I have to i dont think im going to be letting them play football but that at least high school, i dont know either you know, well see what happens. All right. Jim acosta. Thanks so much. Ill take it from here. Good morning, everyone. You are live in the Cnn Newsroom. Im Pamela Brown and New York and we have a new news this morning. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivering an impassioned plea at the United Nations General Assembly just moments ago here On Cnn, we heard him rally global support for ukraine more than twoandahalf years after russia invaded his country and launched a War Zelenskyy brought the chilling warning that russia is Planning Attacks on nuclear Power Plants in ukraine. Heres a bit of his message to World Leaders recently i received yet another alarming report from our intelligence now, putin does seem to be Planning Attacks on our nuclear Power Plants. And the infrastructure, aiming to disconnect the plants from the Power Grid with the help of satellites. By the way. Ladies and gentlemen, by the way, satellites of other countries. Russia is getting images and detailed information about the infrastructure of our nuclear Power Plants but what does this really threaten any missile or drone strike any critical incident in the Energy System could lead to a nuclear disaster. A day like that, must never come Cnns Alex Marquardt joins us now alex, what is the reaction to zelenskyy is warning of a possible nuclear pamela, clearly its designed to get the worlds attention. I mean, there are a few words like nuclear disaster that do just that i thought was actually quite interesting. That hes trying to bring the world in part by saying it is through western Satellite Image come companies that russia essentially knows how to target these nuclear your Power Plants. Of course, we are extremely reliance on these Satellite Image companies to understand what is going on in this. But zelensky kicked off his speech by saying one of the most alarming alerts that he had gotten was in march. So just a few days, march of 2022. So just its a few days after the war began that russia was targeting the zaporizhzhia nuclear Power Plant. That is the biggest nuclear Power Plant in europe. And it is now under the control of the russian forces. So he has been sounding the nuclear alarm for quite some time but now he is really ratcheting that up. And now that we are twoandahalf years into this war, zelenskyy is trying to make sure that the world continues to stand with him, that he continues to get the support that he needs to fight against russia. And the way that hes doing that here in New York. And i imagine hell do it again. Tomorrow when he meets with the president in washington, dc is warning of this winter coming. And one in which russia Will Weaponize Winter by targeting not just all of their, ukraines energy infrastructure, but targeting the nuclear energy infrastructure, he said that some 80 of ukrainian energy had been taken offline. All of the thermal Power Plants had been taken offline. And now hes saying very worryingly that they will be that russia will be going after nuclear facilities in ukraine this winter. Hamlin, all right, alex, thanks so much. And President Zelenskyy was not only addressing World Leaders in New York, but also his war weary nation back home. So lets get the view from there. Lets bring in cnns Fred Pleitgen in the capital of Kyiv Hi there, its certainly was a key speech by Ukraines President there in front of the un general assembly, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, one of his main points was essentially that the war in ukraine, Russias Fullon Invasion of ukraine is a threat not just to ukraine, but to the entire world. One of the things for instance that he did is he accused the russians of planning to attack ukrainian nuclear facilities which he says would be devastating for the countrys energy infrastructure. But of course would also be a big threat to countries, not just in europe, but possibly also countries around the world. One of the things that he did after that is he prodded what hes been doing for quite a long time. And that is what he calls his plan for a just peace. Now, all of that revolves around ukraines territorial integrity about getting russian forces out of ukraine and coming to some sort of Peace Agreement that sticks, not one thats a temporary ceasefire, but one that will hold for a very long time. Obviously, Thats Something that hes been trying to put in place and for which of course he also needs the support of his western allies. First and foremost, the united states so we have to keep in mind that the speech that Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave today comes in this very key week for ukraine and for the ukrainian president , hes of course, set to meet with President Biden Tomorrow to try and then sell president biden what he called his plan for victory, which has several points that are extremely important to the ukrainians. One of them, of course, is their incursion into russian territory. But the ukrainians will also most probably be asking for substantially more weapons from the united states and one of the things thats also key to be allowed to use those weapons to hit deep inside russian territory. One of the things that weve heard again and again from ukrainians here on the ground as they believe that is key if they are to run maine in the fight and try and also push the russians back, pamela. All right. Fred pleitgen. Thank you so much. And now lets go to cnn Military Analyst and retired Air Force Colonel cedric leighton. So colonel first of all, what is your take on zelenskyy is warning that russia is Planning Attacks on nuclear plants. How serious is this . Its extremely serious. Pamela ahead and its one of the things that you have to look at the russian serve clearly targeted the energy infrastructure. And does President Zelenskyy mentioned, theyve and fred mentioned in his reporting, they basically taken out all of the thermal plants and in ukraine is in a lot of former soviet its states they have thermal power as being one of the key energy sources. And protects them, especially in wintertime providing heat a large portion of the population so you have 80 of the Energy Grid that is already decimated. And if the nuclear remainder of the nuclear Power Plants, there the three remaining in ukraine right now. And if they are targeted that would basically almost shut down the entire ukrainian Energy Grid. It completely. And that of course would be a disaster not only for the ukrainians, but it would have potential problems that would spill over into other parts of eastern Europe Yeah and just to take a step back here, cedric, you have the ongoing war with ukraine and then you have this Widening Conflict in the Middle East, Israel Out today saying it has struck 280 targets in lebanon as it intercepted a ballistic Missile And Tel aviv how much is this conflict ramping up in this moment, were in well, i think it is ramping up quite a bit, pamela and when you look at the u. S use of a ballistic missile on the part of hezbollah, it was a signal that they could go into an area as far south as Tel Aviv target extensively, the most mossad, the israeli Intelligence Service that missile was shot down. But if they use more of them, if they tried to overwhelm the israeli Missile Defense systems, that could provide for a significant problem for the israelis. And it could also mean a widening of the conflict. The israelis have also moved their forces into the northern part of the country, poised potentially to end sure. Lebanon, which would mean entering territory thats controlled by hezbollah so this war is kind of in the Middle East is kind of at one of those points where it could go either way, either theres a deescalation or theres an escalation. And right now, were at that fork in the road and that is something that could have an impact not only they on what happens in the Middle East, but potentially also what happens in ukraine, because all of these events, so ultimately tied together just very quickly to follow up. Do you see this as a war between Israel And Hezbollah right now, because both sides have tried to avoid calling it that yeah, its simmer but it is has the potential to become a war i wouldnt call it a war yet, but it is definitely there certainly for on the ground, it looks like award feels like a war. It smells like a war. And thats what people on the ground rules. But from States Perspective would you strategic perspective who probably not quite there yet. All right, colonel cedric leighton, thanks so much and coming up, mark Robinsons Campaign is collapsing after cnns report on his asked incendiary comments.

