Welcome to our viewers joining around the world. Im Max Foster. It is tuesday, October The First 9 00 a. M. Here in london 11 00 a. M. Here in Tel Aviv in israel. Im Becky Anderson well, its 11 in both thin Tel Aviv where i am and in lebanon hand, this is a live look at beiruts where there is a haze over the city of overnight israeli strikes. Israel has also started what it calls a limited Ground Operation into Southern Lebanon and we have new video of the scene from earlier take a look or flashes of light in the sky and explosions as the Israeli Military says, its conducting, quote, targeted Raids LebaneseState Media says strikes in Southern Lebanon are causing severe damage and Lebanons Army is denying reports that it has withdrawn from the area following Israels Ground Incursion meantime hezbollah says it has fired rockets targeting parts of Northern Israel during the early morning hours, Cnns Jeremy Diamond was at the border, when the operation began . Israeli officials tell me that this operation is going to be focused on the villages and it hezbollah posts along the israel gaza, israel, lebanon border. But at the same time, we know that we dont know exactly how far those troops are going to go and for how long they will be staying there. One senior israeli official telling me that they have no intention of a longTerm Occupation of Southern Lebanon. They say that is not going to happen, but they also wont tell me exactly how long they expect this Ground Operation to last well israel says its sending in paratroopers, commandos and members of the Armored Corps, despite these moves says jeremy reports israel says it will not conduct a long Term OccupationSouthern Lebanon. Well the u. S. Says israel informed it of a number of operations, including the Ground Incursion, the us national Security Council Spokesperson tells cnn that Mission Creep can be a risk, and that the White House will keep discussing that with the Israelis Jonathan Conricus is retired Lieutenant Colonel with the Israel Defense forces. Now a Senior Fellow at the foundation for the defense of democracies, as we are some seven hours into what is being described as a limited Ground Incursion. Can i just get an assessment from you . As to where you understand things to stand on the ground yes. Good morning, becky. Thank you for having me. I think that as the idf made official israeli troops have indeed crossed the Blue Line and are operating in rather significant numbers in Southern Lebanon one elite Paratrooper Division Combat team is operating and i think that there are additional troops that are in the periphery what theyre focusing on is establishing the logistics and establishing a hold. So that they can develop operations more. And i think but we will be looking to achieve is im sorry, theres noise in the background. Those alarms here, but ill continue the interview will seek to establish is to control the immediate perimeter and eventually build on that in order to event thats really allow israelis to be able to go back to their home safely. Thats a matter of i think at least weeks, if not longer than that yeah. Im hearing the same alarms here in Tel Aviv. Thank you for continuing this conversation as we await further information, how far and for how long will those troops get into lebanon and stay . How far and for how long . Yeah. I think that you know, the purpose being to enable the safe return of israeli civilians to their homes 70,000 people to communities all along the Blue Line, the border between israel and lebanon, who havent been home for a year thats i think that will take, at least weeks to be honest, and probably more than that. And i think that were talking about a distance which would be a tactical distance of dozens or sorry, of a few kilometers inside the noise around me here, explosions, i hope that isnt interrupt but kilometers inside lebanon the issue here being that hezbollah over the years has established a lot of underground network of tunnels, both for offensive and defensive purposes and hezbollah has antitank Missile Firing positions from within lebanese villages. So what the idf will be trying to do is to move in and clear those so that therell be possible for israeli civilians to go back to their homes reports of aid Communications Blackout in Southern Lebanon. So it is very hard to get a picture of exactly what is happening there as we speak. We are some seven hours into this Ground Incursion as announced by the idf around 2 00 in the morning local time. What is or what will the israeli troops involved do or being what will they be doing to avoid civilian casualties . We already know that some 20 of the lebanese population, 1 Million people have been in displaced and many of those are from the south what to your understanding, will be being done to avoid civilian casualties and displacement . Yeah, thats a super important topic. And i think is what has made a lot of preparations together with the u. S. Together with un forces in lebanon and indirectly communicating to the lebanese via media and diplomatic channels. And the first step is to clear and evacuate the area as much as possible of lebanese civilians. And that has happened and its actually happened months ago so contrary to the situation In Gaza where the people had really very few places to go and it was a very confined space here for over a month for months, lebanese have had the opportunity to evacuate and the area in Southern Lebanon especially the area close to the border, israeli troops will be operating is less civilians there, which is superimportant. Hezbollah will not have the ability to use human shields. And the idf will be going in and will be able to do so with more force and more speed, which is very important the problem is jonathan, of course, is that despite the warnings to evacuate, we know that many of those civilians simply have nowhere to go there also being worn to stay away from hezbollah infrastructure, from launches, many of them may not know where those are. Be that as it may, lets get back to where we started this conversation. We were talking talking about just how many israeli troops are deployed paratroopers, those in the armed Corps Commanders can you give me some more specific detail . How many troops are we speaking about here and just how far i know you said some kilometers how far inside lebanon would you