2:01 pm
products were women over 40, i call it the daily routine is cnn the world's news network are in the cnn newsroom remind jessica dean in new begin this hour with breaking news in the middle east, where israel is ramping up its fight against hezbollah all this week, we have seen a string of major operator patients targeting the iran-backed terror group based in lebanon. and today, israel saying quote, extensively striking after uncovering, as well as plans for a company mean attack. cnn's ben wedeman is joining us now, live from beirut and ben tell us what you're seeing on the ground there today
2:02 pm
what we've seen is in the south plus then intensification of israeli bombardment and airstrikes. >> the likes of which we haven't seen for quite some time. there was a intense period of bombing between one the 30 and 2:30 p.m. local time by israeli airplanes, according to the lebanese news agency, 111 israeli strikes within the span of just 60 minutes. and this evening, it seems it's the same theirs intense strikes in much of the southern part of lebanon along the border. now hezbollah for its part, claims to have struck a rather launched 11 strikes on israeli targets. on the other side of the border and overall, it does seem that escalation is the he order of the day where friday noon was a nine story residential building in southern beirut. now, just a jagged jumble of concrete rubble and twisted steel bars
2:03 pm
israeli warplanes struck late in the afternoon, targeting successfully a meeting of his bullet commanders. yet among the almost 40 dead, there were women and children it was the third major israeli attack in four days. at the funeral for three of the hezbollah fighters killed friday in beirut since tuesday, the iranian backed group has suffered its highest casualties since the 2000s war yet at least here, the faithful, there are no signs of wavering they're committed to their leader. despite the body blows, israel dealt his berlin recent days painful my head, but we have
2:04 pm
patience and endurance and god-willing with hezbollah and nasrallah. victory is it handled the oman luck on the scene tells me they did this war, you can win every day. i let israel wait and see what our response will be. there are strong faith funerals to come for fighters and civilians from friday's strike these are his bulos. dark day embassy here in lebanon has put out sterling wore sternest warning yet to us nationals in the country, basically saying, don't come to lebanon. and if you're here, leave as soon as possible. the line that's sort of jumped out at me was this do not travel to lebanon due to crime, terrorism civil unrest, kidnapping, unexploded land mines, and the risk of armed
2:05 pm
conflict jessica all right. >> ben wedeman live in beirut tonight. thank you very much for that. let's bring in barak ravid now he's the cnn political and global affairs analyst, as well as a politics and foreign policy reporter for axios barak. good, good evening to you. thanks for being here i just want to start first with we're zooming out and kind of getting a bigger picture. look at all of this, looking at the actions over the last weeks last week by israel, what do you think is the state of play right now when it comes to israel and hezbollah. and what maybe comes next i just think i, what i think we're in a very dangerous moment where both sides are escalating. >> we need to take a look at the last week, hezbollah suffered. i think its biggest blow in its history within a week thousands of its members were wounded by this pager and
2:06 pm
walkie-talkie attacks dozens of them were killed. it created shock and paranoia inside this militia with its members not knowing what's going to happen next. whether they are safe. and on top of that, yesterday in an israeli airstrike in beirut hezbollah's top commander was taken out together with 15 other senior commanders so hezbollah at the moment and its leader hassan nasrallah, looks to the right, looks to the left. and find himself more or less alone because most of his command and control think this is, this is why this thing could go either for a very serious escalation or for hezbollah i have to say, you know what we need to pause the state because we're taking too much damages.
