Children and more than 1,000 were injured. Over the Weekend Hezbollah launched more than 100 rocket, drones and missiles into northern israel. Chie angioankle got an inside look. Reporter im now in an underground bunker, a hospital that has been set up three levels below the main hospital in the northern city. This was a parking lot. You can tell it looks like a parking lot. But it was built nearly 20 years ago, also to serve as a hospital in reserve, a Hospital Underground just for scenarios like this one so that patients could be treated, care can be given during a War Situation when parts of israel come under attack. And for the first time since this facility was built, it is actually being used. Yesterday israel started move ing all of the patients of the hospital down into these wards here. Our thanks to Richard Ankle for that report. Reporter you and i have talked about the possibility of allout war between Israel And Hezbollah. Frankly, its fair to ask at this point whether that war has already begun. This is, by far, the deadliest set of ids really strikes in lebanon since The End of the last war back in 2006. In just the last few minutes, the leb needs health the ministry updated the death toll. They are saying 274 people have now been killed in israeli strikes across lebanon. We dont know at this point how many of those are hezbollah fighters. Sraels strikes are aimed at the militant group, but we do know, according to the health the ministry, that 21 of those killed are children. 39 of them are women. The Israeli Military says it conducted so far today more than 800 strikes. These are not just limited to the south near the israeli border. They are also in the valley in the east. So far israel refrained from striking the capital, but we are seeing very widespread israeli Military Activity. At this point, it is all airstrikes and art till the ri. We have not seen israeli Ground Forces crossing the border into southern lebanon. But the question is, is that something that we are heading for given the intensity of this Military Activity right now. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier today saying israel is absolutely determined to change the Security Dynamic where you have had Tens Of Thousands of israeli civilians displaced from their homes by 11 months of hezbollah fire. He says hes determined to create the conditions for those families, to go back to their houses. We should say there are also Tens Of Thousands of lebanese displaced from their homes on the other side of the border. Today many, many thousands more are clogging the highways of of lebanon trying to flee north, getting away from the fighting. Israels military Issuing Largescale warnings to civilians telling them to get out of villages where hezbollah converted homes into missile sites. It is warning people to save their own lives, to get out of harms way, but its clear that some civilians have already been killed in todays attacks. An Israeli Military official told mar when i asked what would it take to the call off theeds attacks, he says there are three main goals. One to create the conditions for those civilians to safely return to their homes. Two, to push hezbollah fighters away from the israeli border, and three, to degrade what is now decades worth of hezbollah military buildup in southern lebanon. We should say hezbollah is Firing Bakt back with rockets and drones into northern israel, parts of the Air Space above northern israel are closed at this it point. Hezbollah is not retaliating at the scale that you might expect. And one possibility here is that israel has succeeded in destroying enough of these Hezbollah Rocket sites to say enough killing. The iranianbacked Military Group is not able to respond at full force at this time. R farks sanchez, thank you. Now to the state of the president ial race with just over six weeks until election day. A new Nbc News national poll finds Vice President harris leading former President Trump by 5 points. Its within the margin of error, but its 5 points. A Clij Poll shows trump with a lead in arizona, georgia and North Carolina, all also within the margin of error. Mark Robert Son featured and returned to the Campaign Trail Today days after allegations he made racist posts on a Porn Website before his political career began. And after several Campaign Staff members quit. Robinson deied the allegations and was defiant during an appearance earlier today. Were here for the parents that are loing the children to fentanyl, those struggling to keep their small businesses open. Were here for the people who are struggling to get their children a decent education. We are not here to talk about 15 or 20yearold salacious false lies. With us now is Vaughn Hillyard and white House Correspondent Kayla gardener. Robinson did not attend the rally over the weekend. Whats the Trump Campaign saying about all this . We should note theres not been an unendorsement from Donald Trump at this point. Donald trump historically does not distance himself from the likes of Roy Moore or walker, but thats why the Saturday Rally and the fact that Mark Robinson was not in attendance is so notable. You can make the case that this is due to the fact that Donald Trump himself needs to win the state of North Carolina just six weeks from now. The campaign continues to point us back to Donald Trumps social Media Post about Mark Robinson. And this is a reckoning that the candidate is losing his campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, senior adviser, and his finance director. This is not a good moment for the Campaign And Understanding that the president Ial Republican Campaign still needs to come out on top in order to pull off a victory here in november. The new polling shows a tight race in North Carolina. Its something that would be extraordinarily important for the Harris Campaign to get. What is Thatment Campaign doing to get every advantage it can in that state . Something that Governor Cooper said about this Mark Robinson report and allegations is they were shocking but not necessarily surprising. Theres a sense of some of this may have already been baked into the race. Hes had a history of making really inflammatory comments and a history of splitting tickets. We have seen democratic governors be elected there while Donald Trump has already been elected. So