The lead with Jake Tapper Today it four On Cnn all the republican candidate at the center of a nationwide scandal is in charge of North Carolina today. Right now, Lieutenant Governor Mark robinson is Acting Governor while Roy Cooper is out of the state last week, cnn uncovered dozens of disturbing comments that robinson made on a Pornography Site a decade ago. And a new report by Cnns Kfile shows republicans and conservative groups are trying to distance themselves now by either canceling events with robinson or deleting anything online that shows an associate patient with him. Donald trump endorsed robinson, but he hasnt addressed the scandal. The former president will be campaigning in the State Today and joining us now is former North Carolina Republican Governor pat mccrory. And we should note youve been saying for a long time that robinson should not be running for governor. You shouldnt and be getting this. You must be feeling a little bit like i told you. So in this moment, but i do wonder we still havent heard Donald Trump or his running mate, j. D. Vance, condemn robinsons comments and retract the endorsement they gave him is it a mistake to say silent well, the fact of the matter is for the past almost monthandahalf, the Donald Trump campaign has been avoiding him and not let him on the stage until about two weeks ago when a when Robinson Kind of bullied his way up to the stage when sheriffs were invited i did so he was kinda forced to shake shake his hands, so i got a feel in about a month ago, the Trump Campaign was finding out that there could be some dirty laundry on robinson. But the fact of the matter is for over two years, most of us knew this this was a ticking Time Bomb in fact, Michael Watley Use now chairman of the national Republican Party, was chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party and he probably should have given the president Fair Warning that this guy could be a future dangerous advocate for President Trump during his campaign yeah, because what you just said raises the question, why would trump . That endorse him . As you said, you knew a while back, he was a ticking Time Bomb and just to follow up on my initial question, do you think now that trump should come out and condemn him or retract his endorsement well, everyones running from i mean, i think its a matter of time before even more information comes out. Thats what the Rumor Mill is still saying here. And i think its just a matter of time before everyone scatters in fact, his Campaign Staff is basically already resigned. The rga the Republican Governors association is not going to be spending any money on this guy. Hes dead in the water here in North Carolina and its a sad commentary, but he you got to understand. He was so popular with the base. I saw him speak. He was the most effective, dynamic dangerous speaker. Ive ever seen in my political career. And he was very popular. He was so effective that he did commercials for us senate candidates, negative ad against me for senator ted budd. But now even center bud to his Credit And Thom tillis are saying you better proved that your innocence. If you continue to plan to be in this race yeah, there saying show me the evidence that this is wrong and you have to wonder how all of this will impact Donald Trump. I mean, hes a North Carolina for a second time in just a few days. Right. I mean, thats no coincidence given everything going on there on the ground and how tight this election could be, especially as it pertains to North Carolina, which is always close, how worried should his campaign be that the Robinson Scandal will hurt him in this election well, i know firsthand that when elections are close to North Carolina, every vote counts, i lost my reelection for governor by 10,000 votes, set a 4. 6 million and this could make a difference. It only takes a few people going. I might not vote at all because of robinson or i might change all the way and just both democrats. So theres a Worry Trump and j. D. Vance and the Vice President are out here every day and have been North Carolina really has always been at play. In fact, i just had someone knock on my door for the Trump Campaign and hand me a flyer saying vote early, which is a big change in the Trump Campaigns strategy their forces are on the ground and so are the harris forces. So North Carolina, it could be the state that decides the president ial election. But how likely would it be though that the Robinson Scandal could directly cost trump the state of North Carolina in your view it could happen but North Carolina, has a tradition of Ticket Splitting between the president races and statewide races. And i wouldnt be surprised that Ticket Ticketsplitting continues. But again, if it just impacts five or 10,000 votes, that could make the difference in all the electoral votes. Thats for either harris worked for former President Trump. All right. Former North Carolina governor pat mccrory.