2:07 pm
>> and us national security advisor jake sullivan was asked about the recent ramp up in the attacks and he said that there's quote, a real risk of escalation i know that the biden administration and the u.s. has tried to pursue diplomatic resolutions to what has been going on. but at this point, does it seem like that's even a realistic option or are we just going to see more of this fighting escalate? >> so at the moment, it doesn't seem to be an option, least not in the immediate term, but what the israeli government is set and the biden administration is in many ways subscribed to this idea is de-escalation through escalation meaning for months, the diplomatic efforts by the u.s. did not achieve a deal. hezbollah did not agree to decouple itself from hamas and
2:08 pm
gaza. it said it's going to stop fighting only when the war in gaza stops. therefore, what these razor telling the u.s. is, you know, we've been doing everything we did over the last week in order to put his battle in a place where it recalculates. its policy and what i hear from us officials, very senior us officials, that they recognize that this seems to be the way to go at this moment. they recognize that the same time, this is a very slippery slope, meaning it's a very fine calibration. you can find yourself very easily escalating a not ending with a de-escalation, but ending with an all out and so to that point is there a tipping point where iran becomes directly involved? or or do you think not that's a good question iranians, for iran hezbollah was its secret weapon. its most
2:09 pm
important important investment for decades as this militia that would retaliate against israel in case israel attacked iran on its nuclear facilities and every day the rainiest look at what's going on in lebanon and see that hezbollah is taking more and more hits so i think the radians are thinking about it for sure. but i think we were not going to see the rania's getting involved if we don't see israel invading level if israel invades lebanon, that's a different story. i'm pretty sure the iranians will get involved, but it's just going to be those clandestine intelligence operations. and targeted air airstrikes. i find it hard to see the iranians going in and it is of, course, late on saturday night in israel right now, as we've seen for months and months many israelis are
2:10 pm
protesting, are calling on the prime minister benjamin netanyahu to accept a hostage deal. >> some are calling on him to step down. of course, he's been accused for many years of pursuing conflict looks to stay in power. what is the current status of prime minister netanyahu? and also, just as we get closer to the u.s. election, what kind of role is that playing in, in his mind as well? >> so i think that that's one of the key elements here because a war between israel and lebanon is much as the map, it's much more serious thing than a war in gaza. okay, i know it sounds hard to believe, but the war in gaza would be a walk in the park in comparison to a war between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. and a divided society divided israeli society, which is the situation right now, is not a good recipe for such a war and netanyahu knows it and one major
2:11 pm
development that happened earlier today was that netanyahu, for the last few days while this whole thing is going on tried to fire, wanted to fire the minister of defense, yoav gallant, who is highly popular in israeli public opinion and replace him with a member of the opposition in order to broaden his coalition and kick out golan, who he doesn't really like and earlier today, good on sow, this member of the opposition didn't they? i wanted to appoint as minister of defense announced that he is giving up on this idea and he's not going to take the job. and it happened after both sides. anytime you and the entire israeli society saw devastating public opinion polls in different israeli media outlets that showed that 60% of israelis are opposed to the firing of minister of defense gallant and think that netanyahu is only doing this
2:12 pm
for political reasons, not because gallant is not doing his job. and i think it tells you a lot about netanyahu's political situation and trust he has from the israeli people these days all right. >> barak ravid, as always. thank you so much for that analysis. we appreciate it. >> thank you new tonight, vice president harris, accepting an invitation to a cnn debate set just days before the general election going to tell you how president trump and his campaign are responding. >> plus a georgia's attorney general saying vote counting changes made by the state election board may be unlawful. and i talked to the lone democrat pratt on that election board plus wait until you hear wind divers surveying wreckage of a super yacht off the coast of sicily are now asking for heightened security surety. what could be on board that ship? you're the cnn newsroom everything you want right

2:18 pm
cycle and he told the crowd that it was too late. for another debate because people are already voting. now i will point out that he did participate in october debates both in 2016 against hillary clinton. in fact, he actually did two debates in 2016 as well as a late october debate against joe biden four years ago. however, he said he's not up for another one this time around also speak you can to his crowd. he continued to talk about his favorite topic immigration this time promising a new crack down on sanctuary cities. take a listen to what he said. >> today i'm announcing a new plan to end all sanctuary cities and north carolina and all across no more oh sanctuary. as soon as i take office, we will immediately surge federal law enforcement to every city that is failing, which is a lot of them to turn over criminal aliens. and we will hunt down, capture every single gang member, drug dealer, rapist, murderer, and
2:19 pm
migrant criminal that is being think illegally harbor president tried to withhold funding from sanctuary cities when he was president, but as court stepped in and said his executive order could not be issued and steve, this campaign in north carolina comes on the heels of a cnn investigation that found that the republican candidate for governor in north carolina, mark robinson, made lewd and racist comments on a porn site years ago. how is the trump campaign respond to this knowing that the foreign president endorsed him? >> he endorsed, him and he has spoken at many trump rallies in the past. however, today he was not invited, he did not show up and he wasn't even mentioned by trump or any of the speakers today. and it just shows you how quickly they are trying to distance themselves from robinson and some of the fall regarding him. but however, i will we'll point out that the state gop has so far stood by robinson and trump has not
