Helene batters the southeast after slamming into florida with hurricane force, more powerful than the region has ever seen. Were tracking the storm and the danger plus, as donald Trump And Kamala harris hold dueling Battleground State events tonight, cnn has exclusive new polling on the president ial race in 20 pivotal locations. That could be the deciders on Election Day Welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around The World. Im Wolf Blitzer. Youre in the Situation Room the skis, cnn Breaking News, Harlots Good right to the Breaking News in the Middle East, a senior israeli official says, its too early to say if hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the strike on the group central headquarters. Cnns Jomana Karadsheh is joining us live from beirut right now. Jomana, what do we know about that strike. And the ongoing israeli attacks on beirut . Well, you know, well, for about seven hours ago, this entire city was rocked by these blasts. We were on the roof of this building and we felt the building shake. It was some of the largest explosions i have ever witnessed and speaking to colleagues who have been in lebanon have covered lebanon for years. They say that they n strikes like this in beirut in may many, many years, saying that the last time that they felt large explosions like that was during the 2006, israel has below war. What we do know oh from a an israeli senior official telling our colleague jeremy diamond, was that the target of that strike was Hassan Nasrallah, the leader . Sure of hezbollah and the israeli military has not officially said that he was the target of that strike in beiruts Southern Suburbs where hezbollah is known to have a presence there. They have said that they have that they targeted with precise strikes as they described it, the main headquarters of his its belong weve heard from the israeli military saying that he is going to take time for them to reach that post, strike assessment. But here we have not heard yet from hezbollah know official statements, no comment. Our colleagues have been trying to reach out to their hezbollah sources, but nothing yet very unclear at this moment. Whether has on the nasrallah was indeed in that building whether what his fate is right now what we do know from lebanese authorities is that six buildings were reduced to Rubble Wolf according to the health ministry, weve just received updated Casualty Figures. They say that at least six people are confirmed killed and at least 91 others have been injured. But they are cautioning that this is a Casualty Figure that is going to rise. If you look at the images of the aftermath, looking at the crater according to analysis of that crater and the blast that took place it is believed that 2000 Pound Bombs were used in these strikes. So were talking about one of the most densely pop related areas in this entire country so the Death Toll is almost certainly going to rise in the coming hours. And since then, we have heard from the israeli military issuing about just under two hours ago, issuing Evacuation Orders through a post on tweet by the idfs arabic Language Spokesman telling residents around three buildings in the Southern Suburbs of beirut, telling them to evacuate these areas and a 500 Meter Radius around these buildings saying that the israeli military is going to be striking those buildings, that they are close to hezbollah facilities and that they need to get out of there and a short time ago, we heard from the israeli military saying that they have begun conducting strikes on these buildings. We have to wait in, hear more of what we heard from the Israeli Military Spokesman Rear Admiral hagari. He says but they are targeting what they say is missiles that are stored underneath these buildings. I can tell you this city and this entire country right now is on knifes edge wolf, im Jomana Karadsheh in beirut. Stay safe. Thank you very much. Israels new attack in beirut is putting additional strain on this relationship with the united states as well cnns Alex Marquardt is joining us right now. Hes over at the united nations. So what is the u. S. Saying about this . Alex . Well, wolf, a top Biden Ministration officials are really trying to distance themselves from this strike saying that they had no advanced knowledge, no participation in this in fact, the Secretary Tara Defense Lloyd Austin said that he learned about this from his counterpart, Yoav Golan to as the operation was taking place. And tonight, wolf, we are hearing more warnings about what this could mean. For the region from those us officials. Heres what Secretary State Antony Blinken had to say earlier today you events of the past week and the past few hours underscore what a precarious moment this is the Middle East. And for the World Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorism the way it does. So matters the choices that all parties make in the coming days will determine which path this region is on and after the White House had put a Ceasefire Proposal between Israel And Hezbollah on the table for 21 days of pause, which netanyahu