janai is off but we are so happy to have our dear friend, erielle reshef, with us this morning. >> so wonderful to be with both of you. >> we have a lot to get to. those images from the ukraine war astonishing on europe's longest bridge, a sudden flash of light then flames. new details coming in overnight on how it happened and russia's response. >> just look at these satellite images before the suspected truck bomb exploded and after. the bridge in tatters but not destroyed. >> and the attack drawing an immediate response from russian leader vladimir putin launching deadly missile strikes, a new general put in charge of forces in ukraine and a terrorism investigation now open. let's get right to abc's britt clennett in ukraine with the vry latest. britt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yeah, another attack on innocent lives here in ukraine. at least 17 dead and dozens more injured after russian rockets hit zaporizhzhia. now, president zelenskyy calling
7:03 am
it absolute evil. overnight, another indiscriminate attack on civilians, a dozen russian rockets hitting residential buildings partly destroying this high-rise and leveling others. the strikes coming a day after a huge explosion damaged russia's only bridge to crimea. this video circulating online showing the moment the blast hit engulfing the roadway in flames. russia saying a truck bomb exploded igniting seven railway cars carrying fuel causing part of the bridge to collapse and killing three people. this video tweeted by russia's foreign ministry claiming to show traffic now flowing again over the bridge. part of the span falling into the sea. the charred wreckage of the train cars on the railway above. just hours after the explosion a major shake-up. the defense ministry announcing the head of its air force will now command all russian troops in ukraine amid reports of dissension and in-fighting at the kremlin. as russia's losses mount, moscow
7:04 am
intensifying attacks on civilian areas. in kharkiv, ukrainian officials saying parts of an intercepted russian missile crashed into this residential building. other pieces landed in the street. the wreckage loaded into a struck by de-mining specialists. teams like this working hard in the newly liberated areas to clear explosives. they are training more people to help with the cleanup efforts. >> the way they laid booby traps, deliberately to cause harm, to kill, to maim struck me as utterly barbaric. >> reporter: as ukraine takes back more land in the south and east, many of those areas have not only been destroyed but deadly land mines have been left behind and that's where these guys come in. they're training at the moment to clear those land mines in those areas, something which could take months or even years. for many of the trainees here this work is deeply personal. this man recently escaped his occupied village in kherson. "i still have relatives there,"
7:05 am
he says. "it's important i can help clean up those areas back home and make them safe." really vital work here in ukraine and, as i said, it could take years though to clear the mines scattered all around those occupied areas, so there is a rush to do as much as they can before the cold winter months hit. eva. >> britt clennett for us there in ukraine. let's bring in abc's chief global affairs correspondent, martha raddatz. thanks for being with us, martha. let's talk about that bridge. clearly a strategic move. what does this mean for both sides in this war? >> well, eva, great to be with you too, and i have to say, this is so humiliating for vladimir putin. things are not going well for russian troops in ukraine and now this, that blast on a bridge, a vital bridge. even if they have traffic still going back and forth, it is limited, and that is the lane they'd put all their equipment on into crimea. of course, he annexed crimea in 2014, so this is a real blow to
7:06 am
vladimir putin, but what happens now is exactly what britt was saying. he's going to lash out. he's going to go after civilian targets because things are going so poorly for him there. >> let's talk about north korea as well, firing a ballistic missile towards south korean waters this weekend. it's the latest in a series of launches by the north. it's just been tests and drills so far, but should we be worried that this growing tension could become something more? >> well, i think we're always worried about it, and we're worried about north korea as a nuclear power. having nuclear weapons and trying to get missiles that can bring them all the way to the united states, and most analysts think that could probably happen. i don't think the threat is there right now. i think this is mainly for leverage, but this has gone on for decades and decades through numerous presidents, and he keeps doing this, and he keeps getting better at it.
7:07 am
eva. >> we keep watching him do it. martha raddatz for us, thank you so much, martha. tune into "this week" later thi morning. martha will go one-on-one with white house national security council spokesman john kirby about those rising nuclear threats from russia and north korea and opec's move to raise oil prices. plus, martha has an exclusive interview with admiral mike mullen on how the military should respond. well, german officials are blaming sabotage for a massive train disruption that shut down service in the northern part of the country for hours yesterday. the german transport minister saying crucial communication cables were deliberately cut in two places causing rail traffic to come to a grinding halt for about three hours. police are investigating the incident. now to politics and former nfl star herschel walker fighting those reports that he paid for a girlfriend's abortion and later urged her to have another. the allegations casting a shadow on his republican campaign for senate. abc's maryalice parks is on capitol hill with the very latest.
7:08 am
good morning, maryalice. >> reporter: erielle, good morning. yeah, we're almost exactly a month from the midterm elections and this race in georgia has just been racked by these headlines. we've seen some republican leaders, especially those in washington rushing to their candidate, herschel walker's defense while others in the state of georgia not so much. this morning, republican leaders not only defending gop senate candidate herschel walker, but gearing up to stand by his side. the national republican senatorial committee chair senator rick scott heads to georgia to campaign with walker who finds himself tangled in allegations he paid for a woman to have an abortion, despite his staunch anti-abortion rights stance on the trail. scott saying in a statement, i'm on herschel's team. they picked the wrong georgian to mess with. >> let me hear herschel walker, come on. >> reporter: other republicans too still pushing to elect walker. >> i believe herschel walker will be the next senator. i'm proud to support herschel walker. >> reporter: though some republicans in the state of georgia distancing themselves from the senate candidate. >> herschel walker won the
7:09 am
primary because he scored a bunch of touchdowns back in the '80s, and he's donald trump's friend and now we moved forward several months on the calendar, and that's no longer a recipe to win. >> reporter: he denied the allegations that he paid for an abortion or pressured a woman into one. >> this here abortion thing is false, it's a lie. >> reporter: "the new york times" now reporting walker urged the same woman to have a second abortion two years later, but she refused, giving birth to his child instead. the firestorm roiling the race. the race neck and neck as walker and his democratic opponent senator raphael warnock make their final case to georgia voters. >> what the state needs right now is some public servants who are committed to the people. >> i'm here to win the seat for the georgia people because the georgia people need a winner. >> reporter: now, senator warnock and walker are set to debate this friday. it's expected to be their only debate. you can imagine the issue of abortion rights at the very least will be front and center.
