that was just a self-inflicted wound in everyone focuses out and said this defines who vice president quayle is and how his mind works in that's that's nonsense. >> well, let me just say to all my critics and two years two and to all the american people, i stand before you on unbowed unbroken and more determined than ever to stand up for our values and be sure to tune in tv on the edge moments that shaped our culture or premieres tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn all right. >> thank you so much for joining me today. i'm fredricka whitfield, the cnn newsroom with jessica dean starts right now >> the cnn newsroom. i'm

jessica dean in new york and we begin today with vice president kamala harris agreeing to a october 23rd. of course, just days before the election, harris is now challenging her political rival to another face-to-face showdown. but it's trump up for more. we're going to have more on that just a moment. also day trump is campaigning in the key battleground state of north carolina as the republican candidate for governor in that state faces a major scandal. with just 45 days to go until election day. cnn's steve contorno is live in wilmington, north carolina, where trump just wrapped up that rally. >> see first off, what did trump say about the possibility of this second debate with vice president harris? jessica donald trump wasted little time telling this crowd what he thinks of our offer for another debate. he said no, thank you. he said it's way too close to the election. and while vice president harris is eager to debate because she's called losing badly, he sees no reason to do it. take a listen to what he told this crowd

good entertainment value, a lot of people do it, it's great entertainment. i've already done to the problem with another debate is that it's just too late. voting is already started. she's had her chance to do it with fox, no, fox invited us on and i waited why did and they turned it down. they turned it down. but now she wants to do a debate right before the election with cnn because she's losing badly. it's too late to do another i'd love to in many ways, but it's too late will point out that trump has participated in october debates in both of his previous elections. he did one against dough by joe biden on october 22 of 2020, and he had to october debates against hillary clinton in 2016. jessica, we're not sure exactly what's different this go around, but it looks like we're not going to have any more debates very interesting also, steve,

republican gubernatorial candidate mark robinson was notably not at the rally in north carolina today. >> did trump say anything about this man who he's endorsed for governor he did not. >> and as you said, he was not here, he also wasn't invited, which was interesting we've seen because he has made several appearances with donald trump in the tar heel state in the past. what i found really compelling though, is not only was he not here, but he wasn't talked about, not just by trump, by by the all the other republicans who spoke ahead of trump. we had several state leaders here talking about the need to elect trump and to elect republicans up and down the ballot. but notably, mark robinson's name was not mentioned by any of them. >> and steve trump did appear to be worried about this gender gap. we keep seeing in the polls when it comes to female voters. >> that's right coming into today, he posted this long message on truth social speaking directly to women voters telling them that they were quote, poor, less healthy,

less safe more depressed, and less optimistic than they were four years, four years ago, it was quite a lengthy post and he actually read it almost wordrd for word during today's speech. >> and he continued to insist that they will issue of abortion should no longer be on the table because this is now being handled by the states. >> of course, some states have restricted abortion to the point that women are concerned about getting access to health care and whether they can get treatment if they are in dire need of health. that's something that vice president harris has made a central part of her campaign. but look, it's clear that the women's vote is something that trump is really worried about at this stage. age of the race, and take a look at these numbers in north carolina, 60% of women telling quinnipiac in a recent poll that they would support a harris over donald trump, and that margin between trump and the democratic ticket is larger than it was four years ago when it was trump versus biden. so clearly, he has some ground to make up they're in a state that is growing quickly changing fast and his because many new women voters, especially in

those suburban parts of the state count is certainly going to be one to watch, right? steve contorno for us there in wilmington on the trail. thanks so much. joining us now is former democratic congressman of ohio, tim ryan. congressman. thanks so much for being here with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> i want to start first in north carolina and the controversy surrounding the trump endorsed republican candidate for governor. there we've seen the harris campaign sees on this, they've released an ad tying trump to mark robinson what kind of an impact do you think this could all have on the presidential race? there in north carolina it's going to have a big impact. >> i mean, i think it shows it reaffirms a lot of this extremism the whole holier than thou kind of attitude that you're getting from the trump campaign and really embed with the weirdos. >> and i think that's what you saw coming from the gubernatorial candidate. there. all of the great things that trump said about him, who's

