Welcome everyone. Im Michael Holmes. Appreciate your company coming up here on Cnn Newsroom, israels Widening War Airstrikes it. Lebanons capital as israeli attacks killed hundreds and displaced thousands across the country dozens dead over 1,000 missing many more without power food, or water. The u. S. Southeast is left reeling from the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene two years ago today, Vladimir Putin signed the Accession Treaties formalizing its illegal next question of ukrainian land. A look at Russias Campaign in Eastern Ukraine as the war shows, no signs of slowing atlanta Cnn Newsroom with Michael Holmes the Israeli Military has conducted Air Airstrikes in the city of beirut. The first inside the Capital City limits since the start of Israels War with hezbollah showing the damage from an attack me, beiruts cola bridge, a major intersection. Cnn has reached out to the Israeli Military for comment. This following an intense barrage of strikes in lebanon that began about a week ago lebanons Health Ministry says the attacks on sunday alone killed more than 100 people and wounded more than 300 jordan, 50 others. The toll from the start of the campaign over 1,000. Meanwhile, israel confirms it also carried out airstrikes more than 2000 kilometers away in yemen on sunday. This video showing the aftermath of a strike on a Power Station houthi Run Television saying at least four people were killed the old and 45 others wounded Israels Defense Minister saying the strikes in yemen show that for israel, quote, no place is too far cnns Paula Hancocks live in Abu Dhabi for us with more on all of this a polar israeli attacks now inside the beirut City Limits bring us up to date on whats been happening well, michael, its certainly feels like a stepup in the capabilities and what israel is trying to achieve at this point over recent days, we have seen strikes in the southern suburbs of beirut. And this is a hezbollah stronghold. Weve seen a number of hezbollah commanders being taught ill get it including of course, hassan nasrallah, the head of hezbollah. But this is within the City Limits. So this is something different that were seeing now its near, as you say, near the cola intersection, a very busy main intersection within the city itself. And from the images that we can see, there was one the apartment appearing to be targeted. We saw firefighters fighting a blaze within that apartment in the early hours of monday morning. And you can see Debris And Chaos on the streets themselves. Now we have heard from a palestinian group, the pflp, the palestine front of for the popular the front for the palace, the liberation of palestine they say that three of their members were killed when an apartment in this area was targeted. So what were seeing now, of course, is a concern in beirut that the reach of israel is, is reaching further to the Senate Control areas and bear in mind, you have Hundreds Of Thousands of displaced civilians that are in these areas as well according to relief international, one of the humanitarian aid groups they say about 1 Million people are displaced at this point we saw a Mass Exodus from Southern Lebanon, where much of the activity has been taking place. Many of these israeli Air Strikes have been targeting coming up to the capitol in the hope that that would be a safer area. Michael all right. Paula hancocks live in Abu Dhabi. Appreciate it. Thanks, Paula Director of the Military And SecurityStudies Program at the washington institute. He joins me now from washington and thanks for doing so. How how does those Rallies Death along with the other hits on his balah there . Crippling of hamas in gaza, the assassination of a Hamas LeaderIsmail Haniyeh in tehran. How does all of this week in irans reach or influence regionally is humiliating for them this is a disaster for tehran. Their preferred way of war is to operate through proxies and his bullet was always the diamond in their crown. And it played a major role both in their struggle against israel and their efforts to create what they call the axis of resistance in the region the his below was a key Facilitator Trainer and exemplar for all these other organizations. And the fact that his bullet now is on the ropes. Theyve suffered grievous grievous losses in the current war against israel this will, this is a setback that may take many years, if not et, decades to recover from Ayatollah Khomeini says that azrallah is blood will not go and avenged. He didnt mention importantly, i think iran doing the avenging, how will around next moves, how will it be weighing its next moves . And alons would look if they do nothing yeah, its going to be very difficult for them to do nothing. On the other hand, look you can go through a whole list of an times in which in the past Theyve Abandoned Allies to their fate in 1991 after the gulf war, when the shiites interacted rose up, they didnt intervene in afghanistan in 1997 when the hazara, is were massacred by the taliban, they didnt do anything except to help some proxies there i mean, lebanon in 2006, they didnt intervene in likewise in bahrain in 2011 when there was an uprising that was put down of largely shiite that