Jack block party, a party every spread make sure you have nonperishable food, water, all those things, its not a matter of what whether were going to get effects. Its just a question of how significant those effects will be if youre a godly person, pray we stand with ukraine now and in the future. I dont appreciate zelenskyy come into this country and telling the american taxpayers what they ought to do. He ought to say, thank you, we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses just to make a deal, zelenskyy. From charge. I know im in these charges will be entirely false based on Lock Newsroom with Max Foster and christina macfarlane. Hello, and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us from around The World. Im Max Foster. It is thursday, september the 26 Mile Am here in london, 4 00 a. M. In the Big Bend of the u. S. State of florida, where residents have been warned to evacuate as a major hurricane is set to make landfall later Today Hurricane Helaena is a category one storm now but its expected to crash into florida, a category four strength with catastrophic Winds Record Rainfall and are lifethreatening Flooding Situation the hurricane is on track to be the strongest storm to hit the u. S. In more than a year evacuations have been ordered in at least 15 counties and five states across the southeastern us theyre taking the threat very seriously. Tampa international airport has also suspended all operations for the time being. This will be the third hurricane in just over a year to hit the area of floridas Big Bend and residents tell Cnn Affiliate wctv, this one has them worried thats when he has gotten little bit more nervous than others. I mean, fair, the extent of how widen vast it is, we got to be more ready this time than weve ever been before. May take us a little bit of time to put everything back together. But were resilient. Well come right back. If youre a godly person, pray because i dont really need this neither do any of us. It still may be hours until the actual storm hits florida, but Emergency Workers already lined up and prepare to offer assistance. Cnn Meteorologist Derek Van dam is in florida as residents prepare for the storms arrival. If this Storm Surge Measurement is any indication of whats to come with approaching Hurricane Helene. Then here in apalachicola, we need to prepare for the worst this shading of blue represents the potential Storm Surge, inundation from a category four landfalling hurricane, which we are anticipating here. This is for a category 43 in this shading of red is inundation with a category two hurricane. Now, with over ten feet of Storm Surge right here where im located, thats whats in the forecast. You could see that that is nearly twice as high as how tall i am. This is the storm that people here have feared for their entire lives. And the reason this area is so susceptible to Storm Surge and hurricanes is because of the shallow nature of the Gulf Of Mexico over my right shoulder. You can go 50 miles out into the Gulf Of Mexico and have only 1020 feet of water underneath. You know, that shelf actually drops off very quickly. So an approaching storm pushes up the water from the eastern Gulf Of Mexico and that hits the shelf and it has nowhere to go, but up, of course, inundating this portion, the low Line Area of floridas Big Bend now, were under a mandatory evacuation here. Now, we know that this storm is not only going to bring the Catastrophic Winds to the coastline of florida on the Gulf Coastline of florida but the feeling the expanse of the storm is going to be significant because theres only growing in size. So not only intensifying and strength, but also growing a size, it could be one of the largest storms in terms of its Wind Field in modern record keeping that is incredibly even eclipsing hurricane katrina. That means the effects of the system will be felt well outside of the center. Now, once the storm races inland, its going to bring these hurricaneforce gusts into central and Southern Georgia as well. Theres a lot of trees between here Lanza Metro for instance. So expect extended Duration Power outages and then not to mention the potential at least for unprecedented catastrophic flooding as the system dumped over at least ten inches, maybe upwards of 15 inches in some locations across portions of south carolina, georgia, and into North Carolina Derek Van dam, apalachicola. Lets go live to atlanta. Cnn meteorologist, Allison Chinchar is following. Halynas latest movements and just take us through all of the you know, the dynamics here because schools are closing and people are deeply affected. Yes. And its impacting so many areas that are far from the coast. I think thats what really separates this storm from so many others. Now we look at the current statistics, winds of 85 miles per hour, gusting up to 105. The movement right now is to north at 12 miles per hour. Pay attention to that because we will circle back. Its now moving into the Gulf Of Mexico. This is where we really anticipate this storm is going to strengthen and quickly because its moving into very warm waters. That is fuel for these types of storms. So its expected to intensify as it continues to make its way north eventually into a category 23. And the forecast calls for this to make it all the way up to canada im sorry 44 hurricane just before landfall in the big Bend Region. The other thing to note though, is the forward speed is expected to pick up. We talked about 12 miles per hour. That is expected to jump to 25 miles per hour, right at landfall. I know that may not seem all that fast to us, but for a tropical system especially in the Gulf Of Mexico, that its incredibly fast and the important part of that means once it makes landfall, it can make it very far inland. But for it really weakens so you have Hurricane Warnings and Tropical Storm warnings first, cities that are hundreds of miles away from the coastline, there are expected to have winds that are very strong 60 to 80 miles per hour