these allegations could shift the race and the campaign believe it is can. They put out a memo saying they believe this could help them with suburban voters, black voters and the state has a large population of students. This is something that could help them turn out, especially this close to election day. So they are certainly hoping to capitalize it. They also had an ad out this weekend tying Donald Trump to Mark Robinson. Thats not really something we have seen tying the former president to a Down Ball the lot race. Heres what they said about the possibility of another debate. Join me on the debate stage. Lets have another debate. Theres more to talk. The voters deserve to hear the conversations that i think we should be having on substance, on issues, on policies. The problem with another debate is its too late. Voting has already started. But now she wants to do a debate right before the election with cnn because shes losing badly. Has trump closed the door on another debate . He has said depending on how his mood could potentially change at some point he maybe open to it, but you heard him there in North Carolina. He would be open to doing a fox debate. Historically, the first comes about this week. And thats what made the June Debate between him and Joe Biden so unique. But also on the earlier end, while hes telling crowds of mahmoud faithful that its too late in the process, this is historically when the first president ial debate is taking place. Of course, the kamala Harris Campaign said they would take part in another cnn debate, one that would exist with the same rules and the same type of format as the one back in june, which Donald Trump claimed he won and praised the way that it was moderated. So at this point in time t appears its going to be a standstill. At that point in time, we should note that Mail Ballot gos out to more voters in realtime. Nbc news learned that democrats are planning to attack trump as being chick for refusing to debate the Vice President again. How are they going to make that happen . For one, i think the campaign acknowledges that the first debate was strong for harris. She has seen her favorability numbers rise, but not a shakeup in the rise. I understand why they are pushing this debate because voters need to know more about her character, about her policies and this would give her that kind of audience of millions of voters to get to know her. Shes continuing to come pain, but those are not the voters she needs to win over. She needs to win over independents. People who would tune into an event like, that but arent going to take the time to see her in person. Thank you both so much. Up next, we have Breaking News.

Just moments ago, the national Hurricane Center saying the potential tropical cyclone is triggering warnings and hurricane watches for parts of mexico and cuba. Meteorologist Bill Karins is with us. What did this Last Nfls show us . It confirmed what we have been watching all weekend. This has had a lot of potential. It was a matter of would it get organized. If it does, the Water Temperatures are record warm. The upper Level Wind Sheer is favorable for rapid development and this is heading to florida in about three to four days from now. We have had other hurricane this is season, but this has the potential to be the first one that could be very strong or even potentially catastrophic. So that gets a the lot of peoples attention. Talking about florida, a lot of millions of people in harms way. This is the latest from the Hurricane Center. It doesnt have a lowlevel center. They are going to fly an aircraft into it, but this is going to slowly organize and rapidly intensify. Were only 72 hours away from when this would be coming close to florida landfall. Thats not a lot hof time for preparations. The cone of uncertainty, what were going to focus on, we dont even have the center yet to know where this is going to form. They are giving the heads up from anyone from Panama City to the tampa area, this is the area of greatest concern. This is a big storm. This is not a small beast. This is a huge storm. Even far from the center, the entire West Coast of florida could be dealing Thursday Morning at High Tide with Storm Surge issues, tornadoes, heavy rain, and then the Storm Landfall would be thursday afternoon. So 72 hours for preparations. If the Hurricane Center right now they are saying a strong category 2 or 3. This is very early in the game. Some of our Hurricane Models are stronger than this. We dont need to scare anyone, but it has that potential. It would be then going up into georgia as a big storm. Even in areas of georgia, a lot of downed trees and then a Rainfall Problem in areas of florida. The timing would go like this. Later Tonight Or Tomorrow becoming a tropical storm. It look like by the time we get towards wednesday morning, becoming a hurricane. Then it would still be strengthening as it approaches florida during the day. So it was two years ago that ian hit. S. So youre saying thursday is the possibility to be seeing some landfall maybe in florida. Im looking there because its such an early period. But if it moves a little east, were talking about parts of cuba and it could end up tampa, sarasota, that whole area. Yeah, this is so critical the where this center forms. All the Computer Models are guessing where the center is going to form. They show us a track and thats what the Hurricane Center is looking at. Where it forms down here in the next 6 shift this entire thing over to the West Coast of florida. And then were bringing in millions of people and the potential for economic catastrophe. Thats what were hoping to avoid. In these situations, we know were going to get a strong storm and ruin a certain number of peoples lives. We just dont know how many at this point. Well break that down. Thank you so much. Well keep monitoring this. Were also following Breaking News. Just moments ago the fbi released a new report showing the national Crime Rate decreased in 2023. Ken dilanian is with us this morning. Good morning. Break down what this report says. Good morning, jose. This report is entitled crime in the nation. It decreased 3 last year, korgs the fbi. Murder and manslaughter came down an estimated 11. 6 . Thats the biggest drop in the last 20 years. Aggravated assault down 2. 