3:00 pm
recently. >> i thought the cattle was india guess one. >> and by the way back matter is no joke, you serious right now? >> oh, man, we're just five weeks out from election day. we've got more snl coming our way, just 38 days now before election day. how about that that's going to do it for this edition of cnn newsroom. thanks so much for joining me. i'm jessica dean. stay with cnn. our coverage continues he is with jim sciutto and kaitlan collins. have great night
3:01 pm
is cnn breaking news the cnn newsroomi'm kaitlan collins in new york. we are following breaking news it was on two fronts tonight. first, in the middle east, as fears are growing there of an all-out war in the region israel is intensifying its attacks tonight. now, going after both hezbollah and the houthi rebels in yemen. so far striking dozens targets, including weapons and infrastructure in southern and eastern lebanon. and along with two seaports and yemen, we're going to it live to cnn's jim sciutto, who is in tel aviv just a few moments for the latest on the ground there. but we're starting tonight with the breaking news here at home officials now say at least 90 people have died across the southeast following hurricane helene. but the true toll remains unclear as many people still don't have cell phone or internet service days after that powerful storms swept through cnn's rafael romo is joining me live now from asheville, north carolina. that's in buncombe county
3:02 pm
where we have tonight. just lord, at least 30 people. so far, haven't been killed as a result of storm-related deaths ravil, can you just give us a sense? you know, we were tracking this obviously when it was hitting florida last thursday, seeing the aftermath on friday but now it seems like we're getting a clearer picture of just the true devastation in the other states that were hit by hurricane helene right. kaitlan and led me tell you right now, we're getting a light rain here where we are, which is the last thing that this part of western north carolina needs right now. and yes, you were mentioning at the beginning of that officials here in buncombe county have said that 30 people have died. they had warned that already yesterday that they had as many as 60 people unaccounted for in today that confirmed the news that an additional 30 people, 30 people now are dead here and buncombe county that brings the total end, the state of north
3:03 pm
carolina to 36. and at least 90 in southeastern states that were hit by the massive storm helene, that hit this area in the last few days and let me tell you something else. kaitlan, it's very difficult for many people here because officials here in the county were saying that they got more than 1,000 reports of missing people. now the reality is that it's hard to know who's missing, who is in trouble because of the problem with communications here, no cell phone service no internet. so it is impossible for many people who live here to call loved ones, to call their families and let them know that they're doing okay. now relief is coming to north carolina. that's the good news. we heard from governor roy cooper earlier who said that a 19 out-of-state a search and rescue teams are helping in the local effort already there's
3:04 pm
also an additional three search and rescue team teams from the federal government. the national guard, here in north carolina, rescued 100 people and altogether hundreds of people have been rescued in the last few days. and also we have to remember, and this is something very important that to today governor cooper said that the white house has approved a federal major disaster declaration that he had requested yesterday. so that's going to expedite a lot of the help the people need right now. the food, the water that is being brought to this area to asheville and they have to air lifted because there are hundreds of roads that are simply impassable at this point, kaitlan, so that gives you an idea of the dire situation that many people are facing right now here in western north carolina, kaitlan yeah, it's just hard to even get a full picture of it given
3:05 pm
that lack of communication, rafael romo. thank you for being there on the ground, will continue to check in with you over the next two hours in asheville, north carolina? i do want to speak to who rafael was just talking about there in north carolina governor roy cooper is joining me now, live. governor. i mean, just it's to see this devastation is remarkable and it almost feels like we're not getting the full picture of it. can you just tell us what you're seeing right now and what your biggest concern is as of this moment? >> this is a devastating catastrophe of historic proportions people that i talked to in western north carolina say they have never seen anything like this are number one priority right now is getting people out and getting supplies in. there are search and rescue teams from 19 states, from the federal government, from our national guard from our state and local teams who are out there rescuing people as we speak the
3:06 pm
biggest problem is getting to them because more than 200 at roads are closed many counties and areas where people are are landlocked cell phones, and internet service is down so we know there are a lot of families and friends that are worried about people and there have been about 1,000 requests for that to 11 to report. it. if you are looking for someone but we've been pushing the cell phone companies and they've been very hard. we've been finding ways to help them get in, to get cell phone service backup that is beginning to make progress in coming back. the more of a cell phones come back, the more we will know where people are and what the situation is. same with power. in the meantime, food and water is critical because people are cut off and it's very difficult, if not
3:07 pm
impossible, to get trucks into some of these places. so we're having to do it by air. >> there is a massive effort underway to coordinate and make sure that we're i'm getting supplies and water to people because life, it's a life and death situation here governor, did you say that you have reports that 1,000 people are missing? >> well, we've gotten reports that people are concerned about finding 1,000 people. there have not been getting into had not been able to get in touch with them. there have been about 1,000 calls. we don't know the results of all of those calls. we know that a lot of people just simply don't have cell phone service. they don't have internet service. and are likely safe. but we also know that they're going to be a lot of natality from this tragedy. we don't know how many, because search and rescue operations are still going on.