2:20 pm
specifically address robinson himself, but his campaign instead saying that they are focused on winning north carolina, realizing how important it is to their path to the white house all right. >> steve contorno there in wilmington, north carolina. thank you so much for that reporting. joining me now is cnn senior political analyst and senior editor at the atlantic. ron brownstein. hi ron. thanks so much for being here with us. we've got a lot to talk about. i want to start first with that bombshell report from cnn on mark robinson. does it change the dynamic in north carolina in the presidential race there already we knew it was likely to be a very close race. >> yeah. >> i think it does at least a little north carolina has been heartbreak hill for the democrats since 2008 when they won the presidency they're obama won the state, and they want to senate race since then, they've lost a succession of close senate and presidential contests. and there is concern among democrats that the population balance in the state
2:21 pm
has been tilting a little away from them with an influx of conservative retirees from higher tax. blue states. but this is the kind of development that could turbocharge the best thing democrats have going for them in north carolina, which is the movement of white collar suburbs outside of charlotte raleigh, as in other states, toward them. there is a risk, i think for trump who has praised robinson and, you know was instrumental in helping him become the nominee through that praise. that some of the white collar pro-choice suburban women who might otherwise the attracted to voting for trump because of his stance on the economy and immigration might find robinson just a bridge too far, maybe stay home, maybe get another look to kamala harris north carolina, still tough for democrats, but this certainly gives him a little boost yeah what do you make of harris accepting this second debate with trump? he says that its,
2:22 pm
it's too close. it's too close. he can't do it then what do you think? well, look, the first debate could hardly have gone better for harris. and so in one sense, it's understandable that she thinks that she can beat trump. again on the other hand, i am a little surprised in that the campaign might want that contrast. it's hard to believe any debate could ever be that effect back again. and they might want that contrast to be the last thing that voters, the last time voters see them together i am just reminded trump's response reminded me of something that republican strategist said to me a few days before, even the bad performance in the first debate with kamala harris, which was that this strategist said, i don't think we're going to when this campaign, if we do through the interactions between harris and trump, whether in the debate or in the day-to-day kind of give and take of the candidates. if we do when it's just going to be grinding her down with negative advertising, that kind of textbook of work republicans have done for years, painting
2:23 pm
democrats are soft on crime and immigration, coastal liberal in those critical states of michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin aimed at blue collar, mostly blue collar whites. and i think that's what you see here. i mean, i don't think they want to put him in that position. again, and they just want to count on this kind of like terminator like day after day accumulation of negative advertising and also this week, the vice, the vice president participated in this event with oprah winfrey. it was in michigan, of course, trying to reach it and even broader set of voters. she spoke with the family of a woman from georgia who died as the result of delayed medical care. that's linked to that state's abortion ban. i just want to play a quick clip of that so she on death's door before you actually decide to give her help doctor or a nurse has to say,
2:24 pm
she might die at any minute. >> better give her now care because otherwise i might go to prison it's a health care crisis. it's a health care crisis that affects the patient and the profession and ron, look, they talked about a number of issues, but you've got the vice president with oprah winfrey talking about women's reproductive rights. >> it kind of tells you a lot about who they are targeting, what kind of voter they are hoping to motivate yeah, look, i think we are under estimating the potential impact of abortion in this election. harris is talking about it with force and conviction. and if you look at 20:22, the first election after the supreme court overturned the constitutional right to abortion, that democratic performance in the governor's races in michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin improved over biden's just two years earlier among not only college-educated white women in those states, but also the non-college blue collar white women who have tended to vote republican over
2:25 pm
most of the past 30 years. the recent polling that came out last week from both quinnipiac and marist in those critical states that will probably decide this election. michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin showed harris holding the gains that democrats made in 22 relative to biden in 20, both among the white collar and the blue-collar white women. and that is what i think above all, will put her in a position to strongly compete for those states. >> that is this such key demographics to watch? all right, ron brownstein, as always, thanks so much thanks for having me weeks before voters head to the polls, a georgia elections board is changing the way the state's going to count the ballots up. next, we're going i talked to democratic member of that board who says this could change, this change could delay the results of the presidential election. and i'm very critical battleground state. here on cnn newsroom news for you? just i did nine on cnn

2:31 pm
rules are not tethered to any statute. also, he warned that the board might be making these changes to close to the election. what is your take on this well, that's one of the aspects of this that i find most shocking that the board is operating without the constraint of the rule of law. >> and this is something that as the only attorney on the board, i have spoken about publicly many times. but it is entirely too close to elections. >> there are boards across county election boards across the state have been passing resolutions unanimously, bipartisan board saying, please stop making new rules there needs to be a quiet period. >> voting is already happening. the ballots for our military and overseas voters are already out there. so it's mind to me that these folks think it's appropriate to change the rules when voting is already happening.
