Earlier this Year And Kamala harris visits, the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene as a new Storm Heads towards areas only beginning to rebuild newsroom with Kim Brunhuber and we begin in The Middle East where fighting is raging on multiple fronts and fears of a bigger war are growing. Justice, israel prepares to mark the anniversary of the Hamas Attack on October 7, a short time ago, israels military announced that its surrounding the Jabalya Refugee CampIn Gaza. It says hamas was detected the area trying to rebuild its operational capabilities. The idf says, its working to stop that from happening and were also getting word of an israeli strike on a mosque In Gaza overnight, which reportedly killed at least 21 people. Now thats happening as the idf is on high alert for Mondays Anniversary of the October 7, the attack.

Whats the latest . Yes. So yet another round of intense airstrikes on the Southern Suburbs of beirut into you run night hours into the early hours of this morning, the Southern Suburbs of beirut beirut, are known to be a hezbollah stronghold. And thats what israel says it was targeting Hezbollah Infrastructure in this area. In particular, again, this southern suburb of beirut, its been very much caught up in this extremely intense aerial Bombardment Campaign thats been taking place for a few weeks now, but not just in southern beirut. You also have a strike that took place very rare one in tripoli thats the northern most city in Lebanon And Attack on a Hamas Operative according to israel, again, showing the Scope And Reach of its offensive on lebanon, israel continues to maintain that these are precision strikes, but absolutely civilians are caught in the middle so far, this assault these three weeks of intensive bombardment, including that ground incursion, has caused 1,400 people to be killed across lebanon, 1 Million displaced. There are calls for ceasefire, calls for calm, but prime Minister Netanyahu is only ever more defiant. Take a listen to a statement he released from his Office Israel is defending itself on seven fronts against the enemies of civilization for defending ourselves against this barbarism. Israel as defending civilizations against those who seek to impose a dark age of fanaticism on All Of Us rest assured israel will fight until the battle is won. For our sick and for the sake of the Peace And Security of the entire world i want, you to take a note of his tone. There came because this is important. This is yet another dangerous moment in The Middle East. Prime Minister Netanyahu is right now deciding how to respond to Irans Attack on israel on tuesday, the concern is that the response to the retaliation is so large in scope, in scale to only drag iran further into this conflict. Kim, yeah and speaking of iran israel still weighing that response to tehrans missile, Missile Attack absolutely. And theres a few questions here that need to be considered. When is this going to happen . Of course, israel is not going to reveal its military plans, but its important to know that tomorrow, October 7 marks the anniversary of that attack on israel. Us officials were asked if they see that that could potentially be a date October 7, as the dpp for retaliation. Of course, they told reporters, we simply dont know. Its unclear at this time, but theres two things that israel needs to play out here. Are they going to respond to intention of Irans Attack . This was the largest ballistic Missile Attack, the largest attack by iran on israel. So its scope in scale is extremely large, but its impact was small, minimal damage, one person killed. So does israel respond to the actual results of that attack and respond in a more limited way. And then of course theres the response to the response because he ron has already vowed that however, israel retaliates is iran could retaliate even further at is that for tat that continues to draw this region deeper and deeper into a war that only claims more and more lives by the date yeah, absolutely. Salma abdelaziz in london. Thanks so much. And us secretary of State Antony Blinken is reaching out to foreign leaders to try to quell the destruction in The Middle East the top american diplomat spoke with his saudi french, and qatari counterparts On Saturday. The talks focused on the conditions for civilians in Life Lebanon and gaza, and the importance of allowing people on both sides of the Israellebanon Border to return to their homes. When can also discuss a Ceasefire And Hostage release negotiations In Gaza with the french foreign minister. And those talks are effectively in limbo. Well, we are less than a month away from Election Day here in the u. S. As both president ial Nominees Battle to secure any undecided voters. Vice president Kamala Harris is back in Washington Today and former president Donald Trump is expected to visit wisconsin for another rally. Now, trump traveled to butler, pennsylvania On Saturday where he survived an Assassination Attempt in july, he honored the victims of the shooting during a rally, but he also suggested that is political rivals may have tried to kill him without providing any evidence. Cnns Alayna Treene reports former president Donald Trump return to butler, pennsylvania On Saturday, exactly 12 weeks after that first Assassination Attempt on his life in july. Now, one thing of note is they held him in the exact same rally as it was back in july, but some things were different. There was definitely a heightened security. You could see more agents on the ground, but the rally On Saturday was really about honoring the victims especially the man who had died in july his name was Corey Comperatore and Donald Trump spoke at length about him on stage. He actually paused his remarks at six p. M. The exact at time 12 weeks earlier that the gunman had fired those shots for a moment of silence. Donald trump also spoke about the victims who were injured that day and thank local Law Enforcement on the ground. However, part of this speech in butler actually reminded me of the suites Donald Trump delivered the