3:08 pm
there's a process for confirming desk before they are officially announced by the state of being able to contact families and things is you have to go through the medical examiner's office but the key here is making sure we're rescuing people and getting them the help that they need. >> has that been an issue, governor, where? because there is a lack of cell service, and internet service, that you are having trouble notifying people. the next of kin, next of kin about their the deaths of their loved ones no that is not the issue. the issue is being able to find where people are and to be able to contact people to check on them if they're okay. that's that's the issue with the cell phones being down and just communication with each other. cell phone companies have come in with their deployable assets and have gotten up some service today. we expect that that will continue the cell phone companies have entered into an
3:09 pm
agreement if one of them gets a tower up or connection up, than all of the services can use that tower. >> we are helping them to get in because landslides have cut fiber for the phone companies. >> this is this is just truly unprecedented in the devastation that we have seen here. the good thing is that we are prepared for disasters. we have 24 shelters that are up now providing assistance to people the biggest issue we're finding now is getting the food and the water to people because we're having to do so much of that by air how many people would you estimate? >> don't have access to cell service, right now, do you have a guess of just how many people that could potentially include in your state? >> we don't know kaitlan. there was some counties that still don't have any service. there's some counties that have gotten some substantial recovery of service and at&t and verizon, they all have those numbers and they're
3:10 pm
reporting those numbers to us. i just don't have it in front of me. we are pushing them though to get that service up as much as possible. that's what we know that's critical you just mentioned the death toll. >> governor, and it's 90 people total from this storm so far. but we're tracking it in your home state and we just got a staggering update a few moments ago that officials in buncombe county, which is of course where asheville is, that the death toll? there is already it 30 people can you first just tell us do you expect this death toll to get even higher than what it is right now we know that there will be a number of fatalities. >> this is a tragic, devastating event so that we know there will be a lot of fatalities. there's a process that the state goes through before confirming deaths. so the buncombe county number and the state number that that will be worked out soon in the next few days we're working to try to rescue people and to save people, but we know that there
3:11 pm
will be quite a few fatalities because of the devastation that we are seeing and what rescuers are seeing on the ground can i ask you, governor, just before we let you go and thank you for your time because i know you're very busy, but but our colleague anna navarro was tweeting saying that they'd had no contact with some of her family members, her relatives for over 72 hours since that storm. >> her concern was a failure at a medical condition that requires oxygen and respiratory medication. if there someone watching who also cannot get in touch with a loved one what should they do? what is the step that they can take? this moment to try to be able to establish communication with them we're asking people to call to 11 because we're doing welfare checks when they get on that list, then officials, local officials are going in trying to get to the people to do welfare checks on them to determine if they are okay?
3:12 pm
>> governor roy cooper, thank you for your time tonight thank you i want to bring in keith turi. he is a fema acting associate administrator for response and recovery. and keith, thank you for being here. you just heard the governor laying out what is happening in north carolina i know obviously they need all the help that they can get and first establishing communications so they can find out if that that number of people who right now, people cannot get in touch with. he said it's about 1,000 reports so far missing people that they just can't can't get in touch with what is the biggest need right now. you're dealing with well, i'd say a couple of things i think first and foremost, making sure that we're supporting all of our state and local partners across the entire impacted area, as you know, the storm has impacted a huge portion of the southeast from florida all the way up to north carolina. >> they're all dealing with slightly different circumstances, different times and places of their of those bonds. but the but we're working to make sure our teams are embedded with all of them.