was put down by the government from it. There. They didnt intervene in the past. Theyve, theyve left shiite communities to their fate this, this will be very difficult to them for them though, to step back from. And we did see an april. They did respond to the killing of two of their generals in damascus with a large missile and drone strike. Its possible to try it again, but look, the americans, now were having a second carrier coming to the region. And theyre during a very vulnerable place that their main proxies for prosecuting a conflict with israel or the united states are on the road. I think theyll probably be very careful going forward. Right. You mentioned the u. S. And where we are they in all of this in terms of influence . The americans have called for and proposed ceasefires. Theyve called for Restraint Deescalation either netanyahu effectively ignores the u. S or perhaps could the u. S. Be saying one thing publicly, but under the table, be getting the nod to israel to continue i suspect the administration is divided on this issue, but i think the president on the one hand, he sends signals that he would like to deescalate. And this is a constant theme in this administration. On the other hand, they are providing the arms that are necessary for israel in order to achieve its own goals, which also serve american interests so i also keep in mind this is the electionseason. And the Democratic Party is divided on this issue. So the president has to take a Public Posture of advising coercion and trying to achieve ceasefires. Although let me just mentioned, it takes to have a ceasefire i mean theres no indication that theres a willingness. On the other side to do so at this point, the israelis have what they consider to be a once, perhaps in a lifetime opportunity to land Death Blows to his villa to do, to do something they wanted to do for years. In fact, i think that a couple of minutes left, but i wanted to ask you about the jordanian foreign yes, i had strong words at the un after israel said it was surrounded by enemies, he said aerobe nations guaranteed Israels Security in exchange for a Twostate Solution for palestinians. But israel is the one killing the chances of peace and that they had no plan, no, that was his word. What do you think israel . Those Netanyahus Plan is long term well, i think his main focus is on dealing with iran, which has a nuclear program that is making progress, right now. Hes dealing with Iran Army of proxies and very effectively, i should mention, let me just say also, with regard to the jordanians their security and their survival is bound up in your Security And Survival of israel. No matter what the jordanian Foreign Ministry says, publicly and the iranians have been trying to undermine and subvert jordan and use it as a base of operations in the west bank. And the israelis in the jordanians operate very, very well and very closely under the table quietly on this issue. And so theres a Public Posture, but theres also the reality on the ground. Yeah, exactly. Fascinating. Great to speak with you, michael eizenstat. Thank you thank you. Benjamin netanyahu, adding a former rival, do his cabinet. Gideon saar, will become a minister without appointment. Analysts say netanyahu is bringing on the veteran rightwing politician to shore up his base and to protect his government from Ultra Orthodox opposition before israels escalation lebanon, netanyahu had intended to replace Defense MinisterYoav Galant and Gibbs Saw that position signed says that he would have been qualified for it despite his lack of national Security Experience but now says he will not take the post. Netanyahu explained why he chose to appoint a former adverse three so it will also show you but now its no secret that there were differences between us in the past. But since october 7, we both put behind us all that has happened. Thats what happened when Gideon Saar joined the government in october. And thats how it is going to be when good ian is returning to the government and the Security Cabinet today, we will work together shoulder to shoulder, and i intend to use his help in the forums that influenced the conduct of the war us president Joe Biden plans to visit communities devastated by Hurricane Helene this week at least 95 people are dead after high winds, torrential Rain And Flash flooding ripped through the southeastern us. Even more are missing or unaccounted forward largely due to breakdowns in communication john, groups like the Florida National Guard are working quickly to rescue residents and animals alike and obeyed more than 300 rescues so far. The most pressing concern for residents in cities like asheville, North Carolina is defined dwindling supplies catastrophic flooding is still a major issue there with much of the city completely swarmed. One Community Director became emotional telling cnn about the toll the storm has taken them this is the most devastating thing ive ever seen her whole city think the loss of lives dog, but if you dont have cash, you cant get anything. Weve gone to stores, waters out, isis out people slept overnight at Gas Stations like i feel like weve never seen this before and i know that we dont