so which is west of alaska is josephine sees we've been discussing and folding situation, we've been asked to be lead, who's an investigative journalist based into months rather than those areas actually pulling into the hands of the service area. and army has those as done with it. often does, in these situations, it's withdrawn from those areas to avoid excessive casualties. allow the terrorists to basically consumer it into that area before the counter attack. people are telling man a lot, posit the sounds they've been hearing have reminded some of the more days in alaska . so that's a significant we've also been hearing for some time about the potential for uh and okay, you know, a high attorney are showing that they've now being re, brenda, major attack, we know is that from russian intelligence, particularly that there have been ukranian and special forces and military and intelligence operatives in atlanta helping with her as the 2 on themselves and took the path for a major offensive. and of course, the timing is very important at 4 am. today's receipts for our cambridge websi

somebody will say the major city of al coats, the west of alaska, has also been seized. meanwhile, syrian military will planes continue to repel. we are tax reports, indicate they've struck multiple targets for storing militant vehicles on killing sciences. we discussed the unfolding situation with vanessa bailey and investigative journalist based in damascus, rather than those areas actually pulling into the hands of the 3rd syrian army has, does a strong what it often does. in these situations, it's withdrawn from those areas to avoid excessive casualties. allow the terrorist to basically consumer it into that area before the counter attack. people are telling man a lot, posit the sounds they've been hearing. i've reminded some of the more days in alaska. so that's a significant we've also been hearing for some time about the potential for and i'll call you the highest 30, are showing that it's now being refunded, major attack we know is that from russian intelligence particularly that there have been ukranian, special forces and military and intelligence operative in helping her so to

some reports say the major city of outpost, the west of alaska was also being seized. this is serena peoples has been scrambling through with how the attacks to oppose indicate jets, had struck multiple targets, destroying willis and vehicles and killing fighters. we've heard from sonia yvonne to then to an independent dutch journalist who lived and worked in syria for a long time si size, the ongoing situation by some striking similarities to the rise of isis a decade ago. i know they're saying they have local curbs, parts of a level as out of the startup, and he's added some villages in the western part of a level. so yes, uh that i'm confirmed. i know from some people who live in homes, they said that, you know, they heard it and they saw it from other people who live in a little so and they were casualties. they say they speak about the 57, and i think the syrian tv channel is something like that as well. so yeah, it's actually terrible. it reminds me of the actual interest. how do you fall into concurring syria again? so it's down several actually. isis consist of

we are talking about 20 of them out west. between alaska, arizona, and nevada. d another 15 over in michigan. and for what it's worth. the former president is leading in all of those states at this hour. and we should have results from each of them at some point today, possibly by day's end. as for voter analysis, well, very interesting breakouts i can tell you about. how about among hispanic voters. harris over trump. not a surprise. but what was interesting was the number that the former president got. 41%, that's a big number. especially when you consider the conventional wisdom going into the election was that the democrats usually do very well among minority groups. how about under 30 voters? well, how about this? look at that, too. that is a real shocker. 52 to 44%, again up by 8 when compared to 2020 for mr. trump. the vice president down 9 when compared to the current president, president biden. how about for those falling behind financially? as you can well imagine, a lot of them went for president trump. 63% compared to just 34% for the vice president.

they say they're advancing towards the west and city of hama off to taking control of alaska, hama is syria's full philologist fizzy. so, you know, physician sizes are faulty to have taken control of several villages and towns in the northern how my country side as they advance 5 is in tanks, can be seen on the streets and the town of what cost also has more from, has high and they took his border with syria in a surprising move on saturday, the opposition factions locked by the h. d as a a tough or else some are addressing towards hama after they took control of the city of elect people. and it's a conference size. also the position sections to control of many other places in it live. and they announced that they have full control of the province along with important a ports like a full, a port in northwest syria and quarters a report. and it's an alaska. no one was expecting that the opposition would advance on the ground so quickly and again, so made the territories, but given the weakness of the syrian army and the lack of russian assistance and other part of military factions to

west lawn of the u.s. capitol where the u.s. capitol tree has arrived, all the way from wrangell, alaska, 4000 miles.his year's 80 foot sitka spruce is from the thomas national forest. the tree will be decorated with thousands of ornaments. the u.s. capitol christmas tree is an 80 foot sicko spruce from the tongass national forest. dan sullivan spoke about the tree and its trip from alaska on the senate floor yesterday. -- sitka spruce from the tongass national forest. dan sullivan spoke about the tree and its trip from alaska to the senate floor -- on the senate floor yesterday. >> we will bring a low bit of alaska here to d.c.. the capitol christmas tree which will be lit up for the month of december is coming all the way from the tongass national forest. the residing officer cares a lot about the tongass, outside of wrangell, alaska. that is a journey of almost 5000 miles. and this is no living room sized christmas tree. folks, it is an 85 foot sitka spruce. that's a big tree. you will see it out in front of the u.s. capitol here, very soon. i'm sure everybody listening, and we know there is milli