Republican National Convention just days after that Assassination Attempts when he had promised a message of unity and gave one for roughly 30 minutes. And its, but then segue into a kind of the typical Donald Trump we know by using harsh rhetoric and attacking his political opponents. He did the same thing On Saturday as did his Running Mate, Jd Vance. Take a listen over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, tried to throw me off the ballot and who knows, maybe even tried to kill me first, they tried to silence him. When that didnt work, they tried to bankrupt them when that didnt work, they tried to jail him and with all the hatred they have spewed at president trump, it was only a matter of time before somebody tried to kill him now, both Donald Trump and Jd Vance have, in the past, tried to claim that perhaps democrats their rhetoric arguing that he has the right to democracy, could have been responsible for the Assassination Attempt. Of course, theres no evidence to suggest that that is true. And just one other moment of note On Saturday is that Donald Trump called up Elon Musk to the stage. This is the first time we have seen musk not only add a rally, but to get up on stage and speak at one. Also worth noting, Musk First endorsed Donald Trump just moments after the its the Nation Attempt in butler on july 13. So kind of a fullcircle moment there and of course, musk has become really a top surrogate for Donald TrumpOn Saturday he argued that this is going to be the most important election of americans lifetimes. Alayna treene, cnn, butler, pennsylvania so as alayna mentioned there, trump invited billionaire Elon Musk to speak during the rally. So heres what, some of i think this election is most important election of our lifetime this is, this is no ordinary election the other side wants to take away your Freedom Of Speech they were to take away your right to bear arms that they want to they want to take away your right to vote effectively if people dont know whats whats going on, if they dont know the truth, how can you how can you make an informed vote . You must have Free Speech in order to have democracy. Thats why its the first amendment the second amendment, is there to ensure that we have the first amendment now, Kamala Harris has pushed back on that claim saying shes a gun owner. And so as her Running Mate, tim walz, son, she says theyre not taking away anybodys guns now, harris was in North Carolina Saturday where Hurricane Helene had its deadliest impact. The Vice President met with volunteers at the Dream Center or primary Care Facility in charlotte and help them pack essentials for Hurricane Victims she also thanked members of the Air National Guard for the work they were doing in disaster relief. And she said the purpose of her for visit was to see for herself what federal resources were needed to aid the recovery process. And get the help to people who need it so i came here to find out whats going on the ground to find out what more we can do in terms of federal aid, such as what we announced stay, and the federal support were giving to make Mecklenburg County in terms of disaster relief, the work that were doing, which is 100 Million to assist with the rebuilding of Interstate 40 and, also again, just to thank the folks on the ground for what theyre doing every day i want to bring in natasha lindstaedt, whos a professor of government at the university of essex, and she joins us now from colchester, england. Thanks so much for being here with us again, ill get back to the response to Hurricane Helene in a moment, but i want to start with Donald Trumps return to butler, pennsylvania. Trump paid tribute to the man who lost his life. He did say that the movement stands stronger and more united. He, he projected strength and resilience. So what did you make of his remarks . So i think hes returned to butler. Was about recapturing the momentum. Some of trumps rallies have had, it has been reported, havent been that well attended. People have been leaving early. And in this particular rally in butler, there were people waiting for hours. And i think for trumps kasie wanted to have a chance to do this all over because right after his Assassination Attempt there was just a lot of momentum behind him. Five days later, he hadnt Republican National Convention. It seemed like a lock that he was going to be the next president. And then a few weeks later, you have biden dropping out of the Race And None of the Attack Tension was on this Assassination Attempt, this incredibly momentous event. So they were trying to portray him both as this Human Personnel who tried to humanize him some of the speeches talking about the way that he responded to the Assassination Attempt, but also portraying him as this hero, this invincible figure that could face down assassins. And as vance said, while harris was afraid of taking interviews yeah so this was more about gaining momentum yeah you know, facing down assassins, the almost implore implying that they were democratic assassins. I mean, its curious that trump and his Running Mate have said that the Assassination Attempt was a result of heightened rhetoric we. Make of the fact that then trump now suggesting basically is political opponents tried to kill him i mean, its just ridiculous. If you really think about what happened in January 6 and the rhetoric incredibly violent, destructive, and divisive rhetoric that trump was using that led to the deaths. According to the New York Times, of at least five people and led to a siege on the capitol. And then him claiming that the democrats rhetoric was the problem when we also know that the assassin was a registered republican, there wasnt any evidence at all that democrats were behind this all right. So we saw Elon Musk, the worlds richest man. By trumps sides, mosque has helped prop up many of the rightwing Conspiracy Theories with his platform x. So what effect do you think his support might have in the race, if any . So i dont see Elon Musk in this moment as a very popular figure amongst the u. S. Public. Hes bee