appeared to immediately rejected the idf would continue fighting with full force night. We got a bit more of an explanation from a senior israeli official who called this an honest misunderstanding. They claim you israeli side claims that they wanted more, had more questions about this process while the u. S. Wants to see this ceasefire implemented immediately. And that was too soon for israel what else are you hearing from that senior israeli official, alex about disrupt was fake . Are still a lot of questions and theyre still trying to figure out what exactly happened. They said that it was a very tough call to decide to target hamas, Hassan Nasrallah. They were going after him. And senior hezbollah commanders now, if Indeed Nasrallah is killed, this senior official said that would mean that more than half of the hezbollah leadership has been recently taken out by israel and could represent a real pivot in this conflict because they say nasrallah is irreplaceable. Now, highlighting the seriousness of this situation, we understand the prime Minister Netanyahu is on his way back to israel tonight. Hes cutting his trip short. It is rare that he travels on shabbat, but he does feel the need to get back to israel will im sure he does are at Alex Marquardt at the united nations. Thanks very much. Now to my exclusive Oneonone Interview with the u. S Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. We spoke earlier today about but israels offensive against hezbollah and the threat of a wider war in the Middle East mr. Secretary, thanks so much for joining, especially during these very, very busy times. As you know, israel is vowing to press on with its assault on hezbollah in lebanon, despite the u. S. Push for a ceasefire how likely do you think an israeli Ground Invasion of lebanon is . Well will prime minister has been clear that his goal is to get israeli civilians who has been who have been displaced from their homes in the north back to their homes as soon as possible i believe we believe the best way to do that is through diplomacy. And thats why youve seen president biden lead the effort to get a ceasefire 21 day ceasefire, so that diplomacy can take place so we would hope that we dont see a Ground Incursion because if that happens, there is a chance that the conflict could broaden into what could be a regional conflict so again, we think the best, the best solution going forward is a diplomatic solution. When you say a conflict could broaden, you concern that iran, which is an ally of hezbollah, would get involved. Is that what youre suggesting yes. Wolf there is that possibility and theres also the possibility that we could see greater activity from from other groups like the houthis or the Uraki Shia Militia groups and so we want to see this i want to see the tensions taken down and we want to see things resolved diplomatically, if possible. As you know, certainly believe its possible what are the implications do you think of an allout war between Israel And Hezbollah in lebanon . I asked the question because the u. S. Has already sent started sending additional troops and equipment to the region. What would be the extent of us support for israel . And thats it. Scenario wolf, in All Out War between lebanese, Hezbollah And Israel would be devastating for both lebanon and israel. And again, we, we anticipate that wed see a number of people displaced casualties that weve seen in gaza so again, the best way forward in our view is a diplomatic effort, diplomatic solution and thats why youre seeing so many countries, the leaders of so many countries i come forward and say, we need to work together to ensure that we get an immediate ceasefire for at least 21 days allow that diplomacy to take place and from there, we can hopefully get the citizens back to the israeli citizens, back to their homes in the north and also, we would perhaps see an opening to get a ceasefire in gaza and a return of the hostages, which we very much want to see im gonna get to gaza at the moment, but whats the point now of deploying additional troops and us equipment to the region over there Well Wolf as you, as you know, i already have a lot of Combat Power in the region of course, we our a Planning Organization we planned for all contingencies and well be ready for any contingencies, any event that that we have to address one of a number of contingencies. We will have the right, right. Assets and people in place to be able to do that. Lets talk about gaza. I want to get to that its obviously a critically important issue right now. Israel, as you probably know, struck a school sheltering displaced palestinians yesterday. They say it was a Hamas Target but women and children were killed and analysis shows that israel used a u. S. Made bomb in that strike when these strikes are a regular occurrence and the Death Toll is now in gaza, were told by a, by gaza officials more than 41,000 how can you say israel is using weapons in accordance . With International Law . Well, again the israelis are professional force in they do have policies and procedures that that are the right policies