really, truly know the numbers of the loss of life here. Its been devastating Cnns Rafael Romo is in North Carolina with more on the destruction wrought by Helene Buncombe County officials announced the Sad News On Sunday saying that at least 30 people have died in this county alone, which means that the figure at the State Level is now 36 and a fifth officials say that in the southeast states that were hit by the hurricane and the subsequent storm are now more than 90. And what we have seen in asheville here where we are is a many streets like this one behind me covered in mud. Theres debris everywhere and people trying to cope because its been very difficult for officials to deliver the aid that is badly needed by people. Governor Roy Cooper from North Carolina said that theyre trying to get to those communities not only here, but communities in the mountains around here some of them are inaccessible because the roads are impassable. And one alternative, and this is what the governor is, says that theyve been doing is air lifting water, and food and basic necessities to those people. And so they have developed a system by which they bring all the supplies here and from here, they distribute those things. Hanks now, we have been talking to people here that tell us that for the time being there. Okay. But as time goes on, is going to be more and more difficult to find food. There are many Gas Stations, theres one right next to where we are that are not operational. There are others that are running of fuel. And many people desperate going to different places at tried to get the feel and the reality is that these people, its going to take a while to get running water officials say that theyre trying their best to bring the Water System back up and running, but they were trying to fix water main breaks before they can stabilize the pressure. The Water Pressure in the system, and then the third step would be to actually turn the system back on. Also, power remains a problem for most of the population and we have learned that at least two Cell Phone carriers are bringing Satellite Trucks that are were going to provide relief because people are enabled to communicate with Loved Ones who live in other parts of the country and other states to let them know that theyre okay. Just to give you an idea the governor said that more than 1,000 reports of missing people thats what authorities have received in the last few days. Blown rafael romo, cnn, asheville, North Carolina while some North Carolina residents have complained about the local government response, the states governor, Roy Cooper told cnns kaitlan collins, and concern is helping those in need our number one priority right now is getting people out and getting supplies in. There are Search And Rescue teams from 19 states from the federal government, from our national guard from our state and local teams who are out there rescuing and people as we speak. The biggest problem is getting to them because more than 200 at roads are closed many counties and areas where people are landlocked Cell Phones, and Internet Service is down so we know there are a lot of families and friends that are worried about people and there have been about 1,000 requests for that doubt to 11 to report. If you are looking for someone but weve been pushing the Cell Phone companies and theyve been working very hard. Weve been finding ways to help them get in to get Cell Phone service backup. That is beginning to make progress in coming back. The more of a Cell Phones come back, the more we will know where people are and what the situation is. The same with power in the meantime, Food And Water is critical because people are cut off and its very difficult if not impossible, to get trucks into some of these places. So were having to do it by air. There is a massive effort underway to coordinate and make sure were getting supplies and water to people because light its a Life And Death situation here the governor acknowledged the Death Toll could rise further with Rescue Operations still ongoing from the us president ial election and democratic president ial nominee Kamala Harris, is trying to strengthen support among latino voters in the state of nevada the visit comes on the heels of new polling from Nbc News telemundo, and cnbc of registered latino voters showing harris ahead of former us president Donald Trump. Cnns priscilla alvarez, with more from Las VegasVice PresidentKamala Harris, making a stop in the critical Swing State of nevada now, in her remarks at her rally, helene today, she spoke about the two different visions that she presents compared to that of her republican rival, Donald Trump. Now, she has been trying to shore up support among lets he know, its a Growing Electorate and one where she has a lead over her republican rival, trump. But also one where when the numbers are broken down, she has an advantage with Women Panic women, but it is even with hispanic men to the Vice President tweaking her message here and nevada to also speak to latino voters growing through his use its like the economies where she mentioned latino Small Business owners also housing, affordability, health care, and immigration especially