expect them to go . Were talking about at least a Division Combat team, so that could be around 10,000 soldiers give or take, not a specific number, but around that amount. And i think that of course is what well be adding more. Just for reference if you compare it to 2006, there were four and five and six its Division Combat teams operating in Southern Lebanon at the peak of it, that is not where we are are currently and i dont think that israel will intend to do a similar thing. And i think that is what has learned a lot from 2006 and from analyzing this balloon infrastructure. So i think that we will see hopefully creative and surprise idf operations, but amount wise were talking about at least 10,000 in terms of size and where theyre going to maneuver. Were talking about tactical distances. So a few kilometers from the border to begin with and then of course, at the end of the day, the enemy has a vote as the american generals have taught, as well see how hezbollah response, how iran Instruct Hezbollah to operate, and what the Fighting Spirit and the fighting capabilities of hezbollah will be and that would of course also determine how far the idf will have to operate, how bloody the battles will be, how significant the Collateral Damage will be and all of those things are yet to be seen because they depend very much much on the kind of resistance that the idea for me jonathan conricus, thank you very much indeed, for joining us. Thank you. To the u. S. Becky and the Death Toll from Hurricane Helene has risen to at least 130 years. The recovery begins and Search And Rescue efforts continue. Us president Joe Biden set to visit North Carolina on wednesday, Vice PresidentKamala Harris and Donald Trump also made appearances on monday to adjust the devastation caused by the storm how was cut short her campaigning on the West Coast to fly back to washington for a briefing on the federal response to helene. She shared a message of support for americans dealing with a disaster over the past few days, our nation has endured some of the worst Destruction And Devastation that we have seen in quite some time and we have responded with our best with the best folks who are on the ground. And here doing the kind of work that is about rising to a moment of crisis to do everything we can to lift up folks who deserve to be seen and heard. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, he was in South Georgia way, helped to distribute aid in some of the hard Hit Areas is visit though turn political as he falsely claimed the biden Administration Isnt Answering calls from State Leaders asking for help. Georgias governor dismiss those rumors the governors doing a very good job. Hes having a hard time getting the president on the phone, i guess government is not being responsive the president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back. And he just said, hey, what do you need . And i told him we got what we need well work through the federal process. He offered that if theres another things we need just to call them directly, which i appreciate that will president biden also responded to trumps remarks. Take a listen. Hes lying, and the governor told him he was lying the governor told me his line. I spoken to the governor, spent time with him, and he told me his line, i dont know why he does this and the reason i get so angry about i dont care about what he says about me. I care what he what he communicates the people that are in need he implies that were not doing everything possible. We are well soon as Gary Tuchman visited some of the smaller towns affected by the hurricane in North Carolina this area is known as Green River cove. Its right near hendersonville, North Carolina southeast of asheville, this road is treacherous even in the best of times that a rains, its even more treacherous. But now it has been devastated from the remnants of the storm. You can see the Guard Rail is gone. The drop here off the side of the road which has been so heavily damaged, is about 100 feet down cars were not supposed to be on here anymore. There were also houses below. We talked to some people who live in the area. They said they were trying to get down to the house to see if people they know are still there because they havent been able to find out what happened to those people, but they werent able to hike down and neither are we we have been told that there have been Helicopter Rescues of people who live in the homes below. But theres absolutely no way to know for sure if there are still people who are in those homes that have been damaged below us we decided to go down The Hill farther and what we saw is the literal and figurative End Of The Road the devastation of the storm. Will lead to this is the street right here. And you can see that the street just comes to an end before plunging down here. These boulders that are right here the locals here say these boulders actually moved from the force of the storm all the houses in front of mine on the River Side of the road theyre gone. Red Mcmillan And Nick wolf both live in this area. Their homes are okay. But the experience has been dramatic we moved here because the Green River narrows is iconic piece of Classified Whitewater and where whitewater kayakers. So we moved our whole lives down here for this area. Nice riverbeds and theyve all been completely destroyed and rearrange emotional on a lot of different levels near green Water Cove is the small town of saluda, North Carolina population of only about 800 people we dont know of anyone who was killed or injured in this town. Theres lots of damages to the businesses and the homes right over here. This is the Green River barbecue, local restaurant known for its ribs. This business has more than 40 40yearsold, but the people who own it right now only bought at eight months ago you can see all over the floor. This mud keeps getting deeper and deeper as you walk in because there was a mudslide in this part of the build and you could see how deep the mother has gotten right here the mud came in through a crevasse inside this wall bring in tom has the Restaurant Owners his overwhelming and its really a taunting trying to think of what our next steps are. Insurance doesnt Cover Mudslides thats no help. Weve talked to people about getting the tree off the building and its going to be weeks before we we can get to us.

