Thank you so much for joining me. Im Fredricka Whitfield and we begin this hour in the Middle East its where right now were seeing more protests across israel demonstrators are demanding a Hostage Deal to put an end to the war in gaza. As the country marks 11 months since the horrifying hamas attacks on October 7 Cnns Matthew Chance and Julia Benbrook are tracking all the latest developments. Matthew youre there at the protest in Tel Aviv there are a lot of people there. Its very noisy. What can you tell us yeah, it is very noisy fredricka thousands of people that have turned out here in the center of Tel Aviv to show their support first and foremost, of course, for the hostages one israelis that are still being held Inside Gaza of course, in live 35 of them believe at least to be to be dead who ready. Button. That kind of protests, that kind of rally in solidarity of the hostages and their families. That takes place every weekend. And the main bit of that rally is actually hes somewhere elsewhere. This is much more political. The thousands of people who have turned out here at this particular rally which is just outside the israeli defense ministry. Theyre calling for netanyahu to the Benjamin Netanyahu, the israeli Prime Minister, to change his strategy. They do not relief and ive spoken to many people here over the course of the last couple of hours. They do not believe that these ready Prime Minister is following the right strategy to get those people out. They think his prioritizing the war over the release of the israeli citizens being held in the gaza strip. And so i think, you know, a person thats what thats what many of these people who speak english at all yeah. What do you think netanyahu is following the right strategy to get those People Muscle here dancing. So what do you think he should do what will come easily get what you think . Now as dei thank you for that. Opinions why did you get the sense regarding people sort of fundamentally opposed he. Said they strategy of pursuing over and a father to go to get the husband that hes being pursued by Benjamin Netanyahu. They want that to change and as i keep on shining, they want that to change now and matthew, if you can hear me and its not the issue is not just about the hostages and a ceasefire, right . But its also about the death of american turkish activists there who was just killed this week. What are you learning about people sentiment . There well, you know, i can tell you that people sent to me its right here at this protest that theyre not focusing on that i do, know that israeli defense force, the idf the israeli military, are saying that getting into the circumstances around the death of that Turkish American activists in the West Bank unfortunately this is become all too routine when it comes to palestinian Supporters Kind of confronting object, being on the other side with line, stick to the israeli military the israeli government say military say Thats Something were looking into. But again, the overwhelming sense about to the people here is that their focus is on the flight at the hundred and one israeli inside the gaza strip. Theyre not that off a pro palestinian activists here lets, lets face it. Theyre calling for Benjamin Netanyahu, israeli prime Minister Change Tack thats against those hundred and one People Act of gaza, no matter what the matter how many palestinians in prison, prisons in israeli jails have to be released they want those people as soon as possible. Fredricka yeah. All right. That makes a lot of sense there Matthew Chance. Appreciate it. Sadly, bring in julia. Now julia, weve seen major roadblocks with the latest ceasefire negotiations. What is the White House saying about the latest efforts to try to reach a deal . While, the president and his top aides have persistently expressed hopes to get a deal across the line significant complications have shifted the mood in recent days. And some of the White House have questioned whether a deal can be done before the end of Bidens Presidency . U. S, officials have said that theyve become increasingly skeptical if hamas may be open to an agreement and have accused the group of complicating negotiations after the execution of six hostages in gaza now, earlier in the week, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bluntly said that It Deal is not close, and hes arguing for a permanent israeli presence in southwestern gaza, despite international pressure, including from the u. S. To eventually fully withdraw. Now in london, earlier Today Cia Director Bill Burns acknowledged the difficulties of getting the final details of the deal addressed. He also emphasized just how high the stakes are here. I cannot tell you how close we are right now. It is it is a fact that if you look at the written texts, 90 to the paragraphs have been agreed two, but in any negotiation have been involved in the last 10 is the last 10 for a reason because its the hardest part to do now if a Ceasefire Deal failed to materialize in the coming months, it would be an enormous foreign Policy Disappointment for biden, who has spent a huge amount of time effort and political capital over the last year pushing for an end to this war. Now sources say that he has grown increasingly focused on this in the last few weeks since he ended his reelection bid. In fact, to top Democrat Close to the White House