Headed for floridas West Coast. The lead starts right now miltons intensity has exploded. Its gone from a tropical storm to a powerful category five hurricane in less than 24 hours and right on the heels of the deadly hurricane, helene, from a new Storm Track to Evacuation Orders were covering everything you need to know a republican effort pushed by Donald Trump Junior to cut ties with one of the federal governments biggest contractors. How criticism . Of trump from Jd Vance before he became trumps running mate, led to this effort in retribution but first one year since the deadly October 7 Terrorist attacks somber ceremonies around the globe Painful Screams Interrupting A Moment Of Silence at the nova festival memorial. Were standing by to see a commemoration from Vice President Kamala Harris Tapper and were going to start in israel. Its been one year since the October 7 massacre, the single deadliest day for jews since the holocaust, 1,200 israelis were ambushed and murdered by hamas terrorists. We heard horrifying accounts of rape and torture, 250 additional individuals were taken captive, including babies, roughly 100 hamas hostages remain unaccounted for today, families of hostages held signs with the faces of their Loved Ones they stood outside the home of prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu listen to former hostage aviva siegel, speak about her husband who remains in captivity not it is going to come home like a skeleton. But im just so badly. Walking back on, finished up wearing a bathroom and knowing exactly where he is and wearing a bad all the hostages a year, its too much its just too much earlier today, sirens wailed in tel aviv. A reminder of the ongoing horror. This war that continues and is intensifying on multiple fronts as israel seeks to wipe out Terrorist Threats posed by iranian proxy groups surrounding them 12 months on more than 41,000 people have been killed in gaza according to the hamasrun health ministry, which does not distinguish between innocent civilian deaths and those of hamas terrorists. Remember, gaza officials do not distinguish between those two during his recent speech at the united Nations Netanyahu said israel has killed more or captured more than half of hamass 40,000 fighters. Now Israels Military has also started a new offensive in Northern Gaza where they think hamas is attempting to regroup to the north of israel, israel is attempting to dismantle hezbollah also considered a Terrorist Group by the u. S. Government. Hundreds in lebanon have already been killed the according to lebanese officials who also do not distinguish between the innocence civilians who have been killed and the members of hezbollah strikes taking similar Scenes Today from cnn affiliates. Lets go to Vice President Kamala Harris right now who is speaking at the memorial, studied in seattle and who was the grandson of Holocaust Survivors and a dancer from california who was killed alongside her fiance while attending the Nova Music Festival im devastated by the Pain And Loss that occurred on October 7, and doug and i pray for the family and Loved Ones of all of those who were lost reciting and reflecting on the jewish prayer for morning the kaddish, the words of the prayer are not about death it is a prayer about are enduring belief in god even in our darkest moments so as we reflect on the horrors of October 7 let us please be reminded that we cannot lose Faith Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote, and i quote religion begins with a consciousness thats something is asked of us in this moment. On the Oneyear Commemoration Patient of October 7 what it what is asked of us what is asked of us first and foremost, i believe that we must never forget i will never forget October 7 and the world must never forget what is asked of us we must work to ensure nothing like the horrors of October 7 can never happen again on this solemn day. I will restate my pledge to always ensure that israel has what it needs to defend itself and that i will always work to ensure the Safety And Security of the jewish people. Here and around the world what is asked of us we must reunite the hostages held in gaza with their families and i will never stop fighting for the release of all the hostages, including the american citizens, living and deceased omer idan soggy, keith, judy god, and 80 what is asked of us . We, must, uphold the commitment to repair the world an idea that has been passed on throughout generations of the jewish people and across many faiths and to that end, we must work to relieve the immense suffering of innocent palestinians in gaza who have experienced so much Pain And Loss over the year what is asked of us, we must continue to see light amidst The Darkness as the late Rabbi Jonathan sachs said a people that can walk through the valley of the shadow of death. And still rejoice is a people that Cannot Be defeated by any Force Or Fear that is why today, we planned a Pomegranate Tree which in judaism the symbol of hope and righteousness. For years to come. This Pomegranate Tree will stand here spreading its roots and growing stronger to remind future Vice President s of the united states their families, and all who pass through these grounds not only of the horror of October 7 but the strength The Endurance of the jewish people it will remind us all, not to abandon the goal of peace dignity, and security for all and it will remind us all to always had faith thank, you and i will now turn it over to the second