Remarkable individual, remarkable. He still is remarkable indictment, happy birthday, mr. President. Thanks to our panel. Thanks guys for joining us as well. Im kasie hunt. Dont go anywhere. Cnn new central starts right now overnight. Israel launches a Ground Incursion into lebanon this morning. New reports on how far they will go in the White House response. Also breaking tonight Tens Of Thousands of workers at ports across the country have walked off the job, stopping the flow of countless good that igniting fears. This could set back the economy let me and potentially spike inflation and say it with me, friends. Its Debate Day in america. Once again, the first and only Vice President ial debate. This its Election Season is tonight and possibly the final debate of the entire president ial campaign. Im kim Kate Bolduan with John Berman and sara sidner. This is cnn news central dangerous new phase in Israels War against hezbollah overnight is israeli forces cross the border into Southern Lebanon. They are calling it a limited good Ground Operation and israel insists there will be no longterm occupation, but it has not provided a timeline for its offensive. The last time Israel Forces entered lebanon was back in 2006 am 1,100 people died in that 34 day war. Israels Ground Offensive defies pressure from the u. S. To reach a ceasefire. Just yesterday, Defense Secretary Lloyd austin spoke with his israeli counterpart hours earlier, President Biden told reporters, we should have a ceasefire now, the White House is reaffirming israels right to defend itself, but its warm morning of the real risk of mission creep. This is all playing out of horses. Israeli forces also targeted Syrias Capital with drones and planes diplomatic editor, Nic Robertson is in northern israel for us this morning. What have you been seeing and what else are you learning now that israel has also struck syria along with lebanon. And of course the war in gaza still oh ongoing targeted. Thats how the idf is characterizing these raids as they put them across the border there saying that troops may be going across tens of meters to houses, maybe 100 meters maybe a few hundred meters. They are not saying if tanks are crossing the border, the description that was given to us was that the troops were sort of Walking Distance across the border. We know that tanks have been at the border. We know that Armored Personnel Carriers have been at the border. We understand that the letter the Bunnies Army at Border Post has pulled back from those Border Post. The idf has it through their arabic Language Spokesman reached out a message to the people living in villages in the south of lebanon. Dozens of villages theyre telling them to move many miles further north, 30 miles further north from where they are. In fact, the message is more wide ranging than that. It is saying that hezbollah is using your homes as protection to hide behind you, move northwards any vehicle moving south in this more than 30 mile zone, just over the border inside lebanon, any vehicle moving south, the idf says could be considered hostile and therefore, it would be dangerous so although the idf is creating sort of trying to create this wide codon to prevent hezbollah reinforcing at the border at the moment they wont say if the troops over the border will stay over there tonight, will they come back . Will they be reinforced by more the impression that the idf is creating is that this only has a relatively small focus and that focus its to stop hezbollah having basis literally 100 meters or so from the border, from which they can fire missiles into israel. And when we say basis, we mean civilian houses, small military compounds that sort of thing in israel today, two people were injured by missiles fired by hezbollah. Very close to tel aviv, just north of tel aviv. One of them, a Bus Driver taken to Intensive Care in a nearby hospital alright. Nic robertson, theres so much going on in that region. Thank you so much for being there to you and your team also Breaking Overnight, nearly 50,000 Port Workers are on strike as of this morning. And what could become the most disruptive Work Stoppage in decades . Members of the Longshoremans Union are Walking Picket Lines now to demand higher wages, the strike is taking place at 14 different different ports, major ports all along the East Coast and through the Gulf Coast. Why this could have such a big impact is theres really no practical or two alternative to the east and Gulf Coast ports for moving goods out of these ports to like basically the eastern half of the country. Cnns Vanessa Yurkevich is in new jersey. Shes got much more on this. What whats happening behind you and where do things stand with this strike and Talks Clock ran out Last Night at midnight and now you have Tens Of Thousands of Dock Workers on strike this morning, just here alone to the Port Authority of New York and new jersey. They employ over 4,000 Union Members and many of them on strike thank here this morning for the first time in 47 years after the union and the u. S. Maritime alliance could not come up with a deal before midnight just to show you some of whats going on around me over here, over my righthand shoulder. You have contained