left. >> she's not going to be here in a year. and finally, i said, you know what, dude, i'm gonna be here when you're not longer, you when you're no longer working and i kept thinking of myself as a bumper car and i thought if i hit the wall, i'll come back and i'll go another direction and i mean, i went bankrupt. i you know, i it was terrible. nobody wants to do that. and also no one wants to think of themselves as like a loser and that no one likes you again. so i just had to keep doing this. >> and that's all we have time for this week. don't forget, you can find all our shows online as podcasts at cnn.com cnn.com/podcast and on all other major platforms i'm christiane amanpour in london. thank you for watching and see you again next week

much for joining us. >> i'm fredricka whitfield in atlanta alongside my colleague kaitlan collins collins in tel aviv. we're following the latest developments in the killing of hamas leader yahya sinwar and the intensifying israeli military operation in northern gaza that will have much more on that, enjoying new kaitlan in a moment. but first, the race for the white house in this country, heating up on one of the final critical weekend of campaigning with just 17 days until the election day. both vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump are rallying voters in key battleground states. states that will be critical in determining who wins harris barnstorming, both in michigan and georgia today, while trump is in pennsylvania, and the stakes in these closing weeks couldn't be higher. polls showing razor thin margins. the campaign's looking to build winning coalitions the

voting is already underway in 42 states, more than 11 million ballots cast so far cnn's steve contorno and priscilla alvarez are following all the action on the campaign trail as steve, you're with the trump campaign in pennsylvania. so what is his message to voters there because his his message has been somewhat scattershot over these closing weeks of the presidential race events like these are often billed as an opportunity for him to talk about the economy inflation, and all these concerns that many voters are carrying into the election. >> but trump, when he gets on the stage, regularly says that he doesn't think the economy is the top issue. he thinks that it's immigration. meanwhile, his campaign payne has stopped running ads link to immigration is instead pumping tens of million dollars into advertisements. talking about vice president harris, his past support for certain policies supporting transgender individuals, and then trump has also maintained these intensely

personal attacks on the former or sitting on the vice president. he did so yesterday during a stop in michigan, take a listen to what he said. >> obviously, i'm in the middle of a very big and very contentious fight. we're leading i've given my health exams i've also done cognitive tests twice, and i've aced a meeting a perfect storm. i want to see her do a cognitive test because she couldn't because she wasn't born smart minutes east of pittsburgh in westmoreland county, pennsylvania. this is an area that trump won by about a two-to-one margin. four years ago and eight years ago. so he has a strong base of support here. however, it's a part of the state that they are hoping to continue to run up the score down. trump's campaign has been reaching out to voters, or are republicans here, or people who are conservative, people who they believe would be trump supporters who have yet to vote

for him in an election and are hoping that they can run up the score in these parts of the state because pennsylvania is going to be very, very critical in a few weeks especially there western pennsylvania. alright, steve, thank you so much. i priscilla to you now in detroit with the harris campaign. and what's being said there spoken would say that they really want to capitalize on early voting it kicks off today in detroit for the first time this event today with the vice president alongside lizzo is going to be to try to gin up that enthusiasm for for early voting. >> this of course, is a complicated state. it's a state that the vice president spent a lot of time in yesterday in part of today, and there's a reason for that because as they are trying to fortify the blue wall states in michigan is crucial to that. now, yesterday, the vice president was in three counties, one of which donald trump won 2016, then biden won in 2020, and the two other counties where biden

was able to win by wider margins in 2020? that's exactly what the harris campaign wants to emulate and bill upon and they're trying to also make inroads in the suburbs to try to capture some of those white college educated voters, but also try to make inroads with union workers that was much of the messaging from the vice president yesterday was trying to draw a contrast between her and her republican rival on the issue of labor, highlighting, for example, donald trump's anti-labor comments, but also talking about promises that he made, but didn't keep that was the framing of the day for the vice president. now, of course, with a city like detroit and atlanta where she'll be later today, is a majority nonwhite cities the vice president and her team want to try to get as much support as they can in these cities and the surrounding suburbs to try to again, emulate what biden did in 2020 20. this is gonna be crucial to their path to victory. so today, the focus is on the vice president doing the early vote get out, get out the vote events with the star power

