Tuesdays matchup will be the first time the men will meet in person. It will offer a chance to reintroduce themselves to the country. Since joining their Campaigns Walz and vance paths have diverged. Voters have found him to be likable which has been a boost for his and Kamala Harris campaign. Vance history of comments has been a liability for Donald Trump and polls show his favorability ratings are underwater. The stakes are high. Especially with early voting underway in many states. This may be the last marquee event of the election cycle. Harris accepted a proposed debate for October 23rd but there hasnt been Indication Trump is going to change his mind about doing another. I want to talk about a key part of the economic argument thats been playing out the cycle. Tariffs. The Word Tariff properly used is a beautiful word
Explosion. This is what beirut has been enduring, massive israeli strikes that could ignite the whole region because israel killed its target, sheikh hassan nasrallah. For his followers, it s a devastating blow, for his iranian backers, a strategic loss. The longtime leader of hezbollah was a long time in hiding. This was the moment, in a new york hotel room on friday, when binyamin netanyahu approved the strike on his old enemy. Translation: the state of israel yesterday eliminated the master murderer hassan nasrallah. We settled accounts with the one responsible for the murder of countless israelis and many citizens of other countries. Nasrallah was not another terrorist, he was the terrorist. Israel claims this is a historic turning point. For many in beirut, it s a time of fear. Plenty were fleeing the city today, clinging to the hope of finding safety somewhere. But there is danger in every direction in lebanon. We travelled through dahieh, the hezbollah stronghold now looking any
Bombings, is he hoping to continue humiliating hezbollah and showing it up as powerless? but suppose hezbollah hangs on and keeps firing missiles at israel, to the point where mr netanyahu feels he s got to take that extra step of putting israeli boots on lebanese soil? i spoke to nafiseh kohnavad, a middle east correspondent of bbc world service, at her flat in beirut. Nafiseh originally worked as a journalist in iran, but was forced to leave after asking too many hard questions of iran s political leaders. At the moment that i m talking to you, israeli air strikes have intensified significantly. For the first time, when hassan nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah, was giving a speech, he clearly mentioned that now this is a new phase, and that the group was expecting that israeli forces may enter southern lebanon by land. Before that, erm, all words were around that both sides don t want allout war. Now, you re in beirut, of course, and i can hear, in the background, children playing.
