stroke that did it, but rhabdo came after i was in the hospital for three days. but what's unusual about this case? is that a bunch of people, it's not like contagious, it's not like, you know, you spread from one person who and others. so the same thing happened to had to happen to all of them, right yeah that's what's really interesting about this. >> it sounds like what's something else at play here and doctors have raised that i spoke with dr. robin thicke, who's a sports medicine doctor and he noted that supplements can contribute to this. so i asked the university and they said, all of this is part of the investigation. they don't know, but there are instances in the past where this has happened to several members of it team at one time we saw one from iowa about a decade ago where more than a dozen football players were affected. there's one from south carolina even longer ago than that seven swimmers were affected supplements weren't necessarily involved in those. so sometimes this can happen if folks haven't been training for a little bit and they come back and we know it's the beginning of the school year. maybe these players we're coming back into training and this one was particularly rigorous. so we're going to find out all these details

there are estimates this affects about 26,000 people per year so it is relatively rare doctors and the university say they expect these guys to make a full recovery. of course, we're all hoping to hear that that is indeed the case, but it can be scary as you pointed out, john stinks for a few days, but hopefully it will be okay proof that you can come fully recover? yes. >> maybe no more of marathon, you know, warmer. okay. all right. thank you so much. meg tirrell. appreciate that report and a new hour of cnn, new central starts right now. >> breaking overnight, the deadliest day in nearly two decades lebanon, israel and iran hezbollah trading intense fire which will now be front and center as president biden is about to make his final speech. at, the united nations general assembly. >> donald trump heading back to battleground georgia today after calling early voting stupid, also trying to get people to vote early and zero fruit and the zero proof

movement, new details on mocktails becoming more and more popular, but how much more healthy our, they i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner and john >> this is cnn new central alright, it is a big moment in the biden presidency happening now, president biden is preparing to address the un general assembly for what could be the final major foreign policy address of his administration. it comes at a moment of extraordinary tension in the middle east. overnight, israel defense forces say hezbollah launched some 100 projectiles into israel as israel also intensifies its airstrikes against hezbollah in lebanon, lebanon's health minister says, so far the israeli strikes have killed more than 500 people. they say also so including 50 children. let's get right to cnn's kayla tausche at the united nations this morning in this address, i imagine we'll cover not just what's happening in the middle

east, but other hotspots around the world wide ranging address from president biden today where he's expected to acknowledge what officials are calling a very difficult year in the middle east. >> they say that he'll continue to press the need for a ceasefire and also talk about the importance of maintaining regional partnerships as a way to pursue peace both in the middle east and in other hotspots around the world. now, biden has been talking about that for years since he's been in office and he's expected to touch on a lot of that today, fortifying alliances with like-minded nations. and elevating democratic values. and what is expected to be it more of a capstone address from president biden as he seeks to burnish his legacy on foreign policy just as he has in other recent speeches on, for instance, the economy and also reforms he says are needed at the supreme court court. but in today's address, he is also expected to announce that he's going to be donating 1 million mpox vaccines to africa to try to stem an outbreak there. and

he's also going to be talking in later engagements about the need for climate policy around the world to create good hey, jobs. and also about the work that's being done by a coalition that he helped to establish to fight fentanyl trafficking around the world. but john senior officials acknowledged that it is the ongoing tension escalating situation in the middle east. it's going to be front and center both for biden in his remarks, but also in his discussions with world leaders on this sidelines. now this is a conflict that many senior advisors never predicted and then thought would be short-lived. and while they've been working behind the scenes around the clock for a ceasefire deal. that deal remains elusive and they now say that the goal in these discussions here in new york is simply going to be to stabilize the situation john you know, he's worked so long in foreign policy decades and foreign policy, you know, how he relishes these moments, but so many difficulties around the world. it makes it all the more meaningful. probably kayla tausche. thank you very much. sara. >> all right. thank you. john.

