Were joined this hour from london by Nada Bashir and Salma Abdelziz its good to see you both. So salma, lets start with you. What more are You Learning about these protests on The Streets of israel . Of course, thaT Nationwide strike demanding that the Prime Minister accept a Hostage And Ceasefire deal. So much anger in anguish on The Streets of Tel Aviv and in cities and towns across israel yesterday, where Tens Of Thousands of people were protesting against prime Minister Netanyahus Failure to secure a deal. This, of course comes after that announcement of six hostages killed. And i think its the details rosemary, that really have ive been pointing it to people including the fact that three of the six hostages were set to be released in the first round of any ceasefire deal. One of these hostages who died hersh goldberg, polin in particular became a face in some way of this movement for his heroic actions during october 7, his parents, hes is israeli american because this his parents were speaking at the dnc just a couple of weeks ago, yet again, saying bring them home and its those chance that youre hearing on The Streets. I want you to take a listen to one Protesters Concerns we are here to protest against the israeli government that is making wrong decisions. This stampede was built on some Core Values. Part of them is three i believe that the government of israel will do everything in its power to bring back hostages and soldiers from captivity wherever they are and this government, because of political reasons and more the ride extreme coalition of netanyahu is greater than those values you heard there, what really ease the crux of the issue here . Prime Minister Netanyahu yes. Facing this inger this dissent on The Streets, but within his own cabinet, he has to for you have to remember this is the most far right government in israels modern history. There ease great angle within his cabinet against the ceasefire, dear deal. Rather, there was only one voice that is for that deal in his cabinet, that is yoav gallant, the Defense Minister who has called so far this failure for netanyahu to reach a deal here is insistence on israeli Troop Presence along the egyptian border. You have gallant calling that a moral Disgrace Today nationwide strikes the hope these Labor Unions say, is to cripple these really Economy And Force netanyahus hand. And let me bring in cnns Nada Bashir also in london. So nauta, what is the latest on the situation on the ground In Gaza in particular, how the polio Vaccination Campaign is being rolled out for me, this is a hugely complex operation for medical workers for u. N. Workers on the ground in the Gaza Strip. But as you mentioned, this is a hugely urgent situation as well. The first day of this Vaccine Rollout began yesterday. Focus on the central region of deir al balah. And as you mentioned, we have received data from the World Health Organization saying that around 87,000 children were successfully vaccinated on the first day of this campaign. But again, this is just a fraction of the total number of children that the u. N. Is hoping to have vaccinated over the course of this 12th day period. They are aiming to vaccinate 640,000 i was and children. Thats around 90 of children under the age of ten in the Gaza Strip. And essentially, this Vaccine Rollout campaign, Lake Place in three phases between September 1st and September 12 bit. That first phase, a Threeday Campaign in central gaza. The second phase in Southern Gaza. And thats third and final phase focused on Northern Gaza for what is crucial here is that the u. N. Is calling for three Day Pauses for each of these phases, pauses in fighting from all sides. Weve heard from the u. N. Agency for Palestine Refugees describing the adherence to these pauses as critical to the success of this campaign, take a listen its been an extremely complex Vaccination Campaign. Probably one of the most difficult weve seen in the wild. We have had ongoing stop this morning, quite quieT Now were hopeful that this will last throughout the campaign this is very critical because we simply cannot vaccinate children while they are running for their lives as you heard there, it is critical that this pause in fighting is adhered to, but of course, the logistical challenges on the ground are significant as well. Weve been hearing that repeatedly now from humanitarian workers over the past few months as weve seen, that drop in aid getting into the Gaza Strip particular what is proving challenging for medical workers is the fact that this Vaccine Campaign Wont be exclusively taking place in these socalled humanitarian zones in that first day yesterday, was in fact in a humanitarian zone, but today, u. N. Workers will have to coordinate with the israeli military, them with others to ensure that they can successfully carry out yet more vaccinations outside of these humanitarian zones. And of course, important to note that in the past, we have seen these socalled humanitarian areas are designated zones being targeted or impacted by airstrikes in the past. So there is a fear around the Safety Security Situation on the ground, not only for these relief workers, but also of course, for the families. We saw Families Yesterday queuing up waiting for this Vaccine Rollout to begin with their children. This is a hugely desperate situation for families