and procedures. But again, youve heard me say a number of time times wolf the Death Toll has number of Civilian Casualties has been far too high we would like to see things like to see them do things in a different way and ill continue to press that issue every time i talk to my Counterpart Minister gallant and you probably know that i talked to him at least every weekend, sometimes a couple of times a week. And you think youre on the same page with him or is there a conflict there and your conversations with him theres not conflict. Wolf but again, i continue to believe that the civilian Casualty Rate is too high in things can be done a bit differently in terms of their approach. This month alone, mr. Secretary, israel has struck at least ten School Shelters were talking about in gaza. It struck the designated Safe Zone of Al Mawasi and dear three Polio Vaccination centers. Theres that Pattern Amount from your perspective to a violation of International Law . Well, if i think we have to remember whats happening here, hamas deliberately uses civilians as shields. It places its headquarters and its its logistical sites underneath schools and hospitals you name it. Again. It has done that from the very beginning, continues to do that and thats what makes this very difficult situation even more difficult upon hamas to cease in that type of activity. And i believe if they do, then well different outcome in terms of the types of Civilian Casualties that weve seen. As you know, israel now says it has just secured an additional 8. 7 billion dollar military Aid Package from the united states does it concern you that despite this unwavering us support, prime Minister Netanyahu undermine the Gaza Ceasefire talks and is ignoring us calls to deescalate right now with hezbollah in lebanon well if were going to continue to work with their diplomats, were going to continue to work with their leadership to do everything we can to get a ceasefire so that diplomacy can take Place And Weve been clear from the very beginning that were going to support israel in its efforts to defend itself weve done that from the very beginning and were going to continue to do that going forward later this hour. Well have more of my exclusive interview with the Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin standby for that but first, the live pictures right now out of arizona Hes Price President Kamala Harris at the u. S. Border with mexico during your first trip there since becoming the democratic president ial nominee, can she close the gap with Donald Trump on this key issue, driving his campaign .

And let you decide who comes in and who stays out. Vice president Kamala Harris is in arizona, making her first trip to the Southern Border with mexico since becoming the democratic president ial nominee. Lets bring in cnns Priscilla Alvarez shes traveling with the Vice President in douglas, arizona right now. So priscilla, what is the Vice President trying to do with this trip well, sources tell me that her advisers want to close the gap with former president Donald Trump. What theyve seen in polling is that the former president s lead on the issue is eroding since the Vice President became the lead of the partys ticket. And so they want to close that further. Now the way theyre going to do that though, is notable. Im told hold by senior Campaign Official that the Vice President is not only going to embrace president joe bidens asylum crackdown, something we saw over the summer, but go further, right . Trying to make it harder to lift those border restrictions, restrictions, wolf, that largely barring migrants from seeking asylum at the us Southern Border if they crossed unlawfully this is significant because what it tells us that the Vice President and her campaigns messaging moving forward is going to be that they want a tougher stance on to the u. S. Mexico border and on Border Security specifically, now, the Vice President has been needling former president Donald Trump on that bipartisan Border Measure that he and republicans tanked earlier. This and we anticipate that she will say, quote, The American people deserve a president who greers more about Border Security than playing political games. Thats an excerpt from what we expect to hear from her later this afternoon, and thats going to be the through line in addition to her walking through some of our border plants like getting more resources to border agents and more technology to detect fentanyl. But of course wolf, shes doing this in arizona. Arizona is a Battleground State, one or former president Donald Trump has a lead they are trying to not only close the gap on the issue, but also close the gap with the former president. They are also releasing a new Ad Today on Border Security. Also citing her work as california attorney general, a border state, which is going to air here, as well as in other Battleground States. So taken together will, if you can see a strategy coming together whats the Vice President trying to go on the offensive and turn what has been a political vulnerability for democrats on its head, wolf. All