2:32 pm
>> and georgia has a number, obviously, of counties, as you mentioned, that are going to have to hand count these ballots. what kind of impact could that have on election night? >> so we have 159 counties all from five to 6,000 voters, up to nearly 1 million in the metro area and not only do they have to hand count them, but they have to hand count them three times. and those counts have to match exactly even now, every ballot has already been count, not just tabulated, but also counted by electronic scanners the counties that have actually tested this already, they have they have run like a beta test for this. they that it's taking them in an hour, hour-and-a-half, two hours. and that's using workers that have not already had a 14 day so it is going to delay getting those results back to the county. that headquarters sometimes by
2:33 pm
many hours, and that means that the counties that are legally required by statute to have those vote totals uploaded by midnight are really facing an incredibly challenging deadline. >> and obviously three people on this panel believed it's necessary to require hand counting and they're going to require that counties make sure the number of balance and of course, as you just mentioned, match the tally of the on the voting machines where is the harm in making sure everything matches? what do you say to people who say, why can't we just make sure everything matches why didn't we look at this rule six months ago if this rule was so important at this task was so important, why didn't we undertake the rulemaking? >> early enough that the county's could have trained and provided for this. now, their coworkers are already trained. >> the poll, the poll workers are already hired. >> so they didn't expect to
2:34 pm
have to do this are we going to are they going to have to retrain? are they going to have to reset the way there? precinct is set up to make sure that they have there the table setup in a way that this can count, can be conducted safely and they can keep those ballots secure if this was so important to election integrity why didn't we do this? last year? why didn't we do it in january and february in june even? but we in september, the end of the line. it is way too late in the day to be making these kinds of changes expect the counties to be able to undertake this in a way that is reasonable. national safe, and keeps the bouts secure georgia's republican secretary of state, brad raffensberger has already called this board in this situation a mess that's his words. >> a mess. and as i'm hearing you talk about this and you think about this, you think
2:35 pm
about hand-counting. you think about the potential for human error, as you mentioned, after someone who he's worked hours and hours at a polling site, do you worry that this could inject some sort of questioning into the results that are totally secure. because now there is a risk for human error that it could, could be, could be causing problems where there, where there weren't any before for that is exactly what every single election director re election supervisors from across the state, they all warned that we've had the former secretary of state of alabama made the same sorts of warnings to us saying you don't change the rules, you don't change procedures because you are risking injecting confusion you're risking injecting misinformation about what might happen. and it's just it a
2:36 pm
deep concern to me and i just can't i can't fathom why anybody thinks it's a good idea to change these rules this late in the game tindall, ghazal. thank you so much for sharing your perspective on this. we appreciate it my pleasure if you are the first private astronaut to conduct spacewalk how do you top that? what do you do next? we're going to ask isaacson, the man who did the first private spacewalk. >> you're in the cnn newsroom anderson, cooper 360 weeknight today on cnn just perfect for fall right? yeah. >> feet so low now. to strengthen roots all winter for petrillo next spring you know, all this says it right there on the back. yes, it does. zemla the my lawn app today for one care tips and customize plans feeding feeding everywhere, but the seat the seat of leather, now and again, you love your

the u.s election campus protests and her very public marriage for weed, zakaria gps tomorrow morning at ten the world is still an all after last week's historic space mission, the polaris dawn crew's flashing back down to earth last sunday after a five-day mission. it reached the highest altitude traveled by any human since 1966. and two crew members became the first women to travel so far from our planet polaris. dawn conducted the first commercial spacewalk with commander jared issacman telling mission control, quote back at home, we have a lot of work to do. but from here looks like a perfect world. today, we're speaking to commander jared issacman, who partly funded the mission. thanks so much for being here it's been nearly a week since you've been home. what do you keep thinking about what an experience to have well, first, thanks for having me and yeah, i mean, this is when we have some brief moments of
2:42 pm
reflection. it's quite, it's quite intense to think about. but we've also been getting a lot of our time to the scientists who've continued to poke, and prod us a little bit as well as just sharing our story with everyone, which is it's one of the fundamental obligation of any human spaceflight missions and tell us about that moment, about the spacewalk. >> it was partly to test out. i believe the space suits, but just to be out there in space, what was that like well, we were taking 14,000 people with us. >> i mean, this was a huge undertaking from everyone at spacex. there were contributions from nasa. i mean, no one's built a new space suit that you can do spacewalks and in nearly four decades there were a lot of things on our mission, whether it was the high altitude of the spacewalk that we're certainly done in the 1960s and 70s, but it was when there was four-and-a-half percent of gdp funding, space race and it was paid for by everyone. it's just a really awesome time now we're private industry, commercial