west front lawn. the capitol grounds team already hard at work will spend the next several days decorating the tree with thousands of led lights and thousands of handcrafted ornaments, hand-crafted by the people of alaska. we look forward to seeing the tree lit up and all its splendor for the 60th annual christmas tree lighting ceremony on december 3rd. and we are so glad to have a beautiful tree that alaskans and americans can be proud of. it's now my pleasure to introduce miss barbara miranda, the deputy supervisor. [cheers] >> thank you so much. and it is such an amazing day for team alaska from the u.s. for service -- forest service. it is with the deepest gratitude and pride that i look at our colleagues and all the work they did over the course of the last year to get a tree from the wrangell ranger district of the tongass national forest all the way to washington dc i'd like to extend my gratitude also to the capitol grounds crew. they will have a job ahead of them to get this 80 foot tall spruce off the truck after its 4000 mile journey. and we will be delighted to come back in a week to see the lights go on on the tree. this is a year of firsts for the people's tree. not only is it the first t

but alaska airlines has a maintenance, has lots of maintenance on the west coast and the lax runways are wonderful. they're straight into the wind off the pacific ocean long and straight and a good runway so that ended well. no one was hurt. the bullets on the airplane are a whole 'nother issue. everyone is on high alert because of the haiti incidents where the planes were fired upon just this month. and then again in the spring. earlier in the spring. but, you know, there have been other instances in the united states where planes have been fired upon. sometimes, you know, from around the airport. and there was one strange there have been more than one strange incidents where guns legally checked in the cargo hold. did go off. the dallas law enforcement is very competent as soon as they see whether this is an entrance of a bullet to the plane or an exit, if there's only an entrance of the bullet to the plane and no exit, they should be able to find that bullet. and if it was from a high powered hunting rifle for example, then they have to look at the perimeter of the airport. does i

alaska to the united nations urging that the num bond. a to be placed on west themselves to israel. the national government has become a source of threats, not only for middle eastern countries, but also on a global level. now who continues to genocide and gather with old methods, intends to completely eliminate the 2 state solution. we also see that they are making efforts to spread the war to other places, especially the 11 us currently israel kent to rise the region because it can obtain weapons and time you nation from other countries. with this understanding, we wrote a joint collateral coal in an old countries to stop selling weapons and ammunition to israel. we forwarded this letter, which had $54.00 signatures to the united nations on november 1st. when the goal of the last to is to stop the supply of arms and any related equipment to israel and put an end to his violation of international laws in palestine, it draws attention to the rising civilian casualties and close with the un security council to take a measures $52.00 nations including russia, china, and 18 african states assigned to the appeal along with 2 organiz

of our six time zones in the country right now. isn't that great? east, central, mountain, west, and alaska. may i ask you to turn your camera on, lisa? i want to ask about the digital equity capacity grant and again, what are your states doing on those? if you want to link it back, please do so but let's go west to east and hear from you first, lisa. lisa: alaska has split our programs we are proposing to do under our digital equity capacity grant program into three different components. we are going to do baseline studies called out in our digital equity plan that need to be done to we are going to do a plan update with that information. the vast majority of the information, it is a very small amount. our first tranche is only $5.6 million. we are using two thirds of that money to run a competitive grant program within our state. we did not take a specific track when we prioritized that pit have left it as open as possible and said if you can obviously tie what you are doing back to one of the key performance indicators that is outlined in our plan, you are eligible to submit a grant appli

west coast. so, you know, with the exception of the alaska in hawaii, people are getting ready to call it a day. where, where are we? uh, well, i would say its obviously we can call it yet. but what it's for me, if i can wax philosophical politic. i think what it's going to come down to is who americans think represents change. we have, we're coming to an election where 2 thirds of the country believes that the us is on a very wrong track. and 6 out of 10 people don't even like the candidates that they're voting for. yeah, so it's a disgruntled and it's a disgruntled electorate who's going to the polling booth when to the point, especially the boomers, right. and they're voting for change. so we have to find out at the end of the account who they believe represented change. okay. describe what do you think? so i think that cited all this has been a somewhat of a good night's life off the trump. so i think the margins in, in florida look better than they were 4 years ago. but we know, as we talked about previously here, the florida can behave differently to the rest of the country. it also looks

high pressure still remains over the west, but it is breaking down as you can see, a lot of action going on in areas over the gulf of alaskas well as into the pacific northwest. we will see an increase in clouds over the weekend. we will get a cooldown as well due to those systems, but we don't see any rain, at least any widespread rain until we get into monday. right now, the winds are generally light and variable. wind out there coming in from the southeast. for novato, coming in from the southwest in napa, coming in from the east over fairfield and calm reported over the inner east bay at this time in our hills. a little breezy, but not too bad. mount saint helena reporting 11mph. oakland south reporting ten. temperatures today were a little bit above average. here's where we stand at this moment 61 in san francisco as well as half moon bay in our east bay low 70s in livermore, san jose, still enjoying 72. got about 45 minutes or so until the sun will set. partly cloudy skies expected for the evening hours and into the overnight. but again, that system there expected to help bring in and usher in a little bit of cooler

