And so a very fraught Week Volodymyr Z zelensky in the u. S. Now he really needs to see us Assistance And Progress fast to bring results in by november. Yeah, huge stakes for zelenskyy and all of ukraine and in the u. S. Election, nick paton walsh, thank you very much. Brand new hour of cnn, new central starts right now all right new this morning, the close Selection Weve ever seen, at least for now, new polling from three key Battleground States shows just how tight the race is at least 100 people have been killed by israeli strikes in lebanon as the idf says, it is launching what it calls extensive for precise strikes against hezbollah. And after more than 100 jordan, 80 days in space and 3,000 orbits of earth. A us astronaut heading back home, it is not. Kate baldwin know she is out today. Im John Berman with sara the signer, and this is cnn new central breaking moments ago lebanese Health Officials say at least 100 people have been killed and more than 400 wounded by israeli airstrikes in lebanon. As the idf says, it is conducting an intense campaign against hezbollah targets. Classes should be Class Clashes have been suspended in several regions across lebanon to protect students and the israeli military is warning civilians now to leave areas where the iranbacked Militant Group is operating cnn senior international correspondent Ben Wedeman is in beirut with more details. What are you learning about these strikes and had been ongoing since overnight . Yes. Sara well, for all intents and purposes, war has begun between Hezbollah And Israel with lebanon caught in the middle. In addition to the at least 100 people reported killed by israel in these its airstrikes among them women and children according to the lebanese ministry of health, more than 400 injured. Now, what were seeing now is at least 300 airstrikes so far by israel on us mostly Southern Lebanon, but theyve also struck other parts of the country. These are no doubt the most intense israeli strikes since the 2006 war in july of that year what we are seeing is a Mass Exodus of people from Southern Lebanon. The roads coming out of the south are jammed with cars in both lanes going south and going north. Everybody is on their way out of that area. I was in touch with one person down there. Is that its just total chaos with everybody with towns and cities just being totally evacuated. The israeli military, for instance broke into a, The Voice of Lebanon Radio Station with a message for people who are in houses or near houses where hezbollah has stored weapons that they should leave immediately. Many as 80,000 people also received on their Cell Phones similar messages from the israelis. Now as you mentioned, the classes in many areas of south and Eastern Lebanon have been canceled as a result of the tensions the lebanese prime Minister Najib Mikati has called on the un and what he called influential countries to deter israel from carrying on with this Military Offensive he said that israel is planning to destroy villages and towns in lebanon. So this is really the Culmination Building tensions between israel and hezbollah. Going back to Last Tuesday when there were those Pager Blasts across the country that left more than a dozen dead, thousands of injured. The following day, the walkietalkie attacks and then on friday, the airstrike on beirut that killed at least 50 people in that instance, including a senior hezbollah commander. So as i said, for all intents and purposes, the long feared war between Lebanon And Israel has begun. Sara Ben Wedeman, you have been in the region for decades. You know it better than anyone. And to hear you say that war has begun between Lebanon And Israel sends chills down my spine. Thank you so much for all of your reporting out there this morning for us, john are we got brand new polls this morning from the New York Times, Sienna College, and it shows that Donald Trump has a Fivepoint Lead in arizona that is outside the margin of Error Georgia and margin of error in georgia in North Carolina, you can see trump with the lead within the margin of error. Now the polling in North Carolina was mostly done before the storm running Cnn Kfile Report on North Carolina republican gubernatorial Candidate Mark Robinson and overnight top Campaign Staffers. His top Campaign Staffers resigned this is as a result of the K File reporting on his online history of inflammatory. Again, thats euphemistic inflammatory comments on a porn website forum. Now, Donald Trump has yet to publicly comment on robinson, who is his pick for governor of North Carolina. Cnns Alayna Treene is with us this morning. Trump, j. D vance. Theyre taking a wide berth, their steering you know, is clear as they can from robinson right now they are unless theyve had an opportunity now to try and condemn the comments weigh in on this and they havent remember we saw Donald Trump in North Carolina on saturday for a rally, really just stunning timing. Id argue. But he did not address the Robinson Scandal at all. Notably, of course, robinson was not theyre even though he had been at most, if not all, of Donald Trumps North Carolina events over the last several months, you can read between the lines there. I know that Donald Trumps team is trying to distance the former president from him. They were already trying to do that before this. Cnn Kfile Reporting dropped, given that this isnt the first time we have heard really inflammatory touri remarks from the Lieutenant Governor Mark robinson. But look, were also going to see j. D. Vance travel to North Carolina today. So again, another opportunity to potentially see them weigh in