one of the rain will also still be a factor even well inland, the recap we are expecting a category four at landfall. The biggest concern is going to be not just widespread Power Outages, Heavy Rain, but unsurvivable Storm Surge numbers. Thats what the Hurricane Center is calling this. And its not surprising when you look at the numbers up and down the entire west mr. Coast of florida peninsula, there is some level of Storm Surge for places like tampa, youre talking five to eight feet just north of that, you get eight to 12 in this big Bend Region right here where you see a lot of this purple color, youre talking ten to 15 feet. Some of these areas could see inundation up to 20 feet. So again, you are talking tremendous high amounts of Storm Surge. Wind is also going to be a factor because it is a category four storm in the categories are based off of wind speeds youre really going to see that Ramp Up as we go through the Day Today on thursday by late thursday afternoon, and into the evening, you really start to see those incredibly strong Wind Gusts from tampa all the way up through apalachicola, and especially as it makes landfall. But even on the other coast, say the atlantic side of this cities like savannah, charleston, theyre likely going to have very strong Wind Gusts and some very Heavy Rain to this isnt just going to be the area right near landfall. Thats impacted as the storm continues to slide up, cities like it land emma columbia, south carolina, asheville, North Carolina. All of those areas, as we mentioned, could see very strong Wind Gusts, very capable of bringing down trees and power lines. So youre looking at pretty widespread Power Outage expected, again, not just for florida, but for a lot of the surrounding states as they take some of those impacts as well, rain also going to be a big factor. Its a twofold. You have not only the moisture coming from helene, but we also had a cold front that was here. So its the combination of the two thats triggering huge amounts of water for these areas. Widespread locations youre talking six to ten inches, but there will be some spots that could easily pick up max at least a foot of rain before for this system finally exits the area. Okay. Alison, keep us updated. Thank you israel is launching a new round of strikes, against hezbollah in lebanon as the u. S. And its allies are calling for a 21 Day Ceasefire. The idf says at least 75 targets were hit overnight it also says several projectiles fired from Khan Younis In Gaza were intercepted. Another 81 people were killed by israeli strikes on wednesday, according to the lebanese Health Ministry, that puts the Death Toll since monday at well over 600 meanwhile, the top Israeli General is warning of a possible Ground Incursion into lebanon. He met with troops its along the israeli lebanese border on wednesday im numb today, we will continue we are not stopping. We keep striking and hitting them everywhere. The goal is very clear to safely return the residents of the north to achieve that, we are preparing the process of a maneuver, which means your military boots, your Maneuvering Boots will enter Enemy Territory israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu left Tel Aviv for New York just a few hours ago. Hes scheduled to speak to the Un General Assembly on friday and israeli official says talks over a 21 Day Ceasefire proposed by the u. S and its allies are a main motivator for Netanyahus Trip in the meantime, Israel And Iran are Trading Blame for the conflicts in Lebanon And Gaza if we act of tail on foreign soil bases back to one source, the slamming regime of iran. It is the spider at the center of this web of violence and we have to fight this web of violence. The only way to prevent further escalation is clear israel must immediately cease its war on gaza. And its attacks on lebanon must stop lets me be clear, mr. President, without a ceasefire In Gaza, there would be no guarantee for peace in the region. Thats joint. Paula hancocks, shes in abu dhabi. First of all, this fear. Now spreading of a Ground Invasion into lebanon and what that actually symbolizes how likely is it based on what The General was saying . Well, max, certainly the public messaging is that it is imminent. Certain now of course, a lot of this could also be to show what could happen if hezbollah were not to pull back or if there were not to be some kind of a Ceasefire Proposal. And that is what the u. S is trying to do at this point, they say they have countries in europe, they have some countries in asia, also here in the region that are supporting this 21 Day Ceasefire plan. Now, weve heard from one senior us official, theyve called it an important breakthrough as to whether or not Hezbollah And Israel would sign up for this when you are hearing these public statements, for example, from the israeli Military Chief is an unknown. We have heard from the u. S. Officials that both sides know that the contours of this deal, they have been briefed on them and they are also optimistic about the fact that its being made public. So this wont come as a surprise to them. Weve also heard from an israeli really official that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, has given his government the green light to go ahead and mediate to talk to the mediators. But of course, there are simply no guarantees at this point that this could be a possibility we did hear from the Un Secretary general, though at the Un General Assembly in New York, talking about how hell is breaking out in lebanon. Lets listen to him to all sides. Let us say in one clear voice, stop the killing and destruction. Tone down the rhetoric and threats step back from the brink and no loud what must be avoided at all costs . It would surely be an allout catastrophe a lot of diplomatic work at happening Behind The Scenes, but then you do see on the ground that the israeli air force, for example, said 75 hezbollah strikes were targeted overnight. We know that there have been launches from