sustained damage. the kremlin was quick to assign blame these 2 kinds through the entrance of the ukrainian regime will not go unpunished. russian law enforcement structures are investigating and properly documenting effects of selling bi ukrainian militants of russian regions, and the other criminal actions, deepest strikes and military assets inside russia have increased in recent months to support you create ins, ground counter offensive, which has been meeting state for assistance from russian troops. the most recent drive an attack appears to be the biggest on russian soil since the south of the war. the advice is located in the pasco region on the border with nato countries, estonia and lots via the ramp up of driving attacks and recent months have focused on the brands and belgrade regions bordering ukraine, as well as moscow itself. the attacks and the hoss of rushes capital have put the city on edge. whereas a tax on seals and border regions,

health costs of supply lines for russian troops. the attacks on must go bad and most symbolic importance. several times the glittering high rises of most goes business districts have been the targets of drones, reminding that it leads an old most gigabytes that they are at war. so now to ukraine's capital t if where a barrage of russian missiles and drones has killed at least 2 people. the prince military instead of shut down all 28 missiles and most of them, 16 drones that targeted the city. but damage was caused when debris fell on buildings. officials that it was russia's most powerful aerial assault on t of in several months. us states, georgia and south to rock, caroline are bracing for impact as hurricane and dalia moved along the coast. after tearing into florida. the dahlia which has now been downgraded to a tropical storm is expected still caused a dangerous storm surge. the hurricane slammed into florida earlier with the speed of a train,

prompting mandatory evacuation orders and several counties flooding roads and forcing the closure of airports. georgia and south carolina have now issued tropical storm warnings, expecting wide scale destruction, despite the downgrade for media all just an atmospheric sciences. matthew concludes he is following the hurricane for us and joins us from pensacola, florida. matthew, this was the most powerful hurricane hurricane for floridians there in the gulf in a century. that's what we heard. what kind of damage has a cost? yeah, most definitely. so for is very hurricane from state. they see hurricanes quite a bit, but not in this part. of florida this came on shore. any big band or that little notch inside the gulf of mexico, we're record straight back to 1851. and then the roughly 175 years since we haven't seen a major a category 3 plus hurricane make land fall there. and so this is kind of new and uncharted territory. one thing to note, however, it came

a shores is drawn hurricane with decision making storm surge about 2 to 3 meters worth in some places very heavy rainfall and strong winds on the order of perhaps 175 to almost 200 kilometers per hour at the immediate coastline now the main threat, heavy rainfall and isolated tornadoes. as it works, i think the coastline of the appalachians is moisture. passenger colburn squeezed out of the air, breezing very heavy rain fall off with up to about 20 centimeters and someplace. likely. dahlia has been downgraded to a tropical storm. so what does that mean? so one thing i don't like about where their coverage, in general is how the national weather service and in the united states, we re, systems based on only their when viewed the separate sims of hurricane scale, which comes down to only wind speeds. however, we are not the number one most generally thing that comes from hurricane some trouble. sidelines flooding is roads fresh water flooding near the coastline. serge, it's through this case. it just means that they'll use low pressure center. it kind

of vacuum pulling in the wind has weak and little bit. and so the winds come down in strength a little bit. it's like when you, through your coffee in the morning, the faster you start a deeper that dip in the middle. and that dip starts to come back up, the speed of this rolling slow is down. same thing with adel, the same thing with drop storms in general. and so yes, it is still tropical. it's still a pretty heavy rainfall. the winds just won't be quite a destruct. okay. and the storm is moving north. now. where's it headed and what can we expect there? and so it is currently located right here, the georgia and south carolina border. it is working up dakota as they should stay pretty much right on the eastern seaboard on the atlantic coast line about, i'd say 12 to 14 hours after that finally pushing out to see. one thing to note though is that there's a cold over an off to it's west that cold bottom is both helpful and hurtful. it's helpful because eventually pushes the storm out to see steering it away from the rest of the eastern seaboard, steering and away from the nation's capital. but it also as

a boat with mechanism kind of boosting how much moisture actually falls as rain, squeezing that out of the air, focusing it along that moisture pool. and so it's useful in that it gets it out to see it's bad because the channels all that moisture causes me heavy rains. okay. may i think i'll put you in. pensacola. pensacola, florida. thank you. the 2nd full moon in the month of august the set to light up the sky. scientists call this cosmic combination, a super blue moon, and wherever you are, the celestial show is likely to be brighter and fuller than usual. it's the biggest and brightest moon of the year. a celeste steel event combining 2 lunar phenomena. a super moon under blooming. a super moon is a feeling that appears larger and brighter in the sky. because it's closer to the earth than usual. the definition of