on this, but i think the big thing to keep in mind with North Carolina is that as much as robinson was not really doing so great in his own Governors Race already he, before this story dropped, the stakes are very high for Donald Trump and we did see that in some of this polling today. Now i do want to walk you through all of it. I mean, North Carolina shows that he has a slim lead over Kamala Harris. But again, this is a state that republicans have won since 2008. A democrat of not, has not been successful there since baraka obamas first election. So well see if harris can make up ground there. I know that shes been traveling there repeatedly and Donald Trumps team has really been amping up their efforts, their spending, seeing him on the ground there as much as possible, knowing that that is a state that is very vital to his chances in november, but i want to talk about the other polling as well. So arizona and georgia chose Donald Trump has this narrow lead. These were some of the best Polling Numbers we have seen actually for the former president , id argue in the Sun Belt states. So something i know that his campaign is celebrating. You saw some of his Advisers Today like Jason Miller posting about these results. But one thing to keep in mind when were looking and then walking through this New York Times Sienna College poll, is that about 15 of the electorate in arizona, in georgia, in North Carolina, all of them say that they are about there are still 15 of them are undecided, which means these states are still up for grabs. Even though were just 43 days from Election Day, a lot of states its have begun early voting and some of the mailin voting process. Theres still a change, a chance to change minds. And so thats where a lot of this is settling. And thats why youre going to see Donald Trump continuing to ramp up his travel. This week. I also just want to take a step back and note for you kind of take the pulse of where the Trump Campaign is right now, because what i do you find notable john, is that when they launched and when they first started getting their campaign together, the Trump Campaign argued they were the most disciplined operation that he has had. Really in any election that he has run in so far. But we are seeing some of that change now, the last few weeks have been very turbulent for the former president with some of his comments and the reaction to harris, the debate going against Taylor Swift online, all of these things are definitely having some leading to some concerns within the trump camp. And so there were definitely trying to make this next push to November 5 be as strong as they can as they look at all these polls drawn the campaign a, b, disciplined. Hes not like, not at all last few weeks, thats clear. Clearer every day Alayna Treene, were going to talk about that a little bit. Thank you so much for being with us this morning. Sara. All right. Were just one week away from a Government Shutdown will deal be made to avoid it. House speaker Mike Johnson unveiled his new plan to fund the government until december including 230 Million in additional funding for the secret Service Johnson also warns members of the serious consequences of shutting down the government now, cnn southern to 40 is joining us now. How close are they to a deal . They are close as was the result of bipartisan negotiations that happened over the weekend In The House unveiled this deal that they have in a path to go forward. Now they have to get it done. The house is anticipated to vote on wednesday, the first step of this process. Now, whats in the bill, it would avoid a gun Government Shutdown. Most importantly, that they were staring down, looking into next week and it would fund the government until december 20. So a very shortterm Continuing Resolution it does include 231 Million for Secret Service protection. Thats additional funding that many on capitol hill, were asking for to help with coverage of the 2024 president ial campaign. It notably does not include that controversial provision that Speaker Johnson and President Trump pushed for originally, the save act, which was legislation to require proof of citizenship to register vote. That is not in this bill, most notably, in Speaker Johnson admitting that he says in his words, this is a very narrow barebones Continuing Resolution only including what is necessary in a letter to colleagues over the weekend, he wrote, while this is not a solution, any of us prefer, it is the he most prudent path forward under the present circumstances, shutting the government down less than 40 days from a fateful election would be an act of political malpractice in democrats over in the senate, which is where this bill would go when an, if it gets passed In The House on wednesday, theyre embracing it so far saying that it is good that is free in their terms of Poison Pills that they are pleased that this is something thats coming to their desk before a potential Government Shutdown. So potentially sara, they werent they are working towards finishing up work. Potentially this week all right. Sunlen sephardi. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Com dynamite live on tbs this morning polls by the New York Times and Sienna College has Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris among likely votes in arizona, a closer margin in georgia and in North Carolina. Where it is in the margin of error a grassroots network called white dudes for harris has launched a new 10 Ad Campaign Pain Pitching Vice President harris to male voters. The ads will run in the critical Blue Wall states of pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin i think were all pretty sick of hearing how much we suck every time you go online, its the same story. Were the problem and yeah, some white dudes are dropped and all his maga Buddies Route theyre making it worse. So ive been doing my own research and decided to check out kamala here and tim walz. And before you jump down my throat, theyre actually talking to guys like gosh, no lectures, no bs just real solutions to protect our freedoms and help us Take Care of the Matter End of the day, youre your own man its your call joining us now to discuss this cofounder of white dudes for Harris Ross and morales, ro khanna. Thank you so much for being here. First of all, what made you start this group, white dudes for harris and i suspect some of it has to do with the polling the left has essentially seated white men to the Maga Right . And a thing that we know is that most man especially most white men, arent actually maga supporters. And so we decided that we wanted to create space for white men to be a part of electing Vice President harris so, you know, there are many of these zooms where its like Cat Ladies for harris and different groups. Thats how people have been getting together. But now spending 10 Million on ads. How to do it . We launched the ad last week. We are hoping to get them up on the air and the next couple of weeks and to be honest, just good oldfashioned organizing were out there making sure that we have conversations with white men across the battlegrounds states, making sure that they understand that Vice President harris and Governor Walz are really the only choice for them, especially when it comes to their pocketbook issues, when it comes to supporting your family, when it comes to your Health Care, when it comes to your freedoms, theres really only one Choice And Selection what are you hearing as these Phone Calls are being made . What are you hearing for people and are you hearing pushback . Are you hearing people say, well, im not sure. Were dealing with xi was in the administration and we have seen high prices and shes been there for three plus years a lot of people that theyre really excited about this E Change that we have that she honestly represents were hearing that people are really concerned about, as i said, their pocketbook issues were also hearing that people are sick of Donald Trumps antics and theyre sick of turning on television and seeing people scream about how horrible things are right now. And people want a different kind of politics and i think thats what were going to be able to get this election how do you think this ad might change the minds of d or do you think it could change the minds of some trump supporters . Are you going after folks who are on the fence or who are moderates that feel like they might be able to jump over yeah, were going off where were going after folks who dont identify as being a part of the maga, right but arent necessarily sure who they want to vote for this election cycle. So folks who are undecided, folks in the middle its really important that we create space in the democratic party for these folks because we just havent in the past. And i think the top of the ad really talks to it pretty directly, which is, you know, theres large parts of the left too. Gone out of their way to alienate white men over the last couple of years. And thats understandable in many ways. And also, if were going to win and if were going to move this country in the direction that we really want to see it in. We have to be a big Tent Coalition all right. Ross morales were keto. Thank you so much. I appreciate you coming on for us this morning john. All right.

Knocked body feels like im just told we do have some Breaking News involving the suspect in the apparent Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump. He will be in a florida Court Today. Ryan ruth, hes facing two gun crimes after the Secret Service as he pointed a rifle through the Tree Line at trumps Golf Course . In west palm beach, florida. But we are now getting new information in some documents before the a searing. Lets get right to cnns zach cohen. So lay out all this new information. Zach yeah john and a pretrial memo. Prosecutors are laying out new details about what investigators have learned about Ryan Ruth, that suspect in the second apparent Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump in one of the new pieces of evidence laid out in this memo is what appears to be a handwritten letter by ruth. Its addressed to the world and it said has quote, this was an Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump, but i failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption i could muster. It goes on to ask if somebody else got a witness that the prosecution and the investigators talked to, you, could finish the job. So this is really a key piece of evidence thats emerged so far as investigators have continued to try to built an attempted Assassination Attempt against Ryan Ruth, or an attempted Assassination Case against ruth. We know that he only currently faces those two Gun Charges the possession of a firearm, while a convicted Felon And Possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. But those cases are those charges were brought to keep ruth detained while File Investigators continued to try to find evidence of intent, evidence of motive needed to prove those more serious charges. And it appears this handwritten letter that is contained in this pretrial motion. Pretrial memo filed by prosecutors does lend itself to that question of intent. Now, look, were going to see if prosecutors