breaking overnight, the death toll from the israeli airstrikes targeting iran-backed hezbollah in lebanon man has now surpassed 550 people, including women and children. both sides trading fire overnight. now, us officials are working around the clock to try and stop the israeli hezbollah conflict from escalating further. but one official telling cnn, we are the closest we've been to spiraling to a regional war since the tolber seventh, attacks by hamas, cnn, national security correspondent natasha bertrand is live at the pentagon. natasha, how concerned are us officials about this latest escalation that we are seeing play out at this very hour well, sara, this is really the most concerned that they have been since war broke out between israel and hamas in gaza last october, because as officials have emphasized, repeatedly, the potential for a full-scale war has always been much, much higher when it comes to the conflict between israel and hamas hezbollah, then between israel and hamas, because of

that key player, of course, iran, which backs hezbollah and the question of whether if there is a full blown war between israel and lebanon and hezbollah in southern lebanon, and israel goes in on the ground and tries to defeat or seriously weaken has bullet that way we'll iran then get involved turning this into a full full-fledged regional war. >> and this is something that officials are deeply, deeply concerned about. as you said, they're one official told me that we are the closest we have been since last october to this kind of full-scale regional conflict. now, at this point, officials are working around the clock really fee virtually to try to de-escalate the situation, trying to deter is real from launching this kind of ground incursion against hezbollah, which could escalate the situation even further, we have seen, of course, for tat strikes between israel and hezbollah over the last week. but things have really really escalated since that pager and walkie-talkie attack that israel conducted on hezbollah last week and of course, the

multiple rounds of airstrikes that we've seen from israel which have killed many civilians in lebanon. and so the u.s. now saying, look, we are deeply concerned about this. we don't necessarily know at this point what israel's ultimate goal is, whether they simply intend to try to weaken hezbollah from the air, or whether they are preparing and softening the battlefield there for some kind of larger ground incursion. that is something that the u.s. right now is really trying to prevent israel from doing. but of course, ultimately it is their decision and what they are really emphasizing to israel here is that if they do go in on the ground against hezbollah, if this does escalate, it's not going to be a quick war. hezbollah has been seriously weakened over the last week, but they are still a very powerful force. and as i said, of course, they have iran's up full backing sara. >> i think it's worth mentioning the last time israel and hezbollah went out, it was it's 2006 truly. and that war lasted about a month and a few days. thank you so much. natasha bertrand there live from the pentagon here with us

right now, is chief international anchor christiane amanpour. >> christiane, thank you for being here. you've got a busy day ahead. i know. >> what are you hearing from world leaders and your sources about what's at stake for president biden. >> but the world as world leaders are gathering, gathering as the middle east is just lighting up right now, it really couldn't be a grimmer background. i don't recall a general assembly with all the leaders gathered with this much real havoc in the world that it seems according to what we're all reporting that even the united states, the biggest backer, for instance, in this case of israel, apparently doesn't know what israel's plans are. does it plan to go in on the ground? does it plan to see what's going on and try to do as much weakening from the air or not that i think speaks to the notion of leadership and the ability to influence things on the ground as sara just mentioned, i covered the 2006 war between israel and hezbollah. it did last about six weeks, and it was fought to a draw. that's in

2006. israel didn't win hezbollah didn't win. it was fought to a draw. and now everybody has much more on. i think you'll see potentially according to my sources will hezbollah respond in a way to yesterday's bombardments which killed nearly 300 people wounded 1,000, including civilians, will hezbollah respond in a way that breaches any so-called red lines. in other words, a long-range missile ballistic missile on a heavily populated urban area in israel is a major red line, right? so i think that's something to watch. if that happens, then i think all bets are off and we don't know what iran will do in the meantime, of course, the president has to deal with a very real war that's going on in europe right now. that is russia's ongoing invasion and occupation of ukraine. i spoke to the ukrainian president this week. he's going to be seeing the president biden tried to present his victory plan, but clearly what they want is to be allowed to use american weapons in the way that they can with

no restrictions to be able to hit russian military targets which are targeting them, which they have been asking and requesting that kind of allowance, if you will, for months and months and months at this point? >> it was about a year ago, almost to the day that we were on the program together watching live as siamak namazi stepped off an airplane onto american soil after being wrongfully imprisoned in iran for eight years. >> it was a huge moment because you have been covering and speaking to him for so long. we've and watching his prison and everything he'd endured throughout that time together. and then you just had the opportunity to sit down with an exclusive interview. >> i'm smiling because you remember this time last year because of the deal that finally iran and the united states struck to release siamak and for other iranian americans they found finally got free. siamak had been held hostage, as he says, i do as uses this anodyne word wrongfully imprisoned, but they are