hezbollah coming the other way as well, that there are Tens Of Thousands in lebanon that have been displaced as there is a mass movement from southern lebanon, the area that is a hezbollah stronghold. Further north. We also know theres even some thousands and trying to Cross Into Syria at this point. Thats lebanese and syrians who were in lebanon. So that is a lot going on on the ground that would suggest that a ceasefire is not imminent. But we are hearing from the diplomatic side that over the past 48 hours there has been a massive effort Behind The Scenes. And of course, with all the World Leaders in New York, at the same time, in the hope that they could have this 21 Day Ceasefire. Max paula. Thank you new York City mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on at least one federal criminal charge. Thats according to sources familiar with the matter who Say Adams will have several days to turn himself in the charges hes facing are not publicly known at this time. This follows months of federal investigation into a Campaign Fundraising violations. The mayor says, hes innocent and he wont step down these charges will be entirely false based on lives but they would not be surprised always knew that if i stood my ground. All of you, that i would be a target and he target. I became well the indictment intensifies it intensifies the legal troubles gripping City Hall where federal probes have been targeting the mayors in a circle now to the race for the white house, Kamala Harris is slamming Donald Trumps economic plans, saying his tariff hikes would lead to a recession, and that he has a history of only taking care of very rich people. The democratic president ial nominee also explained how she intends to drum up funds for her signature programs were going to have to raise corporate taxes and were going to have to raise were going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. Thats just it. Its about paying their fair share. Im not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share and it is not right that the teachers and the firefighters that i meet every day across our country are paying a higher tax then the richest people in our country a close look now at harris, his vision for the u. S. Economy. Then cnns Eva Mckend reports from the Battleground State of pennsylvania the Vice President called for greater investments in manufacturing for new technologies that would impact communities like ones right here in pittsburgh. She also called for increased investment in aerospace and Artificial Intelligence plugins in a nod to how that would impact Factory Towns across the state of pennsylvania. But ultimately, she seemed to want to make a cultural argument here. For that when it comes to the challenges that everyday americans have to confront, that former President Donald Trump simply doesnt get it. Donald trump intends to take america backward to the failed policies of the past. He has no intention to grow our middle class. Hes only interested in making life better for himself and people like himself. The wealthiest of americans. And the criticism didnt end there. The Vice President accused the former president of being one of the biggest losers when it comes to manufacturing accused him of selling out america saying that that is something that she would never do sell out the nation to americas adversaries or competitors mark cuban in the billionaire businessman, was in the crown speaking to reporters after the event and he was asked why the Vice President continues to trail the former President Polling on the economy and he simply said that she needs more time that allinall, she is a relatively new candidate and shes still out here making her case, but that most americans will be able to connect with her argument when they get a better understanding of her economic vision for the country.

Now says it has changed as official nuclear policy because of ukrainian strikes that are backed by the west president Vladimir Putin warned nuclear weapons could be deployed if russia is struck by conventional weapons theres a Jupiter Fixture with those louis, the conditions for Russias Transition to the use of nuclear weapons are clearly established. We will consider this possibility upon receipt of reliable information about the massive launch of air in Space Attack weapons and their crossing of our state border. And strategic or tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic, and other aircraft he also said moscow would consider any attack on its territory by a nonnuclear state. Thats supported by a nuclear power to be a joint attack. He said, ally, belarus is now under its nuclear umbrella of change comes as the u. S and uk consider whether to give ukraine permission to Fire Conventional Western missiles into russian territory. Sri meanwhile, ukraines president Visits Washington later today to make an urgent Inperson Plea for more help. Volodymyr zelenskyy is set to meet separately with us president Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Mr. Zelenskyy is expected to share his Victory Plan with the white house, the biden administration is pledging longterm support for ukraine despite political uncertainty, the u. S. Announced a new Aid Package for kyiv on wednesday worth 375 Million and more could be on the way on wednesday, mr. Biden and other World Leaders signed a joint declaration promising to support Ukraines Recovery and rebuilding efforts. Mr. Zelenskyy also addressed the Un General Assembly and called on The World to stand against what he called russias colonial war the rule needs a peaceful future and sustainable development. And i say this as a president of ukraine It Country resisting russias brutal colonial Aggression Putin has stolen much already, but he will never steal The Worlds future meanwhile Donald Trump is lashing out at mr. Zelenskyy, blaming him and not russia for the ongoing war. Trumps wild false of unsolicited remarks about ukraine include claims that millions of people have died there since