because ultimately do decide to bring more charges against Ryan Ruth and more serious Charges Today is just a Detention Hearing where theyre going to argue that roof should remain behind bars ahead of trial as still only faced those two Gun Charges, theyre going to argue that hes a Flight Risk and a danger to the community, but this evidence laid out in this pretrial memo does suggest that investigation heres have uncovered new evidence that does at least point to ryan Ruse Motive and point. To his intent to attempt to assassinate Donald Trump this is a really important point. You do a great job explaining why zach, because up until this point, the evidence that we knew about was that he had a gun that was pointed, though not at Donald Trump at the Golf Course. Any hadnt fired it. So that in and of itself, it was conceivable, wouldnt lead to attempted assassination charges, but now you have a note which basically according to your new reporting says yeah, this was an Assassination Attempt, right . So with this change the legal picture. Sure completely it seems that way john, as you mentioned, look, the fact that Ron Rue did not fire a shot when he was at trumps Golf Courses, did not have a clear line of sight according to law enforcement, i was on the ground that day almost complicated the case to bring a case attempted Assassination Case from the from the outset why they brought these two Gun Charges initially prosecutors have said that those are pretty cut and dry, right . Because of the fact that they found a gun on the property, the fact they found Shell Casings from the secret Service Agent fired at ruth once they spotted him. But the question of intent has really hung over this case. And the more serious charges and attempted assassination or attempted Murder Or Something along those lines that would require significantly more evidenced that points to Intent And Motive rather than the Gun Charges that are more simple in terms of putting the evidence forward. All right. Legally very important, of course, also very important. A Guy Writing about trying to kill a former president got very, very close to him. All right. Zach cohen, keep us posted. Well let you keep digging, reading through these documents. Well talk to you again very soon. Important new information there just 42 days until Election Day.

I love it then windy City Rehab Season premiere tuesday at 8 00 On Hgtv moment youve been waiting for since we told you right at 7 00, there is brand new polling from the New York Times and siena in a college from key Sun Belt states this polling the question now, what does it all mean in there is one man with the answer to that question to cnn senior data reporter, Harry It and so harry, as i said, honestly, when we hear theres new polling from georgia North Carolina, arizona, the viewers they want to know what it means, what it says, and what you think about it. What does it say first, lets see if i can live Up To the hype of this allright look, you got a lot of red on the screen. This is pretty good news for Donald Trump. This the harris versus Trump Margin unrounded margin. Look at this in arizona, Donald Trump up five in georgia for though ill note, no clear leader, north karolina, a similar story, Donald Trump up three, again, no clear leader, but should take it all together in these three key Battleground States, two of which Joe Biden carried four years ago, we see that Donald Trump is ahead and by an average of four points, significantly better than he did back in 2020 across all these states. I am old enough to remember Last Tuesday, that might have when there was New York Times Sienna Battleground Polling from pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan. That was all blue. Yes, there was that there was that polling from pennsylvania. We had that other polling that essentially showed that Kamala Harris is doing very well in the Great Lakes and this to me seems to be the increasing divide amongst these swing states. These are the averages in the polls, right . Take a look in the Great Lakes harris Up To wisconsin, harris Up To pennsylvania, harris Up To, again, close races. But blue, not red, you jumped over here with me to the Sunbelt Battleground states, you see a little blue at the Top And Nevada Plus One we dont have any new polling from there, but you look at North Carolina trump up by less than a point, arizona and the average trump up by two, Georgia Trump up by two, and the average. So in the Sun Belt battlegrounds, more red than blue, predominantly red in the great Lake Battleground predominantly in fact, all below. And this is going to be the divide im going to be looking at going forward, which has do we continue to see that Kamala Harris does better in these great Lake Battleground states. And then she does in these Sun Belt battleground, first of all, i have to say about nevada somewhere, John Ralston is crying because we dont have new Battleground Polling from nevada shonda. But but that said thats why is there an explanation why Donald Trump is doing better here than here . Yeah, i think the big reason why hi is this, which is trumps 2024 coalition, is more diverse. Alright, so this was among likely voters nationwide back in 2020 81 of Donald Trump voters were white, looked at where we are today. Its just 77 . The nonlife percentage jumps up from 16 to 20 . And if you know anything about them Sun Belt Battleground States is that they are more diverse than those great Lake Battleground states in the southwestern more hispanic than they are nationwide. And the southeast in North Carolina and georgia, they are more africanamerican