This is cnn new central the sort off getting to that breaking news out . Of ukraine, 41 people killed, nearly 200 wounded in a russian attack on whats described as a Military Educational Facility in central ukraine ukraine. Lets get right over to cnns fred pleitgen, whos on the ground in kyiv for us. What are you learning . Fred hi there, kate. Obviously a lot of this information is still just coming into us very fresh and ukrainian sort of coming out with it bit by bit. But the one thing that they have confirmed very early ones, at least 41 people have been confirmed to be killed. Its unclear whether or not that number is still going to rise as the rescue crews still very much on the scene, ukrainians are also saying that around 180 people were injured in the strikes that took place. They have offered some details as to what appears to have happened there. Weve already mentioned this is a Military Educational Facility. They say that the strike partially destroyed the Communications Institute Building of that facility and the ukrainians are saying that there was actually an Air Alert as Air Raid Alert that went off shortly before the strike took place, but they also say that the time from which the Air Raid sirens went off to when the missiles impacted was so short that those who are in that area where were still in the process of getting to Air Raid shelters when the impacts happened in, obviously, a lot of them caught off guard. The ukrainians are right now speaking to ballistic missiles, Search And Rescue crews apparently on the scene very quickly and that central city of a poltava, the ukrainians are saying they managed to save 25 people in the debris and have to pull 11 of them out of the actual debris. As you can imagine, the hospitals there are right now filled up with people that they are trying to treat and the foreign minister of this country, dmytro kuleba, he came out a couple of minutes ago on cnn and said that this once again shows that ukraine needs more Air Defense systems. Obviously, the ukrainians ripping already into the russians over this officially the Russian Military and the russian government have not commented on this yet. However, there are some very prominent Russian Military Bloggers who have in fact said that russia did attack this Military Educational Facility. Obviously a huge blow for the ukrainians. And this is definitely one of the largest single Mass Casualty strikes that weve seen here in ukraine, at least over the past couple of months lets kate. Yeah, huge impact their fred. Thank you so much foR Your reporting oh, sorry sorry, fred, were having a little bit of Communication Problem here on our end how does, how, when you take these strikes that this, these strikes that happened overnight, your reporting on how does this fit into the overall Pattern Weve seen strategy, weve seen unfold yeah yeah, absolutely. Its something that weve seen over the past couple of weeks here that the russians have apparently drastically expanded the use of ballistic missiles, Cruise Missiles, and drones. Of course, in aerial campaign. I think we can call it against ukrainian cities, against frontline positions. Of course as well, but also villages and entire regions. If we look at just the past couple of Days Yesterday for instance, was the first day of school here in ukraine of the new term and there was a gigantic russian missile attack. Most of it focused here on the capital kyiv, where i am right now, a lot of us of course, were ripped out of our sleep at around 5 00 a. M. In the morning when the Air Raid sirens went off and there were several ballistic and Cruise Missiles that impacted the ukrainian say they managed to take down most of those missiles. But of course, some of them did impact at sites of the city. There were three people who were wounded in that. And then you have the region of kharkiv, which is very close to the russian border. Just over the weekend, there was a big barrage of russian missiles that struck that town. And the ukrainians are saying that 41 people were injured in those because that area is very close to the border the russians, there for those aerial attacks, not only using drones and missiles, but also using their jets as well. And some pretty heavy munitions that theyre dropping on a lot of the buildings, but its something that we have indeed seen increase over the past couple of weeks a monday, a go for instance, there was what the ukrainians call the largest barrage, the largest single barrage to ever hit ukrainian territory where the russians used over 120 missiles and more than 100 drones to strike various areas of, you of ukrainian territory. So its certainly something where we do appear to be seeing a pattern where the russians have definitely increase that aerial campaign. And now the ukrainians are saying this, another signal of, of whats been going on. Kasie fred. Thank you so much, sir. All right. A Post Labor Day predebate tango as the 2024 race enters its official final sprint, when week from today, the first Facetoface Showdown takes place, meaning right now at the time for each candidate to get their debate ducks in a row for team harris, the next 48 hours is nearly all about tHe Economy. She will unveil new policy Details Tomorrow as her Campaign Today drops a Brand New Tv Ad targeting the middleclass, something she just reiterated on the trail the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up families you know, what to cnns Priscilla Alvarez is leading us off this morning. Priscilla, what are you learning about this message that is being the focus of the Harris Campaign right now. Well, theyre certainly trying to fine tune their message on tHe Economy. Of course, this is an issue where the Vice President typically lags behind former President Donald Trump in the polls. Theyre trying to seize it again and really make the case that the Vice President is focused on affordability lowering housing prices, for example, or drug costs so that is what we have seen on the campaign trail yesterday. Now, notably, she was joined by president joe biden. He of course won the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania by less than two percentage points in 2020 and the campaign sees him as a particularly being useful in utilized in the Blue Wall states its given that he has been boosted by Labor Groups and union workers. And so