differently as you read the steps that he's taken, what he certainly could have done and the other interesting part to me was you talk about how it was that really became the modern era of politics that we see with televised debate. aides that people were watching and it made me think of the televised debates that, that we're watching now, or maybe not many more, you want hosted a presidential debate in the last election. obviously that was why you must write. but the 2021 was just, i would say out of this world, i don't know. i guess 2016 was as well chris wallace, the book is fascinating and very timely. thank you so much. >> thank you thank you so much for joining us. >> the news continues here on cnn quote, you will not survive the dark and dire warnings aimed at millions in the path of hurricane milton. >> now strengthening again when extremely dangerous, category five plus the kremlin calling legendary journalist bob woodward with new reporting tonight, that trump and putin

have shared as many as seven secret calls after trump left the white house. and that trump gave putin peculiar gifts. kamala harris tonight, seizing on this new reporting and kfile how striking again on earth thing and interviewed jd vance did not want trump to see, but he'll see it tonight. let's go outfront >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. we are following several breaking stories, including bombshell, new details about donald trump's secret calls. after he left office. and his peculiar gifts to vladimir putin, details on that in just a moment, i want to begin though first with what is shaping up to be the worst hurricane to hit florida in 100 years? this hour, hurricane milton gaining strength now back to category five, which simply is the highest rating that exists. dire warnings from officials tonight. at some saying this is not survivable and we've got new video with the category five monster from space, right now, heading straight towards tampa for a possible direct hit anticipated 20 2 million people in the path

of that storm debris already piled on the ground from helene just two weeks ago, you know, all kinds of small pieces, concrete. would things that become missiles with 165 mile an hour winds are already dislodged. and in piles horrifying to contemplate what might be about to happen. and right now, one of the largest evacuations in florida history is underway. right now. it's just bumper to bumper. there's questions about gas people obviously worried about running out of it. i mean, all of these deeply serious concerns in these final hours ahead of what meteorologists are calling an historic strike. chad myers begins our coverage for job front live from the weather center here in chad. tell us exactly what happens here, how soon does this start well, for the people of south florida actually, it could start tonight. >> some of these storms that are kind of south and west of key west those could rotate enough to make a small tornado and it's a small tornado until it hits your house. and then it's not a small tornado anymore because it did hit the

one thing that you cared about. but i think probably 2:00 tomorrow afternoon is when we will see the first tropical storm winds on the west coast of florida. and by this time tomorrow night, the entire state is going to have tropical storm-force winds, except possibly there in the panhandle. hurricane hunters are flying through the storm right now, there's a little break during the day that's why we didn't get to category five earlier. but it's 165 mile per hour storm that is higher than it was supposed to be in the 11:00 forecast by 15 miles per hour. so this it's not slowing down. this is not getting down to that. oh, we're going to suck in a bunch of dry air and it's going to get some shear. this is concerning, this is concerning that this storm is continuing to be this strong for this long now we talk about the cone. the cone is still north of tampa, new port richey all the way down to almost naples because it it can still wobble. it actually wobbled earlier today in wobbled a little bit farther to the south, which means that now anna maria island towards

sarasota, you're going to get worse whether then you might get an up and denied and when the storm could have been closer to you, the big story here, yes, there's going to be wind and there's going to be wind damage trees are down in briefs are going to be gone. but why they say to please get out is because of the water the water will be and it's moving. talk about storm surge is not just some lake that kind of fills up your yard. this is moving water that could knock down your home and it's going to be ten to 15 feet above the normal sea level. all of a sudden that's going over barrier islands. that's knocking away homes that aren't elevated, that aren't on stilts, not on pillars. and yes, we're going to have this larger i people ask me all day, where's it going to hit? it's going to hit everywhere this whole purple area will see category three wins or higher so millions will be without power and millions and of course, sitting near a high tide, you've got ten to 15 feet on top of that. they say devastating and not survivable

