And today we are marking one year since the barbaric Hamas Terror Attack on israel. The deadliest day for the jewish people since the holocaust. On this day last year, 1,200 innocent people were murdered, countless others were raped and beaten and more than 250 people were taken to gaza as hostages. The pain is still palpable site of the nova music festival, where hundreds of young people who came to dance a year ago were instead slaughtered the horrors of that day still haunt so many across israel we lost. You still evan accept that shes gone you know, once something happens, you know that it can you Al Owaysf your can happen again . They killed my sister over there its a trauma of living in a house where were vicious terrorists invaded terrorists in Gaza Outside Benjamin Netanyahus Residence in jerusalem today, as devastated and exhausted families urge the israeli Prime Minister to bring their Loved Ones home to begin our coverage with cnns Erin Burnett, who is in Tel Aviv. Erin were here right now at whats called Hostage Square and i know youve seen this so many times there are members of the public like people morning, there were a group of young men from a yeshiva school singing. All of them. Here to grieve to heal hope for the return of those hostages, 97 people who were taken hostage on October 7, one year ago today are still in gaza. Is that right now the latest . We understand is a third to a half of them may not be alive. It is an incredible tragedy and their families still do not know and what youre hearing behind me, dana this this is just the beginning of its going to be a very large Video Screen that is going to be brought broadcast across Tel Aviv. There are thousands of families nearby at ya con square. There were going to be dana about 40,000 people where there could be many people gathering in this, as i said, the public location, but they were allowed to be 40,000. That was dramatically scaled back because Israel Course is not a country just grieving. Its a country at war, a war on the north. He war in gaza, a war with iran. All of that going on, sirens of course, across Tel Aviv just within in the past hour, dana is there were ballistic missiles apparently coming in, perhaps from yemen. Those were intercepted, but everything lights up, read people have to go to a shelter. Theyre prepared to go to a shelter here if they need to, theres a plan thats been told to everyone in this square and that is the reality of the life that theyre living every day. As now, dana, as they grieve in these early moments of darkness there is the Possibility Israel will choose tonight as its nice to strike iran without imminent strike, that. The u. S. Has been prepared for and searched 40,000 troops over these months to the region to support Support Israel and its defense after that, anticipated an Attack And Attack dan, of course, is that we all know could come at any moment with very little warning even as israel tonight, grief and erin, just quickly before i let you go, how was what you just described the reality of the multifront, a war going on right now affecting this day is absolutely horrible day of remembrance. And the scene that you are a part of right now. You know, there are people as you as you showed at the top of your our there is grieving and there is crying. Theres an incredible feeling and of sobriety. And yet dana, i will tell you being along the frontlines in the north as we have been in recent days, where there is the constant thud of artillery on average one a minute going out. And the projectiles coming in even today, as i said, across the north than here in Tel Aviv, along the gaza strip. The reality is dana, there is a feeling of it is time to go hard hit harder than israel was just hit. That is the feeling of those soldiers in the north, some of whom we met in a Ghost Town where its just basically a temporary barracks near those soldiers are ready to go. Theyve served in gaza over the past 12 months there now up along the lebanese border, Tens Of Thousands of them. And they want to go in and they want to go in and they want a win they want to hit hard, theres just a feeling of visceral anger, but dana, there isnt really anyone who could define at this point what winning actually means. And thats the real question for the War Cabinet in then the israelis as theyre trying to make those final decisions on Strike Targets under pressure from the biden administration to perhaps scale that back as those final negotiations are going down the reality here is its a country ready to win. That doesnt really even know what that word means wow, really . Powerful reporting. Erin, were lucky to have you there. I appreciate it thank you so much for that and here in the united states at the White House, President Biden is remembering the victims by lighting a Yard Site Candle that is a jewish custom to honor the dead cnns Arlette Saenz is there are let what are you hearing from President Biden today well, dana, President Biden this morning spoke by phone with israeli president Isaac Herzog Head of holding a Candlelight Ceremony here at the White House to commemorate this Summer Day of the October 7 attacks. And President Biden did not deliver for remarks today. Instead, opting to hold this candle lighting ceremony. He was joined by my first lady, jill biden, as well as rabbi erin alexander, who prayed for the soles of the holy ones, men, women, and children who were killed on October 7. Thats worth noting that Rabbi Elie Xander is actually a friend of the family of hersh goldbergpolin, who was killed by hamas in captivity in late august. It really adds a very poignant and personal touch to, to todays remembrances. President biden is using this day to once again renew his calls for a ceasefire its Fire Deal between hamas and israel saying that he wants to ensure that they can get these hostages back home for their families and get more humanitarian aid into gaza, as well as find an end to this war. He said in that statement, israelis washington, a pomegranate tree, which for jews represents Hope And Righteousness trump did two radio interviews this morning where he attacked the bidenharris administrations handling of the war later today, hell participate in memorial events in New York and florida, joining me at the table to discuss all of this. Cnns Jeff Zeleny and Priscilla Alvarez and the atlantics she spoke with representative Brad Sherman of california. He said something that was kind of jaw dropping, but very instructive. He said, youre fighting on eight fronts. And on one of those fronts, youre not winning the eighth front is World Opinion and opinion in the united states, particularly the left half of the united states, the israelis have to win the eighth front look im ways was telling of that. I will also just say that when were watching the developments over the last year, the