8 . Heres whats also important to know about this. Theres been a lot of criticism of fbi crime data. This covered 94 of the population. While its true not all crimes are reported, all murders are counted. This is the second year in a row the fbi has documented a decline in violent crime. It shows after a Big Spike during the pandemic, violent crime is back down to around 2019 levels. Which was historic lows when you compare to the 1990s. And this contradicts what Donald Trump have been saying. They have been saying that violent crime is increasing dramatically. Its not what the numbers show. I was in detroit recently and spent time with the detroit police. That is historically a dangerous city. They have made incredible progress there. Murder is at levels they havent seen since 1966. The reason this is happening is many fold. Police departments are doing innovative things. They are putting cameras at gas stations. But its also systemic. There was a huge increase during the pandemic when society informs a state of disorder. Now were settling back down to prepandemic levels. Ken dilanian, thank you so much. Turning to our Breaking News out of the middle east. Israel and hezbollah continue to be Trading Attacks across the border with lebanon. President biden was asked yesterday whether he was concerned about the rising tensions in the middle east. Yes, i am. But were going to do everything we can to keep a wider war from breaking out. Were still pushing hard. Joining us now is Senator Cardin of maryland, chairman of the foreign relations committee. I thank you for your time. How close are we to a fullout open war between Israel And Hezbollah . Jose, its good to be with you. Im up in New York the a the United Nations meetings. Were going to try to get the u. N. To concentrate on the real cause for violence. Thats iran enables hezbollah. Its a terrorist organization that has been shooting missiles into israel, targeting civilian populations. They also enable hamas attack. We have to get the United Nations to concentrate on the real threat in the region. We have to find a way to move forward with the ceasefire and the hostage we lease to get to regional security for both the palestinians and the israelis so they can live together in peace. Do you think thats in any way a possibility . It just seems like, if anything, the sides are further apart. And srael has been very clear on its need to destroy the infrastructure. Hezbollah has been doing that effectively. Just in the last five days, but also with hamas. Do you see any possibilities of there being anything remotely peaceful . I think if we put the Focus On Hamas and on iran to recognize that the united states has put forward offers for the Hostage Release and a ceasefire, humanitarian assistance, international community is supporting that, the real obstacle has been hamas and iran. We put the focus on that, it gives us hope that we can find a way to reduce the violence. The conflict is not in Israels Interest or the united states interest. We need to find a way to bring peace to the region. That means isolating iran, entering into regional understandings with the arab states against iran, and israel, so we can have a future of peace for both the palestinians and the israelis. I know President Biden is going to be delivering one of the final addresses on his presidency at the u. N. General assembly. What are you looking to hear in his speech . I think the president is going to say when the United Nations and nations come together, we can solve any problems. He will point to the Covid Pan demic and how the global community tackled that problem. Hes going to encourage the United Nations and its member states to tackle the problems of ukraine, the maerks the issues of sudan, which is a major humanitarian crisis. We have to put a focus on that. If we work together, we can give hope to people. I know youre set to meet with President Zelenskyy later today. Whats your message to him . I will tell him he has bipartisan support in congress. Were going to continue to provide what he needs to defend ukraine. We admire his courage and want to make sure he has what he needs to defend this country so hes in a position to negotiate The End of the war. And turning to venezuela, you are working on a bill to hold them accountable for the crackdown of Human Rights Violations at the people have been subjected to, efforts to steal the president ial elections. What would your bill do and what do you think needs to happen from the united States Perspective going forward . It would recognize the real winner of the election, who won the election. It would enable those at risk to be able to get a visa to come to america. It would provide sanctions against those that are preventing the peaceful transfer of power to the real winner in that election. And it provides the type of Recognition And Support that the united states will maintain for the will of the venezuelan people. What kind of sanctions do you think need to be instituted that were maybe taken out. What is it that the united states should be doing going forward on sanctions issues . Theres one thing about sanctions that affect the regime. Theres also sanctions that affect people individually that prevent their travel to the united states and prevent them from using our banking system. I was responsible for the enact the of sanctions that provide that type of identification of those people who violated human rights. Its those types of sanctions we think can have a real impact on Decision Makers that are involved in the prevention of the peaceful transfer of power. Senator, turning to domestic politics, youre set to retire at The End of your term. A new report the democratic nominee for your seat improperly took advantage of Tax Breaks she did not qualify for. Her campaign said she was unaware of her errors, but her lawyers intends to pay back any taxes. What do you think of this . First of all, i think they have acknowledged that a mistake was made. It was unintended. Shes going to assume responsibility and make the payments that are necessary. The important thing is we need to move forward. This is a clear choice in the maryland senate race. Marylanders support values. It will align with the democrats. Theres a lot at stake, not very confident that shes going to win that election. Always a pleasure. I thank you for your time. Thank you.