across the Gaza Strip, as we know, one child already now feeling the impacts of the polio case. Of course, this is a hugely distressing situation. Units saying this is the first case in 25 years recorded in the Gaza Strip our thanks to Nada Bashir and Salma Abdelziz, both joining us live from london. Appreciate it. Well, as israel faces growing pressure to secure the release of the remaining hostages In Gaza, the White House says President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris well, meet the u. S. Negotiating team in the Situation Room on monday. Cnns Kevin Liptack reports the discovery of the six Hostage Bodies Beneath Rafah has lenT New urgency to Hostage And Ceasefire talks that have been led by american officials over the last several months, but which it and really intensified over the last several weeks. And when you talk to american officials, they do say now that there is new urgency to bring these talks to an end, but also new complications as these Hostage Deaths now factor into the discussions, One American official saying that there are now new questions about the Series Seriousness of hamas towards reaching a Hostage Deal, but also thaT New pressure will be applied on israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to come to an agreement. And certainlY You see that pressure playing out on The Streets of israel. Now, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris did speak On Sunday with the family of the american Israeli Citizen who was killed and whose body was recovered. Hersh Goldberg Polin the families had been in contact with the White House for the last of 11 months as they endured this ordeal. And in Fact Hersh goldbergpolins parents spoke at the Democratic National Convention in chicago now, in a statement, President Biden said that he was devastated and outraged. The president went on to say, ive worked tirelessly to bring their beloved her safely to them and im heartbroken by the news of his death is tragic as it is reprehensible. Make no mistake. Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes and we will keep working around the clock for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages now we did hear from President Biden on Saturday Evening after these bodies were discovered, who voiced optimism that a deal could still be struck. He said that the negotiators were on the verge of having an agreement he said we think we can close the deal. So President Biden there very much of the belief that these Hostage Talks can continue. We also understand that jake sullivan, the u. S. National security adviser, did speak On Sunday, virtually with the families of americans who remain held hostage in that conversation. Patient, he discussed ongoing Diplomatic Push across highest levels of the u. S. Government to try of towards a deal. Now, in her statement, the Vice President Kamala Harris did not mention the ceasefire talks specifically, although she has remained adamant that a Ceasefire Agreement is necessary, including in that Cnn Interview last week in her statement, she said that hamas is an evil terrorist organization with these murders, hamas has even more american blood on its hands. She goes on to say the threat of hamas poses to the people of israel and american citizens in israel must be eliminated and hamas cannot control gaza. So making very clear in that statement at any agreement must prevent the future Hamas Leadership In Gaza that that is an eventuality that musT Not be included in any part of the steal. It was interesting in both of these statements, President Biden statement and Kamala Harriss statement . There was no explicit pressure or implicit pressure on netanyahu to come to any agreement. Of course, we know that behind the scenes, american officials have been frustrated by what they see as a resistance to come to any agreement on the part of netanyahu. Statements are very much putting the pressure on hamas. And i think when you talk to american officials, they do recognize that the pressure on netanyahu will come from inside israel itself Kevin Liptack, cnn, washington meantime, former u. S. President Donald Trump is trying to blame Vice President Kamala Harris for the Hostage Crisis after the bodies of six hostages were recovered by the idf In Gaza in a social media post, trump said harris was quote, weak and ineffective and has no idea what shes doing. He also claimed, quote, the October 7 Israeli crisis would never have happened if he were president harris has been working with President Joe Biden on negotiating a Ceasefire And Hostage deal between israel and hamas. The 2024 president ial race is entering a critical stretch with voting in some states, beginning this week President Joe Biden will join Kamala Harris on the Campaign Trail for a Labor Day Event in pittsburgh on monday. Its part of their push to appeal to working class voters across Battleground States. Donald trump is promising an economic revival while focusing on the blue wall of pencil sylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, Hes Planning to hold events in all three states late in the week Lulu Garcia Navarro is a Cnn Contributor and Journalist And Podcast host at the new york times. She joins me now from washington. Appreciate you being with us glad to be here. So a new national poll from abc News And Ipsos shows a narrow