alright. >> thank you very much, chad myers, we'll get back to chad and a lot more storm coverage coming up here. a special report in just a few moments but right now, breaking exclusive new reporting about a secret relationship, trump has been carrying on with vladimir putin, one that we now know tonight includes as many as seven private phone calls since trump left office. another revelation tonight is a bit bizarre and that is that trump sent putin individual covid, tests at the height of covid. now according to legendary journalist bob woodward's new book, those tests were sent to putin during the height of the pandemic in 2020, right? when, when nobody could get a hold of tests during a call, but time hooten tells trump quote, please don't tell anybody you sent these to me. and trump replies. and woodward's the one putting quotes around this. i don't care fine. putin says no, no, i don't want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me. they don't care about me now, trump sending putin personal covid test is at the least fascinating. i mean, how did they get to putin, who knew about them, to trump's send

them to other world leaders, or is this just special for putin? and then did putin really use covid tests sent from america putting his dna on them? i mean, what was this about well, today, vice president kamala harris had this to say about it >> and remember, your listeners will remember people were dying by the hundreds yeah, we, everybody was scrambling to get these kits. the tests, the covid test kits couldn't get them, couldn't get them, couldn't get them anywhere, right. and this guy who was president of the united states is sending them to russia to a murderous dictator for his personal use. you getting played and some would say, look, i grew up in the neighborhood some would say you're getting pumped. yeah. if you stand in favor of somebody who is an adversary over your friends on principles that we all agree on. >> i will trump campaign responding to these campaign, these claims

read part of the statement. none of these made up stories by bob woodward are true under the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of trump derangement syndrome woodward is an angry little man and he's clearly upset because president trump is successfully suing him because of the unauthorized publishing of recordings he made previously. there's just a little taste of the statement. now, cnn presidential historian tim naftali, who of course expert has been the head of the nixon library, tells out front that former presidents talking to adversaries actually, that may not we knew in concept. but there is no record from woodward's reporting that a really crucial thing happened, which is that a single person in the intelligence or national security communities knew about trump and putin's calls. in fact, the new york times reporting tonight of the 19 officials that they spoke to, not one was told about these calls. so that's crucial context always matters here. trump's desire to be close to putin is important. his admiration for him is important and his clear support of putin's view on ukraine as just one example opens the door

to something deeply serious a former president talking with a sitting world leader in secret, contradicting us government policy so let's just take ukraine and what trump has said publicly tells us a lot do you want ukraine to win this war? i want the war to stop. i want to save lives that are being uselessly, people being killed by the millions. it's the millions. >> just to clarify in the question do you believe it's in the u.s. best interest for ukraine to win this war? >> yes, i think it's a us best interest to get this war finished and just get it done. all right, negotiated deal negotiate a deal that's exactly what putin says. he wants you hazardous because i already said that we did not refuse to talk we're willing to negotiate mean that's the policy of putin echoed by trump. a deal where he gets ukrainian land then eventually of course, much, if not all of the largest country in europe.

but trump's support of putin on this existential issue for the russian dictator is noticed in russia, where state media is portrays donald trump is vladimir putin an acolyte the war in 24 hours. >> this scheme suits as well this scheme suits as well. >> she says it. it sure does. and it also does not come out of the blue for years. trump, of course, has had glowing things to say about putin i also have know, with president potent. >> i knew putin very well. i got along with him, actually great potent is a nicer person than i am. so now i like putin. now, putin called me a genius by the way. >> of course, the genius in this relationship, maybe putin who has maintained a direct relationship with a former president against us protocol. alright, everyone's with me here at let me start with jeremy herb. you have read this book, so you know, all the detail in it, all the new reporting from the legendary bob woodward here. what more?

does he say about trump's relationship with putin? >> you know, it's fascinating when you pour through the book and read it as just how much bob wilbert really brings you inside the room of these conversations? the conversations that donald trump's had with putin also, president biden has had, you know, he says that this is based on interviews with firsthand participants, people who were in their own listen tonight and documents. so that's what he is basing it on when you have this this transcript that is effectively votes around it, but quotes around it, i need you doesn't put quotes around everything, but he put quotes around this where putin tells trump, please don't tell anyone you sent these to me. and then when you get to the calls, he he says that an aide told him there may be as many as seven calls, but he also has a scene there you're where the aid is sent out of the room. he says trump's sent this aid out of the rooms and told the aid i'm having a private call with putin and so it gets you just a little bit more of a glimpse. obviously as you just laid out, there's a ton of context around trump's relationship with putin, but it just, it gives us just that much more of a sense of really what he is