industry can be unlocking these capabilities really they for everyone and it was one heck of a view and the suit did really, really well. and i'm excited to think about where that suit might be used, someday. >> yeah, you just don't know how it will evolve. >> i just remind everyone that was a five-day mission you and your crew carried out nearly 40 science experiments. you did research can you tell us a little bit about what kind of experiments, what you were trying to study while you were doing this sure. >> you know i mean, up until very recently, human spaceflight was kinda exclusive domain of world governments and it often carried a hero image associated with it. but to tell you the truth of the 600 and some odd people orbit about 50% fe horrible. there's fluid shifts in your body when you're out in that micro-gravity environment, it's kinda why your face puffs up a little bit but if you can envision a world in the future where tens of thousands of people are traveling into space. and it would probably be great for all of them if they were feeling
2:44 pm
decent not getting sick. so we had a lot of science and research experiments about understanding space adaptation syndrome about understanding a lot of the ocular issues that happen when you're optic nerve can be compressed with increased intraocular pressure we were doing experiments on new, new methods of medical intervention because if you are are going to the moon or mars and coming back, some of these journeys can be long and you're going to have to deal with things like airway management, cpr so we had a lot of ultrasounds, just understanding everything from your eyes, your major veins, and oregon so we kept ourselves pretty busy up there. >> yeah, it sounds like you can get you didn't waste a lot of time i'm curious what your biggest challenge was. and if everything went as well, i think it actually goes to the previous question was just time. >> we only had five days. that's the limitation of dragon. >> and our oxygen
2:45 pm
we're breathing 100% oxygen during the epa, it's why we only had so much time outside the vehicle as well. >> but really it was just time. we were on the clock the moment we launched. we needed perfect weather to come home within five days and we had a lot to do during that period. so i think we all would have loved a few more days to get things done, but we just kinda sacrifice sleep a little bit and managed to check all the boxes and so what happens now, where do you go from here? >> what could you possibly do next? but tops this well i think the whole purpose of the polaris program is to bridge the gap between the dragon vehicle that has proven to go to and from the international space station really well. >> and starship, that's huge new reusable rocket with a double the thrust of the saturn five, that there's two factories up making in quantity. i mean, this is this is going to be 7:37 of hum spaceflight. this is what nasa has already contracted with to return humans to the moon. and this is how people are going to get to mars and really explore our solar system. so there's an awful lot to do between what we have today and when that
2:46 pm
spaceship comes online and in the next decade so that's what polaris is about. it's why we're building new spacesuits. it's why we're leaving our comfort zone and going really high. testing new communication methods using lasers like we did on this mission. and there's still a lot more to develop and test on the horizon. >> always so much more to do and learn. jared issacman. thank you so much for being here with us thank you well, here's a mystery that super yacht may have had highly classified date locked, incited, saved onboard before it sake. and now sources say divers are worried about foreign governments trying to crack them under water it kind of sounds it's like a plot out of a spy novel. we're going to talk more about it when we come back coming to cnn this fall pros and cons less pro hosted by roy wood jr. row with amber ruffin what michaelian black. oh, okay. what are the cons? >> we could run out the news by then

2:53 pm
concerned that someone with a higher level of technology may try to reach it and we've understood good from the authorities here in italy that they have beefed up their surveillance and their protection of the site, both above and below water until they're able to raise that vessel and then what happens to this potentially very highly classified and important information on board that ship is also a matter of great concern. jessica bar, we do have we learned anything more about the actual sinking? >> i know this was weather-related well, yeah, they're saying that this that a tornado or water just about hit this vessel around. write about 4:00 a.m. the morning of august 19 and sank this quote, unquote unsinkable vessel according to the makers of the yacht, within about 15 minutes. >> now, there were other vessels and other yachts and boats and things like that and water around it. did not sink them looking into a criminal negligence on the part of the captain and on several other of
2:54 pm
the crew members to see if maybe the hatches were open and things like that. none of those questions, of course, will be answered completely until they're able to raise the vessel. now, doing that is a matter of also environmental concerns, but 18,000 liters of fuel and oil on that vessel, they have to be very careful how they bring it up and make sure that they do it in a careful way as well. just got all right. >> barbie nadeau with the latest there. thank you so much for that reporting. we appreciate it. >> and when students across america settling into the school year, cnn heroes has a reminder that some of the best life lessons don't always come from a book. >> middle school teacher the brian o'connor had his class in chappaqua, new york, write letters to their top cnn heroes in 2023. and at the make good famous summit, the class got a surprise video call from their heroes from when you were about mama shu, peace and love everybody.