than they are nationwide. John and i think the real question here is, what is this mean for the electoral map . Because thats what were all interested in. And it is, look, folks, it its just as tight as can possibly be because of the polls are exactly right. Yes. Kamala harris carries these great Lake Battleground states. But of course, Donald Trump carries North Carolina, georgia, and arizona, and that leads to 276 electoral votes for Kamala Harris to to 62 for Donald Trump. But that is only if the polls are exactly right. You saw it back in slide how close these states or the Bottom Line is, were just going to continue to mention this over and over and over again. It is the closest race in a generation, one of which i honestly really dont know whos going to win, john erin. Great to see you. Thanks to see you, sara. No, buddy knows. All right. This morning the Harriswalz Campaign has released a brand new ad focusing on the national battle for reproductive rights. It features a Military Spouse and the potential challenges in getting Ivf Treatment if her husband is relocated this week, the democratic nominee also expected to lay out more of an economic vision to voters in battleground brown blitz, as new polling shows, as you just heard from harry enten, very, very tight race. No one knows who might win this point. Cnns Eva Mckend is with me now. What is the strategy as she lays out her plans for the week . Well, sara keita, the strategy this week is continuing to talk about how restrictive Abortion Bans are impacting women. This is part of a larger push of having women really tell their own stories. Weve seen this on the reproductive Rights Bus Tour that the campaign has employed. And new this morning that Campaign Ad rolling out across the Country Country that features a woman by the name of jasina of tucson. Theyre putting the fight over Ivf Front and center. Lets listen my husband and i are going through Ivf Treatments now. It could be our only chance to have a family. But Donald Trumps plan could ban ivf in some states we are patriots and we go where he is assigned what if we end up in a state where ivf is no longer legal so in addition to talking about reproductive rights, were also going to hear the Vice President buildout her economic plan. But listen, sara, the Harris Team recognizes that while shes gaining a national polls, the former president holds a slight advantage in some of these key states that will decide the election. Thats why we see her returning to pennsylvania and campaigning out west in the coming days and needling the former president , goading him into participating in an additional debate it was one of the strongest moments of her brief Campaign Showing that Contrast Seriousness and message discipline. And what im hearing is there are eager for the opportunity to do it again thank you so much. I know shes spoken about that and we will wait and see probably not likely that there will be a second one, but you never do know. Appreciate your reporting there from washington, john. All right. With us now, cnn political commentator, worker of 12 jobs including the host of battleground se cupp. Very nice. Just to see you. Happy to squeeze in today. Look, he was just talking about this debate which Harriswalz Trump right now, it says he doesnt, which leads me to this question. There are 43 days left. Yeah. I know harris is giving a big economic speech this week but whats left to change minds at this point . Yeah the Debate Part is really important because debates are an Inflection Point in a campaign and they get people to tune in they both need a new, another debate, Donald Trump needs something to sort of change the momentum. And Kamala Harris still has to introduce herself to people. Were hearing that over and over again from swingstate voters, they dont know her enough, so they should both want another debate. But the swingstate voters, were talking to are really telling us they are still undecided because they know exactly who Donald Trump is. They still have questions about Kamala Harris. So not undecided about him, correct . Theyre undecided about her, correct. And so they might stay home. They might vote Third Party but they are they are wanting to hear more from Kamala Harris and what about she she has identified the correct problems. They say they dont have enough specifics on the solutions. Both politically and practically. What would she do to solve x problem inflation, for example. And how would she get congress . To go along with it . These are two things that american voters, theyre not stupid. They see as real political realities and problems. And they want to know more. So if she gives this speech, this economic speech is set piece where shes going to lay out plans today. They will be paying attention well savannah, georgia will and georgia voters are important. She really needs to shore up, especially the black vote in georgia. But nationally know they wont, which is why she needs more interviews. This is not just as he Cup Or Journalism asking for more interviews right . This is because voters are telling us they still have questions that Media Interaction could come in the form of a Town Hall it could be podcasts and other kinds of unconventional media, but shes gotta do more grab people by the lapels somehow some audience, yet to be listen. The Flip Side of all of this you said people want to hear more about Vice President harris what more do they want to hear from Donald Trump particularly when he says in right, stuff like this, lets listen great women women have gone through a lot have gone through a lot. Women are poorer than