greater than martin luther king and all of that, i think that's going to hurt him badly in north carolina and may just be enough to tip it in the favor of the democrats when we were already running a really good campaign yeah, it is going to be such likely such a tight race there. i also want to broaden it out and talk a little bit more about this potential upcoming debate in october 23rd, we heard my colleague steve contorno reporting there saying that the former president says he thinks it's too late to do another debate with vice president harris on october 23, what do you make of that response from trump i think it plays into the fact that he's scared. i mean, he realized thank him and j.d. >> vance both behind the beard and the tan and hair dye and all that stuff like there's too scared little boys and he does not want to do do that again, just to remember the first debate against joe biden, trump won that debate significantly

and now the debate against kamala harris, even republicans were saying he got his clock cleaned. >> he wasn't prepared on and on and for him to now say he's not going to debate again, i think plays into this narrative, look, these, these guys are scared they're scared about everything they want you to be scared. they want you to be scared of immigrants. they want you to be scared of women making their own choices. they want you to be scared of another political party that's how they are. and so for him to be afraid to debate, i think place right along with that kind of theory of the case and i also want to talk about the rhetoric that's being used by the trump campaign in your state of ohio. >> obviously, we have seen so much fallout from that debate. and what was said on the debates stage about pets in springfield. and now to where we are today, the mayor of springfield this week granting himself temporary emergency powers to address bomb threats at schools and public buildings have been receiving what in

your mind is the bottom line fallout here within your, you're there in ohio what what are people saying and how are they responding to all of this? >> i think the response really is j.d. vance and donald trump. they don't care. they don't care what they say everyone's just a pawn in their game. and literally like bomb threats at schools, they don't care. bomb threats at universities. they don't care ban threats at city halls. they don't, they don't care it just shows that they're in an almost admitting that they made the story up and they just use this beautiful town of springfield, ohio as a pawn in their little game and that they still don't care. >> and i think behind me the kind of immigration thing, of course it's important. and how, that, how that happened and all behind all of that is people are coming to the

realization that they just don't give a damn about average people, they will use them. trump. did that in all his business dealings, j.d. vance did data when he started a fake opiate charity in ohio and said he was going to take care of people overdosing and didn't spend a nickel on i'm spent all the money on his own political operation and that campaign consultant, i'll pull that he ran out of his opiate charity for himself, like they don't care. and i think it's all in line with past behavior. >> and i think those are the kinds of issues that especially women and we're starting to see that resonate in the poll. >> but men two are like these guys are bsr is, and we need to move on. and as republicans, what i'm hearing a lot is we are voting for kamala harris, so we could begin the rebuilding of the republican party which as a democrat, i say how louis, thank god, let's, let's move in that direction. let's add to same political parties here i ten days from now, we're going to

have the vice presidential debate. >> you of course, debated j.d. vance during your senate race what should tim walz be expecting? are you helping them at all? are you advising him at all since you have debated j.d. vance in the past yeah i'm not going to comment on whether or not i'm helping, but i will say this you will hear j.d vance tried to probably ten governor walz and harris is extreme because that's been their go to move i think there's going to be very hard hard for people to believe that tim walz's some raging lunatic on political issues you so down-home that's such a great demeanor and a sense of humor but i think he's going to try to do that. >> tim walz. and again, he's going to try to incite fear. he's going to want everybody to be afraid of each other and all of these other issues that the thing that i think really doesn't happen from the wall side is he's can't let j.d vance get away with anything. he will try to lie. he will try to obfuscate. he will try to

muddy the waters. and he has to pin them down on those issues in real time. he will say things that i never said that. what she was famous for and our debates when there were videos or podcasts or whatever, can actually saying those things. so he's got to hold them to account in real time. >> and i think governor walz will do that in spades and he's going to do it with a very nice touch and a nice demeanor. >> and then sense of humor. so i'm very much looking forward to the debate. >> all right. well, we will we will all watch it. former congressman tim ryan, thanks so much for your time thank you. still to come election officials in the battleground state of georgia, making a controversial rule change despite objections from people in both parties. plus the man responsible we're keeping a kentucky judge safe is now charged with killing him. what we know about the sheriff who's sitting in a jail cell tonight. but first breaking news from the middle east it's where israel is warning civilians of a new attack from hezbollah as fighting between

blobby iranian backed terror group has suffered several major roads this week, which lebanese officials roundly blamed on israel on friday, israel said it killed one of hezbollah's top military commanders and an air strike that leveled an apartment building, killing at least 37 people. >> again, that's according to lebanese officials ben wedeman joining us now live from beirut, the lebanese capital. ben. what are you hearing there? and is this a level of conflict that people you're talking to? just have come to expect continue yes we're definitely since said tuesday, the level of escalation is reaching unprecedented levels. >> this evening. what we're seeing is a renewal of intense israeli airstrikes mostly on southern lebanon earlier in the afternoon, according to the lebanese official news agency within one hour period between one 30 and 2:30 p.m. there were