of lizzo here in detroit than later usher in atlanta. but the vice president also, over the course of the next several days may be continued to ask about how she is going to be different from joe biden. this has been a recurring question since she assumed the top of the party's ticket, it's also something she was asked about while in michigan yesterday. take a listen. >> present biden said has to cut their own path what is one policy that you would have done differently over these last 3.5 years in prison? >> i mean, to be very candid with you. even including mike pence, vice presidents are not critical of their president i think that really, actually, in terms of the tradition of it, and also just going forward, it does not make for a productive and important relationship that she he's going to continue to define herself through her policies and her policy proposals over the next several days, increasing her exposure on traditional and non-traditional means as again,

they look at these final few weeks of the election. all right. priscilla alvarez, steve contorno, thanks to both of you. appreciate it. >> right now. up early voting is underway in several battleground states, including closely watched georgia voters. there have already turned out in record numbers, casting more than 1 million ballots since tuesday former president donald trump is trying to reclaim the peach state after losing to president biden by a small margin in 2020 plus hours from now, vice president harris will be leading detroit and heading to atlanta for a rally with r&b star usher. cnn's rafael romo is joining me right now from a polling site in gwinnett county, ga. all week so many of these polling locations have seen very long lines paper, people have been very eager about a voting early. what are you seeing there on a saturday today? rafael bad so far, i just take a

moment ago here at this polling station and there's only about a dozen people standing in line, but there are several reasons why we decided to come to this polling station. >> a number one, gwinnett county is the most ethnically diverse county. end entire state of georgia. also, it's a county that has had a tremendous population growth in the last few years, surpassing the 1 million mark over the summer in third, at this is one of the reasons why georgia is no longer a red state, but a purple. and its county that joe biden, president joe biden carried in 2000 and allow them to get to the white house. a. we chose this particular location, the five forks brand and of the gwinnett county library system because it's been the busiest in the county with wait wait, times of about an hour or so in the first few days of early you voting again, not too far right now, but

it's expected to get this year later on today, earlier, i had an opportunity to talk to several voters, including one naturalized american who told us she he takes her voting rights very, very seriously. let's take a listen i want to make sure i do it because i want to prove my duty. >> my citizen my responsibility to do it? >> gwinnett county is very well-organized the process is really easy, so that's what we expect today no, no long lines so far, right. so so good good day to vote. >> and fred more than 1.1 million voters across the state of georgia have already cast their ballots here here in when it county, this is the third county in the state, is for the number of people who have already voted after. >> of course, fulton county county were atlanta is located in cobb county, the third most

populated states in the country, and also in the atlanta metro area. so yeah, things are picking up here. let's see what happens in the next few hours, fred back something tells me it's only going to get busier biden. alright, rafael romo. thank you so much. i'd still ahead israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's residence targeted by a drone as he vows the war in gaza will continue forward until the end so what does this mean for the possibility of a ceasefire? >> we're live in the region next face of american foreign policy going to be lonely america first, get here and the lessons of history america first up the weeds of communist special tomorrow at 8:00 on cnn whether you're a professional driver or just a fan vehicle breakdowns are costly it started taghi started making some really weird noises.

aviv. julia benbrook is in washington. jeremy you know, all of this is coming as we heard, we woke up this morning to news here in israel that a drone had been launched from, from lebanon toward netanyahu's residence or residents of his, it's not clear that it actually hit. but what do we know about this? >> yeah well, the israeli prime minister, first of all, was not at this residence sorry, which is not too far north of here, but it is dozens of miles south of the lebanese border and it does just show the problem that israel is having with intercepting these drones. >> being fired by hezbollah towards northern, but also clearly central israel as well. there was actually a hit on a structure in casoria. the town word netanyahu lives. we don't know if it actually hit him his residents, but it was clear that he was not there at the time netanyahu put out a video afterwards that i think is worth looking at well, two days ago we took out just how sinwar the terrorist

mastermind who is goons be headed, our men raped our women, burnt babies alive we took them out and we continue our battle with iran to other terrorist proxies we're going to win this more with something deteriorate. >> know prime minister, how is it going well, two days ago we took out how soon warranty but but i do think it's important to note that he it gives you some insight into his state of mind right now, right when you see it so there's a bit of a swagger to it. >> just killed yahya sinwar, a big victory for him. but the question is, where is he going to take that swagger? is he going to take that swagger in the direction of all right. we've got total victory here. we've killed the head of hamas with killed a bunch of other senior leaders of hamas. we've done destroyed hamas as a military entity in gaza. they are now basically just a guerrilla force. it's time to make a deal to free the hostages, to end the war or is he going to take the swagger in another direction which is, we're going to continue pressing on until absolute