they were four years ago. Our less healthy than they were four years ago. I will fix all of that. Women. I will fix all of that 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 states you will no longer be thinking about abortion, which is a clunky line at best. Yeah, there. And it a vacuum in a campaign will be the type of thing that might cause ways, but it seems to be the youre telling me at this point, Donald Trump doesnt make any ways with anything he says, well, no, i mean, he is this is this kind of stuff has repelling the very voters he will need these undecided swingstate, mostly suburban women they will still be thinking about abortion and fats, thanks, in large part to his rhetoric, his policies in his overturning roe v. Wade assures that they will still be thinking about abortion and very real ways. And since gallup started Polling Abortion attitudes in 1976 women have always felt the same way about abortion. They want legal abortion with restrictions. Thats been like a fixed straight line. So he can keep pretending that this problem is solved in over. Thats just not the case. The problem is Donald Trump has a 21 Point Gender Gap with women. Harris is beating him by over 20 points with women. His campaign knows that this sort of desperate attempt to throw spaghetti at the wall. So youre going to be happy, youre going to be healthier, going to be rich, youre going to be successful, youre going to love your Life And Abortion is just not going to be a problem anymore. This is just sort of a desperate way of pacifying was waging these women who are undecided and turned off not to be i dont think its working is it type of thing that might keep them home or is it the type of guy might push them toward harris because that may be the issue with these undecided voters. Yeah. And were were still watching these voters very carefully and were not seeing the movement toward harris. Were not seeing it toward Trump Rfk is endorsement of trump, didnt move them either over either. So were still watching to see what impact that has. And if they just decide to throw up their hands, im not interested in this election anymore. Or maybe Kamala Harris starts giving them some reasons to move into her camp it opens up the possibility for some kind of late 1980 like break where everyone all at once, the last week, but who knows, who knows. Alright. Se cupp. Thank you very much. Sorry, a Textbook Touchdown in this yeah.

And this is cnn officials say at least 100 people have been killed in israeli airstrikes in lebanon he is really military, is amping up its airstrikes on hezbollah targets across the country. Lets get right to cnn military analyst, retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling general, great to see you. I can give you a sense of the scope of this Air Campaign. Every die here is somewhere that israel has hit in the last couple of days. Its interesting because this follows the attack on the explosive pagers and walkietalkies. Were showing you right here how do you think general that this attack has impacted or influenced this Air Campaign that were seeing right now good morning, john. Hey, this is exactly the key point that the attack on the beepers, the walkie walkietalkies causes Communications Breakdown within hezbollah. Once any Terrorist Group has a communication breakdown, they start scrambling. They try and find new ways to communicate and when they do that, they open them up up, open themselves up for operational security requirements and problems so the chatter thats going on within hezbollah after theyve lost some of their main main ways to communicate has caused israel to pick up more intelligence in terms of what theyre doing because they become more open sorts so there were 150 strikes the day after those the walkietalkies were hit. That tells me because ive done this in combat myself, that there was a lot of movement by hezbollah forces, a lot of attempts to use couriers and other methods of communications. So that opens them up for Signals Intelligence and for israel throughout the strike, the day after the walkietalkies were hit, there were over 150 Fighter Jets. Israeli Fighter Jets in the area striking multiple targets. They found some areas where Cruise Missiles were being launched from inside of houses in lebanon. And they had taken those houses and destroyed to them with air attacks, 150 jets in areas of the Gaza And Lebanon and also operate in, in judea and some area to strike those targets where Hezbollah Terrorist and others are communicating so you hear something or see something in one of these sites. Here. And then you strike it from the air. I mean, i could put it donald and every one of them here general one thing is again, as we look at this map here, most of the locations that are hit are in Southern Lebanon here. One area that has not been hit extensively, of course it did happen last week, the targeted attack in south beirut, no widespread attacks around beirut. Do you think that will last or do you think . It israel will target hezbollah is in ensconced in certain neighborhoods around beirut where tens and tens of thousands of people live yeah, this is the Headquarters John and the other thing that youre talking about with those dots youve placed in terms of where israel hits coincidentally correspond to where missiles are being launched from. And they have, they strike targets where they get intelligence. But the strikes inside of beirut, like The One last week against the radwan Force Meeting with ibrahim aqil, which killed allegedly about 36 terrorists leaders, tells me that thats their headquarters. And again, i