111 israeli airstrikes. now, the israeli military says that they struck 180 targets. what we have seen so far today is that hezbollah he's claiming 11 strikes on targets within israel. now, today we were at the funeral for three of the hezbollah fighters who were killed yesterday in that israeli airstrike on southern beirut. that's the third israeli airstrike on beirut since january. now the official death toll at this point is 37. although we are seeing reports that another body has been pulled from the ruins. now among those 37 are women and children. now, when we were at that funeral today, we spoke to people who conceded that this has been a very painful and difficult week for his bulah, but they insisted that they continue to support the

organization in what's known as its support front for gaza. now, yesterday, among the dead, of course, was ibrahim appeal who was one of the senior commanders of hezbollah who was killed then that strike along with about 6:15 other hezbollah fighters and commanders as well. we expect his funeral to be held tomorrow. jessica and ben, what has been the fallout from this week's stunning attacks using pagers and walkie-talkies as bombs, lebanese officials say they're still treating thousands of people affected in that yeah. >> row. the lebanese health system was briefly overwhelmed by these thousands of injuries and in addition to the physical he called damage caused by these. this unprecedented wave of electronic device attacks. there's the psychological effect that it has had oh on

people, because by enlarge the war has been restricted to the border area with notable exceptions. but release these attacks. and certainly yesterday strike on beirut. have really brought the war to the entire country basically, where you had these exploding pagers and. walkie-talkies. and of course now there is a growing sense that since october we've seen periods of intense attention followed by a somewhat relaxation of tensions but at this point, i think we are at the most intense period of worry that what we are on the brink of is perhaps a full scale war between lebanon and israel ben wedeman live in beirut tonight. >> thank you very much for that reporting. with us now, is michael oren, the former israeli ambassador to the

united states ambassador. thanks so much for being here with us this afternoon. we really appreciate it. >> good to be with you, jessica. hi and so we just heard that reporting from my colleague, ben wedeman, who's live in beirut to call this an escalation that we've seen over the last several days might even be an understatement in your opinion, is this at what point does this become full scale war? well, i think what's missing from all this discussion is context beginning on october 8, hezbollah opened fire on northern israel, totally unprovoked an attempt to show some type of solidarity with hamas's murderous attack on israel the previous day since that time, the entire northern part of israel has been under daily rocket and drone attack because 100,000 israelis have been rendered homeless, thousands of homes destroyed about 70,000 acres of farmland gone up in smoke, and dozens of people killed and wounded. so it's not really an escalation. it is a response to an unprovoked, unbridled

assault on the population of northern israel. and those rockets are falling with greater intensity and further south every day, the israeli government has to respond the united states is trying to undertake diplomacy. we hope it works if it doesn't, israel have to continue to take all possible measures to defend its northern population? >> do you think at this point diplomacy is? is it realistic? answer. >> well, i've been led a delegation of displaced israelis to washington am here in washington with them. we've been at both houses of congress, both parties for the last few days and yesterday were in the white house with senior security advisers to the president and to the vice president. and they assured me that they are very serious about proceeding with diplomacy. they couldn't tell us that whether the chances are greater, not but we assure them that israel would of course, prefer a diplomatic outcome. but minus that, we will actually have no choice. we are under relentless attack and we can't sacrifice northern galilee that area that's precious not to israelis, but to a great many people around

the planet, including this country. we can't do that. and this is not a very black and white situation, jessica, we've been attacked by a vicious terrorist organization that has killed not only great numbers of israelis, but as we now know, killed great numbers of americans as well. >> so walk me through israel strategy, fighting hezbollah in the north and how that is deferring or will differ from how they're fighting hamas mainly in gaza because they have now several fronts and to your point, have for, for many months now well, hamas has in gaza. >> it's underground under hundreds of miles of tunnels in gaza. >> and the goal, the goal in gaza is to degrade hamas to agree that can no longer threaten the state of israel. i think there's no illusion that we can defeat hezbollah as well as a massive organization is one of the biggest military forces in the world. it, has upwards of 170,000 rockets there, longer range, more accurate than anything in hamas's arsenal. and there are direct wing of iran. i think the oh, goal in lebanon for

