Lets go now to the Middle East where this morning there are increasing fears that an all Out Regional War is coming after sure. Israeli airstrikes hit within the City Limits Of Beirut For The First Time in a long time, the strike overnight hit a major intersection and just a short time ago, hezbollah announced that the Terror Group will be naming a new leader to succeed Hassan Nasrallah as soon as possible is how they put it. And noteworthy, the first anniversary of hamass October 7 Terror Attack on israel, that hezbollah supported is now just one week from today. Cnns Ben Wedeman is live in beirut at the scene of these latest strikes. Ben, tell me what youve seen, what youre seeing, and what youre hearing were apartment, the sixth floor of this building . Totally destroyed the according to the ministry how four people were killed and the popular front for the liberation of palestine, a palestinian faction says if three of their members were killed now its significant that the pflp really hasnt been very active in this war, certainly from lebanon, but nonetheless, plus israel took those men out in the early hours of the morning. What is also significant about this strike is it . First time since hostilities ramped up that there has been a strike outside the southern suburbs of beirut where hezbollah has a large presence so what we also heard in within the last two hours, he was from naim qassem, whos the one of the senior debt happy pds of Hassan Nasrallah, who gave what appears to have been a recorded speech in which he didnt seem to be indicating any willingness of his bola to cease fire to agree to a ceasefire. He said that as far as the organization goes, despite repeated Body Blows of course, the killing of the leader of the group. He said, we did not collapse. We are going on despite the pain and sacrifices. He said hezbollah will continue confronting israel in support of the palestinian people, gaza and the people of lebanon. So no indication from his bullets at this point that its going to change course despite the blows it has sustained. In the last two weeks im from there, Ben Wedeman on the ground for us. Ben.

And well get the news of the week and asked questions like, what does a Comedy Show doing on cnn thats too much but i want donald now, can you slice that i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn or a new this morning, sources tell cnn the governor Tim Walz is nervous ahead of his debate against senator j. D. Vance. That debate is Tomorrow Night. He is nervous, apparently that he will let Vice President Kamala Harris down lets get right to cnns isaac dovere isaac, this is your reporting. What have you heard well, thats right. John logo right now. Weve got Tim Walz in Debate Camp in michigan doing the final preparations ahead of Tomorrow Nights showdown with j. D. Vance. Hes got Pete Buttigieg in there playing j. D. Vance, campaign made a point of telling folks last night that buttigieg as well wearing a cheap red tie, he has not grown a beard adds, its not full method as he gets into this prep in the final stages here. But walz is someone who has been in politics a long time. I were back in august when harris picked him that one of the things that he said in their Vetting Interview was, im not a good debater and ill tell you from reporting that i done since as you mentioned, he has continued to be nervous about this debate, really feeling like he needs to think about all the things of how he gets his points across. It gets it into two minutes. What is Resting Phase Looks like when hes not speaking and all of that because he really is number one devoted to the idea that donald Trump Cant get back to the White House, and that he doesnt want to let Kamala Harris down, make sure that she feels like hes done his work for her. So in introducing her and continuing to talk about her work as the prospective president here and making sure that thats the role that he has as the running mate. But even last week, i was in New York at a fundraiser that Tim Walz was doing at an apartment there, and he said, after i left the room, i heard he said to someone who asked Hows Debate prep going and said, look, i was trained as a teacher, as a teacher were trained to answer the questions tell our students to answer the questions. Thats not what this is. So walz really trying to fit himself into this somewhat awkward always thing of a nationally televised debate. Big risk people to judge, not growing the beard for the debate prep. That we will see. We will see maybe what it all comes down to. Its going to come down to the beer isaac, that is interesting performing. One wonders if its expectation setting, but we shall see terrific work. Thank you. What weve seen when men who have grown up beards, who shouldnt, what it looks like. It could have been Career Ending for you. A cautionary tale maybe youll see it soon enough. Just give john on a long enough vacation, which will never be allowed back. How the Harris Campaign is now targeting Donald Trump and j.