Meanwhile, took a much different tone in a conversation with the creator of the popular Social Media site, we rate dogs the. Minnesota governor explains how his family pets scouts, helps him become a better person do you think having scout has made you a better leader in some ways . Well, i think it starts, i think having a having a dog or pets makes you a better human he counts on me, hes hes loyal, he is Unconditional Love and, i think because of that, that just sense of empathy that youd like to see an all leaders you hope you have it already, but it certainly gets magnified hes counting on you and in an interview with the podcast called all the smoke democratic president ial nominee Kamala Harris explained why she was drawn to walz as her Running Mate tim walz, you think we have nothing in common but his you know, he comes from and grew up in the same kind of, you know, different part of the country, you know, folks were a different color from a different culture but same people, hardworking people, straight talk and people, people who have values and i just found that so familiar well, cnn will have special coverage of the Vice President ial debate.

Its perfectly portable and glows with a regnant missed transform more space with Eric Essential missed forces rolling into Southern Lebanon for what it calls a limited Ground Operation, hopes for a ceasefire anytime soon are quickly fading here as president was asked about the incursion on monday, Joe Biden indicated that he knew something was planned and that he is not happy about it. Have a Listen Israel may be now launching a limited operation into lebanon. Are you aware of that . Are you comfortable with their plan . Im more worried than you might know and im comfortable with them stopping. We should have a ceasefire now hancocks joining me now, as we have reported, there is no ceasefire anytime soon. What we do have its what is described by the israelis as a limited Ground Incursion into Southern Lebanon and airstrikes over beiruts at this point, what more do we know becky, weve certainly been hearing that there have been more strikes in Southern Lebanon. Were hearing from State Media as well that there has been damaged two shops to private homes to crops. Were hearing from the Israeli Military as well that they are telling residents and civilians in lebanon not to go close to the southern part. Now of course, that doesnt really help those that are stuck in the southern part, but they are saying that that is an intensive military zone, and that is not somewhere where civilians should be heading towards now we also heard from the lebanese army, there had been reports that they had moved away from the border itself. They are denying those reports, saying that they are in in conflict tasked with unifil, which is the un peacekeepers on the ground in that area, but a very complicated situation at this point, the Israeli Military saying that they are going to be targeting hezbollah infrastructure, which they say is in these villages along the border and also operatives and weapons caches. Now weve heard the u. S. Response there. You heard from the u. S. President saying that he wants a ceasefire. Weve heard something slightly different from the Defense Minister Lloyd austin, who has spoken with the israeli Defense Minister yoav gallant. He posted on x, formerly known as twitter. This is what he said we agreed on the necessity of dismantling Attack Infrastructure along the border to ensure that lebanese hezbollah cannot conduct October 7 style attacks. On israels northern communities. I reaffirmed that a diplomatic resolution is required to ensure that civilians can return safely to their homes on both sides of the border. So what we hear there is a tacit approval, really from the defense secretary, at least saying israel has a right to defend itself. We havent had a specific response at this point from the u. S. President since the ground troops have gone into Southern Lebanon, we did hear though from one national Security Council Spokesperson saying that they are concerned that the Mission Creep could be a risk while israel does talk about this being a limited operation, there are concerns within the biden administration that things could change on the ground of course, we dont know for sure what hezbollah looks like in Southern Lebanon at this point, it has taken severe blows from the Israeli Military, certainly in its command and im commander operations, but we dont know for sure what exactly the Tens Of Thousands Hezbollah operatives still believed to be in Southern Lebanon with those, those short, medium and longrange missiles, what kind of response that they will give becky .