israel is to push hezbollah back beyond what's called the litani river. it's about 13 miles from our border in accordance with the un resolution 1701, which was passed back in 2006. and hezbollah flagrantly violated that by moving right up to the israeli border. israeli citizens of that border areas will not go back to their homes if this terrorist organization is on the immediate side, other side of the fence. and now we know a terrorist can do to families if there on the other side of the fence. so i think that's going to be the goal to deter his bullet to stop the rocket, and the drone fire. and push hezbollah north of the litani river. >> and i also just want to get your take on the attack this week on hezbollah using the pagers of walkie-talkies they then exploded an injured and killed a number of hezbollah members, some rights groups have been quick to point out that might have not been okay under international law. >> but what is your take on all of it and how do you view both the intent of the operation and then how it was executed? well,

israel is taken no credit for this. we're not going to take credit for it. i'm not an official in the israeli government. i still will not take credit for it, but i scratch my head when people say that this is a violation of international law, somehow this is not in accordance with the rules of law by the same token, then taking out bin laden by seal team six was a violation of international there's no law. this is an organization that's dedicated to our destruction. it is not in favor. a two-state solution, is not in favor of peace. that's a branch of iran its spires to annihilate us. and you can't get a more pinpointed operation than this big claim would be that we are say would bomb a building that has a lot of civilians in order to get one terrorist. this was pretty much one operation for every terrorists. and these are our terrorists and that i think even under american law and hezbollah is recognized by the united states as a terrorist organization. this was not just a legitimate operation, it was a super legitimate operation. >> former ambassador michael oren, thanks so much for your

time. we appreciate it. >> thank you, jessica so a calm close to 100,000 arizona voters will now get full ballots in november after computer glitch threatened there are eligibility. >> we're going to have more on that here in the cnn newsroom erin burnett, outfront weeknights itself on cnn. if you're living with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or active psoriatic arthritis symptoms can sometimes hold you back but now they're sky resy so you can be all-in with clear scan things are getting resy you can show off with 90% clear skin. and if you have psoriatic arthritis, i really can help you with less join pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. >> sky resy is just four doses a year after two starter doses serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight

three people are all pit bulls fighting for honesty, transparency, and victory there fighting those three republicans on the georgia state election board, who donald trump praised at a campaign rally last month, charging ahead with a controversial new rule about hand-counting balance. so this leaves us in a very difficult position. do we maintain the status quo because it's easier or do we make a few adjustments so that we can be better, but it's not better for many bipartisan election officials across the state who begged the board to pause a new rules ahead of november. >> the idea that you're not going to listen to the individuals that are charged with conduct an elections is absurd to me, state officials from republican secretary of state brad raffensberger to attorney general chris carr. issued sharp warnings. thanks. several of the dozen rules the board is considering may run afoul of the law we're too close to electric. >> in fact, we're really just three weeks before we start early voting. and it's just too late in the cycle, the new rule doesn't help determine a

winner. rather, it requires a hand count of the number of ballots at polling places on the left objection. day. and then comparing the number of ballots cast with a number recorded by voting machines. critics say it's a recipe for chaos. if i were to hand this stack of paper to three random people in this room especially at the end of a long voting day and ask them to arrive at the same total number do we think that's feasible? people doing a hand-count are going to make mistakes, which can then be exploited to spread lies. raffensperger says the change could delay reporting results on election night, you start breaking up the ballot boxes after you closed precinct you won't be getting those election day votes until maybe 1:00, 2:00, or 4:00 in the morning. and we just don't believe that's healthy for the republic and we don't think it's healthy for people of georgia, the three trump backed republicans passed the rule. >> anyway, motion passes three to two independent chairman of the five-member ford, if this board votes to implement this role, i think that we've put ourselves in legal jeopardy.