3:13 pm
and in every state that has been impacted and making sure that we're helping with just the kinds of things you just heard the governor talk about. making sure that communications gets up, making sure that roadways get cleared, and doing anything that we can do from the federal government's perspective, to help facilitate that process. >> and as you anticipate what you're what you're tracking next and trying to help fill their needs in the aftermath of this, what is that going to look like? because i think the concern that a lot of people have is there's attention in the days right after obviously we're just now even getting a fuller understanding of how bad it is it's in places like north carolina, in surrounding areas what's the concern when you're on day seven of this or day eight of this, and people want to make sure that the federal government is still there to help them yeah, i can assure you that the federal government will be with him to help them. we add folks embedded and staff embedded in north carolina and in every other state before the storm. and we're going to be there throughout the entire response process. as you mentioned. and
3:14 pm
as you can imagine, the priority today is still safety. and so making sure that everyone stays safe, we have active search and rescue ongoing going in a number of areas and then making sure those critical lifelines of power, of communication, of transportation get up and running. but from there, but we'll continue to move into recovery, which will include providing assistance directly to survivors. as you mentioned, the president has declared a major disaster declaration in north carolina and in florida that opens up assistance two individuals, survivors, and we're encouraging anyone in those states that's impacted to register for assistance from fema, you can do that at disasterassistance.gov by calling 1806 to 13362 or going to the fema app, what that will do is give you an opportunity for direct financial assistance potentially two individuals, survivors. but for things like immediate these that they have for for food, water, et cetera, or also for temporary housing or should or repairs to their homes. so it's going to be a long process. the infrastructure impacts here
3:15 pm
across all the states are significant, amount, but fema is gonna be with them the whole way through yeah. >> keith turi. thank you for that. our thoughts are with everybody in north carolina dealing with this and the other surrounding states as well, who we're dealing with the aftermath of hurricane helene. thank you so much for joining us from fema. we're gonna have more on our breaking news as we are closely following the aftermath. hurricane helene in north carolina. also tracking major developments in the middle east. we'd back in just a moment walz and j.d. >> vance in their first and only face-to-face debate. and cnn has covered with the best political team in the business a cnn special event, the place presidential debate. tuesday at nine on cnn. >> what's the greatest invention of all time, new hands-free skechers, slip-ins. you just slipped in and they're on it's like they have an invisible built-in shoehorn. so your foot slides into place without bending down or touching your shoes, then he'll pillow technology keeps your foot coffee and secure hands free, sketch your slippers

3:20 pm
did. >> i'm bill, we're on the california coast and this is cnn middle east, iran, israel launching attacks against two iran backed groups hezbollah in lebanon. those pictures you're seeing there, the houthi rebels in yemen tonight, has been reeling from yet another blow to its leadership, confirming the death of a senior member of its group filed halloween. the israeli strikes in beirut on friday that killed its leader for more than three decades, hassan nasrallah, cnn's nic robertson has been tracking all these developments and had the opportunity today to travel with the israeli air force all the way to yemen where the strikes occurred. what did you find along the ocean? yeah, this was a idf embed bove one of their ads refuel tanker aircraft that was supporting the f 35s. >> so we're taking part in that mission in hudaydah in yemen we didn't have our own
3:21 pm
cameraman a board, but of course saw the operations, saw the multiple times. and the f 35s came, came up to refuel and that was part of the message of this mission not just the strike on the ground, but to signal that as the prime minister said, and as the army chief of staff said later today after the strike that, israel can reach out to its enemies and onboard that aircraft. this is an aging airframe 50, 60-years-old, almost. it's an old commercial airliner. it's fitted out with these huge fuel tanks. but it's necessary for the f 30 to arrive on their target fully, fueled and that's what it means to be able to project your force in the modern military environment. >> and that's key because that message i imagine is being sent equally to the houthis in yemen into iran as well absolutely. >> and the reason that it's been done now is because the houthis have been targeting central israel over the last two weeks have been three
3:22 pm