hostages because of their american passports period, end of story, they are a business and you've seen it happened in russia as well. and that's a real issue but he had called our program more than a year ago to bag president biden to hear them and to try to do whatever they could. the u.s to get them out siamak had been left behind by the trump administration negotiations twice by the obama and nikki they've got several other hostages out. when i finally spoke to him face-to-face this sunday here in new york i started by asking him what it was like to be free after all this year and how this year has gone take a listen the most dominant feeling that i have is gratitude i owe a huge debt of gratitude. many people, particularly president biden, who made a very difficult choice and struck the deal. i'm sure it was very difficult. deal for him to strike that. brought us home it took many more years than i

hope that it would. i was there eight years the longest held the longest held. but the truth is when when you get out of a dungeon after eight years, you don't just return to a normal life. it's it's overly optimistic. you don't just kind of shake it off. it's, it's a eight-year earthquake that hits your life and it leaves a lot of destruction yeah. >> and you talked about things that, you know, just having to get new bank accounts, figure out, you know, driving license, just daisy. >> and also he thinks he wasn't comfortable. >> he told about the unalterable indignities and he told me that he there's not yet even gone there with his therapists, so he was explaining that the physical abuse was bad and it was daily for a period of about 27 months. practically daily. but he said the humiliation and the psychological abuse, which was also daily and regular, was

worse. and that's the kind of thing that he is still trying to process. he said that extraordinarily since he's probably had the most experience with the revolutionary guard in terms of negotiating and trying to get out. he has not been debriefed by the biden administration. he would love to shake president biden's hand and thank him and he's exceptionally angry still with the iranian government for so-called profiting on his life and selling iranian americans for profit and for this business, he's really furious at that, but it's great that he's out. it's important to make these deals and he really was very thankful. it's heartened to hear from him yeah, i'm really sitting with you. i think that couldn't be more perfect and the whole interview is on cnn.com. it's fantastic. is he, he really lays it all out. he's so articulate, profound. >> his reflections on it or something for everyone to see thanks for coming in. great to see you. thanks. john. >> right. nothing convince his

people to vote early more than telling them early voting is stupid we have to win pennsylvania throughout, make a plan to vote early, vote absentee that we have this stupid stuff where you can vote 45 days early i wonder what the hell happens during that 45. >> let's move the cheeley's votes. you've got about 1 million votes and then let's move them newly released video this morning from the ocean floor of the titan submersible that imploded killing five people in a state of emergency declared in florida bracing for a storm that could become a major hurricane. >> this strongest storm of the season to 30 years. >> i've been saying publicly, more people say and turns out i have enough money. i could just shut up, but you back to his car saturday, october 5th on cnn

she every day and need on tnt donald trump is headed to battleground georgia today after telling pennsylvania voters how much he hates early voting while at the same time encouraging them to vote early, cnn he's alayna treene is in washington. >> today, a contradiction of sorts. what are you expecting to hear from him while he is in georgia well sara you're exactly right. >> i mean, donald trump urged voters yesterday in pennsylvania to vote early before quickly reversing course and calling the method stupid and also arguing that it may have cost him the 2020 election. take a listen to what he said. >> we've got to get out and vote. you can start right away. you know that right now we have this stupid stuff where you can

vote 45 days early. i wonder what the hell happens during that 45. let's move the cheeley's votes. you've got about 1 million votes and then let's move them were fixing the air conditioner in the room from right. now it's terrible what happened the last time was disgraceful, including right here but we're not going to let it happen again to you know, too big to rig, right? that's one way you do it not only was that a contradictory statement in itself, but it also contradicts what republicans donald trump's campaign and the rnc are really trying to do with this election. >> i mean, just last month, we saw the rnc launch a process to an online august's to help pennsylvania voters specifically request mail in ballots arguing that it would make the election more secure than ever. i think this is very common. know we've seen this with donald trump, republicans around him, people on his own team, even j.d. vance said this as late as yesterday that early

they need to use all oh pathways and tools that they can this election. donald trump personally believes that early voting is rife for fraud. we've heard him in the past repeatedly disparaged early voting mail-in ballots, arguing that it led to widespread fraud in 2020 claims. we know that are just not true, but this is the balance that they are working with. i know when i talked to many republicans, they are very wary of the rhetoric toward early voting, mainly the negative rhetoric toward early voting because some people believe that it actually did negatively impact them in 2020 because not enough voters recognize the importance of voting earlier and use the tools in the same way that democrats did. so we saw saw that on display yesterday. i wouldn't be surprised if we heard similar rhetoric from donald trump in georgia later today. >> we've heard him attack early voting and mail-in voting. we will see what happens on the trail in georgia. i know you will be there. alayna treene. thank you so much. appreciate it so the haunting final message from the titan submersible mission and the new