the invasion. And that the country has been obliterated. And its beyond hope Cnns Alayna Treene picks up the story former President Donald Trump was back in North Carolina on wednesday for a speech that his campaign billed as being on the economy, but it was very clear during during his remarks that he also had an eye on the foreign leaders who are currently in the united states for the Un General Assembly. Now at one point, during his remarks, Donald Trump unprompted brought up the war in ukraine and also began to sharply criticizing ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskys Handling of the war. He argued thats alive and ski should have accepted a deal much earlier on, even if it was a bad deal with russia to avoid what trump argued was ukraine now being gone . As a country, take a listen to what he said. Those buildings are down, those cities are gone. Theyre gone and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal. Zelenskyy He Deal that he could have made that wouldnt have been better than the situation you have right now you have a country that has been obliterated not possible to be rebuilt. Now, Donald Trump also sharply criticized both Joe Biden as well as Kamala Harris has handling of this war. He argued that the two of them have been quote, Feeding Zelenskyy money and new nations like no country has ever seen before. And the reason this is so important is because this really the first time we have heard Donald Trump publicly be so critical. Cool of zelenskyy and it also is one of the clearest indications yet that if he is elected in november, he were significant, significantly pare Back Support to ukraine now, the context of this is also notable that comes as president Joe Biden is expected to meet with zelenskyy this week it also comes as im told that Donald Trump has no plans to meet with saland even though the former president is slated to be in new York City on thursday and one thing to keep in mind as well as Behind The Scenes, Donald Trump has been also pretty critical zelensky, this week it comes after zelenskyy made did an interview over the weekend where he was critical of jd vance, argued that Donald Trumps Running Mate would want to end the war in ukraine, even at the expense of ukraine as a country, alayna treene, cnn, charlotte, North Carolina, clare sebastians here. I want to start with this changing nuclear policy in russia, which will be alarming a lot of viewers. Yeah, i think the calculation for russia is that there is now a risk. We see that biden is increasingly open to the idea of giving permission to ukraine to use these westernmade longrange missiles on russian soil. So their concern is that the Saber Rattling so far that has not been enough to convince the west in the power of russian escalation. So they are taking the rhetoric and now putting it into action. They are sort of clarifying updating the nuclear doctrine. Its not that specific. They still seem to be sort of treading a fine line, but what would it look like as sort of lowering of the threshold for a first strike . So they have said before the nuclear doctrine theyre already contain the ability for russia to use a first nuclear strike if it felt its very existence was threatened by conventional weapons. Now, they are clarifying that if they believe an attack is coming from a non nuclear state, but supported by a nuclear state, then they will consider that a joint attack. Putin also said that if Russia Attacks Mass Aerial Assault using drones, missiles, aircraft, then it could consider using a nuclear strike, but it didnt clarify which missiles he didnt clarify which countries, although of course, the three countries that have supplied longrange missiles to ukraine, the u. S. The uk and france or the three nuclear armed countries in nato. So its definitely a response to that at, to the sort of the Military Environment as they call it. But russia of course, has its own calculations when it comes to escalation, not least, of course, the reaction are possible reaction of its now a key ally, china yeah, in terms of affecting the u. S. It does play into politics, doesnt it . Because a lot of people will be worried about escalation present bidens worried about escalation. Perhaps they werent therefore hand allow these missiles to be used into russia. Meanwhile, youve got Donald Trump laying a lot of doubt It Zelenskyy is door i mean, zelenskyy is in the middle of this political roller coaster, essentially, hes having to navigate what may end up being Binary Choice in november for the u. S. To help ukraine or to not help ukraine. I think its worth comparing the comments that he had on wednesday from both President Biden and Donald Trumps Running Mate, j. D. Vance. Take a listen determined to ensure that ukraine has what it needs to prevail in its fight for Survival Tomorrow i will now its a series of actions to accelerate support for ukraines military but we know ukraines future victory is about more than what happens on the battlefield. Look, it is not in americas interests. Its not in ukraines interest. Its not in Europes Interest for this war to go on. But look, i dont, i dont appreciate zelenskyy come into this country and telling the american taxpayers what they ought to do. He ought to say, thank you to the american taxpayers so because of this, perhaps more than when it was initially planned, there is a lot riding on this meeting with biden today. Theres just over a month ago to the u. S. Election. Biden says he wants to sort of Fast Track military aid, but of course, congress holds the keys to any more military aid. Getting through longtime security guarantees, there as well . Hell be meeting with the House Minority Leader hakeem jeffries, but mike johnson, the house majority leader, who is of course the key player here, is now not scheduled to meet with zelenskyy. Okay. Clare, thank you. Millions in the southeastern us are bracing for Hurricane Helene. The huge storm could bring Catastrophic Winds rain, and Storm Surge as well.