lead for Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump with numbers nearly identical to those in a preconvention poll. So how surprised are you that harris didnt receive more of a bounce . Its from the democratic convention i think everyone is going to be surprised among democrats there is usually a postconvention bounces. But if you think how well shes done up until now, i mean, shes been on this upward trajectory and we always knew that this race was going to be there very tight. This race in a very polarized america where both the ceilings and, and floors for support are pretty well set. And so a lot of this race is going to be won around the margins. And thats whY Youre seeing Kamala Harris and tim waltz. And President Trump and j. D. Vance really hitting the trails in these last few weeks before the election in the next couple of days are going to be going to Battleground States. Wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, really all the highlights, all these states that are going to determine the future of this election because theyre fighting for every vote. And just over two months away from this consequential president ial election. And its estimated that about 46 of registered voters are still undecided, are they waiting for the September 10 debate between Harris And Trump before they commit to one of the candidates. And if so, what . Thats i want to hear from each, each of those Candidates Eye Am of the Firm Belief that this is mythical. I think at this point, if you are undecided between these two very different candidates you mighT Not be telling the truth to pollsters. However i dont know that for a fact that is its just something that in my many conversations with people who do polls and with voters themselves, they lean in One Direction or another what i hear though from a lot of voters is that they mighT Not actually show up to the polls. They are unhappy for a variety of reasons. Some people still arent convinced about Kamala Harris. They dont feel that they know her well enough. Lets not forget she took the helm of the democratic ticket under very unusual circumstances. Its been a very short Run And Rollout for her. And shes only done one major interview. We dont really know details about her positions on policy see so thats one reason. On the other hand, you have Donald Trump, who has been flipflopping all over that, all over the place on central issues to his party. For example reproductive rights, abortion he represents a very prolife party. He has been rolling back some of his positions on this. And sO It has led to a lot of Criticism And Confusion within his own party and so what youre seeing here is an electorate that is really trying to figure out a race that has become very, very strange and unusual. This is a race like No Other in american history. And so i think its anyones guess whats going to happen here you mentioned that flipflopping from Trump On Reproductive Rights and Ivf Offering very conflicting messages upsetting some of his supporters and fellow republicans. What is going on there and how does harris need to respond and deal with this issue . Well for Donald Trump, this is the hardest issue that he is facing when You Look at polling, he pulls ahead of Kamala Harris on the most important issues of this election, like the economy and immigration and the u. S. Southern border but where the democrats really have an advantage which is on reproductive rights this is an issue that really has been very vexing for republicans. They have always been a prolife party and antiabortion party with the fall of roe they were the dog that caught the car and didnt know what to do with it it has been something that has been up and down the ticket here very difficult. And Donald Trump has been all over the place on this he has said that he wants to send it to the states the idea being that he was not going to kind of promote a federal ban that hasnt really worked out for him. And so you just see him kind of changing his message . Bit by bit and hes been upsetting the people that he needs to come out and vote for him. And sO It really has been difficult. What democrats need to do is keep talking about this issue. This is an issue that they can win on. Donald trump needs to stop talking about this issue. And yet, he hasnt been able to do that. In the and of course, it will all come down to just a handful of battleground found dates, as you mentioned, where do you see things stand righT Now . And if the election were held today, who would win i dont know i dont know. I think this is the big mystery of this election. Weve seen polling in previous elections overestimate republican strength, over for estimate democratic strength. And sO Its very hard to know at this point who is going to win as you have mentioned, the polls are very tight on often within the margin of error, especially in these Battleground States and you know, what everyone has said is that with Kamala Harris sort of leaving the democratic ticket, it has really energized the democratic party. There are more paths to victory for democrats, but ultimately, what the democrats need to do is win the blue wall states. That is michigan, that is wisconsin that his pennsylvania if they win those states than they can win the presidency. Donald trump has a trickier path. Because he has to win states tha