start watching at fubo tv.com power is not good season body feels like we've got new video this morning showing the wreckage of the titan submersible, which imploded in 2023, killing all five people on board. this is part of a coast guard investigation. cnn this jason carroll joins us now, walk us through what we're seeing in this new video. we'll look. >> it's been another week of testimony, john and another week of more allegations that safety concerns were basically discarded or ignored by oceangate's former ceo, stockton rush and this time during this coast guard

hearing, what we heard from we heard from the former for director of engineering, a man by the name of phil brooks. and what he said is he said that back in 2022 when the titan was on another expedition, as it came back up to the surface, everyone heard some sort of a very loud bang and it concerned a lot of people. and so what the engineers wanted to do is they wanted to at the end of the season, bring the titan back so it could be examined to see perhaps what was the exact cause at the time they thought perhaps it was the sub's frame readjusting itself. but instead of bringing it back what happened was it sat on a dock exposed to the elements for several months and brooks says the final decision when it came to safety and everything else came down to one man stockton rush, oceangate's former ceo. take a listen to what he had to say it was it was very frustrating because it was left in st. john's and left on the dock and we had no way to work on it, no way to look at it.

>> and we were told it was a cost issue that the cost of shipping it back was prohibitive. they were low on money so there are also questions about the carbon fiber composition of the titan. this is what the whole was made of. a lot of questions about whether or not why it wasn't classed by a safety organization. well, we also heard from a representative from the american bureau of shipping. this person testified as well, you know what john he said, that organization and many others would never have class, this class, the titan, because they said because of what it was made of this carbon fiber composition, he said quote, but composite can fail catastrophically without much warning. so you can imagine how that went over as the coast guard was listening to that testimony, as well as looking at some of the animation in the new video. there from the titan as well. >> i got to see as they do these investigations, you so many questions about the risks

that were taken there. jason carroll, thanks so much for being here. you bet. sara. all right. let his polling numbers show kamala harris does not have the same level of support from some key voting groups as president biden had even earlier this year. >> so what is giving her a chance at the white house and a new storm system coming together. now in the caribbean it's on the path to hit the florida panhandle as a hurricane, we are tracking that timeline rated oprah winfrey show of all time. we're still talking about it. >> she opened the door to have discussions about way in a way that we had not before tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture. sunday at nine on cnn with powerful, easy to use tools, powered e-trade makes complex trading easier reacted fast moving markets with dynamic charting. and if futures ladder, the mitzi plays flatten or reverse orders. so you won't miss an opportunity.

october 5th, cnn vice president kamala harris is hitting the campaign trail in the key states of pennsylvania, arizona, nevada. >> as you continues to court hispanic and black voters as part of the coalition, she needs to when her. anton is running the numbers on this one in you're seeing some real shifts from look for years ago and even more recently, let's start with black voters. what are you saying? yeah, let's start with black voters and you know, big part of the democratic coalition. >> this is the democrat versus trump margin. look, kamala harris is up by 66 points among black voters. that is up from where joe biden was earlier this year, right? when he got to the race to 51, he was up by 51 points over donald trump. but this 66 point lead is way lower than that at point lead that joe biden had over donald trump at this point in the 2020 cycle. it's 14 points lower. so the bottom line is yes, joe biden was really struggling with black voters. harris has climbed up a little bit, but she's not anywhere near the level that joe biden was at

this point, just four years ago. >> and then what about hispanic voters? >> alright, so this is the same trend idea, right? all right, which you see here again, democrat versus donald trump. yes. kamala harris is ahead by 15 points. that's certainly significantly better than joe biden was doing just a few months ago when it was a seven point advantage. but again, look at this, this 15 point advantage that harris has it's significantly less than joe biden was doing at this 0.4 years ago. it's nearly it's only about half that number, my goodness, gracious. right. so we're again, we're seeing that double-digit shift from where we were four years ago at this point, not just among black voters, but hispanic voters as well. kamala harris doing better than joe biden was doing earlier on this year, but not anywhere near as well as he was doing for years ago at this point. >> and then compare it compare this to where trump and harris are with white voters. alright, so we have all of this news here which has really not very good for kamala harris given where joe biden was four years ago at this point in you're wondering how the heck as is

