean, j. D. Vance, Senator Vance has been quite critical about walz not being accurate about his military record. One 100 of the time, ill put it that way so we dont end up in a fight about this and other things. Hes been very, very, very critical of Governor Walz. What would you tell walz to do . Well, i would tell him to be himself and to be direct with the american people about what he and kamala accomplished together. And i mean, this is, this is what j. D. Vance is, and this is what he does. He just throws the Negativity And Meanness and nastiness. And meanwhile, hes on a ticket where Donald Trump, i think according to the Washington Post lied or misled people 30,000 times in four years. So the contrast there is pretty clear as well. Tim shouldnt get all caught up in all of that. He needs to be just focused on what matters to americans in their lives. And i think that when people see him doing that, he doesnt need to be perfect. He needs to be real as what i think people are looking for, do you think he should address it . I mean, i find it impossible to believe that senator walzs i mean, Senator Vance is not going to say to Governor Walz, you claim that you had been in War And Youve never been in war, should he address it or explain it to the american people . Or should he just ignore it and move on . Well, look, so heres Governor Walz, who enlisted. He signed up for the National Guard when he was 17. He served for 24 years. What i would expect him to say is that hes proud of his service and he has continued to serve the country and all The Ways that he can. And i mean, meanwhile, youve got Donald Trump showing up at Arlington Cemetery and desecrating hallowed grounds. So i dont think that they have a leg to stand on when it comes to accusing accusing tim walz of anything. Lets lets listen to republican minnesota congressman, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who was On Cnn this morning talking, ill Governor Walz. Lets roll that tape its going to be much like minnesota where he hes very unpopular. He lost his former congressional district both times. He ran for governor and he lost it by almost ten points last time so i dont know if walz is unpopular in minnesota but the idea that he lost his congressional district, thats kind of like Famous Conservative District that he held for years and years of republican handed, he beat him, kept it for 12 years, i believe, and then ran for governor and its still fallen back into republican hands. So he obviously had the secret sauce for that republican district but since he ran for governor he loses that district. I mean, that is an interesting note that emmer is pointing out there. Is he, is he losing the more moderate democrats in independence that i think he was picked in part to, to speak to i really dont think so. I think when you look at the record of accomplishment of tim walz in minnesota as governor over the last six years, you can see that he did things that minnesota really wants him wanted him to do and look at the economy of minnesota here we have but i think the highest Median Family Income of any state in the country we have had had the one of the lower Inflation Rates of any state in the country. So we have a record here of being a place where republicans and democrats can get together and to solve problems together and we are also in a partisan, highly partisan, and divisive time. And Tom Emmer can say all those things, but the reality is that tim has been reelected as governor of minnesota twice and has been been really just an outstanding governor. I see that by The Way, just a Minnesota Public Radio says a recent poll in minnesota says, the Governor Walz has a 48 Approval Rating where they 47 disApproval Rating take that take those numbers as you will. Minnesota democratic senator tina smith. Thank you so much always good to have you on the show thanks, jake. Tomorrows Vice President ial debate will be another cnn special event.

Consultation. Again, thats when 871 to 3,800 hundred more liebermann at the pentagon this cnn world, lead us troops have been told to prepare to deploy to the general region of the Middle East as israel is laying the groundwork to invade lebanon, this weekend, israeli tanks lined up at israels northern border with lebanon. Today, israeli Special Forces conducted what the united States Government characterizes as targeted range as israel, which is still at war with hamas to the southwest tries to dismantled a severely weakened hezbollah to the north. As bola, the iranbacked Militant Group that the u. S. Considers to be terrorist clearly has been rattled after israel assassinated many of its leaders, including the ultimate leader Hassan Nasrallah on friday cnns Jeremy Diamond is in northern israel, right next to the lebanon border. And jeremy, what is this next stage of the war look like . Do you think already hearing the sounds of that next phase of the war. We have been hearing the percussive boom of Artillery Units firing into Southern Lebanon every few minutes the most intense Artillery Activity in this area you just heard one go off as i was speaking, and we are hearing that quite consistently. And these are of what you would anticipate to be the kinds of preparations a modern military would make before sending in a Ground Force of Infantry Units into enemy territory. And that does appear to be what the israeli military is indeed preparing for at this moment. In addition to those artillery booms, we also saw on the highway leading up to northern israel, a field with about 100 tanks and other armored vehicles. Another Artillery Pieces firing off very, very close to our position, j and so clearly they are making all of these preparations in addition to that ive been told by two sources familiar with the matter that Special Forces, israeli Special Forces have already been going into Southern Lebanon to go after hezbollah positions. Very close to the border. They are gathering intelligence, they are destroying hezbollah posts. All of this in anticipation of what is expected to be a larger scale ground operation. And us officials are characterizing what they expect to happen, perhaps imminently as a limited ground offensive. The question is, of course, how far will they actually go . One of the main objectives here as we understand it, will ultimately be to remove the threat of antitank guided missiles that hezbollah has been firing. Keep in mind those can have a range of about three to six miles away. So how deep israeli troops actually go into lebanon is one of the major questions were asking now, jake jeremy, lebanons prime minister says that about 1 Million people in lebanon have been displaced in the last few days because of these israeli attacks. Where are they going . Where to 1 Million people go those 1 Million people are moving internally lebanon. We have seen, of course, masses of people fleeing from Southern Lebanon as well as from the Bekaa Valley in eastern lebanon. Others of course, are fleeing within the capital well of beirut itself. Those who are living in the Southern Suburbs of dahiyeh in Beirut Fleeing to other parts of that city. But interestingly, jake, one other thing that we have seen is about 100,000 people have crossed its from lebanon into syria, about 80 of those according to the united nations, are syrians themselves who had previously fled from syria into lebanon and are now being forced to flee again. And so as we hear these sounds of artillery behind us, jake, it is just a reminder of the impacts that all of this is having on the civilian population inside of lebanon. And of course, if there is a ground offensive, how much worse things could get. Alright, Jeremy Diamond in northern israel, stay safe. Thank you.