i was traveling with the master of the air force and we started on the westcott -- the west coast at the travis air force base and ended in korea, came back to alaska. eight days this was about. however, every place, it was encouraging to see that our airmen understand -- you wonder in my speaking in an echo chamber here in d.c.? is there a strategic urgency? this is not to impugn anyone but i'm not sure the collective awareness has spread across the country that this is a clear and present danger, as they say but when we saw that they are understanding it and leading into it, it was satisfying and energizing. anytime you see a change in the strategic lexicon there's a new terminology. they are understanding it. that was encouraging. >> we share the judgment that there's not a broad enough public understanding and not enough seriousness amongst the congress in addressing either the timeliness of resources provided to the defense department or the magnitude. someone from our team is running a project to move the overton window on understanding how demanding the current threat environment is in the resources that will be capable of comfortably deterr

outskirts of alaska. harvey, he got, i don't mean because i knew the story opposition observers say those as strikes on the horizon a being carried out by syrian government war planes, the targeting the west and neighborhoods of the lit post city. how about the new york? well, the, the opposition funds is what able to enter some of the let pose neighborhoods, including alabama down. yeah. al assets of a and new level. there's a more out of a couple of fields. come on to say the opposition fight is a now sweeping the lodge areas under the control. this is the result of the military operation launched by the syrian opposition forces. they were aiming to push back government forces and allow displaced people to return home. the army quickly collapsed and the opposition was able to reach some of the levels neighborhoods. medina at the head up. so how you would kind of just, you know, how to this is really a tax of kills at least $55.00 people across garza, including $24.00 and an s. try on the on this route, refugee camp fights a jet sponge, residential. there is in the camp in central gauze that causing widespread destruction. israel says it's carried down to an s strike on the 3rd day of th

of the west palm beach convention center. according to the associated press, seven states have not been called. sorry. eight. alaska, nevada, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, and maine. those states have still not been called. if you go to c-span.org/results, you will get a map that labels ea state in the bread were deep blue. those are the states that have been called. the states that you seight blue including minnesota or light red including nevada and arizona have not been called yet that are -- but are leaning in that direction, either republican or democrat. you can click on each one of those individual stas and that will pull up a county by county math you can see exactly how many people have voted in real time, how many people voted which way. it's a terrific tool. hope you will try it. you can go to the qr code on the corner of the screen right now or you can go to c-span.org/results. let's see. it looks like the president is coming out. ♪ ready? ♪ before the rep -- president starts speaking. ab has called pennsylvania for former president trump. ♪ >> thank. wow. >> usa! >> well, i want to thank you all v

west point. and so that's part of it. and again he knows these guys. it's amazing. back up one. so he is first assignment in 1912 is off to the 30th infantry regiment in middle of alaska. it's based out of the presidio and it goes from there to to is stationed for a rotation back then when you know the early days actually rotated units and you learn biography you learn about all these parts of the u.s. army that you never had any reason to know about. and i became a mini expert on very short period of time about the us army in alaska in 1912. and it's fascinating stuff. so he has a company there and he starts becoming right in the middle. you can't get there by road today you have to fly or take a boat. back then you had to just take a boat. so he's out there meets people for examples. eisenhower's chief of staff, chrÉtien g-3 is pinky bull. he serves with him there and in alaska. so those kind of connections are throughout. we weave them throughout the book he a machine gun expert we forget the army machine gun was a big deal in 1914 1516. the two biggest killers on the battlefield are our our artillery and machine and so he becomes a machine gun guy and like eisenho

republican governors including the governors of alaska, arkansas, idaho, indiana, mississippi, missouri, montana, oklahoma, tennessee, vermont, virginia, and westirginia celebrating the money they will receive through this program to connect rural communities in their states to high-speed internet. mr. chairman ask unanimous consent to submit these 12 releases and statements into the record. >> without objection so ordered. >> thank you, i am grateful for the biden/harris administration's leadership investing in american communities and american workers. i am also proud to pass the inflation reduction and bipartisan infrastructure law that have made these investments possible. and i yield back the chair recognizes mr. sessions in texas. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much. i want to go to megan moms if i can please, first. may be the only one in the time we have it. we have heard a lot of discussion about families, women, safety, people being able to afford housing. people being able to afford a job they may have to drive to people. middle america families, women, children, education. could you please talk to us what i believe is about the adm

of that size. alaska is obviously a big state. but population wise, certainly not what nevada is. geoff: let's go to william brangham in westbeach with the trump campaign. we should say fox has called pennsylvania for donald trump. the associated press says several hundred thousand ballots are left to be counted and a flip is still possible if most of what is left to count is advance vote. give us a sense of what is happening in the room and bring us up to speed on your reporting. >> if you had gone to me 45 seconds ago when fox news made the call, i would not have been able to hear a single word you said. the room erupted with as loud of a cheer, a raucous ongoing chant of usa as we have heard all night long. if in fact that turns out to be the case, and we should say as you did, ap has not called it, and that is what we at the news hour go by as our metric, but fox news which is what is playing here in this room, called pennsylvania and this place erupted. if that went forward, trump is within three electoral votes of winning. so incredible jubilation here in the room with a real sense that tonight, even though many peopl