kamala harris, so competitive in this race. and this is where it gets really interesting. this really racial dynamic, racial polarization, decreasing because look among white voters, all right, so what do we see? are this should actually be 2020. there we go. and what do we see? we see here again, the democrat versus trump margin. and what do we see here? look at this trump is ahead, but by eight points, that is significantly lower than trump's lead was at the end of the 2020 campaign when it was a 14 point advantage and it's even lower than it was at this point back in 2020 when it was a nine point advantage for donald trump. so what's essentially going on here is that kamala harris is people to make up the sort of lower standing that she has among black and hispanic voters by doing significantly better than joe biden did four years ago in the final tally, among white voters which is that there's going to be a really interesting mix of voters and coalition that ends up leading to whomever wins, to whomever wins, it may lead to an interesting electoral map come november, exactly. thank you, harry thank you, sir. john.

>> all right. with us now, simon rosenberg, democratic strategist and consultant and maura gillespie, bluestack strategies founder and former press adviser to then house speaker john boehner, on top of everything that harry just said, which is always really instructive. we are learning in the new york times that the vice president heading to arizona later this week in mind right? visit the border where she might speak about the border. what do you think she gets out of that given that donald trump, simon has such an advantage right now on the issue of immigration in the polls yeah, look, the harris campaign is being very aggressive. they're contesting all types of voters, all regions of the country were playing to win. all of these seven battleground states. i've really been impressed, which is how much on offense they are all the time. and they're not scared to take on any of the big issues. i mean, i think it's great arizona, nevada, very important to us and we've it's going to be an important part of the fight two to 70. >> and i think, listen, we're

in a very strong patch here as democrats. >> i mean, we had a very good debate performance, interest rate cuts. the polls are good for, us. but we've got to keep fighting and expand our coalition and go win this thing. >> some polls are good, some not as good. the new york times holes from the side most, most polls, most most polls are good. >> most polls, then new york times within the sunbelt states showed arizona actually with a lead for trump outside the margin of error. >> more. so my question it does focusing on immigration, if that is what harris does if he visits the border later this week, how does that either try to cut into that trump lead or does she somehow expose yourself? >> well, you know, i think it's important to point out you can't avoid it, right? i think that's been made pretty clear throughout this campaign. trump's certainly not going to let her avoid it. so it's maybe this is the tactic is to address it head-on but i think there has to be some substantial planning coming from her that she needs to say okay. here is what i will do as president. here are the actual policy policies i want to put

in place. here's what i'll sign on day one, things like that, i think would speak to arizona voters and people who she needs to win over. she's got to go in there with a real plan. she can just waltz in there and hope to win favor by being vague, she has to be direct and talk to them, meet the voters where they are. and i go in arizona and trying to meet them where they are. i hope she comes up with a plan and to do so more you worked for john ban or see you know, a thing or two about ohio, a lot to talk about the ohio senate race for a moment right now, but also the national issue over abortion and choice. the republican senate candidate bernie moreno, was speaking to some kind of a town hall. and i'm going to read you what he had to say about abortion and single issue voting. he said, you know oh, the left has a lot of single issue voters, sadly, by the way, there's a lot of suburban women, a lot of suburban women that are like listen, abortion is it if i can't have an abortion in this country whenever i want, i will vote for anybody else it's a little crazy especially for women that are like pass 50 i'm thinking to myself, i don't think

that's an issue for you what's the takeaway there? maura i feel as though i'm a broken record, but a woman's worth is not tied to her womb. >> and to talk about abortion as if it's just about one single thing. it's women's health, again to conversation about women's rights is about this idea that republicans in large parts of the country don't understand, is that you're asking or you're telling women what they can and can't do with their own bodies. and it's it's again, it's a whole, it's a whole other issue than just one single right to life are right to choice. i think you'd be both things can be both pro life and property pro-choice. you can believe in the sanctity of life, but also believe in a woman's right to choose what's best for her and her health. and i think that republicans will continue to lose on this issue if they undermine women and point things out like that. this is an moronic comment to make and you're isolating the very voter base that you need to win over. and ohio showed that to us last november when they you