right, priscilla, were showing our viewers by the way, of Life Pictures of the Vice President along the border with mexico in douglas, arizona, right now. Very, very important visit she is making to the border with mexico Priscilla Alvarez. Thank you very much. I want to get an update right now on former President Trump and his Meeting Today with the visiting ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. Cnns Kristen Holmes is on the Campaign Trail with the Trump Campaign in warren, michigan for us, this and what do we know . First of all, about this meeting . Just a reminder that this meeting almost didnt happen. In fact, earlier this week, i was told by senior advisers that it wasnt happening. Donald trump lashed out at the Link Golinski is accusing him of making nasty little aspersions. Those were his words towards Donald Trump that campaign was attacking zelenskyy for comments that he made in pennsylvania, say that j. D. Vance was too radical. But after zelenskyy reached out through intermediaries, they turn the page. They had this meeting and i was told by sources that this it was really a meeting for zelenskyy to lay out his case and that he also reminded Donald Trump that theyve got a law when both of them were in office when Donald Trump was in office, i will say it is still very unclear what Donald Trump would do to end the war in ukraine, or even with aid to ukraine if he were to be reelected. Heres what he said. And after that meeting was the landscape we have a very good relationship and i also have a very good relationship, as you know, with president putin. And i think when i think were going to get it it was all very quickly very worried. I really think were going to get more votes or nations, were going know, it takes two to tango i think that we can work at something thats good for both sides. Its time really gone any further than saying we would get it resolved very quickly, so no answers on that. But of course, as you mentioned we are here in michigan. Another critical Battleground State you could tell how important this date is because Donald Trump has been doing a series of events here over the last several weeks, we expect him to visit the state again and next week, one of these states with a very thin Margin And One that the Trump Camp believes is one that will help Donald Trump get to the White House in November 1 thing we expect him to bring up during this Town Hall is Kamala Harriss visit to the border. His team has been slamming her visit for the last several days just to reminder that one of the things that they believe the Donald Trump could win on in november is the issue of immigration. They do not want Kamala Harris to be able to go on the offensive. They want to keep her on the defense of course, well see what happens after this visit. Wolf or Kristen Holmes in warren, michigan for us, kristen, thanks very much. I want to bring in our political commentators Se Cupp and Maria Cardona se, there was obvious tension in this meeting. Trump emphasized his socalled good relationship with Vladimir Putin, even as he stood next to president zelensky. Whats your takeaway from that well, that one line really said a lot to me about what Donald Trump thinks and knows about this geopolitical controversy and complicated issue that deserves more than just. It takes two to tango i thought that was really sort of unfortunate thing to say to turn this disaster, this illegal invasion of a sovereign nation thats resulted in the deaths of 35,000 ukrainians into like a deal that he would do and takes two to tango. It was insensitive. I think it was ignorant. But listen, as kristen just noted, he has never been able to say what he would do about ukraine. He would just say ill do a deal and i have a great relationship with putin. I think that really relationship with Vladimir Putin is much more important to him than actually solving this crisis and learning what it would take to do that to say that next to zelenskyy was pretty awkward, i must say indeed, maria, i want to get your reaction to what Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told me earlier. Today about this relationship . Watch it. Listen to this. Thank you very much. This week, as you know, mr. Secretary, the former president Donald Trump and his republican allies ratcheted up their personal criticism of President Zelenskyy as us support for this war been irreversibly politicized right now. Well, i, i wont speculate on that wolf what i would tell you, what our focus is, what my focus is and that is providing continuing to provide everything that we can to ensure that ukraine ukraine can be successful and you just heard president biden yesterday announced a significant amount and of Security Assistance that were providing to ukraine and in that it included some some new capability that we hadnt provided in the past so focus will remain on making sure that were given ukraine everything that we can provide that will prove effective in this fight. Maria what, do you make of that well, if it doesnt surprise me that he didnt want to get into the political nature, which