And there will be they say, no longTerm Occupation the Israel Defense forces is conducting limited and targeted rates along israels northern border against the Threat Hezbollah poses to civilians in Northern Israel. This localized Ground Raids will target hezbollah strongholds that threaten israeli towns.

Hezbollah had prepared to use those Villages A Staging Grounds for an October 7Style Invasion into israeli homes. Hezbollah plan to invade Israel Attack israeli communities and massacre innocent men, women, and children they call this plan conquered the galilee israels offensive that many see as an invasion in lebanon intensifies the number of displaced people are likely to ride this is an airport in cyprus before Israels Ground Incursion began earlier this morning, those who were able to leave lebanon arriving here to escape israeli airstrikes, they say conditions in their country are dire Thats Situation that is very bad they are bombing every day by road its really hard to do anything nowhere closely knownothing for the past two weeks, we couldnt see from the bombs from what are the news psychological news that its really about hold joining me now from beirut is Michael Young is the Senior Editor at the carnegie Middle East center. Hes also the author of the ghosts of martyrs square an Eyewitness Account of lebanons life. And struggle. You just heard from one man who has escaped beirut. Just describing why he left and what he had been through. Can you just describe the impact . Until these ongoing airstrikes . Very specifically because you are in beirut on the people of beirut thank you. Thank you for having me. Im currently in the mountains actually southeast of beirut, but obviously in the past two weeks, there have been increasing israeli airstrikes on the southern suburbs of beirut i think we should stress that the israelis are basically focusing all their energies if i could say on the southern suburbs of beirut, which they are systematically now beginning to destroy other parts of beirut or had been spared this, although they have targeted attack, they, they did have a targeted attack in a more central part of beirut yesterday course, in response to a question, of course is very difficult for someone who people in beirut are hearing the explosions and with the israelis are not really saying whether there is, of course this fear that they can hit some reports of as many as 20 of the population of million people displaced in some fashion across lebanon. At the moment. I want to watch you very specifically. It is not clear how long this incursion into Southern Israel on the airstrikes across sorry, the incursion into Southern Lebanon and the airstrikes across lebanon by the Israeli Military will continue. It is not clear how far troops on the ground well go nor for how long what is the risk to lebanon and the lebanese people at this point when obviously, you know, on The One hand, the israelis have said that its limited to essentially the border areas to as they put it to dismantle, as well as infrastructure. But at the same time you had this very noticeable statement this morning on twitter by the israeli arabic Language Spokesman military spokesman who told people not to go south of the Litani River a few days ago. In fact, the israelis, israeli spokesman declared that the Litani River was israels northern border. Im not at all convinced that this is a limited operation as the israelis say it could be that on the other hand, it could be that they have negotiated something with the united states that is more limited. But, you know, i remember 1982 i was here at the time. The israelis entered in what was also supposed to be limited operation. And of course, the they eventually ended beirut i dont think theyre going to end up in beirut this time. That said of course, at the time it was described as a limited operation. It was three years before most of those israeli troops said had withdrawn south of the the Thani River i do want to talk about the wider picture here. I mean, obviously people in Lebanon And Suffering under there this onslaught at present, the israelis have said that they have a stated goal of returning their citizens. Some 65,000 of whom have been displaced hes from the northern border as a goal of this war. Obviously, many, many, hundreds of thousands of people in lebanon who are displaced. As i said, we dont know how long this goes on. Israel has a history of of little success with regard invasions into lebanon. The wider story here is i talk to people around the region is is twofold really. There is the risk of further destabilization to lebanon, a country already in a real mess and with people leaving for, for example, syria, which itself is unstable, that is one real concern. The wider story, perhaps, and you hear this in some parts of the arab region. Is that the degradation, if not complete, sort of destruction of hezbollah on The One hand, and hamas In Gaza, but very specifically hezbollah who have waged such a Malign Campaign against so many countries around this region would be an opportunity, a potentially a good thing going forward. Where do you land as some parts of this region look to a future Middle East, which has a very different architecture going forward its certain that hezbollah has not been good for the authority of the lebanese state. But lets be serious. If there is Today And Assumption that youre