know, the referendum and this is not going to win over that voter-base. they largely need to get chris sununu, governor of new hampshire, republican. but nikki hailey, backer and not i think considered on an extreme wing of the party sat here and told me he said, you know what, though he said there are limits to what democrats can get? out of the reproductive rights issue and campaigns around the country. they've largely won over the voters. they're going to win on that subject. what do you think about that i think that's wishful thinking because i think the lesson we've seen since dobbs, democrats have continued to overperform expectations and elections all across the country and all regions, including in ohio, where we were able to take away the six-week abortion ban last year in 2023. >> and i think that the reason why the harris county campaign is pressing this so much is that i think the horrors of these trump abortion bans are just becoming understood by a larger group of voters. i mean, we've had now two women die in georgia that we now know about

because the trump abortion bans. and i think this isn't just a women's issue, and i think this is where the governor is wrong. this is also an issue for men the misogyny and the anti-women campaign being run by trump and vance is offensive to anyone any man also who cares about their daughter or their wife, their sister, or any co-worker and their lives because women are under assault as bad as things are for women. today, it's going to get far, far worse if trump vance wins. so i think governor sununu is a little indulging in a little bit of wishful thinking here right? >> simon rosenberg, maura gillespie, thanks to both you appreciate you being here. sir? >> all right. we've got breaking news for you this hour. new israeli strikes targeting lebanon's capital of beirut. take a look at this new video on the ground. the video from reuters, where that strike reportedly hit the idf is describing the attack as a quote, targeted strike state news in lebanon said the strike

hit a five-story building in a southern suburb, destroying apartment in the top two floors, you see them there it happens as israel has vowed to speed up its offensive even after an intense barrage of strikes yesterday, monday was the deadliest day in lebanon since 2000 joining me now, evelyn farkas, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense in the obama administration let me first ask you about this. israel saying these are targeted strikes. why hit beirut place that they did not tell people that they needed to flee from. that was certainly another area where hezbollah is known to be right? i mean, sara clearly israel is ratcheting up the pressure on his villa leadership and they're taking out these targets that they have determined are important to hezbollah continuing to fight. >> a low level war against israel. i mean, what's disconcerting is there was for that as you mentioned, ended in 2006, but hezbollah restarted

the war, if you will, or at least the scarred the fight against israel after the hamas fighters attacked out of gaza. so there's a two two-front assault on israel right now. and we can talk about whether they're taking the right approach. but they are obviously striking back at hezbollah now we will talk about the strategy seems to be, and i think is escalate in order to de-escalate hit something hard in order to stop. >> at this point, lebanon from striking in a, in a major way or starting a major war. what do you make of that? strategy it's really disconcerting because what we're relying on then is iran because iran backs hezbollah, hezbollah. >> and iran to say, you know what, we're not going to escalate further. we're not going to launch any more missiles against israel and the people all the way to tell olivia, we're not going to continue to escalate the war.

so i personally find that disconcerting. there was an alternative, sara, if you remember, just a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about getting a ceasefire in gaza and hezbollah has been very clear that they are launching these rockets into israel from lebanon in solidarity. if there because a ceasefire in gaza, if they feel that they're terrorists compatriots, the hamas folks, have some kind of deal there, then hezbollah has said they will stop firing from lebanon all right. >> there is some worry that the unga is this week. and leaders from all over are there. there is worry from us officials suppose that we are hearing that the assembly could actually inflame tensions, not lessen them. do you share that concern un general assembly is going to have a great impact on the outcome of the war right now. >> and the level of the war the reality melody is they could have a constructive role,

perhaps, which is to say that if the un general assembly reminds the nations of gathering that there was an agreement in 2006 and that hezbollah, that iran by proxy agreed that they would have a demilitarized zone and that israel would not be struck by missiles from lebanon. >> this was an international agreement, a un agreement they could remind the countries that that's the case. and, you know, kind of force hezbollah and iran back to the negotiating table, forced them back to agreement. but the reality is there. i think the reason people think it's not going to help and maybe might make things worse, is because of the china, russia, north korea, iran axis against the united states and the democracies. and you see this standoff not only creating gridlock in the un, but of course a lot of angry rhetoric and speaking of which were hearing from ukrainian president zelenskyy who spoke to abc. this caught our attention. listen to this