bringing the two togetheR Yesterday gives you just a better glimpse of how they plan to strategize over the next few months on this particular issue. Now, of course, despite all of this, the Vice President repeatedly on the trail has said that today they are the underdog in the race, and that is a message that she gave to those in the Crowd Yesterday its going to be a tight race to the very end. So lets not pay too much attention to those polls. Because as unions and labor knows best, we know what its like to be the underdog and we are the underdogs in this race. And we have some hard work done ahead of us. But heres the beauty of us in this room we like hard work now the campaign is fanning out across the country with surrogates like president joe biden, who will be going to wisconsin and michigan. And also with the launch of a reproductive Rights Tour starting today in florida with Senator Klobuchar and the campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez of course, florida in play where abortion he is on the ballot now, in a memo over the weekend, the chair saying that Reproductive Rights is a quote powerful piece of the campaign. So in the runup to the president ial debate, the campaign leaning on tHe Economy and Reproductive Rights to make their case to voters before she goes Toe To toe against former President Donald Trump. Priscilla alvarez. Thank you so much foR Your reporting this morning for us Jaw Right with us now, is Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz a democrat from florida, who will be on the Reproductive Rights bus tour. Congresswoman quinnipiac in the Wall Street Journal, both did polls last week where they asked voters little bit different questions. But what is the most important issue to you in one . On pole and extremely important to you in the other and in the Wall Street Journal poll, abortion was at 14 . THe Economy is atonye 9 . You can see right there tHe Economy twice as important according to voters as abortion in the Quinnipiac Poll Democracy was top ranked economy second, and then abortion down at 33 and a little bit down the list. So i guess my question to you is, why arent you about to go on an Economy Tour were going on a reproductive Rights Tour because were starting here in Donald Trumps backyard in Palm Beach County which in our state, across the across florida we are the Poster Child for Maga Extremism that has ripped womens reproductive Health Care decisions from them a ban so extreme that it it is likely that most women dont even know that theyre pregnant at six weeks, which is when our band begins. And on top of that, you have severe restrictions that could have Doctors Land in prison. And even people who are aiding in providing a woman within the board. And after, after six weeks could be arrested. This is the worst example of the antidemocratic proposals and policies of Donald Trump. Hes proud that he appointed a Supreme Court that overturned Roe V. Wade. And we need to make sure that we focus on tHe Economy which the Bidenharris Record is incredibly strong, reducing Prescription Drug costs, making sure we created more than 15 Million jobs and counting bringing inflation down, we have a record to run on, but making sure that the government is not all up in your personal Health Care business is a critical one and we have an Abortion Rights ballot. Ballot initiative here amendment for that we want to make sure that folks across the state know about and vote yes. For so its interesting because Donald Trump, just last week in 124 Hour Period said that he wanted to vote for more than six weeks. He wanted he didnt approve of a sixweek ban. He wanted more weeks there, but then he also 24 hours later, said he was going to vote no on amendment four, which as you noted, would overturn effectively that ban. How do you reconcile those two positions . Donald Trump Cant be trusted for anything that comes out of his mouth. He very clearly what stood with people who believed that abortion should be nearly completely illegal. He appointed a Supreme Court and its proud of It That overturned and Roe V wade and he when he says that Abortion Rights should be left to the states, left to the state, and state of Florida Abortion rights essentially ended even if a womans life is in danger, the legislature, the State Legislature here under ron desantis, a Maga Extremist to copy banned abortion. In the cases of rape, incest, and whether the Mothers Life is in jeopardy, except only in tHe Extreme most extreme circumstances. This is not where the mainstream of americans are or the mainstream of floridians are and we want to make sure that we can continue the policies that have that have been administrating by the Bidenharris Administration of reducing Prescription Drug costs, creating jobs bringing costs down and thats what Kamala Harris is continuing to talk about. And also making housing more affordable, which is a real issue in florida to i do want to go back to tHe Economy here. New york times did something interesting today. They had James Carville write a piece about what he thought democrats should do. Kamala harris should do to win tHe Election. And in Lindsey Graham, senator from south carolina, wrote a piece about what he thought Donald Trump should do to win tHe Election. And this is what senator Lindsey Graham wrote. He wrote when Ms Harris and democrats say, were not going back, that isnt the winning slogan. I think it is, if anything, it shows just how out of touch they are. Of course, americans want to go back to affordable groceries, a secure border, and a world that respects both the united states and its Commander In Chief what do you think about that americans dont want to go back to an administration that Donald Trump presided over. That killed millions of people during covid, that that had a Mass Deportation Policy that was one that lead to the overturning of Abortion Rights that supports tearing Health Care away in florida, we have the most affordable Care Act, Care Act signups in the country every year because people want to make sure that when theyre sick, they can afford to go to the doctor. Donald trumps supports tearing that Health Care away and making it so that we would go back to the days when preexisting conditions were not covered when you couldnt get basic Preventative Care without a copay, he would create more economic Health Care