underscoring and approach that is both Border Security and comprehensive immigration reform. And also talking about reproductive rights. The Vice President , when she was concluded, her remarks also im talking about early voting and mobilizing voters to make sure that they get their ballots in a soon as they can. Now, the Vice President also, looking ahead this week to the Vice President ial debate with her Vice President ial nominee, tim walz, as well as j. D. Vance. And there she said, quote, there for debate should not be the last word again, Needling Former president Donald Trump to debate again, something that trump has not yet committed to the Vice President saying that she would cheer on who she calls Coach Walz so alvarez, cnn, Las Vegas during his pennsylvania rally, Donald Trump spent much of his time railing against the u. S. Vice president on immigration issues. Again, stoking fears about mind migrants, but he also took time to again, question Kamala Harriss mental state. Heres cnns Jeff Zeleny with more on that with five weeks to go in the president ial election and former president Donald Trump campaigned in pennsylvania on sunday, talking about a Return And Visit next week to butler, pennsylvania of worst that was the site of the Assassination Attempts earlier this summer that certainly changed him and the campaign he talked about that Assassination Attempt at a rally in erie on sunday afternoon, as he delivered an Excoriating Recitation of Kamala Harris talking very little about his dont policies, but repeatedly questioning her mental acuity, crooked Joe Biden became mentally impaired, said but lyon, Kamala Harris honestly, i believe she was born that way theres something wrong with kamala and i, just dont know what it is, but there is definitely something missing and you know what everybody knows it. Now, many republicans would prefer the former president focused on on the economy, focus on immigration, rather than personally going after Kamala Harris. That was not what Donald Trump did today. There is no question that the base of his party enjoys those types of attacks. The larger question is, what is the duper persuadable voters in the middle . Now, erie, pennsylvania is a fascinating place to campaign. Certainly one well be watching as the election goes forward. And indeed on election night, Barack Obama won this county twice in 2008 and 2012, Donald Trump carried it in 20 16. Joe biden won it in 2020. It is indeed a Swing County inside a battleground state. That is why Donald Trump was campaigning here on sunday theres. No doubt the Vice President ial debate is coming up on tuesday in new york. And then one month remains until the election Jeff Zeleny, cnn, erie, pennsylvania a Rooftop Fire at a Chemical Plant here in georgia has forced the evacuations and road closures officials say water from a faulty Sprinkler Head came in contact with a water reactive chemical causing what you see there, that massive plume of smoke crews managed to get the fire under control, but the smoke could be visible for miles and miles around the exact cause of the fire in the chemicals involved remain unknown still to come on the program, ukraines president says russias daily strikes are evidenced that kyiv needs to be able to use longrange weapons on russian targets well discuss how the u.

In ukraine. It followed a Sham Referendum in kherson, zaporizhzhia, luhansk and donetsk the announced by ukraine and much of the international community today, Moscow Still Controls parts of those regions and the war rages on along ukraines Eastern Front lines. And in the skies ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy says at least 14 people were injured sunday by a russian strike on a resident ensure building in Zaporizhzhia Mick Ryan is a retired Australian Army major general, also the former commander of the australian Defense College and author of the book, war transformed. He joins me from brisman, always good to see you, mick. The second anniversary of Putins Signing of these treaties formalizing the annexation of these regions illegally it was seen as a major escalation as that anniversary hits. How do you evaluate the battlefield, especially as the russian seemed to have momentum in the east yeah good i michael, its clear that putin is continuing to focus on these oblasts to ensure that whatever happens in the next six months or so, hes able to meet his minimalist objectives for this war, which is securing the donbass. Hes even issued largescale redeployment to curse to ensure he can take as much ground as possible in Eastern Ukraine. Yeah, that no decision yet from the biden administration on permission for ukraine to use those longer range weapons to hit targets deeper inside russian territory. How is that Impacting Momentum . How crucial is that permission as winter approaches well, it has a significant impact on several parts of the eastern battlefield. Firstly it means the Ukrainians Cant go deep into russia to destroy Year Field where the aircraft launch. These Glide Bombs and where they store these Glide Bombs from baier having a really decisive on the eighth. And it just means theyre not able to get in and destroy many other