thinking as he has these conversations, right? >> a private conversations. i'm having everyone leave the room. again. we don't know what was said, but, you know, it's highly unusual. let's just put it that way to say the very least. and then you put the context around it and lulu so that the trump campaign statement i shared part of it they say now the stories are true. then they say president trump gave him, referring to woodward. absolutely no access for this trash book that either belongs in the bargain bin of the fiction section of a discount bookstore or used as toilet tissue. okay. sometimes when you get a response that aggressive, it's because you know, you hit something, you hit something that was frantic so what's your reaction when you hear about all this i think it's really interesting that that's the way the trump campaign responded. >> it says to me that they know how damaging this is at the end of the day, donald trump has had this long-standing relationship with putin. the way that this is described, i have to tell you, not only is it highly unusual, it sounds

almost romantic in nature, don't tell them that i gave you this gift, you know, please i want to protect you. it's a bizarre kind of relationship that they seem to have. it's very it's very odd, it's not the relationship chip that you typically hear about between two world leaders the other thing that really struck me is this is not donald trump talking to one of his golfing buddies. this is donald trump talking to the head of an adversarial power, a nuclear power that has invaded a sovereign country that the sitting us president has been. absolutely pinpointing as one of the main threats to this country. this is about the policy of the united states. it might be fine for, donald trump to have a relationship with world leaders, but not a world leader who actually presents a threat to the interests of the united states. >> but you're not talking about a boris johnson or something like that. they'll crystal, i mean, how odd is this to you? i mean, would you say there's something wrong with a former president having as many as seven calls with an adversary, right? who's, who's

been talking about and threatening lobbying nukes at us allies or the u.s. in the course of the ukraine war how do you even get your head around this i mean, that really is the other stuff is bizarre sending as precedent sending putin the covid kid, but it doesn't seem to threaten us interests. >> this is really appalling. i mean, this is he presumably some of these conversations maybe all of them happened after putin invaded ukraine. after we had sanctions against russia. trump is sitting there having private conversations with putin, who we are doing our best to defeat in ukraine. >> who knows what they're saying? he kicks his aid out of the room. is he giving putin advice on how to deal with the republican party and how to make a good case for himself here in america. okay. is putin giving him trump advice is prudent giving trump instructions is putin promising trump's certain things? if trump rallies the republicans to be not pro ukraine, and instead pro-putin trump's sitting at mar-a-lago. there's

no there's no national security official on the phone there where there would be presumably most of the time at least if you actually seeing the white it hasn't. if you're president, there is no record of it at all. trump sitting with all these classified documents, he took to mar-a-lago we really i mean, i just the degree of not just irresponsibility, but possible really terrible behavior and damage to the interest of the united states. here, it's really extraordinary. >> you point out sitting there with all the classified that information that he had with him at mar-a-lago that we now know. i mean jeremy, you know what would also just the context here to remind everybody of the seriousness of the situation with putin but when i mentioned the nukes that he is reporting that the u.s. government had assessed that there was a 50% chance that putin could actually use a nuclear weapon regarding the ukraine war what more did you learn about that? >> yeah, you know, obviously the quotes in this book are fascinating, but some of the really most interesting details i think whatever it has is just

how much the white house was concerned that putin actually might use nukes woodward reports on a call to happen before the war where he calls it a hot 50 minute call that biden had with putin, where at one point, putin mentioned using nuclear weapons in a threatening way and biden had to remind him, no one wins a nuclear war. and you fast forward about six months into the war in september of 2022. that's when this 50% intelligence assessment comes. then and the biden white house went into overdrive to try to cut it off. they were concerned that they were going to make up a story about a dirty bomb. and we knew that publicly. but what the book shows us is what they did. they had austin go to his counterpart, general milley went to his counterpart and biden went to his his other world leaders and try to get them to walk putin back off that list and now trump, trump may have that. we don't know the dates may have had a conversation. we don't know what he said. i mean, just puts the exclamation point of how crucial this is and also build the context in terms of the broader context of the relationship between trump and putin. and maybe why putin