victory and we did hear something quite similar about that from him today as he was speaking to reporters talking about the notion of this war being a war of resurrection that he's going to take this all the way to the end. for now that golden opportunity that us officials have been talking about with the killing of sinwar. it appears that the israeli prime minister wants to take this all the way through rather than striking a deal. >> now, yeah, he clearly thanks to feel vindicated or justified in the sense of everyone told him not to go into rafah, including vice president harris, warning that there would be consequences if they did. that is ultimately where sinwar was killed and his dna was found near where the six hostages were murdered not long ago but in the question we were just hostage square where the hostage families gather almost every saturday since october 7. and i was speaking to one of them's father who said, if this is not the moment to try to use this leverage that you have a yahya sinwar's death, then what differences three more months going to make or six more months going to make for netanyahu saying it seemed to be a political strategy, not one necessarily focused on just

the hostages. >> yeah. and that's been the biggest criticism of the israeli prime minister from the israeli public over the course of the last year is that he's putting his political interests above the interests of the country. now, not everybody in this country feels that way, but certainly a sizable portion of the country does. and i'll be interested to see how many people actually show up to the protests tonight, which, which are usually start around 8:00 p.m. in israel, we have seen these crowds swelled to the hundreds of thousands before well, we see see see something similar tonight. but ultimately it's going to be a decision that netanyahu has to make. what direction is he going to go in? and certainly those families of hostages like those who spoke to today, are going to continue to pressure him to do so yeah, they want movement jeremy diamond and tel aviv. >> thank you for that. julia, you're over at the white house. obviously, we just talked about vice harrison, how she's talked about this. it's a major question for president biden and what's going to happen next year. and there was the phone conversation between biden and netanyahu. what are you hearing from officials? scholes about how they're looking at the fact that the idea of an immediate ceasefire does seem to be fading in this

moment we know that both vice president kamala harris it's like you mentioned, and president joe biden has spoken about this publicly as well. >> they know that the death of the hamas leader is creating uncertainty, but they are also continuing to try to strike a tone of optimism. there are saying that they believe that there is a potential opportunity to move toward a ceasefire deal. we have some of their sound to play now we have got to end this war and i think that what has happened now with the killing of sinwar creates an opportunity for us to end and this warn, bring the hostages home you're probably deal israel and ran in a way that is we're and for months now frustrated american officials who are hoping to end the war in gaza have expressed that this scenario could loosen

deadlocked ceasefire talks, but as you all are speaking about, that remains to be seen, hamas, who of course confirmed sinwar's death, has said that they will not release the hostages and less, israel ends the war in gaza and releases palestinian prisoners. >> meanwhile, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has says that he is going to keep fighting unless all of the hostages are released. kaitlan yeah. >> major questions here. julia benbrook, jeremy diamond. thank you. both hours from now, speaking of vice president harris, she's been making her fifth stop on the campaign trail. she's headed to battleground, georgia and she's going to make and pitch their specifically towards black male voters that she he has struggled to gain up support with its certainly to level, biden has donald trump also has plans for that group. we'll talk about that right after this before election day. >> vice president harris basis

near austin, texas this is just the latest in a series of near misses that took place near the austin bergstrom international airport. cnn's pete muntean has more near collisions involving commercial flights have been making headlines since the start of last year. and i've had regulators and investigators on high alert. but most have involved flights on or near the runways of a major airport. rarely are these close calls in midair. this incident was on wednesday, but it's just now coming to light after new data from flight tracking site flight radar 24, it shows an american airlines flight lining up to land at austin-bergstrom international airport in texas. one, a private cessna 182 started to turn toward the commercial flight putting the plane's nose to nose like radar 24 says the american flight passed over the assessment it's not separated by only 400 feet. we're talking a little more than the length of a football field. the air traffic control recording from liveatc.net details that

the american pilots received an in-cockpit alert of an impending collision called a resolution advisory, which requires immediate action by the pilots. now, there's investigation chin is just beginning, but the faa says the cessna was operating under visual flight rules that does not require constant communication with air traffic control. you may remember that austin was the site of another near collision in february of last year, a fedex flight nearly landed on top of a departing southwest flight that was obscured by dense fog. investigators said the quick reaction of the fedex crew saved the day and the lone air traffic controller in the tower simply could not see the problem playing out in front of him. pete muntean, cnn, washington thanks so much, pete. alright. coming up, we're following the latest developments following the death of hamas leader yahya more how it will impact the war in gaza and the efforts to bring hostages home straight ahead