gentleman, my husband, Doug Today on what was its the deadliest day for jewish people since the holocaust. I am still filled with Pain And Despair this is its an incredibly challenging day for jews around the world myself included October 7 hit as hard as a community we are still hurting and today feels just as raw as it did one year ago what happened on October 7 is seared into our souls i cant stop thinking about the hostages and their families and all of those weve lost over the past year earlier today, i attended Ajcs Commemoration at six and i and i recited a prayer for peace. That we all see the date as soon when this War And Bloodshed come to an end as the first jewish spouse of an american president or Vice President. President. Id take this role very seriously kamala is The One who encouraged me to use my platform. I have to fight against Antisemitism And Hate shes also the person who encouraged me to lean into my jewish faith when we first moved into this residence, we affixed a mezuzah on the doorpost with our family, president now, as we prepare to leave a legacy of our time here, we plant this Pomegranate Tree to honor this solemn day. And for the families who will come after us to enjoy. This is the first tree we planted since we moved in here. And itll be the first Fruit Tree ever planted by as second family at the residence common, i are proud to continue a tradition with this symbolic meaning for every family that lived here. And who will both here. It is especially meaningful to me that this property will now always commemorate the pain of the jewish people, as well as Resilience And Hope of the jewish people may the memories of those we lost be a blessing. Thank you. Thats a Vice President , Kamala Harris and second gentleman, doug emhoff, Planting A Pomegranate Tree. I believe that they are at the naval observatory where the Vice President s residence is in washington, dc. Lets bring in Cnns Erin Burnett and Nic Robertson in tel aviv. Erin, obviously a notable moment for israel as well as for the united states. What is it like on the ground there in israel . What are you hearing from israelis . Days, of course, you know, weve been up on the front lines where you have the troops, you know, raring to go and ready to fight and you dont sense fatigue, you sense that they are ready for another front. They are ready to win. But here today, joe, jake just incredibly somber and i know nic, well talk about being at the negev desert, at the Nova Music Festival site today. But, but tears and sadness. And i think also important in the context of talking about loss, obviously the profound loss for israelis, the profoundly boss over the past year, so many, Tens Of Thousands who have been killed. But right now at this moment, as we speak in The Darkness, suffering in those tunnels, their hostages alive. Theres still hostages alive, 97 when people taken one year ago today. A third to a half of them may be dead. Others are alive, their families here just miles away from them so close and yet they may never see them again. And they may, they may, they may already be dead, they may die as this conflict continues and that is the deep, profound sadness of this moment, jake, but certainly both nyc and i saw two day and nic, america as connection to this war can, Cannot Be Cannot Be ignored. I mean, a number of those slaughtered on October 7, where american and number of those taken hostage, including still todays six living sixth hostages thought to be living as well as the bodies of still others are being held in gaza. What stuck out to you from the Vice President s remarks . You know, i think there was some echoes in there of what weve heard us say before, that sort of slightly differentiates her position where President Biden and its in the past when she spoke about this, you know, that Iron Clad support for israel. But talking referencing really the other side and saying that, you know, its how you use that support and what struck me, what she said today was about this issue of what can we do what can we do for the other side was massive so it sounds like the sirens going off, sirens are going down jake. What can we do for the other side . She said, what can we do . And it was ease the Suffering And Pain of the palestinians. And she talked about seeing the light in the dark and its not just perhaps a reference to the Terror Tunnels that a light in The Darkness, which is an end to all of their. So i got that sense that she was talking about reaching out via the side. That was that message of maybe some reconciliation . Yes. And, you know, jake, you can hear obviously, sirens probably in the background where we are. This would be the third time and today weve heard them even in tel aviv, you know, you sort of, you can see just a blanketing of the area of warnings that were incoming Ballistic Missiles. I said from yemen earlier those were intercepted drones. And drones. Nick and i have seen seen those just off the coast. I when there has been interceptions, obviously, right now, this is just where we are and what well see there. There. Lets go yeah, Thats Industry interceptors are going up. I dont know if You Guys can see those those interceptors going up right now behind one to different areas, three these, little night, the high altitude for Ballistic Missiles, these these outline, theres not a Nurse David davids sling, Ballistic Missile so these could be Ballistic Missiles incoming if theyre on the north of the city. That tells us that probably coming in from