going to get rid of hezbollah so easily because of the few assassinations or a few bomb attacks. This is an illusion. I mean, he well, is anchored in one of lebanons largest communities its backed by, of course, a major Regional Power called iran definitely i can understand it in the arab world, there is a great deal of hostility towards hezbollah, but this is, this is not going to be resolved militarily by Israeli Military action in lebanon. Im afraid you know, this is a much, much bigger issue of iran emerging as a Regional Power within its networks. With its networks of alliances this is, at this level, that you need to address the problem all of this happening today is that effectively, you have 1 Million over 1 Million lebanese according to the lebanese government, most of them from the shia community, who has become essentially refugees in their own country. Its a major humanitarian problem. It will have a definite impact on hezbollah afterwards because they will have to resolve this problem at best, what you can, what you can do in Lebanon Today is to erode to certain extent, Hezbollahs Aura in the country. But youre certainly not going to get rid of hezbollah i think thats an illusion and in the meantime, the Danger Destruction taking place and enormous loss of Life Michael young, its good to have you. Thank you very much indeed, for joining us. Thank you, becky. Thank you. Are china now celebrating a major anniversary of the Peoples Republic was founded 75 years ago on October The First, 1949 and all sorts of events have been getting underway over there and beijing, despite chinas persistent economic downturn, Prison Xi Jinping said the country is moving forwards to use the week long national holiday to bring up the tense topic of taiwan Mark Max and the timing of this comes as the Chinese Communist Party celebrates its 75th anniversary. So this is a time for reflection on the past looking into the, looking ahead to the future, really a chance for beijing to give itself a pat on the back. And we have seen a lot of symbolism over the last 48 hours. In fact, it was just today, not too far from my location here in beijing at tiananmen square, we saw chinese flag raised up the flagpole. Its part of a ceremony. There were balloons as Xi Jinping really talked about, the importance of national achievements, about modernization, about moving to the future so this idea, this notion of reunifying taiwan to the motherland she shouldnt Pink Sprayc are really is not that much of surprise.

File a defiant Julian Assange has issued his first public remarks since being freed from a british jail. The Wikileaks Founder became infamous for his involvement of a massive breach of us classified military and diplomatic documents. Sanaa Clare Sebastian thats been watching what he said because were sort of looking hes going to take this forward, arent way. Well, i think thats the big question and we dont have an answer to that yet. But i think what is abundantly clear from his Appearance Today is that he does not plan to stay silent or fade into oblivion. That is not part of the plan. Thats why hes emerged. Now, only three months after his release in this Plea Deal with the u. S. Despite growing that his sort of health and mental state has been severely impacted by this, that it has taken a massive toll which has made this appearance extremely difficult. And for the first time, he has now addressed that Plea Deal, which was the real sting in the tail of his freedom after 14 years, he claims of incarceration. The fact that hes still had to plead guilty to a one Felony Count under the us espionage act. And this has led to a real sense for him of unfinished business taken us me is now precluded as the u. S. Government insisted in writing into its Plea Agreement that i cannot file a case at the European Court of human rights, or even a freedom of Information Act Request over what it did to me as a result of its extradition request. I want to be totally clear i am not free today because the system worked i am free today after years of incarceration because i pled guilty to journalism so he claims his motive for a pairing is to try to make sure that this doesnt happen to anyone else. He says that he thinks that a lot of time has been lost since hes been in prison. He sees more impunitys as more secrecy, more retaliation. We shouldnt. Hes called this a dark crossroads. Its for freedom of expression. So it wasnt a sense, a rallying cry, but he also did detail at length the various sort of Abuse And Mistreatment that he himself faced. And interestingly, given the timing of this in the context of the u. S. Political calendar, he was very critical in particular of the Trump Administration interesting nuisance, of course, we heard trump in the 2016 election me that he loves wikileaks. He claims the Trump Administration ran a campaign of retribution against him that the cia was pursuing him. Obviously, this could perhaps serve as a warning given that we might see trump reelected in november. But as i said, this clearly is a man who feels his own recovery from those 14 years is income he at one point in the hearings that he was tired and the head of wikileaks at the moment had to take over so itd be interesting to watch his next steps. We didnt get a clear answer on what his plan is moving forward, but clearly it is not to stay silent. No, absolutely, clare. Thank you so much.
