hello and thanks for staying up with us. i'm matt pieper in new york, and here are some of the stories on "cbs news roundup." the dueling presidential campaigns are leaning into policy and promises, especially in the battleground states. ukraine acknowledges for the first time that its troops are now fighting inside russian territory. and the u.s. is sending more ships to the middle east amid fears of an iranian attack against israel. we begin, though, with the race for president. vice president kamala harris is heading into the week with new support from west coast donors after a major fund-raiser in san francisco. it was a less active weekend for former president donald trump, with no public events. but he was active on social media. cbs's skyler henry leads us off at the white house. >> reporter: the trump-vance ticket went on the offensive this weekend slamming vice president harris's nevada play from their campaign playbook. >> it is my promise to everyone

here, when i am president we will continue our fight for working families of america. including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers. >> reporter: in a flurry of criticisms former president donald trump posted on social media claiming harris's pitch was plagiarized, saying the theft comes after the culinary union endorsed his no tax on tips plan. on reproductive rights senator j.d. vance, the republican vice presidential nominee, says he's standing with trump, telling "face the nation" he wants abortion access left to the states. >> when states and voters in those states make decisions, we of course want the states and the federal government to respect those decisions. >> reporter: today democratic vice presidential nominee tim walz pounced on the comments. >> whether you'd make the same decision or someone else, just mind your own damn business.

>> reporter: president biden talked talked kplufszly did b. the state of the election on sunday morning, his first sit-down interview since withdrawing from the race, reflecting on the core reason behind his decision. >> a number of my democratic colleagues in the house and senate thought that i was going to hurt them in the races. >> the most important thing we have to do is to win the election to sustain his legacy and to have the legacy be to do even more in the presidency and the vice presidency of kamala harris and tim walz. >> reporter: for the first time a new poll out today shows that harris narrowly leads trump when it comes to handling the economy. that far outweighs president biden. however, 42% of voters say that they would be much better off financially under trump compared to 33% under harris. skyler henry, cbs news, the white house. ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy has

confirmed that his forces are now battling for control of russian territory. during an address to his nation zelenskyy said the surprise cross-border offensive in russia's kursk region is an attempt to, quote, push the war out into the aggressor's territory. cbs's ian lee has the latest developments. >> reporter: russian planes bombing russian territory, targeting ukrainian troops. six days ago kyiv launched the largest attack into russia since world war ii, reportedly pushing up to 20 miles into the kursk region. it caught the kremlin off guard. this video taken by ukrainian unit reportedly shows a large number of russian soldiers surrendering. another online post appears to show a destroyed russian military convoy. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy broke his silence. saying the operation is to restore justice and to push the war on the aggressor's

territory. but if you believe moscow's top general, everything is under control. russia declared a state of emergency in the affected region while also releasing videos of it striking back, like this one, reportedly hitting a ukrainian tank. at a security council meeting on thursday russian president vladimir putin downplayed the invasion, calling the fight a counterterrorism operation. but local russian residents posted their own videos begging the kremlin for help. moscow says it's evacuated more than 76,000 civilians out while moving heavy armor and missile launchers in. on the other side of the border in ukraine russia continues its indiscriminate attacks. on friday a missile hit a supermarket near the front line in the donetsk region, killing more than a dozen people. ian lee, cbs news, london. turning now to the middle east, where israel remains on high alert for a possible strike by iran or one of its allies.

the u.s. is ordering the "uss lincoln" aircraft carrier to speed up its journey to the region, plus a u.s. navy guided missile submarine is also on its way to the middle east. this all comes as hamas is threatening to drop out of cease-fire negotiations with israel over the war in gaza, preferring instead the cease-fire plan that president biden first unveiled back in may. over the weekend an israeli air strike at a school complex housing displaced families killed at least 100 people. that was according to the hamas-run gaza health ministry. cbs's debora patta spent time with the head of the u.n. agency that's providing aid to palestinian refugees in gaza. >> it's the worst thing i've ever seen by far. and i've never seen anything like this scale of destruction. >> reporter: after retiring from the military scott anderson took a u.n. job in gaza. he had found his calling. >> all these soft skills that you develop in the military really lend themselves quite well to being a humanitarian,

and i find great i guess satisfaction in helping people. >> how are you doing this morning, miranda? >> reporter: he's been in gaza almost constantly since the war began. >> it's almost like being in a dystopian science fiction movie set when you drive around gaza. >> reporter: and he's witnessed firsthand the desperate shortage of medical supplies in hospitals overwhelmed with casualties. >> they were trying to clean blood off the floor with water. and a lot of wounds that people could normally get treated and survive would most likely develop sepsis because of the unclean environment. >> reporter: israel wants to declare unrwa a terrorist organization after accusing 12 of its staff members of being involved in the october 7th hamas attack. they were all fired immediately. >> thank you very much. very nice to meet you. >> reporter: while there have been dark moments for anderson, there's also joy. [ applause ]

>> the very best part of this job is education. i think it's the most important thing we do. it sets the stage for these children to achieve their dreams. and it is without a doubt my favorite part of the job is to be with children. >> reporter: at the end of the day palestinians trapped in this war, he says, are no different from americans. >> they have dreams just like we do. they want the best for their children just like we do. they're human beings, just like everybody else is. with the same needs, the same desires, and the same ambitions. >> reporter: debora patta, cbs news, east jerusalem. >> looking for the joy. when "cbs news roundup" continues, we'll meet the people in paris collecting historic sports equipment for the olympic museum. we'll be right back.

to switzerland at the end of the games so the artifacts can be shown among the museum's collection. a living history of olympic glory. >> it's really special because from a piece of equipment or like you know, a tennis racket it becomes a part of history and an object in the museums which is treated with gloves and really to try and keep it for as long as we can. and that's quite an honor because that's what will be remembered in 20 years, 100 years hopefully. >> that was dana jacobsson in paris.