said, well, i don't tell anyone about the covid test because you would look bad whatever that conversation was about bill part so the context here is the molar report and the conclusion that russia wanted trump to win that election. here's the crucial exchange that molar had when he testified about that report to congress did your investigation find that the russian government perceived it would benefit from one of the candidates winning yes. and which candidate would that be? >> well it would be trimmed. i trump >> it sort of harkens back to what you said the other word, other moment because you you use the word, well, what were they talking about? was it instructions? was it what i mean? that context says a lot when you think about the phone calls here trump as vice president harris sort of sadly, i just loves dictators. >> you'd like sucking up to them. he's flattered when they call him, i suppose, or mar-a-lago or take a call from him? and he's just got very

bad character and that says something itself, something we kind of knew that he likes dictators. but i think it's much worse, much worse worrisome than that. i mean, he's the ex president. he's also the leader of the republican party. he's having secret private know aid, no one taking notes the way you do when you're president 95% of the time of trump occasionally tried to stop that too, but no, the reason we know about the biden conversations is there were other people in the office, other people on the line. there were notes that were taken. some of these people de-briefed woodward had cetera, right? we have no idea what putin told trump, what trump told putin, what putin promise trump financial incentives, other things things i'll help you get that ahmed, i'll help you in the campaign if necessary, i might do things to hurt biden if you become the nominee. i mean, anything could have been said and that's why i'm so really just appalled by this really lulu, i want to give you the final word. this regarding a conversation that you had today, it's 75 minute conversation with jd vance came and spoke to you, you interviewed him for the new york times and i know you're gonna be putting this into a full story, 75 minutes with jd

vance what stands out to you 75 minutes with jd vance. >> so first of all, kudos and jd vance for sitting down for 75 minutes with the new york times with me. it was an interesting conversation. it ranged vary widely. it was about him his past, but mostly what we focused on is this idea of who is jd vance. we see different jd vance's at different times saying different things. there's a big paper trail a lot of things at jd vance has said in the past, why has he changed his opinions on them? he accuses kamala harris of changing her opinions. why does he change his opinions? and he had a lot to say. >> all right. well, i can't wait to see all that. i know we're gonna have you on to talk about that more. but thanks very much to all of you. and you know when lulu talks about jd vance and changing what he's had to say, it is quite remarkable. and there is new reporting next our kfile brand new reporting on jd vance. this is an interview from 2020 which puts vance at direct odds with trump on an issue that is core to this

campaign right now, you will hear that for yourself next. plus as i promised, more on the deadly hurricane about to pummel florida, i'm going to speak to an air force pilot who literally just flew through this storm will tell you what an unprecedented storm looks like. right up on that, i and we'll speak to this longtime media a meteorologists who broke into tears over the storm in ten hours an assassination operation in an iranian embassy as iran braces for a massive attack and tonight, we will take you live to tehran coming to cnn this fall pros and cons less pro hosted by roy wood wood jr. row with amber ruffin, would likely in black okay. >> what are the cons we could run out the news by then i'm never could it oh.

waiting hurricane milton in treasure island, florida. and this is cnn tonight. >> the interview jd vance doesn't want donald trump to see our kfile on earth thing it, these are vance's comments and the weeks after the 2020 election, admitting joe biden won it. now this is consistent with the old jd vance, who was a vocal trump critic, but it is of course a very far cry from what we hear from vance now, which case in point here he is at the vp debate last week tim, i'm focused on the future. obviously donald trump and i think that there were problems in 2020 all right. >> andrew kaczynski of kfile is outfront. so what did you find? >> yeah, erin, it is really shows donald trump's stranglehold over the republican party that the question of did donald trump lose in 2020 has become seen as a gotcha question. it is not a gotcha question and vance's answers around this really reflect his ship left from someone who was once calling

donald trump, possibly america's hitler, to somebody who is now parroting his false election rhetoric. but that is not how he always felt. take a listen to this clip from november of 2020 to think that this is going to become you're violent or chaotic. i think that when biden is inaugurated, people will feel more or less accept it. it'll be on to the next slide. >> and what does vance say there? he says that biden is going to be inaugurated. he said that he does not think things are going to get violent and that is a remarkable shift from him parroting those false election claims today, it certainly is now he is singing a very different tune now, right? >> he says things very differently. which shifts kind of tracks with his run for office. i mean, here's just a few examples i think the election was stolen from trump obviously, republicans, a lot of us don't trust the results of the 2020 election evident. >> think that there were issues back in 2020, particularly in pennsylvania and yet even in