lebanon from for what we can see from here right now i think i heard some intercepts there, some explore, heard some explosions, but i didnt see anything looked like it had contact. Its hard to tell right now. Jake honestly, from what we see, but at least for interceptors going up yeah, its a good reminder, maybe a sound of a Fighter Jet and ill point. I tried to make and i know that You Guys make all the time, which is oh, he would just heard a big Boom Israel remains under attack, that was from gaza from lebanon, from yemen. Its not that theyre not trying to kill as many israelis in Civilian Population centers as they can. Its just that the israeli interceptors are preventing them from doing so i mean, those interceptors and those booms, jake, that youre hearing, we presume were intercepts of what those missiles were and earlier today was another intercepts. So they arent intercepting them and they are these. Nick was saying, look like davids sling interceptors for more Ballistic Missiles, but also earlier today, a Ballistic Missile they said perhaps from yemen. Yeah. So i mean the capital here being attacked on, on two sides today, as you said, the interceptors what saves the population, doesnt say them obviously from running for shelters we heard the sirens there and you can be sure that everyone in this city in anyone who might have been out at a, at a gathering to remember October 7, that you have to understand that the reason that hamas fired five of their longer range Missiles Today out of gaza, reaching into, reaching close to tel aviv, the reason the houthis that it from yemen, the reason it appears hezbollah has done it from the north is because its October 7 and this is them signaling. Yes. And also there was a palpable feeling. Jake and there is a palpable feeling of israel needs to strike and strike hard and strike harder. Im not saying its universal, but its palpable and you hear it from individuals. You hear it from its not just a military three of it says that. There was a feeling from them that perhaps that strike from israel could happen tonight certainly a worry in iran when they had had, you know, temporary noflyzone, they reopened their airspace, but that and keeping it this high, the pressure at some point its got to break and theyre waiting for that next strike. And i think as well thats sort of to what the Vice President was saying. Kamala harris, that this idea about thinking about the other side, because i found speaking to People Today there are very much locked in their own tragedies some their own pain and the own suffering. And because theyre feeling their own so much, they can feel the other side and of course thats where a reconciliation lives, right and empathy that is, that of course theres so little of with so much pain everywhere, jake all right. Nic. Thanks so much in aaron, well see you tonight Erin Burnett outfront. Thats at 7 00 p. M. Eastern only here on cnn, erin will be live from tel aviv.

And seems to be taking aim at floridas West Coast about threeandahalf million people are under Evacuation Orders and milton is coming just ten days after deadly Hurricane Helene, the Second Deadliest Storm to hit the us mainland in 50 years. Cnn meteorologist Chad Myers is with me. Chad milton has been gaining force fast. What is the path right now . Still very close to the West Coast of florida in 48 to 60 hours. This is the really going to be the problem. This storm people is different. This is not andrew. Its stronger. This is not michael. Its stronger. This is going to have more surge than ian this is a big event for a very populated area. 175 miles per hour right now, we know that because Hurricane Hunter flew through this ai at category five strength and found 175, they also found birds inside the eye flying around because theyre trapped in there. But this thing went from a 50 mile per Hour Storm Yesterday morning to 175. And its likely still getting stronger. We dont have a plane in it right now, but the hurricane warnings go all the way, or at least very close to the East Coast of florida because the Hurricane Winds will be all the way up across the state were going to lose millions of people with power. Were going to lose a few homes for sure my goal here is to try to limit the number of deaths jake, because this is the biggest Event Florida has seen. This is an event that people have not witnessed in their lifetime the national Hurricane Center is categories categorizing milton as extreme rapid intensification. Thats a whole other category of intensity. Explain that for files so when i storm gets an eye, begins to breathe the air goes up in the eyewall, goes down in the eye itself, and thats the Breathing Process of hurricane. Many times its kind of sheared apart. We talk about the sheer all the time. Other wins gotten away. No other wind got in the way of this storm the last time a storm, a category three or higher hit this area was in 19211 so its going to rain, its going to rain hard. We are going to lose islands. Were going to have cuts across islands. There will be so significant damage that weve not seen it with this type of Population Density and i know what happened to him and i know what happened to charlie because i was there with anderson cooper. I know what happened to francis this is an entirely different set of circumstances here. When you talk about a storm that goes from 50 to 175 because of very warm water thats in the gulf. Jake, alright. Chad myers, hope lots of people just listen to you. Thanks so much.