ballistic missile strikes very close to this area, tel aviv. and according to the houthis yesterday, they were targeting ben-gurion airport while the prime minister had just landed so as you've rightly say, this isn't just a message to the houthis, but it's one for iran to read as well. incidentally, one of the houthi missiles was fired towards tel aviv the day after one of the hezbollah commanders, who had been a hezbollah envoy to the houthis in yemen, helping train them with missiles the day after he was killed. that was another time they fired a missile here. so it's a message. >> and to get if they were to get the airport, which is just behind us, a few miles in that direction, that would be an enormous blow to israel to tel aviv. nic robertson, thanks so much president biden says, he'll be speaking with the israeli prime minister benjamin and netanyahu biden telling reporters today an all out war must be avoided
3:23 pm
the us sees the possibility of a limited ground incursion of israel into lebanon in the coming days and an all out war in the middle east to be avoided you've already taking precautions relative to our embassies personnel will want to leave but we're working like hell with the french and many others thank you for a look at iran's role in all this and how they're watching, joining me now is karim sadjadpour, who is a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace, kareem thanks so much for joining us this sunday evening. >> i want to ask you about what nixon, nic and i were just discussing there. israel signaling to iran in the midst of all this is as many in this region are measuring how iran might respond to the killing of nasrallah. given it's close relationship with hezbollah is
3:24 pm
iran reading these messages about israel's ability to strike far and wide as a determining factor to any retaliation at my carry out. >> they have to be jim over the last several months, israel has struck several devastating blows against iran and its proxies in particular hezbollah saw iran has to be taking israel's resolved very seriously right now. if we take a step back, the goal of iran and its axis of resistance is basically twofold. they want to replace israel with palestine and they want to try to defeat the u.s. led world order evict america from the middle east and hassan nasrallah, in my view, after ayatollah khomeini, the leader in iran is, was the most important member of this axis of resistance and his
3:25 pm
absence is going to be hugely felt for the iranians axis, as you describe it, as often described as a ring of fire. right now. and of course, you have hamas in gaza depleted, though not destroyed, but certainly depleted. hezbollah, certainly depleted given the strikes on its leadership as well as as many of its weapons storage facilities. and now, as you look at the images of fire that we're showing, there from the strike on the houthis in yemen has israel effectively muted that threat from the ring of fire? >> jim, i think it's too early to say you and i have been watching the middle east for a long time, and it's always wrong to prematurely celebrate the defeat of an adversary. i remember very vividly when george w bush shortly after the iraq war announced mission accomplished but i think what
3:26 pm
is very clear here is that in terms of its military and its intelligence, israel is far more sophisticated than its adversaries in the axis of resistance. and i think this isn't part because you have any iran and 85-year-old supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini he's not left the country since 1989 and you kind of compare iran and its proxies, they're all operating out of failing states not a lot of resources, not a lot of technological sophistication and they have certainly in the last weeks and months shown themselves to be outmatched by israel and for israel, this has been a useful diversion from the carnage which we've all witnessed in gaza to ask you about iran in that there have been some signals from iran in recent days and similar to what we've heard in recent weeks something of a
3:27 pm
message of an intent to deescalate or at least avoid escalating and i wonder in your read, is that because tehran does not want to escalate or that it believes if it would or would attempt to that it would lose did it would get pushed back, that it will get attacked much like it's seen its proxies in lebanon and yemen get attack by israel jim it's more of the latter. >> i'm always reminded of wonderful quote from hannah arendt, the great german american philosopher. she said every revolutionary the day after the revolution becomes a conservative, because suddenly you have a lot, you can lose because that you want to preserve and likewise, the iranian regime has a lot to lose. i told harmony. as i mentioned, he's the longest serving autocrat and the world, you don't get to be the longest serving autocrat and
3:28 pm
the world. if you're suicidal. >> and so his a bind right now is that if he doesn't show any reaction, he's going to lose face, both the eyes of its proxies and in the eyes of its people. >> and every dictator wants to be here. but if he reacts to strongly, he could lose his head. he's an a real bind, right now. >> and i think they're probably in a shell shock trying to figure out right now how they should react. >> and the last thing i'll say, jim, is that iran and its proxies are very effective when there's an element of surprise like the october 7 hamas attacks on israel, when everyone is paying attention on high alert are much less effective yeah, and listen i think to quite prominent leaders, nasrallah in lebanon of hezbollah and is mile hernia of hamas in tehran, no less both eliminated by israel just in the last several weeks. so you can imagine the fear, perhaps among some in tehran,