that context, just today, andrew, he said something that i thought was remarkable just in the context of fact that he's now going along with the election was stolen irregular. all those things to your point about violence, he said this today we discourage ryan. we do not riot nobody in this room and nobody in this movement is going to ryan about where when he weighs in and what he says about this issue? >> yeah. look, we went through every jd vance when he when he's nominated every jd vance tweet, we went through his deleted tweets. >> we went through his likes who went through his public statements and interviews after the election, before the election? we did not find one single instance of him claiming that the 2020 election was stolen. in fact, we found the opposite of that until he decides to run for office. and at that point, he is basically making a play for donald trump's endorsement. he's a former critic and we see him out there with the same rhetoric as basically every

other candidate in that crowded republican primary for the ohio senate saying that trump, the election was stolen from donald trump was amazed when you look at that diagram, when he runs, you see the shift interesting what trample think of what he says today. we do not write nobody in this movement, nobody in this room is going to riot that, that was a significant moment. alright, andrew, thank you very much. kfile with that new reporting there. next, the breaking news, hurricane mountain. now back to a category five storm again, if you had a six, it could be a six. there's just the numbers don't go that high. wind gusts are now nearly 200 miles an our next two hurricane hunter who just flew through that storm will be with me and i'm going to talk to the meteorologists who held back tears as he reported on milton's power horrific vegetable that's trouble that's trouble for food?

st. petersburg city announced on our website today that the crain's these construction tower cranes so prevalent in this growing state do not could not stand up in 100 mile-an-hour winds as a possibility they could come down there's not enough time to disassemble them before the storm, as scary as that sounds, the much bigger threat is all that water being pushed by this category five wins, right now, air and the last time a major storm hit this part of florida, 100 years ago population has gone up by about three-and-a-half million people and the sea level has gone up by a foot that is pretty stunning to just even consider that bill weir. thank you very much in st petersburg and he will be there through this storm. i want to go outfront now to the air force hurricane hunter, major alex boykin, who just flew through hurricane milton major blinken. i appreciate your taking the time. what was it like in there could evening it's quite a

large storm. we had several different passes through five different passes today, and each one a little different in each one, you could feel how just how strong the core of the storm is, and it has the potential to be. >> so you took some video from your flight and one meteorologist to talked about just the astounding amount of lightning, something like 58,000 strikes one lightning event every second he says, unlike anything he has ever seen in the atlantic how does it feel like to you and what does it look like when you go through and see that whole intensity of the storm itself, the whole system, the lightning is just can be just all inspiring phenomenon. it's striking all around the aircraft were built to take that kind of stuff, but it's the video. does a better job of

showing it and i can explain it say built to take that sort of stuff. and yet we're seeing something unprecedented. i mean, when you go through this, do you do you feel that do you feel any sense of insecurity about this or how does this even compared all these other storms you've been through major and know you don't feel any insecurity both. all air force hurricane hunters and our partners over at noaa flying these storms together this is part of the job that we go out and do this is a huge storm for the gulf of mexico, but not unheard of storm that we operate in so for us, it's part of our part of what we do and make sure that what we go in and get is that information that can get to the american people so they can stay safe well, major break in, you know, i think it's incredible you do it. i know everyone watching does as well. i mean, it's it's i know it's your job and

100020 tonight and tears this viral video shows longtime florida meteorologist john morales, who is my guest in just a moment, breaking down on television, he was telling his viewers about the stunning severity of hurricane milton incredible hurricane it has dropped millibars in ten hours i apologize. this is just horrific rallies became emotional. as you can see, you know, trying to gather his thoughts and his emotion so we could continue he's outfront now. he is the longest serving meteorologist in south florida reassuring presence for three decades. and jon, i'm grateful to have the opportunity to speak to you 40 years as a