statements that were put out by the president and the Vice President Today for indicated that it put a pin in that because not only was it the first half of the semen saying israel has a right to defend itself and we need to think of the jewish people today, but also included in that was the situation in gaza and the palestinians, anything thats sort of set a marker as to how much is this evolved on the question of where the boats are. Were not talking about the biggest populations in this country, i mean theyre very small boat the and especially the jewish population in these keys states. But youve mentioned that people are maybe you did trying to take advantage that those people, that person is Donald Trump again, this morning, Donald Trump used language that ill give context to. On the other side, listen nobodys done more for the jewish people than i have nobodies and more for asia as a president , maybe beyond being a president to be on golan heights, i move the capital and did the iran nuclear deal. I should get 100 presents of the jewish vote and i adults, its amazing. October 7 never would have happened if i was there and frank, he says that and then he says, jews have to get their head examined if they vote for the democrats, which is waiting into an age old trope that jews have a dual idea dual national identity. Yeah. And yet there are some dos who listened to that, who look at the Statement Today or others by the jews for his election defeat, for adding that thats right. We know the way when he blames people for his defeats, that oftentimes it instigated violence against them. But i think one bitter irony of this whole thing for the biden administration for Kamala Harris is a kit kat. Is that one of the perils of incumbency is that you get blamed by all sides. So you have Arab Americans who said theyre going to vote for trump as a protest. And you have a lot of jews who were going to vote for trump to protest what they see is softness on the Israel Question by the administration. Yeah. Scapegoat is key. When you say, if i lose, its the fault, i mean yeah, thats by Definition Escape go. Okay. Everybody dont go anywhere because Coming Up, we do have breaking news, Hurricane Milton is strengthening into a category five storm.

It rapidly intensified all morning right now it has meantime, 160 miles per hour. Gusts are nearing 200 as it sits 700 miles away from tampa it is just mindboggling. We went to sleep last night and it was a category one hurricane. And look at how it just increase the wins in this thing. Ive increased nearly 100 miles per hour in just 24 hours old, fueled by incredibly warm Ocean Temperatures in the gulf of mexico. Now as it heads towards florida, it will start to weaken some, but were still looking at a major Hurricane Making Landfall on the West Coast of florida, where we have these Hurricane Watches in effect right now, we are incredibly worried about the threat of damaging winds, incredibly heavy Rain And Storm surge. It looks like the most destructive winds could be right around the Tampa Bay Area down toward Sarasota And Fort myers, that would put some of the biggest Storm Surge totals in the areas that got record Storm Surge in helene, eight to 12 feet of Storm Surge in the Tampa Bay Area would be something that they have never seen before. And something that eclipses the damage that was done in helenes. So something we need to watch incredibly closely as milton just continues to gain strength, dana, police said, wow, i mean, if you just showing us those those images, but also how quickly as you said at the beginning, this has gone from a cat one to it looks like a cat five, very, very scary. Thank you so much. And the biden administration is blasting Donald Trumps barrage of lies in the wake of Hurricane Helene, the former president , is falsely accusing federal Relief Agencies of maliciously withholding and misusing aid take a listen. A lot of the money that was supposed to go to georgia and supposed to go to North Carolina and all of the others is going and has gone already has been god for people that came into the country illegally. We give foreign countries hundreds of billions of dollars and were handing North Carolina seven then hundred and 50 if you want a president who wont even try to save you when the floodwaters are rising. Vote for Kamala Criswell said, minutes ago, flatly, what you just heard is not true. There are rumors and their lives and they are hurting the very people that thousands of Fema Emergency responders are trying to help as we speak the room. I mean, what it does is it really affects the morale of our people who are trying to get into communities in fact. I would, say is people that have been impacted are afraid to apply for assistance. If I Cant get them to apply, I Cant give them the money in the region sources that theyre eligible for the panel is back and presale. I know you have some reporting on this. I will just say that i had lara trump, the former president s daughterinlaw, but also cochair of the rnc on shes a native North Carolinian and we went back and forth about this and its just not stopping its not ive covered female department alleged security for many years and what is being conflated here are two completely separate pots of money. There is money that is a Disaster Relief funds that we often talk about in this Phase And Rescue and recovery. And then there is a Shelters Program that is money that goes to shelters who are helping and housing migrants. I have spoken to multiple Homeland Security officials about this. The money has not been and never has been transferred over. And it is monies that are authorized by congress all of this to say that when i have been talking to my sources about what the former president is saying the ultimate concern is that people will not apply for assistance. As you heard there from the Fema Administrator because they believe there is no money. So what is being said has the Realworld Effect of people refraining from applying for the help that they can receive through fema when these two pots of money are unrelated to one another . Its raw politics and dangerous politics without question. And look, weve seen this from the former president before, but not, in the moment watching this when there literally are still a Search And Rescue missions in some of the mountains of western North Carolina. It is absolutely really dangerous, but it also just gives you the sense of he is preparing. North carolina is a Swing State and theres a lot of worry underneath the Rescue And Recovery from both sides how this will impact the election, right . And these comments are not obviously helpful, but also the blame is big beginning in North Carolina and not for nothing. A lot of the people who are believing these lies are Trump Voters who are not getting help because theyre believing Conspiracy Th