painters that are piled up. These are empty no one though, is going to be picking them up and loading them because of the members on strike behind me right here. You have a couple of hundred of them out here since early this morning than if you take a look over my Lefthand Shoulder those are the ports. Those are the docks. They are essentially closed nothing going in, nothing going out. Now, kate, this all comes down to money, wages, and job security. Many of the members behind me are holding signs saying just that they want to make sure that theyre getting paid appropriately and they want to make sure their Job Obs are secure. Listen to the president of the Ila Union just last month talking about what theyre fighting for draw the line. These companies that Work Maritime Business come from overseas. Now, water belongs To America they want to come in To America and build fully automated arose and get rid of american jobs good paying jobs that support families would medical pensions, annuities, and pay taxes. They want to get rid of them and usmx says that theyve made an offer of up to 50 in wage increases over six years, as well as keeping language in the current contract that would help Stop Automation of jobs but the union saying that is not enough. Now, in terms of this port, a lot of fruit and vegetables come into this court. Youre talking about cherries, fresh fruit, Charles Auckland alcohol, also going out. You have auto parts that are being shipped across seas. None of that happening right now. As for the biden administration, they are monitoring this its very, very closely. They say are they are, they are in touch with both sides. One thing that Business Leaders around the country and the u. S. Chamber of commerce is calling for, is for President Biden to invoke the tafthartley act. That is a way that he could protect that the president could potentially stop this strike. However, President Biden says, he is not looking to do that right now. Kate. Alright, lets see what happens today. Thank you so much, Vanessa Jump all right.

People are watching and then our World Change he, had an explosive Reverberation Tv On The Edge sunday at nine On Cnn so kate is indisposed at the moment, but if she were here, she would say it is Debate Day in america, Vice President ial Debate Day. In fact, tim Walz And J. D. Vance will face off i think i hear her back there. This will be their first time on stage together, likely the first time millions will ever see them debate, but quite possibly the last general Election Debate at all this year. You all a new Cbs News Poll finds 87 of voters will be watching to learn something about them. Cnns priscilla alvarez, just up this drink at the Debate Site here in New York. What can we expect priscilla this is going to be High Stakes and uncharacteristically because it is likely the last debate of this election cycle. And because the race is still so close so governor Tim Walz, hes been in a Debate Camp in michigan thats where hes been going over videos of jd vances previous debates and also doing mock sessions with standins, transportation secretary, pete buttigieg. Now, as you mentioned, there this is an opportunity for voters to get to know these campaigns better. And one of his tasks will also be to convince voters of Vice President Kamala Harris, particularly those voters still say in polls that they dont know enough about her. Now, j. D. Vance, he is more experienced a width debates. In fact, it was his Debate Performance during a republican primary for a us Senate Seat that impressed former President Donald Trump. And he too has been doing Debate Prep and house majority whip, Tom Emmer has been the standard for Tim Walz. Now, whats this going to look like . Some Debate Rolls to go through here. No live audience. Theyll both be standing behind podiums and theyll have those two minutes. Closing arguments. Of course you can imagine the issues are going to range the gamut youre the economy, israel immigration immigration and Health Care. But in many ways, john, this theres also a reminder of how much this president ial election has changed. It was only over three months ago that this debate was being Eyed By Vice President Kamala Harris because she was The One that was preparing they go up against j. D vance. So this campaign had been preparing for this bowman and all parties know how stakes its going to be just so close to election day. John how is the Harris Campaign viewing this moment . Priscilla been talking to Harris Aides who say what they want from Tim Walz is for him too. Come across as the every man for him to lean into his likability and all them tell me, guess he doesnt have the same Debate Performance as j. D. Vance but theyre hoping that that part of that personality of Tim Walz can show the stark contrast with j. D. Vance and then ultimately its about tying vance to for President Donald Trump and casting and as just as much of a risk, now, the Vice President , she was in Las Vegas On Sunday where she said that shed be cheering on Governor Walz. Shes going to be Behind Closed Doors today. They and she will be watching from her residence. John. All right. Priscilla alvarez, youre about 20 blocks away. Come say hi. When youre done there.