not about negotiation. >> russian know, it's felt like i said, it breach to diplomatic way, how to stop the war. the breach in the plan tree or victoria's plan is a strengthening of ukraine, ukrainian army and ukrainian people only in the strong position, we can push, we can push putin to stop the war diplomatic way. >> and he talked about the war being nearly at its end. what do you make of this? he's saying this obviously as he goes to the unga yeah, sara, it's really interesting, so he's talking about a victory plan, a plan for victory, not a peace plan. and this is really deliberate because what zelenskyy is saying, what president zelenskyy saying is that we're not going to compromise with russia. we want ukraine to come out victorious. if you side with ukraine, you're going to be on the side of the winter. so that's important for the international community for the u.s. and our allies to remember that we want

to be on the side of the winner. but, but more importantly russia's only going to make a deal, only going to make a peace deal if it's forced to understand that it cannot be victorious, that only ukraine will be victorious. so it's a pressure plan. i don't know we don't know yet exactly what the components are. i think president biden will be the first one to be briefed, but but i think what's important to understand is that ukraine saying we will only have peace on our terms are terms mean that we have to be victorious. so i think it's, it sounds subtle, but what they're trying to say is we're going to push russia to the negotiating thank table. and you're going to help us put pressure on russia to force them to the table. and this is important. just one other quick comment about this. it's important because of, of course the u.s. elections coming up and zelenskyy wants everybody to sign on the dotted line to his victory plan. both sides, republicans, democrats, members of congress, people running for the presidency you know, across the, board. >> yeah, we just watched a lot of be'er zelenskyy arriving at the un just there as you were

speaking, evelyn farkas, there are so many issues to talk about this. unga is going to be extremely important. thank you so much for coming on this morning. okay. >> debate over mail-in voting and one state goes to court this morning, how the outcome there could jeopardize ballots cast elsewhere in the country now, and here's to your health friends, the biggest benefits to choosing mocktails over cocktails against erosion and cavities is strong enamel. nothing beats it. i recommend pro enamel active shields because it actively shields the enamel to defend against erosion and cavities. i think that this product is a game changer for my patients, try pro-national mouthwash when you smell the amazing sent that game flames times stops davis there's a laundry detergents jane flames seriously, good sense emergency crystals pomp and fears when

barbara i'm bill, we're on the

california coast and this is cnn what do you talk about? >> the news sports a little family, gaza, maybe. now, you don't do that, right? >> here's another topic for you. >> as they get older, their risk of getting really sick from a respiratory virus, leg flip covid-19 or rsv goes up a lot so talk to them about getting the season vaccines because you've still gets so much to talk about gupta on coal brought to you by the u.s. department of health and human services risk lists do more campaign reminding you to get this season's flu and covid-19 vaccines bottoms up. >> alcohol-free with special music right there. many americans had started swapping cocktails for mocktails as a way to cut back on alcohol, you can really find them anywhere now and they're often quite

tasty. seen as dr. sanjay gupta is here on call, completely sober as far as we know, phil look, these mocktails really sanjay there. you are bottoms up there are you aware? now let me just how popular are they this is, this is really popular and this is a growing movement john, driven primarily by gen z. >> interestingly your kids, i don't think are quite old enough to drink yet but enzi has up to 27-years-old nowadays and 61% of them say, look we're willing to it really not drink much if at all. if you look across the country overall now 41% of people say they are trying to cut back on their drinking. so these numbers are definitely increasing what i think is fascinating is if you look back over the last few years, you do see a sort of predictable and trajectory now of growth in terms of these non-alcoholic drink sales, it's gone up about 30% a year. it's expected to hit about $1 within the next two years for an industry that was pretty

nascent, just a few years ago. so it's really growing, you know, athletic beer, john, i don't know if u'ore popular ones in 2018, we looked this up they made 800 barrels of this, this non-alcoholic beer last year, they made 170,000 barrels of it. so that gives you some idea. now, one thing i'll point out, there's a bit of a nuance here, 68% of people who were surveyed for this said that they still do drink, and 93% of people who by all of these various nonalcoholic i like drinks, including non-alcoholic wine. and liquor and the beer, 93% still by both the term that is tossed around a lot in the industry right now as intermittent sobriety, people aren't quite willing to go coal turkey, but they're increasingly headed that way, john, you have a full bar in front of you right now, which is oppressive sij obviously i imagine less alcohol is better for you, but are there other health implications here yeah. >> i mean, first of all, i don't think we can overstate how much better, just not