And this is cnn and were back with our Breaking News about Hurricane Milton, the strongest storm on the planet this year it appears to be right now headed towards florida as heavily populated West Coast Milton is threatening to be the storm that meteorologists have been fearing for decades. I want to bring in dan chris while shes the administrator of fema, the federal emergency management agency, which has been working around the clock to try to help victims of the last Hurricane Helene dan, thanks for joining us administrator criswell. First Hurricane Helene. Now, milton, how is fema preparing for another potentially catastrophic storm . And do you have enough funds . Yeah. Hurricane milton is certainly going to be a historic event here in florida as we continue the initial Response And Recovery from Hurricane Helene, we do have staff on the ground that are prepared to pivot and helps support this response. But were moving more resources are moving additional Search And Rescue resources in are moving Health Assessment teams and removing the Army Corps of engineers and were also moving Management Teams and im here in tampa right now and i havent team embedded with the Mayors Team so we can have that open line of communication to quickly employees if people as soon as theyre needed, what do floridians in the Storms Path on the western coast of florida, need to know right now they need to get out they absolutely need to listen to their local officials, in evacuated i was just with the police chief, the fire chief, and the mayor. They need to be leaving now, if theyre in one of the Evacuation Zones that theyve designated people should not focus just on the column. They need to focus on the Storm Surge that it is going to cover a wider area and they need to get to safety. And this doesnt mean you have to go far. You just need to get to higher ground outside of that that Surge Threat until the storm passes. There were a lot of remote areas extremely hard to get to that were hit by helene, particularly in the mountainous one Road Areas of western North Carolina. Have you and authorities, fema North Carolina, have you reached all of the areas . Affected across western North Carolina. I have been with Governor Cooper for the last Week And Understanding and talking to the local officials about where their needs are which is why weve surged in more resources and they are going from the pods to peoples doorsteps to make sure that they have the food and supplies. We are going to continue jake, to have that level of presence and sustain that operation because we also know that theyre going to be a long time before the water and the power is restored. Were going to have to continue bringing these resources in to everybody thats been impacted, especially in these more remote areas that have limited access but have all of the remote areas been breached at this point . We have teams that are in every county that has been impacted weve been working with the state to make sure we have not missed anybody. As i was with Governor Cooper this morning, for getting positive news. Progress being named. But we dont want to stop. We do want to make sure we have reached everybody in so were tracking that and were going to make sure that we continue to support the governor as long as sees nato. I want to address the many rumors surrounding fema and the response to the storm. Former President Trump claimed fema has been running out of funds because the biden administration diverted those funds to quote illegal migrants coming into the country thats not true. Another one is at fema, is only giving out 750 to each family that thats the thats the extent of what american families are going to get even while foreign aid goes to places like lebanon and ukraine. Whats your response to these rumors . These attacks . But jake, im glad that you brought it up because one, its just categorically false. We have been there supporting Governor Cooper and everybody across western North Carolina. We had teams on the ground before the storm made landfall in western North Carolina. And we are continuing to support our funding has not been impacted by any of those other needs across the federal government. Its dedicated to us and i can assure you that no funding has been thinking from the Disaster Relief funds Fema Administrator deanne criswell. Thank you so much. And best of luck to you as Hurricane Milton gets closer, i want to talk more about the misinformation being spread, about fema and about storm recovery, misinformation amplified by forcing Donald Trump.