7:10 am
>> it certainly will be, maryalice parks on capitol hill for us, thank you so much. u.s. senator tommy tuberville making news for some controversial comments he made while at a rally held by former president donald trump near lake tahoe in nevada yesterday calling democrats pro-crime as he told the crowd, quote, they want reparations because they think the people who do the crime are owed that. tuberville then went on to say that the u.s. can't afford food stamps and people need to get back to work. and we've been talking about the senate, the georgia race there, one of the key senate battlegrounds with election day only a month away. let's bring in our political drector rick klein joining us from washington. rick, good morning to you. so the balance of power in the senate truly at stake in the midterms. >> yeah, whit, and there really are ten seats that will determine control of the senate. this is the full map. those gray states are the ones almost certainly going to control who is in charge next year. right now our partners at fivethirtyeight look at all the polling, look at all the math and think democrats have a two in three chance of winning but
7:11 am
if you want to know why so many people pay attention to just one race, i'll show you what happens if you make an assumption about georgia. let's say that herschel walker is able to pick that seat off for the republicans defeating senator warnock, then you've got a much different portrait. the republicans go from a 35 in 100 chance to better than six in ten chance of controlling the senate just based on that one race. so that's why you see them paying as much attention as they are. >> what about, rick, some of the other races? where do republicans see their best chance to flip a seat? >> yeah, republicans are looking out west. it happens to be where former president trump is spending his weekend. he was out in nevada last night. he'll be in arizona tonight. take a look at what happens. if nevada goes to the republicans, if they're able to defeat the incumbent senator there, that 35 in 100 chance, that one in three chance goes to almost a 60% chance of controlling the senate. based just on that one race. now, other things will happen, of course, and we know that the democrats are also looking to go on offense. their best opportunity, probably the state of pennsylvania. we've seen polls tighten there recently, but if the democrats can flip the senate seat in pennsylvania, their two in three
7:12 am
chance goes to about eight in ten just based on that. that's again according to our partners at fivethirtyeight who run these numbers. you will see a lot of attention on these battleground states in the next four weeks. >> as we said, only a month out but a lot can happen. rick, thank you. >> thanks, whit. >> eva. across the country, women are marching for abortion rights. rallies planned in hundreds of cities including los angeles, just one of the concerns on voters' minds. of course, there are lot of others. this morning, we're on the ground in the nation's most populous state, and mona kosar abdi is on the campus of southern california in los angeles. good morning, mona. >> reporter: eva, good morning. with the midterms fast approaching, we are following several key races here in california. so we hit the usc home game and the streets of los angeles to ask californians what issues matter the most. the university of southern california painted cardinal red and gold as students, alumni and fellow angelinos bask in trojan traditions to watch the home
7:13 am
team take on washington state. the campus offers all the appeal of the golden state, but students we spoke to say it's not all sunshine. for senior elise patterson, something top of mind is california's housing crisis. >> i feel like a program to help people get back on their feet or even offer them safe shelters could be easily manageable. >> reporter: with just 31 days from the midterm elections, l.a.'s mayoral race between representative karen bass and real estate developer rick caruso is heating up. caruso's campaign focusing heavily on crime and homelessness. >> they say they got all these programs and everything, and they're not trying to get them on their feet to do something. it's a big handout. >> reporter: it's here where gas reached over $8 a gallon last week. the state average peaking at $6.42. >> i saw gas was like $7.39 which is insane. >> reporter: for longtime trojan fan jesus acosta, a
7:14 am
self-described conservative, he says he's looking for candidates that reaffirm the values he holds. >> that we come back to what this country was founded on, and that was the belief in god, and so some of those cores have been replaced now by a lot of liberal views. >> reporter: and across the board climate change was the issue that was discussed the most, understandable given that five out of the ten largest wildfires in california's history happened in 2020. erielle. >> wow, that is a stark statistic. mona, thank you so much. overseas now to the intensifying anti-government protest in iran and the violent response from the regime. dozens of people killed, hudreds arrested. all of this, of course, coming after a young woman died while in the custody of the morality police for allegedly violating the strict female dress code. abc's lama hasan is in london with the very latest. good morning, lama. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, erielle. those violent protests are now
7:15 am

generation, they are not backing down, and it doesn't look like they will until they get what they want, and that is regime change, whit. >> definitely seeing that determination days into these protests. thank you so much, lama. we appreciate it. we do want to turn and get a check of the weather, danielle breezy from our nashville affiliate wkrn in this morning. we've been talking -- do we call this a cold blast? >> yes. >> are we using that language this time of year already? >> we can use that. i think it's the coldest air so far this season at least so it is going to be cold out there. i will tell you this much, the chill is spreading east today. as you can see, we've got frost advisories from tennessee all the way up into maine. freeze warnings for a good chunk of kentucky here. temperatures in the 30s not only this morning but also tomorrow morning. now, i will tell you there's a silver lining as we head into early next week. our daytime afternoon highs going to be in the 70s in d.c. and philly in the upper 60s in new york city. so not so bad. speaking of the heat, we've been having record-setting heat out west for the last couple of months. yesterday ten cities hitting new