russian assets that would help the Ukrainians Winter does usually create a digging in a style might affect what, what do you see happening or not happening over those Winter Month . Well, certainly the russians appear to have stepped up their tempo in the last few months to try and grab as much territory as possible before the winter this year i expect that the tempo of the war will slow down as it has in the last couple of winters. It wont stop entirely, will continue to see russian attacks on ukraine will continue to see Battle On The Ground but it wont be at the same intensity that were currently seeing in the east or indeed in kursk yeah. Yeah. Weve been talking about this for two years. You and me with winder, of course, to comes november and the u. S. Presidential election. How worried would Volodymyr Zelenskyy be about Donald Trump who keeps saying he has a magical plan that is yet to outline to end the war. No doubt to russias advantage, how are worried was zelenskyy be about november well, i think itd be very worried, not just standing the meeting they had last week, which i think was very smart of zelenskyy to do. I think trumping that meetings indicated that he wants them to go appreciate a fair deal. I think there unfortunate word than an unfortunate mindset. Russia is the aggressor here. They dont deserve a fair deal yeah. Yeah. It gives it gives no detail. Of course, he never does. What was your take on Putins Announcement about changes in russias nuclear doctrine. I mean, as youve written those being a piece, you did it would in Essence Mean Russia might target nonnuclear nations who are supported by a nuclear armed country what is your take on that bluster or genuine threat, something to be worried about . Im not sure, this really changes. Russias nucleus stained seen any great way. What it really does is Damon Strike that continues to manipulate decisionmakers, particularly in washington, dc. He is being very good at this throughout the war, and hes ensured that for sum avoiding World War iii and a nuclear exchange is the preeminent name. Rather than helping ukraine win this is just more of that always great analysis from you, mick ryan, thanks so much good to see you thanks.

Now, were following the developments, of course, in the Middle East where israel continues to escalate attacks across the lebanon border. Israeli Air Strikes hitting within the City Limits of Beirut Sunday for the first time since israel those war with hamas began last year. Video showing the Chaos And Fear unfolding for lebanese civilians in the capital following the attack on monday morning. It comes after days of course, of intensifying strikes, which lebanese officials say killed more than 100 people on sunday alone and more than 1,000 since the strikes began, the World Food Program warning that Quote Lebanon is at a Breaking Point with 1 Million people displaced by israels attacks some families sleeping in the streets struggling to find food or plain water. Pope francis calling for an immediate ceasefire be proportionate to the attack. When there is something disproportionate, you can see a tendency to dominate that goes beyond morality. A country that with its force does these things any country, i mean, that does these things in such an exaggerated way. They are immoral actions, even in war, there is a morality to respect. War is immoral, but the rules of war indicates some morality all right, Rula Amin is a senior Communications Adviser for the un Refugee Agency in the middle East And North africa, also former cnn correspondent, she joins me now from amman in jordan its good to see you. My friend israel says its operation is about getting 60,000 displaced israelis please back to their homes in the north. But the numbers of displaced people in lebanon are staggering. 1 Million people. Thats 20 of the population already more than the 2006 war. Where are they . What are they experiencing . Its a total tragic situation, michael, because with every day, where israel expands the areas, its targeting, that means for the people who are fleeing the areas that they can decide are safe, or consider safe to run to are shrinking very fast. There is nowhere to run to. Every time they move, they have to move again as the areas that are being targeted are expanded. Now, its not just the people who are moving on the move, but its also the people who are killed in one day, more than 550 lebanese were killed Including Syrians and refugees so for now, the government says about 1 Million people un numbers may differ a little bit but we have thousands and thousands of people who are forced to flee their homes. They have been moving from one place to another. They need all kinds of basic necessities. They need shelter they need food, they need water, they need medical care, and most important, they need to be protected. They want to feel safe to be able to protect their children yeah. To that point, what what resources are available, what more is needed, how is unhcr helping . So unhcr has been on the ground in lebanon for years and decades since this crisis started in october, we have been supporting all those who have been displaced now in the past week, the numbers