Were following Breaking News. A Bond Hearing is set for the suspect in the second Assassination Attempt of former President Trump. We have new revelations about the suspect, including what officials found in his car and a letter officials believe he wrote. Joining us now is Law Enforcement and Intelligence Correspondent Tom winter. And msnbc legal analyst chuck rosenberg. What are we hearing this morning . Several things. Basically, federal prosecutors are petitioning the court to keep Ryan Ruth behind bars. One of the things they are trying to show is how much of a potential danger he might be to the community and what their investigation has uncovered so far. So thats why were getting these revelations. Youre seeing the photo of the Serial Number on the rifle. Heres a bigger picture. They were able the to get a fingerprint off that and thats contained within that photo is where they were able to get that fingerprint from and match it to ruth. It pertains to possible motive. A month ago, ruth dropped off a box of documents, which also contained ammunition, building materials, and within that is a letter where we talks about a failed Assassination Attempt among other things involving Donald Trump. So he specifically referencing a failed plot. So i think Thats Something that, obviously, speaks more to motive, not that anybody thought walking around the Trump Golf Course while Donald Trump is golfing is for any other reason than involving Donald Trump. So thats a bit of a new revelation and new information this morning. We also have video that we shot late last week from our colleague detailing where this was and just how close he was ability to get to the golf course. The other side of these trees that youre looking at there, you go through Thoeds Bushes and, boom, youre there at the golf course. So obviously, some questions going forward if Donald Trump goads golfing there near his residence of what type of Security Cautions go into play now this was well documented by federal authorities, this potential issue from a security standpoint. Chuck, what do these revelations tell you . All of this goes to motive. Thats the kind of evidence i love to have in a courtroom. This wasnt a mistake, it wasnt an accident. He wasnt bird hunting. He was trying to kill a former president of the united states. So theres lots of ways to charge this guy. Right now, the government has charged him with essentially two less serious offenses being a felon in possession of a firearm and obliterating a Serial Number. I dont mean they are not cease, but less serious than an aattempted assassination. Statutes that cover an attempt on a former president. So lots of ways to charge the guy. Its important evidence of intent and motive, all of which prosecutors could use in the trial. And all of which the prosecutors can use at a detention hearing. I dont think they will have any difficulty at all having this guy detained and in trial. The state of florida announced its own investigation. The suspect has not been federally charged with attempted assassination. Could the state of florida add different or additional charges in this case . They absolutely could. State of florida and the federal government are separate sovereigns. People think the question you pose would be prohibitive by the double jeopardy clause. Its not. As long as there are separate crimes chargeable by separate sovereigns, in this case the state and the federal government, the state can absolutely proceed. Now there will be a question of who goes first and whether if mr. Ruth is convicted in Federal Court and receives lengthy or life sentences, it still makes sense for the florida officials to proceed, but can they proceed independently . Absolutely.