3:29 pm
karim sadjadpour. thanks so much for joining thank you, jim, while we continue to follow the breaking news as well out of the us out of north carolina. in the aftermath of this devastating storm, we'll have more right after a break this was the highest 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 tonight at nine on cnn you're leaving me for a turbotax expert who charges me last but gives me more seeing it. adam is probe. >> she's been thinking twice believe turbotax your prize it's time to move on to a turbotax expert break. this fault switched toward turbotax live expert and we'll beat the

3:43 pm
honestly, i believe she was born that way there's something wrong with kamala and i just don't know what it is, but there is definitely something missing. >> joe biden became a mentally impaired kamala was born that way about it only a mentally disabled person? kristen could have allowed this to happen to our country. anybody would know this >> you heard that, right? that is donald trump referring to his 2024 opponent as mentally disabled. a comment that i should note as warranted a rebuke from the american association of people with disabilities. here with me tonight. me, she'll cross, who is a democratic strategist, a former campaign adviser to barak obama also scott jennings, cnn, senior political commentator and former special assistant to president george w
3:44 pm
bush. and scott obviously, that's what trump said yesterday. he just repeated the part about her being mentally impaired earlier for today, we're seeing reaction from this coming from, from candidates like larry hogan. it was a tough race and maryland for the senate also, trump's ally, lindsey graham, being asked about this today, i mean, putting the offensive nature of it even just aside for a moment and it is offensive obviously to people with disabilities. 37 days out from the election. is that what you want the republican nominee's saying on stage at a rally well, look, it's tough rhetoric, no doubt. >> i would just point out that every time kamala harris opens her mouth, every time walz does, every time a democratic surrogate for their campaign does they tell a bunch of lies about donald trump and about j.d. vance and about what their record is they lie about ivf. they locked about project 2025. they lie about the dictator thing, the bloodbath thing, the ripping up the constitution thing. it's lie after lie, after lie. and i don't hear a lot of democrats rushing to television screens to commit
3:45 pm
rhetorical ritualistic suicide over every time their campaign does that. is it rough language? yes. he should not use the term mentally disabled. i think it's perfectly fine to call into question whether your opponent is made smart decisions and officer not but you can't deny that the democrats have been sharp, sharp, sharp to the point of lying about trump this entire campaign. so i'm gonna give him a little grace on tough rhetoric in october here, which you always get in the fall of a presidential campaign but as calling someone mentally disabled which is offensive to people who do have mental disabilities that's tough rhetoric in your view, scott, i just said he should not use the term mentally disabled. it is perfectly fine to call into question whether your opponent has made smart decisions in the current office in which they hold which she is the vice president, and she has made decisions. that's perfectly fine. i would not use that term if i were him yeah. >> of course. no one is saying you can't criticize a political opponent, but calling them mentally disabled. me. she says i was listening to those comments and going back and listening to the full context
3:46 pm
of them. i mean, even trump himself as he was speaking in erie, pennsylvania yesterday, called it a dark speech in his own words it wasn't just dark. >> it was ignorant. he was defaming and it's quite hurtful to individuals not only who suffer from disabilities themselves with the families of those it was my older brother was born with the umbilical cord around his neck. he has the capacity of a ten-year-old. he lives with that every single day for my family. that is considered a very offensive commentary than donald trump did. but in addition to that, this is something that is not beyond the pale for him. he's known orphans of rhetoric, but he did it on purpose. there's something else that's dark here throughout history, specifically eugenics history, specifically african-american history. we've seen time and again where powerful white man tried to basically create this idea that black people were less smart, that their brains were smaller, was even a pseudoscience, were very long time. i think that what we see in donald trump is somebody that sometimes media gives a little bit too much credit to. there a dark history that he likes to invoke. he does it because it's a dog whistle.