have really jump up in a way where the needs are exceeding the resources in such staggering way. We are on the ground providing some kind of shelter, support helping people with blankets, mads sleeping mats mattresses. Its solar lamps, other agencies are bringing in food, water, but its not enough because every day there more people who are running away every week they are less shelters available. The government has established more than 700 shelters so far, these schools and judges but its not than left so many people in beirut are sleeping in the open airing. You remember beirut, you know, the corniche, one of the movie musical spots and lebanon now its fluid with all these displaced families trying to stay safe, trying to run away from the bombings. Yeah ive known you for many years. Youve lived in the region you had a storied Career Reporting from cnn, from the Middle East, including our Beirut And Jerusalem bureaus as well. Youve covered the israeli withdrawal from Southern Lebanon in to i mean, given your vast experience watching and reporting from the region, how concerned about are you about what could be unfolding and what could be to come . We have, not seen anything like this before, even in 2006 i wasnt beirut and i was on the ground. But it was never like this now remember, we have to remember this the amount, the intensity of the bombings, the areas pocketed the color. There is that huge loss of civilian lives, especially among civilians. And we have to remember that lebanon was suffering from a deep economic crisis that was affecting lebanese and refugees in the country learn and was hosting 1,000,000. 5 syrian refugees many of them now find not only that, fled syria to run away from the bombs and the conflict, they came to lebanon for safety. Now they have to live through that experience again there are many of them are choosing to go back to syria. Now, our colleagues are on the lebanese syrian border of the syrian side every day, thousands of people across lebanese and syrians fleeing the violence and the bombings in lebanon, trying to find a safe corner. They dont know what is the plan for tomorrow all they know is that they have to run and the situation in syria is also difficult, serious. A very deep economic crisis so there, are no resources, not within the peoples hands, so that they can run it and pay for, you know, rented apartments and not even that humanitarian agencies like unhcr, where there are so many conflicts in the world the resources are shrinking even for us to be able to meet the needs of all these people abilities are really kind of crippled by the lack of resources. My colleagues are on the syrianlebanese border. People are arriving exhausted, traumatized and panicking. We are giving them water, food putting Rubber Hole for them to stay in this is the day they arrived, but then they move on. Lebanese go to sometimes makeshift shelters. They can go to stay with france. Some of the syrians who are crossing are going back to villages and towns that are totally destroyed. They may not have homes. We are on the ground in syria wed have Community Centers and more than 114. What we know that is not enough, no need more humanitarian side is getting lost in this conflict. The middle of the politics and the rest at 20 of the Nations Population being displaced, its staggering i rula we got to leave it there terrific reported doing great work now in the humanitarian sphere, rule remain.

Before giving up his military career. To pursue his dream of being a Country Music Songwriter it was shocking to most people because i was a captain in the army and i was on my way to Teach English at West Point when i went to nashville, i was a gesture for a couple of years and bartender he did a lot of menial jobs. But kristofferson persevered and eventually artist like Johnny Cash and Janis Joplin were taking his songs to the top of the charts was good enough wouldnt have been doing any of the other things of the performing if i werent a rider, they wouldnt have hired me for my voice despite whatever misgivings he had about his Singing Voice Kristofferson parlayed his songwriting into over according career he became a successful artists in his own right, scoring a string of popular country albums and songs. Mean he captured Hollywoods Eye as well. Pat garrett and billy the kid. Alice doesnt live here anymore. Shes just waiting convoy. And blade were highlights in a decades long acting career. But perhaps his biggest film was the 1976 Remake Of A Star Is Born hard drinking, selfdestructive rockstar opposite Barbra Streisand he saw a lot of himself in the role i was certainly going through all the motions that that character was doing in the mid80s, kristofferson teamed up with Johnny Cash whelan jennings, and Willie Nelson to form the country super the highway man. They released a trio of albums and perform together for over a decade can later years, he received some of musics top honors including a grammy lifetime achievement award, and induction into the Country Music Hall of fame looking back, he had no regrets about embarking on his artistic journey all those years go think i loved the whole creative process of kristofferson.