>> and this new rule is almost certainly going to face legal challenges. and to that end, georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger put out a statement for the meeting saying attorney general chris carr has stated that these rules would not withstand a legal challenge, and i have worked every day to strengthen georgia's election law to ensure our elections remain safe, secure, and free so it's just a question at this point of where these legal challenges are going to come from. sara murray, cnn, washington sara, thank you. and coming up next hour, i'm going to speak to the lone democrat on that georgia election board about yesterday's vote and where they go from here again, that is in our next hour in the meantime, arizona's supreme court ruled on friday, nearly 100,000 residents may still vote for the full ballot even though their voter registration status wasn't out because of a clerical glitch. arizona uses separate ballots because it's voters must prove their citizenship before voting in state and local races, but they don't have to prove it for federal races, joining us now cnn's marshall cohen and marshall walk us through the implications this might have for the presidential race in

that battleground state hey, hey, jess the arizona supreme court last night, handed down this decision that does impact almost 100,000 voters, 98,000 to be exact. >> the question on the table was, will they be able to participate in the full election of federal races, state races, and local races. it is or would they have to get the federal only ballot? this was in question because of a clerical error or mistake, nothing nefarious, but just an accident, a glitch in the system that mistakenly marked down that they had already proven their citizenship, which would enable them to get a full ballot. women fact they had there was no record of them actually providing those documents to the officials. the decision from the arizona supreme court was that this is going to just everything will be left in place for this election. so these people will get the full ballot, which means in, addition to voting on the presidential race, they

will also be able to vote on state and local races including the all-important statewide referendum on abortion rights in arizona so this was a victory for the democratic secretary of state in arizona, adrian fontes he was arguing that the justices should come down with this decision, so they gave him what he was looking for. here's what he said to celebrate the ruling, jessica, quote, today marks his significant victory for those whose fundamental right to vote was under scrutiny. the court facing a stark choice. two, just allow voters to participate in just a few federal races on a limited ballot or to make their voices heard across hundreds of decisions on the full ballot. that includes a variety of state and local offices. so he was happy about the specific outcome, but everybody was happy. jessica, that decision was reached quickly. this glitch was discovered about a week ago. they quickly went to court as the justices to

clarify, and they handed down their decision yesterday. and now all the election officials are going to try to implement it. so nobody who wants to vote gets left out this here jessica and marshall also give us the latest on the system suspicious packages that have been sent to election offices. almost half the across, almost half the country. >> yeah, the number has been ticking up all week when we talk about the threats and the dangerous to election officials. >> this is what we're referring to. >> it became real this week when election offices in almost 25 states reported that they had received or had intercepted packages in the mail that were suspicious that caused in some cases, evacuations to some of these offices which couldn't come at a worse time, jessica, because this is gearing up now, voting is underway in some of these states. they can't be wasting their time standing outside while hazmat teams try to make sure that they're not facing potentially poisonous

materials and these envelopes, the fbi is investigating the initial indications are that these packages did not contain anything deadly are poisonous but in some respects, the damage has already been done. listen to this, jessica, this is karen brinson bell she is the executive director of the north carolina state board of elections, a critical battleground state. here's how this saga impacted her team this week it's things like wearing gloves. now when we process the mail, having an isolated area in case something's contaminated things that i really do add to the labor intensiveness of the volume of mail that's coming in. there's a lot to be processing and when we have to take these extra measures, it really adds to the workload and it really adds to do the anxiety that we have this executives could not be higher, but the good news is nobody got

and ended up killing district judge court kevin mullins. now, we don't know what the nature of the argument was, but we do know that at the very least these two men were known to each other. in fact, jessica in kentucky sheriffs are in charge of protecting and making sure that judges are are safe. here's what else we know about the sheriff his aim is sheriff stines. we know that he allegedly shot mullins following that argument inside the judge's chambers, he turned himself in afterwards and was arrested at the scene. and no one else was injured in that shooting and that he has been charged with one count of first-degree murder. now, just this is a very small town electric county, about 1,700 residents live there. and that means that these two men were very prominent figures in the community. they were known to the law enforcement community as well as other people in the town. in fact, many of them are left wondering how this could

have happened and the why even the commonwealth attorney for letcher county has said that he will have to recuse himself from the case, citing the fact that he worked and knew both men and that he has family ties to judge mullins. i want you to take a listen to one of the court what employees just describing how all of this has affected them. take elicit them is just unimaginable. i don't know what happened or what the reason was so police are investigating it and feel confident that they will hopefully provide some answers on why and maybe that'll be able to get this all deal with dark county community is just in shock both of the whale lot now sheriff stines is expected to appear in court next week. it will be his first court appearance for his arraignment. and he's been transferred to