About eyes are Bay Laura coates live tonight at 11 eastern on cnn in our 2024 lead at two Campaign Rallies over the weekend in the battleground, states of former president Donald Trump falsely suggested that there is meager assistance for the americans who lost everything but their lives from Hurricane Helene, that they were not being offered much by the federal government they sent hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign nations. And you know what theyre giving up people 750 Bucks theyre offering them 750 to people whose homes have been washed away were true that thats all that the federal government was offering these disaster victims. But its not on a page called Hurricane Helene Rumor Response Female called the claim false, describing that is just one form of assistance to help people cover Essential Items like Food And Water and other Emergency Supplies in the short term, fema goes on to highlight how those victims of this disaster can also apply for temporary housing and personal Property And Home repair costs that is not the only false claim that Donald Trump is spreading. Take a Listen Theyve given over 1 Billion to illegal migrants had came in and now they have no money for North Carolina, for georgia, for south carolina, and alabama, tennessee, and florida North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis say Trump Backing Republican pushed back on that claim yesterday we get to have a discussion about the failure of this Administrations Border policies and the billions of dollars its causing. But right now, not yet. Is it affecting the flow of resources to western North Carolina . Quantum it is not an effector to be clear. Okay. Not at this time. Theres also this claim that trump posted on truth social saying that he doesnt quote like the reports that im getting about the federal government and the Democrat Governor of the state of North Carolina going out of the way to not help people in republican areas unquote its not exactly clear what reports mr. Trump is referring to, but you should take a listen to what a republican governor in a Neighboring State had to say about the treatment that south Carolina Ruby red state is getting but its been the ongoing kind of federal assistance for south carolina, what has just been superb. We were getting getting assistance theres also this statement from Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and other republicans thanking President Biden for his quote, support and continued coordination to provide assistance to virginians in need, unquote these statements these false statements are having an impact on the very people who have been impacted by this deadly and financially devastating storm. Just ask North Carolina State Senator Kevin corbin, who posted On Facebook last thursday, quote, will you all help stop this Conspiracy Theory Junk . That is floating all over facebook and the internet about the floods in western North Carolina. Example, fema is stealing money from donations. I just talked to one senator that has had 15 Calls Today about why we dont stop fill in the blank 1990 8 chance. Its not true. And if it is a problem, someone is aware and on it unquote. When you listen to folks on the ground in the community in North Carolina where my mom is from, it sounds a lot like like what we heard from officials in springfield, ohio after Trump And Vance falsely claimed that haitian migrants were eating their neighbors cats and dogs. Those same republican officials and ohio called those claims at distraction from the real challenge, which is an influx of legal migrants straining resources such just schools and hospitals and housing, creating a situation that needs to be addressed, needs to misinformation, these lies about fema, also a distraction, hindering recovery efforts, taking away from the real problem, hundreds dead, dozens missing communities that will need to be rebuilt from the ground up. And also legitimate questions about whether fema and the biden administration responded as quickly and as efficiently as they should have. All these lies are not helping focus on the real questions. Lets bring in our panel of political experts lets to weigh in. So today, North Carolina Senator Ted Budd was asked on fox why he thinks residents of North Carolina are frustrated with fema is response. Heres part of his answer whether theyre its money 1 Billion has been allocated for illegals. Thats not coming here to western North Carolina. So its miss allocated time misallocated dollars in a lot of bureaucratic handwringing is interesting about this, is that the person who actually diverted money from Disaster Funds was trump in 2019 in the middle of hurricane season, he told congress he was taking 271 Million from department of one is gritty programs including 155 Million from the Disaster Fund to pay for immigration Detention Space thats from the Washington Post Fact check on all this. Biden did not do this again, the Immigration Issue perfectly little debate topic. Everyone should talk about it. Its an important issue, but thats not whats going on here absolutely. Jake, this is an utter disgrace. It is one of the issues was just one of several that makes Donald Trump and jd the event as president and Vice President , united states completely disqualifying. When you have leaders who are looking for the highest office in the land, and they are purporting these lies, promulgating these lies that are actually putting peoples lives in danger. And i take this personally, im from Puerto Rico as you know, my family was there during Hurricane Maria Donald Trump went down there through Paper Towels at the residence and he was also had undermanned well, thats he wasnt trying to go with the Paper Towels. Thats right. But the political nature of this is insane because he had to be shown maps when the wildfires went to california, that there were actually republican residents in those places where he he had to give relief. Thats the only way that he got there. What do you what do you make of this .