go back to the peacock communication, the frontline forces shooting the missile, shooting, the artillery, shooting the rockets are talking to those leaders that are stationed in beirut. So once you get the Communication Linkage and the Signals Intelligence gives you a location of the leaders of the rawan force. Then you can strike them. And thats what israel has been doing as more intelligence starts coming into their headquarters in one of the things we have not seen yet, and hezbollah has been shooting rockets in the like over into israel. Some that have hit here around high for the biggest city in the north but we havent seen hezbollah unleash the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and thousands of missiles theyve amassed over the last decades or The Ones with the new Technology Weve been hearing about so much why not . Well, first lets talk about the haifa strike. Those were missiles that are extended range missiles. They can go a lot farther than most of what hezbollah uses to strike in the area just South Of The Border but they hadnt youre right. They havent used the hundreds of thousands of missiles. And i think theyre waiting for a cue from iran they have been told standby, if israel does more things against iran, then i think youre going to see hezbollah become very active. And that some of the preemptive strikes by Israel Inside of the lebanese touri, striking against some of the rockets that are being set up especially some of those Cruise Missiles, which i talked about earlier retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, always great to speak with you. Thanks so much for being with us this morning. Sara. Bit later this morning, the cofounder of oceangate will testify about the submersible that imploded on the way to the titanic wreckage. Last year, fy if people were killed in that vessel, a Coast Guard Panel is in the middle of a Twoweek Hearing to investigate what happened earlier. Testimony portrayed the company has prioritized rising profits over Science And Safety rock johnson, trying to give traumatized students from apalachee High School some joy. Those students greetings endured, as you know, a deadly School Shooting that killed two students and two teachers earlier this month in georgia, the rod was in the Atlanta Area Area working on a project. So he met them on a salary im states and shared photos and video and instagram, one of the post said, sometimes one of the best paths to beginning the Healing Journey is through our smiles, laughter, and joy alright. Speaking of smiles, laughter, and joy, meat, pesto. Look at that big boy, the adorable king ben, when check who is Making Waves at an aquarium in australia at just nine months old, hes already fifth the pounds. This little guy has outgrown his parents. The average sides, by the way, of a king penguin, 37 pounds. Photos of pesto hovering over his parents have gone viral eats about 30 fish a Day Way more than the typical adult penguin so do or dont have enough ways to communicate, never feared there are more emojis on the way. Theres an exhausted face, a fingerprint, a purple splatter, a route veggie, a Bear Tree a harp shovel, and a flag for a remote island in the English Channel called sarak island. The tired face was voted most anticipated emoji. There is actually a nonprofit group that oversees emojis and must approve new ones. Now that these have the ceiling approval, you should start seeing them over the next few months. What do you do with the heart oh, youre harping, not stop harping on this issue. I dont theres a lot of things theres a nonprofit group that emojis i mean, its i think you should investigate or maybe we wont just have to be better things to look emoji monitoring, internet actually, no code of a court of emojis. Theres other things happening in the world that might be more important. I agree, john, i feel safer though, because pretty moments ago, a Nasa Astronaut landed safely on earth after more than six months aboard the international Space Station it team touched down in a remote area of Kazakhstan Right on the money. A Textbook Touchdown on the step of kazakhstan. Tracy dyson as home after 184 days in Space Khalid Kononenko and nikolai chub, our home after a 374 days in space, a record for an international Space Station mission i mean you can hear the excitement in the Announcers Voice right there. It feels like the 13th all masters or something. Cnns Tom Foreman joins us now with how she got home and the mission yeah it, was it was a look at the numbers. The numbers are really astonishing here 184 days up in space. 2,900 orbits and 78 Million miles. Thats a lot of travel now, interestingly enough, Ola Economy an ankle, the commander who was with her there from russia he was up he holds the record now for the most days in space, one all alltime record. He was up for more than a year this time around anyway, she did a lot of great work if there about six months easier way to think about it as you did a research into Stem Cell Research the 3d Printing of heart tissues, operating robots on earth from space. And Fire Safety in microgravity among many other things. This really was a great flight for her and what she said all along the hardest part in all of this time away from her family, which i can well imagine astronauts go through a lot of that Henri Ad is a long time thats a long time to be a way thats a long time to be a way its, its yeah, yeah. We know a little bit about that because you our jobs take us away a pretty good bit, but nothing like that. Not usually. Did you know that there was a nonprofit that oversees emojis . Tom foreman