Election day is just over six weeks away, and our new Nbc NewsPoll ShowsKamala Harris leading former President Trump by 5 points, within the margin of error. Joining us now is Steve Kornacki at the big board. What are your take aways from this poll . A couple ways to look at it. You see harris with that 5point Advantage overall. One of the things that goes into this is a Gender Gap. Look at this among men in our poll, trump leading harris. Thats a margin of 12 points. Among women, look at the Margin Harris is running up Over Trump. Thats the margin of 21 points in her favor. So 21 toward harris, 12 toward trump. Thats a Gender Gap in our poll of 33 points. Thats about 10 points more than we saw in 2020 and in 2016. Those elections we had historically high Gender Gaps for this would be significantly higher, if this is something that pans out on election day. But running up that massive margin, particularly among women, helping harris there to that 5point Edge overall in the poll. Then we break it down by race. And i think what stands out on this one is the number right here. Among black voters, harris leading 857. Why is that significant . Think back to when Joe Biden was still the democratic candidate. In the polling of biden vs. Trump, we consistently saw booind was getting a much lower share of the black vote. The black vote is typically a very core democratic constituency. Bidens number had been low when he had been the candidate. This Trump Number in a lot of polling had been in the teens, in the high teens in some cases, which doesnt sound like a lot, but historically for a republican, trump was looking at some numbers in those polls. Much higher than youd see for republicans. So now in our poll at least here, an indication that harris has returned the black vote to sort of its more historical level in terms of what democrats are hoping to get out of this. Thats what were seeing in our poll, at least in that potentially significant because that was an area that when biden was the candidate, democrats said theres some real slack in the democratic coalition here. They were saying particularly because of his struttings with the black vote. Steve, that third line is hispanic latino. 54 to 35, that seems quite high for the former president. This is interesting. 19 points right now is the margin our Poll Shows for harris Over Trump. Thats not that different than our final poll when it was biden versus we had the latino vote going the same. One of the story was the strides that trump made with latino voters. If you were to lose the latino vote by 1 points, that would be further progress for trump and for republicans among latinos. Steve kornacki, thank you so much. With us now to continue our conversation is former congresswoman Donna Edwards and former republican congressman carlos. Both are msnbc political analysts. So a 21point LeadOver Trump when it comes to dealing with the issue of abortion. How do democrats continue to use this to continue gaining momentum . I think they continue to use it to gain momentum, i do believe that up fortunately, former President Trump has been trying to wish away the issue of abortion as though its not important. I think whats really clear is for democrats, this is a key part of why they maintain their status with democrats and with voters, but it also the is really key to increasing numbers among women and young people. The entire coalition that they need to turn out on November 5th or through the election. So this is a really important number for democrats, but they cant let go of it. They cant let up. They have to continue hammering the message. The Nbc News poll also finds that harris has a 19point LeadOver Trump among women voters. Heres what the former president had to say over the weekend. At long last, this national nightmare that were going through will be over. Women will be happy, healthy, confident and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion because it is now where it always had to be with the state asks with the vote of the people. What do you think trumps trying to say here . I think trump is aware of the Gender Gap. He understands that the gap is way too wide at this stage in the race. He really needs to close out a little bit. He knows that abortion is driving a lot of those sentiments among wimp. We have seen him try to have it both ways on abortion. We know that for his base, his pro Life Stance is very important. He tends to highlight the fact that he appointed the justices that overturned roe v. Wade, yet when hes speaking to broader audiences, he tries to pull back. Hes been critical of the 6week with ban in florida and in other states implying at one point to Nbc News that he would vote againsts the position that the Republican Party Of Florida is holding on a constitutional amendment. So Donald Trump knows that he needs to close this Gender Gap a little bit if hes going to be able to win this race. So thats why you hear him making those kinds of statements. Politico had a piece over the weekend looking at how Vice President harris is not focusing on Identity Politics on latino voters, focusing on issues that matter to them. Crime, the economy, immigration, what do you make of this strategy . Its so smart. Its about not treating the Elect Tort as though its only concerned about one thing. So i think its really important on different direction that Kamala Harris is taking the democratic party, recognizing that latino voters just like all americans care about a range of different issues. Then trying to focus in a message for those constituencies that can resinate with them. So i think its actually really smart strategy. She doesnt talk about her own identity in that way. She doesnt treat others in that same way. Sort of pandering to the idea they only care about one issue. So i think its right on point. This Nbc News poll finds when it comes to securing the border and controlling immigration, trump has a big lead over the Vice President. But when it comes to treating immigrants humanely and protecting immigrant rights, harris has a big lead Over Trump. Which of these two issues carry more weight come November 5th . Immigration has been a major advantage. Now the issue is that Donald Trump has started speaking about immigration in a way thats Ailuate Nated some voters, particularly swing voters who would tend to agree with the position that we have to be tougher on border security, but those same people dont like immigrants to be demonized. They want to hear that people are treated with the humanity that they deserve, with the dignity they deserve, and thats where Donald Trump, even though he leads on the Immigration Issue when you look at the poll, that lead has been diminished because of his own rhetoric. Heres another example of Donald Trump become his own worst enemy, whereas Vice PresidentHarris Pivoted to the center the way candidates typically do when the general election when its time for the general election to the come. Donald trump has done the opposite. Hes pivoted back towards his base. I think that helps explain the shift in the numbers. Thank you both so very much.