And this is cnn Closed Captioning brought to you by mesobook. Com if you or a Loved One have mesothelial not well send you a free book to answer questions you may have called now and will come to you john, ready 8to1, 4,000 year ago today that hamas terrorists unleashed a massacre against israel, 1,200 people were slaughtered, 250 others, including babies and the elderly were kidnapped and taken into gaza as hostages. Right now. About 100 of them are still being held captive, including these two little boys youre looking at fair beebus, the youngest israeli hostage who turned one in january, and his brother arielle, who turned five and august both of them, along with their parents, yarden and shiri, were kidnapped by hamas from Kibbutz Nir Oz on october seventh shiris Parents Margaret and yosi silberman, were killed by the hamas terrorists that day. Kibbutz in your eyes is a commune of about 400 people, was among the worst impacted by hamass deadly attack with one in four residents of the kibbutz, either murdered or kidnapped. Joining us right now to talk about this incredibly difficult situation is mowry schneider. Hes the great uncle, took Fear And Reo beebus, shiri is his niece, her mother, margaret is maurices sister. Mauritius. First of all, words escape. I dont even know what to say. I am so sorry for the loss. Of your sister and your brotherinlaw. And for the pain you and your family continue to go through as you hope and wait for the day of the Bibas Family can come home. How are you doing . It is very hard to explain the feeling you just show some pictures of arirang fear the little kids and not suddenly its like getting a knife and your height and how much sadness is brings to you it does not go away. It does now go away every minute. Every second, every day. Now is a weeks, months, a whole one year. How can we imagine that . 300 over a year now, that so many hostages, ive been, ive being held, you by a Terror Organization how is that possible . How the world has allowed it to happen, especially in my case when youre talking about a fiveyearold now and a oneyearold now. And if you look at a oneyearold, he is live hes longer in captivity in a tunnel, maybe probably most likely than his live in a free world so its hard to believe that a year later, israel is not only still fighting hamas in gaza but also with other iranian backed Terrorist Groups, including hezbollah in lebanon, the houthis in yemen continue to fire upon israel are you hopeful that israel and the prime Minister Netanyahu can get the hostages back home we never lose hope of course, we go initially that protest and they want him to release on to sign a deal. Of course, we wanted to happen what is more important . I said it from the beginning when i first get an interview, some talking to people that israel is fighting three wars. It was back then at the beginning, maybe the first month to release the hostages to defeat hamas and to fight antisemitism now, instead of things getting better, theyre getting worst. 366 days fighting not only hamas, but now hezbollah the hoodies, yemen, iran to and what does he is going to end we have to realize that the purpose of hamas to invade Israel Wasnt just two get rid of they wanted to get rid of Israel Hamas invaded gaza. Hamas invaded iraq. There were no israeli October 7 in Gaza Under Sole purpose is not to defend gaza. Know to put a note to act on their names is the u. S. To give about name and to create the atmosphere that we have right now, protests against Israel Everybody wants is against this road. So many countries and so many demonstrations in the streets and show especially so much antisemitism most of the people that even protests antisemitism theyre there protesting and theyre saying that they are doing it for for gaza. They dont even know what gaza, as i say, they dont even come even pointed at him up the purpose is just to take an a free ride because the antisemites and they want to take a free ride to go to pretend that they are progozhins they care about the palestinians. Is there something that you think President Biden or any other american leaders should be doing to help bring a Ceasefire Resolution that brings the hostages home, that brings your Family Home when i get into interviews like this, i call my family were very connected to it together. We are helping each other to our opinions. We are to say to why we all feel so if im talking to you right now, have talked to people to Family Members in israel. And i want to know what if feeling also, because they may know more than i do and Vice Viceversa so what they feel, especially in israel is that and they have told me that theyre united states. And not only the united states, the government of the united states in general, and all other countries in europe should have put more pressure on qatar because they host them, they finance them something with iran too Pressure Iran in a way that they will not stop doing what theyre doing. And theyre getting away with it they are continue attacking israel from every single direction and if we can rid of hamas that would be impossible so they have to put the pressure on qatar. Qatar is not doing enough qatar, but why . Because the money comes from qatar not only to so much money goes into the u. S. From qatar. And thats why they want to be in good relations with the eu, with qatar, the u. S. Wants to so that has to be pulled to an end and think about hostages hostages, that is more important is not only my family there hundred and one Laugh Today as we know it. Who knows . There are probably more and less, i mean and more are going to be assassinated and executed if israel is going to get close to defeat Hamas Morris Snyder joining us on. I know a painful, painful day.