was what you asked him, but it was important for him to underscore the unwavering commitment of the united states to continue to provide funds and resources to ukraine to be able so that they can be able to continue to defend themselves because what Donald Trump said in the clip that you just showed was just completely embarrassing. It was in competency it just showed just how unserious Donald Trump is as a leader on the World Stage Age and you can imagine what zelenskyy heard when Donald Trump said, were going to figure out something here that is good for both sides. That means that if Donald Trump does win, i think the politics in this will be irreversible. Wolf and ukraine will look nothing like what it looked its like today. Donald trump will hand over part or perhaps even all of ukraine to putin on a silver platter. And we cannot let that happen. Alright, se, as you know, Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting the Southern Border with mexico for the first time. Now, as the democratic president ial nominee is this the right move or does it just draw more attention to a political vulnerability for her . Yeah. This is a tricky issue for her and issues if she does, shes if she doesnt if she didnt go that say she didnt even go to the border, see how on seriously, she takes it. Shes going now, so theres the circular argument will why didnt you go earlier . You know, folks are saying this was all bidens policies than democrats will say. But when we tried to fix it, republicans said no its a circular argument that never ends and it will never end. But i can tell you its not appealing to undecided voters in the Swing States who are not here for the fingerpointing and the blame game, they just want solutions so for the the voters for whom an immigration is a top number one issue, shes not reaching them. They dont trust they dont trust biden. But for the voters for whom immigration is a softer issue may be a top five issue. I think she can buy talking to the middle a little bit by giving specifics on what she would do by calling for more resources, by saying that it will be harder to lift those restrictions on the border. That is enough, i think for some undecided independent voters. Again, for whom dont all ready have an immigration like hard line stance. Two essays, point maria, listen to trumps slamming Kamala Harriss trip to the Border Listen and watch this why would she go to the border now, playing right into the hand of her opponent, she keeps talking about how she supposedly wants to fix the border we would merely ask why didnt she do it four years ago some maria, how do you respond to that i think i would respond to that. And what she will say is Crossings Today Wolf undocumented Crossings Today at the border are lower than they were when Donald Trump left office. So she has already put in solutions. She has already focused on solving the issue because you know what Donald Trump and j. D. Vance and the maga Republicans Cant have it both ways they Cant Scream with their hair on fire, that the border is a huge problem. And then turn their back on the toughest Border Security bill that weve ever had. That was negotiated in a bipartisan way simply because Donald Trump wanted to weaponize the issue and use it as a political pawn. So the vp will underscore that and she will expose how unserious they are, what charlatans they are. And shes the one who will offer real solutions that americans want i see Kamala Harris, his Border Visit Today comes as a new Cnn Poll of North Carolina shows a tied race in this key Battleground State. This is clearly a Mustwin State for trump. Whats your reaction . I talked to democrats. They are so hungry to win this state again, they havent since 2008, they can almost taste it and they are closing what used to be a Tenpoint Gap they are now effectively tied. So its within reach Se Cupp and Maria Cardona to both of you. Thank you very much for coming in, coming up historic power and destruction. Were going to take you to some of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Helene and show you where the storm is endangering lives right now on the edge, Sunday At Nine and cnn.

Our senior justice correspondent, evan perez, is joining us right now. Evan, what more are you learning . Well wolf, according to prosecutors, this is a years long campaign that as you pointed out, was targeting the Trump Campaign among the things that they did was use fishing operations. To impersonate people and get access to the Trump Campaign. They managed to get documents including Vice President ial Nominee Vetting Information and they also got Debate Prep Material just hours before the June 27 debate, they managed to send these Debate Materials to someone associated with the dent. What was then the joe Biden Campaign. Now, ill read you just part of what this email that was sent if someone associated with the Biden Campaign it says, i hate trump. Im going to pass the materials along to you that would be useful to defeat him. Below is the final prep for the first debate tonight. Read and be strong and ready for tonight.