simply said that biden was obsessed with the issue as of late alright, Julia Benbrook, well leave it there for now. Thank you so much. And to Matthew Chance as well alright. Now, to the race for the White House, were just three days away from the much anticipated president ial debate today. Both candidates our in Battleground States, Vice President harris is in pennsylvania preparing for the debate with her team. She also just picked up the support of former republican Vice President Dick Cheney, who announced that he will vote for the democratic candidate over Donald Trump in november. Meantime, former President Trump is in the Swing State of Wisconsin Today for he will hold a rally in the next hour. Weve got Team Coverage of the race for the White House. Cnns Eva Mckend is covering the Vice President and pittsburgh. Lets begin with Alayna Treene at that Trump Rally in wisconsin. What just about an hour away . Alayna what is expected there thats right. Fred, hes about hes slated to speak around 1 00 p. M. Central time, local time, wisconsin. And luck, theres already a huge crowd here. Were on a tarmac and were in most any wisconsin pretty central to this state. And this is really an important state for Donald Trump. This has long been one of those states that Donald Trumps team has viewed as mustwin. They view the blue wall as a key pathway to getting the 270 electoral votes needed to win in November Ember now, this is an interesting state. Remember, Donald Trump won it in 2016, but lost it to biden in 2020 and they had been very confident about his chances. Taking wisconsin back come the fall. But some of that has changed since Kamala Harris has topped the ticket now, weve seen in recent polling, including a Cnn Poll published last week, that Kamala Harris has grant gaining ground. Shes also currently polling higher in this state, then Donald Trump, of course, its very close, so things could still change up as part of why he is you here today. Now, a key thing im told Donald Trumps remarks will focus on is the economy. We know that that is the Number One issue for voters. And Donald Trump really wants to try to Hammer Harris on those policies and tried to tie her to those policies of the biden administration, a similar to what we heard him do at a speech on thursday to the Economic Club Of New York during that speech, we actually heard for Donald Trump for the first time, really get into some of the specifics about what his own economic policy plans would look like. He talked about wanting to slash regulations to impose sweeping tariffs on imports as well as lowered the corporate Tax Rate to 15 , among other things, of course, during those remarks, he did not address some of the potential implication questions of what those plans could mean, including that many economists warn that such big tariffs could actually create more inflation. Now fred, one really big thing to keep in mind about this speech today, as of course, the timing of it, we are just three days away from that crucial debate and pennsylvania, on Tuesday Donald trump really is viewing these kind of speeches, these remarks as a way for him to prepare. I think a lot of the remarks here today, youll hear some of the same talking points. Ill try to me your on tuesday during that debate, fred. All right. Alayna treene there in wisconsin but you know what were looking at live pictures out of pittsburgh, pennsylvania, atlanta because Vice President Kamala Harris is making a stop there. Weve said that she is in pittsburgh preparing for the debate three days away.

Fredricka of her coming to its fair. Yes. She had to hunker down and trend new asleep, prepare with a small group of key advisers ahead of this consequential debate. But she also wanted to be in Battleground State and make the most of the time that she has left in the closing days before the debate and before the election. So shes had a Spice Shop right now out in pittsburgh in the Country Unity getting that Critical Facetime with voters.

Shes also stepped out of her Preparation Confines and is now mingling with people. Shes in a Spice Shop in pittsburgh, and shes just responded to a question to her about getting this support now from the former Vice President Dick Cheney, who said hes voting for her this november. Listen in cheney has endorsed what im actually im honored to have their endorsement and i think that what they boats as leaders who are wellrespected are making an important statement that its okay. And if not important to put country above party and im honored to have their support and i think its an important statement right now. A lot of what i think is happening and i was just talking with some folks here in pittsburgh about it is that people are exhausted about the division and the attempts to divide us as americans. And them stepping up to make this public statement, i think is a courageous but also for people like the folks i was just talking with, it really reinforces for them that we love our country and we have more in common than what separates sense are not president and when shes referring to they shes talking about the former republican Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former congresswoman liz cheney. She too also has thrown her support behind Kamala Harris well continue to keep tabs and watch about all the things going on on the campaign trail. All right.