meteorologist, 30 of them spent being the calm face of for so many communities in south florida. and those millibars that you're referring to in that clip or you know, how you measure the drop in air pressure that you've seen in this unprecedented storm? obviously, when you started your sentence in that moment, i'm sure you didn't know exactly what was going to happen that you would be sort of overwhelmed. what moved you? >> it, just so happens that moments before going on the year, the national hurricane center issued an urgent bulletin indicating that it had become a category five. that was that was right at the moment. i remember i wasn't even looking at the camera as they were tossing as the anchor was tossing to me, i was looking at my computer, my eyes go wide and then i look at the pressure that they reported from the national hurricane center and i did a quick math. i also had a chart in front of me and it's a very geeky,

nerdy moment to break down over 50 millibars and hours. but for to a meteorologist, it means something, it means extreme rapid intensification of a hurricane as would be expected in this new era that we're in and it was just a confirmation of everything we've been talking about for so many years happening yet again about two impact so many people wrecks so many lives. so it was just a mixture of empathy for those people as well as the acts of increasingly frequent and more severe extreme weather events just frustration over being a climate communicator for over 20 years and realizing this is happening, and we knew it was coming, i guess when you talk about the anger, the frustration, the empathy. i mean, you have ben that face that presence, that that calming presence that we turn to that's what when you turn

on the tv and you wait for the whether that's what that gives all of us every terrible storm you've been there. is that calming presence, hurricane andrew back in 1992, katrina wilma marine, matthew irma, the list goes on. they are all parts of your career so what does stand out to you about this particular storm, you know, in that moment when your moved by oh my cannot believe that we're in this moment yeah. >> i mean, i gotta be honest with you. i think this has been has been building up for it for a couple or maybe five years. you know, i've always been known as the non alarm is just the facts meteorologist andy, the south florida audience in the miami-fort lauderdale media market have appreciated that coming from a margin get where weather is often over height, right yeah. >> i'm kind of the antithesis of that so this is definitely a departure of the guy i've always been but i have changed

are multiplying the number of moles 1 billion-dollar disasters that are impacting this country and countries all over the world it has changed me these symptoms of the change in climate have changed me from a cool cucumber to somebody that's certainly more agitated i'm in a bit of dismay about what's going on. so when you talk about climate change, john and you're talking about how it has changed you. i want to play a little bit more of the moment you became emotional. that's when you were talking about climate change specifically, let me play it you know, what's driving that? i don't need to tell you global warming, climate change leading to this. and becoming an increasing threat for the yucatan, including married and progreso and other areas there

with the emotion, wavering at what scares you the most john, about the situation that we're in now with these storms well, that clip, it goes on to me saying that if you've ever traveled to the yucatan peninsula while there are cities like married and canned that, you know, have normal infrastructure and whatnot there's also a very, very humble communities all over the place and that, that's what was making my voice break yet again because it is more often than not it is these humble communities in the united states, the frontline communities, communities of color in the united states and all over the world in countries that had nothing to do with the injection of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere okay. that are suffering the worst consequences of this. and that's where the empathy park came in. i was just heartbroken by that. and that's what climate change can do. it impacts disproportionately

people in frontline communities that really have very little to do with burning fossil fuels well, john, i appreciate your time and i know you will be in florida covering this storm, providing the comfort of for for so many in the state over these next days and appreciate so much for taking a brief moment to speak with us thank you, erin. all right and next we're going to take you live inside iran, a nation bracing tonight for a massive strike by israel. >> plus wire trick chinese sensors, allowing video of exploding iphones. the context of the israel situation to go viral black people had an explosive reverberation after kanye said it, this was a lot of people's faces because it felt like he said the quiet part out loud. >> that moment all laid the

pentagon and this is cnn israel striking tonight, less than half a mile from the iranian embassy in syria the media, they're calling the attack a possible assassination operation. and it comes as the world braces for israel's expected major strike on iranian soil. that is where our fred pleitgen is tonight outfront in tehran. and fred, i know you drove more than 18 hours across the country. you shared some of these photos with me today in a country that you have now team across the country expecting a massive attack hitting many of the places that you drove through. what did iranians tell you? they fear higher, yeah. first of all, the fact that we did