More than 86 Million people across five states in the southeast are under a tropical Storm Or Hurricane watches and Warnings Helene is churning in the southern Gulf Of Mexico right now and heading towards florida. The massive storm with Tropical Stormforce winds extending up to 345 miles and miles from the center and is expected to make landfall later today as a category four hurricane with Catastrophic Winds and Storm Surge the mayor of tampa, florida tells cnn her city is doing all it can to prepare for the onslaught we have our Emergency Shelters open, we have evacuation of zone a, everything that is on the waterfront. We have mandatory of action in those Locations Police officers going around advising everyone they need to get out of those areas we have distributed 50,000 sandbags to residents and for those of us who are born and raised in florida, were used to these hurricanes. But were one of the fastestgrowing cities then the nation. And so we have a lot of people that arent used to them. So were really trying to overcommunicate and get people to heed the warnings Hurricane Helene lashed parts of cuba and mexicos Yucatan Peninsula earlier on wednesday, heavy Rainfall Flooded Parts of cancun and surrounding areas and strong winds from the storm knocked out power to thousands of people in cubas western province. Cnns Patrick Oppmann reports now from havana the worst of Hurricane Helene appears to have passed through cuba. But for much of the day on wednesday, this part of the island, the western most and the youve been central parts of cuba were rocked by heavy winds and rain and flooding. In western cubas still has some homes cut off, according to officials, there but 50,000 people in the western Cubas Province of Pinar Del Rio are still without power and it could take days of for electricity to be restored. There all those same though, many cubans helped, they missed the worst of this powerful hurricane. It did not make a direct hit on cuba as it traveled between, you cannot come inside and western most cuba, it does not appear though that florida is going to be as lucky though panhandle are western heart of florida are looking to be hit by a powerful category four hurricane. That is what forecasters are saying that helene could strengthen ndu. And that is a kind of hurricanes that can bring absolutely devastating Storm Surge two coastal areas can knock out power for weeks, take down a heavy trees and power lines. So residents are being urged to take final preparation as a storm, much more powerful than The One Hit Huba takes aim at florida. Patrick oppmann, cnn, Havana Israel is continuing its strikes on lebanon despite a new push for a pause in fighting, the idf says it struck about 75 new targets overnight that happened hours after the u. S. And its allies put out a threeweek Ceasefire Proposal that Israel And Hezbollah diplomats are concerns that the fighting between them could escalate into an all out war. Meanwhile Israels Army Chief now says a potential Ground Incursion into lebanon is on the table, but iran is making it clear it wont stay on the sidelines. If a full Scale War breaks out early today, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deport, departed for New York where hes expected to address the Un General Assembly. But theres israeli official told cnn this Ceasefire Talks are the main reason for his trip for the latest, lets head over to Hong Kong where were joined by ivan watson. How do you interpret . This trip. First of all, to New York and then take us through what you see happening on the Ground Right . Well, in israeli official has told cnn that the israeli prime Ministers Trip to New York is in part to conduct diplomacy and that he gave basically some kind of a green light to engage in this us and french lead diplomatic initiative which the u. S. President Joe Biden referred to, take a listen to what he had to say about this last Ditch Effort to try to create a he 21 Day Ceasefire statement 21 Day Ceasefire along the israeli lebanese border youre able to generate significant support from europe as well as you have before the war now wiped but of course its critical max, what will the two warring parties say about this proposal that is the powerful lebanese militia, hezbollah and the israeli government. We have not heard any official response from hezbollah on the part of israel. The prime Minister Hasnt said anything publicly about this, but there are a number of important political voices in israel that have already come out criticizing it or condemning it for Example Netanyahus own finance minister, the hard right line politician, bezalel smotric. He put out a statement on twitter where he basically said that hezbollah should not be given time to recover from the heavy blows at has received and two, then reorganize for the continuation of a war for 21 days he said that surrender of hezbollah or war, thats the only way well return our residents and security to the north of the country. And from the other side of the political spectrum, the leader of the opposition in israel, geyer lapid. He put out a statement saying that israel should accept the Ceasefire Proposal, but only for seven days in order not to allow his bullet to restore its Command And Control systems.