another county about 100 miles away from letcher county because the courthouse where he would have been arraigned is the court house where the shooting took place? and the judge that would have presided over this hearing is judge mullins of course, who was the victim killed in the shooting in the meantime, this court has been paralyzed. this court in letcher county, there's a retired judge that will be serving in his position until tuchi, a state officials can convene a judicial nominating committee that will a name a new judge for that seat. but in the meantime, jessica, again, this town just trying to understand how all of this could have happened and still learning to learn more about what was behind the motive and what was that argument about that? took place in the chambers before gunfire? gunfire rang out there's a lot of questions here still. all right. gloria pazmino for us. thanks so much for that. >> still ahead, president biden hosting the leaders of japan

leaders of australia, india, and japan are expected to talk about the issues of key importance in the indo-pacific, including china and its aggressive moves in the south, china sea. arlette saenz joining us now from claymont, delaware. so arlette, what are we expecting out of these meetings? >> well, jessica, president biden right now is in a private meeting with the leaders of australia, india, and japan as he is looking to the further boost the quad alliance before he leaves office, so this is a partnership that the president just moments ago said. he does believe will endure beyond his presidency the quad alliance has been at the center of his strategy in the indo-pacific as the u.s is trying to look for ways to counter china's growing influence in the region. now, as the president what's heading into that private meeting, china was at the top of the agenda as the leaders were expected to discuss a beijing's moves, including its aggression in

aggressive posture in the south china sea, the leaders are also announcing a number of deliverables from this summit that will include a launching there first ever joint coast guard mission between the four countries. they are also looking to preposition more resources in the indo-pacific to try to prepare for humanity it's harry and disaster relief operations. there's also efforts to ramp up and provide more sophisticated technology to countries yet the pacific, trying to monitor illegal activities in their waters, including illegal fishing. and then there'a very personal component to all of this for president biden or relating to the cancer moon and shot that's his domestic initiative trying to eradicate a cancer. the quad leaders will actually be announcing a new collaboration between all of their countries. a quad cancer moonshot specifically aimed at trying to reduce cervical cancer rates in the indo-pacific, cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers for women in that area. so these countries want to try

to boost up testing, screening treatment and also vaccinations. the president himself has also putting some personal touches on the summit as he has invited everyone here to his home state of delaware he hosted each of the leaders at his private home for personal meetings between yesterday and this morning. and now the summit is taking place at his high school arch mere academy but all of this comes as the president really is trying to cement his foreign policy legacy heading into these final months that he has an office, his team has insisted that he wants so really engaged in this full, complete sprint in these final months to get as much as he can, can get done on the foreign policy front. and chief among those is continuing to find ways to address and counter china's influence in the indo-pacific course. president biden himself also trying to engage in some potential diplomacy with china. we do expect that he president xi jing ping will be speaking on the phone in the coming weeks. that's something they're teams have been working towards, but the white house has been insistent that the president continues to have his

eye on the ball on foreign policy, even ben, as his administration is winding down and he's preparing for the next president to take over once they're elected in november and are a lot. >> i also want to ask you about this meeting with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. that's expected next week for president biden to meet with him and zelenskyy, chelsea, and he wants to get approval to use these long range weapons on targets inside of russia. what more do you know about that that is something that's zelenskyy has been asking western allies to allow him to do for quite some time. >> he has been seeking this approval to use these long long-range weapons, long range missiles, and not just within ukraine, but in too further into russia. now, the president, just a few weeks ago said that they were still working through whether that is something that they would be willing to allow because these weapons are provided by the u.s. and other western countries, there would need to be some us sign-off. so at least by saying that they're working through that, it shows

that there could be some openness on the president and it's part relating to that. now, president biden will host ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy at the white house on thursday, vice president kamala harris is also expected to meet with him we believe that will be a key focus as zelenskyy is insisting that the use of these long-range weapons deep into russia will be key to their victory plan as they've been fighting this one for now, for years. >> all right. arlette saenz with president, with the president there in delaware. >> thank you so much for that reporting. when we come back, we're taking you live to beirut as israel even on trade intensifying attacks, including one that leveled this apartment building, killing dozens of people you're in the cnn newsroom space you have a show. >> we're right, left talk to him cnn presents an encore presentation of hbo's real-time with bill maher tonight at 8:00 on cnn