drinking is for you overall. i mean, we've talked about this on your program before the world health organization saying, look, no amount of alcohol is good for you. you should not start drinking in the pursuit of good health. but look at the numbers there on the screen. so that's heineken. so we did a side-by-side comparison heineken alcohol versus no alcohol. the calories are a lot lower as you can see in the no alcohol version of that. but the carbs are actually higher and i think that's important to point out when you look at how how these, these drinks are made a lot of time, they will add more sugar to it as part of the whole process. so they'll still use some of the same ingredients to make the alcohols. but overall, you will see more sugar. so you really got to still read the labels also, it's important to point out that some of these non-alcoholic drinks still do have some amount of alcohol, 0.5 present versus five to 12%. so that's something to keep in mind as well, especially if you're talking about kids, john. >> yeah. pay attention to what's on the label. all the sugars. let me some of the

mocktails will all that simple syrup, very, very sweet, tasty. that's what supersweet sanjay, thank you very much. we'll talk about drinking anytime you can scan the qr code on your screen and submitted your questions on cutting back on alcohol. sanjay, will be back tomorrow to answer all of them so if it's if it's choice between more carbs, more alcohol which morning going for oh, that's a very fair question. >> i don't like sweet drinks yes. so it's not typically it's not a fact, but you are a beer kind of swore i like i like a good lager, like never again today. hey, neighbor, like the cheaper, the better for me. >> i'm going more alcohol okay. >> let's turn to this. which one of my goals i'm going here. here we go. >> florida just issued hurricane and storm surge watches as each could see, a direct hit later this week, a storm to watch in the person watching it for us, cnn derek van dam tracking all of us, were talking about the storm expected to become hurricane helene. tell us more yeah. >> good morning. and here it is

in the western caribbean not all that exciting just yet, but trust me, there's a lot of warm water, low shear environment ahead of it. so it is forecast to strengthen and strengthened rather quickly. it's been kind of broken apart on this western side because of some stronger winds associated with an upper low and hurricane john that made landfall in southern mexico overnight last night, but the storm that's impacting the continental united states here within the next few days is helene or soon to be helene ahead of that, we have issued that national hurricane center has issued these watches really focusing in on the big bend. we call this the catcher's mitt of florida because it doesn't take much to push up storm surge and we'll get a lot of it associated with the system right here. near cedar key, we often talk about this location ten to 15 feet above normally dry ground. there's going to be a lot of wind associated with this system could increase over 100 miles per hour in some locations. we've got to watch the storm moving inland as well, kate, because it will bring rain, flood threat, and the potential for power outages

far inland away from the coast derek, thank you so much for that update. >> all right. thank you, kate. this is a strange one, foia elon musk has yet another lawsuit on his hands. that's not strange. what is strangers who the plaintiff is the party game cards against humanity is taking the spacex ceo to court for allegedly trespassing on land. they own in texas land. the company purchased years ago to try and block trump from building the border wall. cnn's matt egan is with me now. there is a lot to unpack here, but i never thought i'd hear cars against humanity suing anybody. >> yes, sir. this is such a ridiculous story, has got a little bit of everything, right? elon musk, donald trump the border wall and yes, cards against humanity. now, in case you aren't familiar with the game, this is a party game known for its edgy, sometimes offensive sense of humor. i wouldn't want my mom or my kids anywhere near the versions that i've played or if they are playing don't tell me that they're playing. i understand

there are some people jie versions as well. anyway, back in 2017, this left leaning company, they pulled off this elaborate stunt where they bought land near u.s.-mexico border in texas. the goal was to try to block then president trump's border wall now cars against the man at his filed this 15 $15,000,000 lawsuit against spacex. that's the elon musk company that actually has a launch facility just a few miles away from where this vacant lot now the lawsuit accuses spacex of a lot of things, including egregious appropriation of property dumping, enormous mountains of gravel, bringing generators to run equipment in lights. the loss of even tries to throw some shade at elon musk. there's a key line here where they say that musk, by allowing his company to wrongfully operate on cards against the manatees property cast the shadow of possible association between him and cards against humanity. and nothing could be