actually drive through here shows how on edge the region is a lot of the international airlines have actually canceled their flights here and the flight schedules are a bit different. the cold right now. so we decided to drive from yerevan armenia all the way down to tehran, which is actually a really beautiful, stunning drive. but you do hear a lot of people who are very concerned here in iran and there are less concerned about the actual strike that. they believed that the israelis could still conduct more so about this billowing out into a possible larger for war between iran and then possibly also the united states. if this becomes a bigger thing that's certainly is something that is on the minds of many people that we've been speaking to in towns that we've been going through as we've been driving through this country at the same time, you have the leadership of this country, erin, that's making it clear that they are not going to back down. you had the foreign minister today warned seeing the israelis that if they do strike, that, there will be what he calls a crushing response from the iranians, erin. >> this crushing response, i mean, it also, so much of this in these recent days, right,

comes from the killing of nasrallah, leader of the iranian-backed hezbollah militia that then sparked this latest escalation, right? now it continues to escalate with the iranian strike ballistic missile strike on israel. so how is that the assassination of nasrallah affecting iranians right now? >> well, i think it's, i think it's really affecting to a great deal. and we saw that as we were driving through the country today as well, i think one of the things that's really weighing on a lot of people, of course, in leadership of this country is that there were very close relations between hassan nasrallah and the supreme leader of iran, ayatollah ali khamenei's and we were driving through a lot of these towns and cities here here, you did see a lot of hezbollah flags, a lot of likenesses of hassan nasrallah billboards and other things. and the message that kept getting repeated on all of those signs was hezbollah remains alive, which obviously the iranians are trying to project that even after the killing of large parts of his volos leadership, that iran is going to continue to support hezbollah of course, that also

shows once again, be animosity towards israel as well. erin. >> alright, fred pleitgen. thank you very much. with such important reporting from tehran tonight after driving across the country also tonight, israel does say it's eliminated a line of hezbollah's successors here is prime minister benjamin netanyahu. today we took a himself, as well as replacement the replacement of his replacement israel trying to decimate hezbollah, killing many commanders when thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies exploded and worries about those exploding devices. >> is now spreading way beyond lebanon. the world's largest airline has banned pagers. do we pagers and radios and most flights? and now china is taking advantage of the risks and fears and will ripley is outfront with that social media censors have allowed this 2011 video of an explorer voting iphone to go

viral drawing misleading comparisons to the deadly attacks in lebanon thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies rigged with explosives influencers are using the 13-year-old video, spreading rumors about apple iphones those as he suggesting without evidence ordinary iphones that haven't been tampered with can be remotely detonated making them deadly weapons can i just make an iphone blow up like that without putting explosives in it? we tracked down the man behind the original viral video, american youtuber chris bowdoin. he says, this iphone was hooked up to a high voltage machine to make that little iphone blow up, we had to have a power supply that was bigger than a refrigerator and weighs about half a ton. >> despite efforts from some chinese state media to debunk

online rumors, fears that iphones could explode are spreading quickly online it's a very real threat. one user writes, another says, if we want to protect our lives, we should use chinese products are fading. influencers are encouraging users to switch to chinese brands, cyber nationalism in china creates fertile ground for false attacks on foreign brands like apple these posts untouched by beijing's army of online sensors. >> if you had one of these iphones, former cia operative bob baer points out, iphones are primarily assembled in china. i mean, if the chinese government were involved, they they can rig any of these phones. >> bayer says there's no evidence any phones are being weaponized. >> any phone with a chip is insecure. >> you can blow somebody up if you can put in a detonator and explosive

of easier ways to kill someone without getting hold of their phone. >> and there's actually zero chance of a phone spontaneously exploding without explosives being added to it. the most that could happen is the operating system gets hacked in the battery overheats, potentially causing a fire. but that's not stopping these fears. he theories from spreading in china. there's actually a construction company that has banned its employees from bringing iphones into work. aaron, they're offering vouchers for workers to switch to a chinese made brand and saying, those who don't do it and are caught with an iphone could get fired wow. >> will ripley thank you very much. mean that is just an incredibly important detail all right. thank you so much. i appreciate it and thanks so much to all of you for being with us. ac360, as always, with anderson begins right now the message from federal and florida officials tonight, warning residents time is running out to avoid >> vacua before hurricane
