Coast in a few hours. Tonight, milton expected to bring a mix of Storm Surge, high winds and Power Outages to communities across florida. More than 1 Million people are under Evacuation Orders with local officials urging people in vulnerable zones to get to safety now. If you were as blunt as we have seen a public official be. If people stay in the Evacuation Zones and try to ride it out, they will die. Is that still your message this morning . Wherever that Storm Surge comes, if its 10 to 15 feet and people are trying to ride this out in singlestory structures, theres no place to go. At any moment we expect to hear from President Biden and Vice President harris on the federal response. Al roker is here joining me with the latest on Miltons Path. Our Reporting Team is bringing us the latest from the ground. President biden speaking with Netanyahu Today for the first time in nearly seven weeks.

Hezbollah back from israels border. Joining us now, nbcs Matt Bradley in beirut, former u. S. Ambassador to morocco and former president ial middle East Adviser mike ginsburg, u. S. Retired Army Colonel Jack jacobs as well. I want to bring with nbcs white House Correspondent Monica alba with us by phone. You have this breaking news reporting. What have you learned about this potential iranian attack against israel . Well, ana, this is coming from a senior white House Official and a department of Defense Official who confirmed to myself and to our Pentagon Correspondent Courtney Kube this indication that the united states has, which is typically a reflection of Intelligence And Information that they have gleaned from other countries, who would potentially be affected by this, that iran is indeed preparing to launch that ballistic Missile Attack against israel. Now, to put this into context, this is something that has happened before, it happened earlier this year as we may remember. And
Has the details from Los Angeles. Evan, what do we now . Well, this was a bit of a Surprise Gambit that we had in court here, just about 20 minutes ago here in Los Angeles Dana Hunter bidens attorneys asked for him to enter an unusual plea. Its called an Alford Plea where Hunter Biden would accept whatever punishment that judge doles out, but he maintains his innocence and instead of Pleading Guilty, hes maintaining his or is attempting to maintain his innocence.

What happened there is the former president , youll probably remember, he broke the news On Truth Social, and then there was several days before we got the details of the case. The Special Counsel got a lot of feedback on handling it that way, allowing the former president to fill the void, not giving people information and the facts in an indictment, particularly in a case of this kind of historic significance.