3:47 pm
he's also someone who knows that his words have meaning. he is using this to basically continue to try to diminish kamala harris because he cannot attack her on her policies. i agree with scott partially on this if he was to do that, if he was to come up with and stick to policy, have a conversation about but things he disagrees with in democratic policy, that is fair game. this is a guy who does not want to have a policy discussion at all. there's a lot there. he chose to go dark, he chose to go aggressive. he chose to go offensive. and that has nothing to do with the election coming up very shortly as much as it is the man who happens to be. this is the rhetoric he uses on purpose. republicans call for a toned down rhetoric after the assassination attempts against donald trump. donald trump is the one who continues to amplify that rhetoric what do you make of that well, i'm surprised to hear somebody say that donald trump's responsible for the rhetoric that led to possibly lead to the fact that he was nearly assassinated twice. but we'll leave that hanging there. the reality is, i think donald trump just attacked michael one thing does want to have a policy conversation. he loved to talk about the policies that
3:48 pm
lead to inflation. he loved to talk about the policies at the border. i think he'd love to talk about the policies that gave joe biden kamala harris under a 40% approval rating for most of their term in office, and make this election a referendum on those policies and whether we need change or not. those are the correct vectors for him in this case campaign. and i think there's some evidence in the polling that it's working and our own cnn poll that was released last week, 51% of people said that trump had a successful term, only 37% said the same of biden. so if you want to have a policy debate, which i think trump does, he's on pretty solid ground to do it. >> i mean, she when it comes to this, harris has taken his tactic of when trump questioned her race and when he said other things at her in the past, i've saying, you know, she's not harping on it. she doesn't spend all at a time on it. show offs and maybe have a short response to move on. how do you think she should respond if at all to something like this? >> i think she should not. this is a guy who was trying to bait her. he's trying to draw her in. she should ignore

3:54 pm
rebels in yemen. >> i want to bring in journalist and foreign policy analyst, rula jebreal, good to have you on this sunday evening. the discussion now here in israel is about a next phase of these operations against hezbollah and lebanon that would include a ground offensive. can you remind our viewers what israel's experience has been in recent years going back decades when it carries out ground operations inside lebanon, it's been a dangerous, often bloody bloody prospect absolutely. >> jim well, the first invasion that israel carried out of lebanon was in 78, actually, when we look at hezbollah's own history, it was born, it was burning without of that car of the second invasion in 1982 when israel invaded and occupied and slaughtered a new start starvation and besieged
3:55 pm
bed this is what has been lowest birth so if you visit lebanon, nowaday, they will remember every invasion when israel decided in 2006 that it was time to eliminate, has baillod objective was we will go and eliminate his hezbollah. that war lasted 34 days. and by the international community or by the west, it was considered in the draw. nobody won hezbollah us are bought yes, many people were killed. i believe 1,200 lebanese were killed, 100 israelis but has been less or biden became the most powerful force in lebanon militarily and politically. so it goes back to the same idea. israel caught solve every issues by waging more wars and more invasions and more occupations. it has to solve the underlying crisis that exists. and so far they chosen to opt for more war is
3:56 pm
more expansions and more and more bumping and there's something that when i visited multiple times, i always read on the walls of every refugee camps. the refugee camps i always visited was cerberus shatila, that basically endured a massacre and 82 the people in suffer shatila were civilians. there were guaranteed, they were told that they're the united states guaranteed that security with phillip habib, who was envoy, american envoy, and yet they were slaughtered. so from that moment the people in beirut to vote everywhere the sentence, and it's a sentence that belonged to a palestinian writer. tiny who said, you can decapitate people. body fall, but ideas indoor and the main ideas that nobody wants to live under military occupation well, the question is, what is the path towards a negotiated solution here? because the fact is hezbollah has been raining missiles down on northern israel since the day after the october 7 attacks at the point
3:57 pm
that northern israel is now evacuated more than 60,000 people. the biden administration put an enormous amount of difficult diplomatic capital into just such a path. and then the strike happened. is there still a viable path to a negotiated solution between israel and hezbollah to be more accurate according to an investigation by, by the bbc and others, in the crossfire exchange between lebanon and israel 80% of that fire was actually started from israel to towards hezbollah. >> yes, hezbollah answered and hezbollah basically launched missiles on october 8, 8, 2023, but it was not to israel, not only to northern israel, but that the sheeba farms area, that where there's a military installation of israel and its considering an occupied territories so hezbollah and my understanding from the last round of negotiation has been

issued basically a set of demands. there was a global request. i'm called for a ceasefire. they're willing to do it and they asked what the arab league asked, whether saudi asked, which has to end the mass slaughter of gaza israel decided that they chose basically to expand the war instead of ending the war in gaza and limit and somehow entering into a ceasefire deal with hamas or with the protection of the arab league. remember, to eat two days ago, both the saudis, the egyptians, and others offered israel to guarantee their security. and this is the third time they offered to guarantee their security and exchange of one thing ending the occupation well part of a longer discussion we're gonna have to leave it there tonight. religious. thanks so much for joining us and we will have much more news. straight ahead. >> your yard this your sanctuary, where you should feel free let's talk about the
