but i totally agree with jake.ink a very sensible compromise at the time would have been to say that we're just going to suspend the salary and then we'll pay it back to you. if you turn out to be innocent, of course, you're entitled to your backdated salary because now they look ridiculous, this sort of pleading with him to give the money back. it looks very weak. and jake, the bbc has had a number of sexual abuse scandals and commissioned reviews to learn lessons from them, going back tojimmy savile. are you surprised, in a way, that this huw edwards scandal unfolded as it has? well, i think this probably goes back to some of the abuse of power questions that we were talking about earlier. um, i think the bbc has acknowledged that the huw edwards case has raised questions, perhaps troubling questions about the power accumulated by on air stars. and that will be scrutinised in more detail as part of a workplace culture review, which the bbc is gearing up to launch. it should have been launched already. but i expec

and the lead with jake tapper starts right now >> i'm jake tapper and we are following our breaking news on helene, a monstrous deadly storm that is leaving large parts of the southeastern united states in shambles, life-threatening conditions continuing across multiple states in the u.s. as at least 25 people have been reported dead, including a four-year-old girl killed in a car wreck and claremont, north carolina. right now, hundreds of miles. hundreds of miles north of where helene made landfall as a category four hurricane in florida are emergency situations are still unfolding more than 50 people are stranded on the roof of a hospital in irwin, tennessee right now, that complex surrounded by many feet of water nearby in the western mountainous region of north carolina helene is compounding a rainstorm from wednesday together more than 30 inches if rain fell in 48 hours we're learning that a dam failure in lake lore is quote, imminent. the states transportation department says all roads in western north carolina aryna should be considered closed on to georgia, where more than 11 peo

jake mean the investigations around city hall well, are just continuing. this investigation is by the manhattan district attorney's office. that's different than the us attorney's office for the southern district of new york that brought the charges against adams now we're seeing this expand, but authorities had approached one of adams closest aides at the airport as she disembarked from a flight and was going through customs, they served her with a search warrant and seized her cell phones. we also have video of authorities at her home were moving boxes, certainly a sign that they are continuing investigation surroundings city hall, amid those wave of resignations, jake. >> all right. >> kara scannell in new york. thanks so much there's a new effort to energize young voters in this election. and this effort involves video games, will explain how it works next your reference he was had trouble losing weight and keeping same, discover the power of wegovy my janan to the gobi. >> i lost 35 pounds and some lost over 46 pounds we go i'm keeping the weight off

>> jake? we are taking this storm really seriously, you know, when you look at that track and when you look how it has intensified so rapidly, we want people to know that this could to hurricane ian, hurricane ian had about 14 feet of storm surge and we saw the destruction there. this one they're predicting up to 15 feet. of course, that depends on where it's going to land. but still don't just focus on the wind of this focus on the water because the water is the most significant part. we've been working close jake with the state of florida, the emergency management director down there. we've been moving resources in i'm yesterday today will move the rest of our resources in tomorrow to be there ahead of the storm and then we'll be there to support the state and the governor and whatever he might need to support those initial life safety activities. >> so it's too early right now to pinpoint exactly where hurricane helene will make landfall when it is a hurricane right now, it's likely to impa

jake. >> alright meteorologist elisa rafah. thanks so much. we'll be back with you in a second. let's turn now to florida state fire marshal jimmy patronas. jimmy, do you feel as though florida is prepared for this massive hurricane? >> we are, this is the second largest deployment we've had an urban search and rescue in the state history only second to hurricane ian. we've got about 1,100 men and women pre-staged, ready to go. we brought resources in from out-of-state as a precaution simply because of the magnet the two to this storm and the uncertainty and how fast it was moving your also florida's chief financial officer and thus, you worked closely with insurance company and companies you've worn floridians, quote, do not sign anything. >> what kind of scans should people be looking out for? the wake of the storm jake, thank you for asking that question. >> what will happen is there'll be predators there almost like locus. they will be canvassing the neighborhoods pre-staged better than

i'm jake tapper. we start this hour with breaking news in the elections subversion okay, against donald trump, the judge in the case just set a schedule that could result in the release of some of the evidence against mr. trump before for the november election. let's get right to cnn's katelyn polantz and cnn senior legal analyst, elie honig. >> kaitlan. what could this never before seen evidence consistent? well, this was what the prosecutors were quite explicit in describing in court today. they want to file their what's called the opening brief on precedent presidential immunity. and they've got lots of exhibits. they said this tom windom said, we want to set forth the facts of this case both in and outside of the indictment of donald trump, things like grand jury transcripts three o2s, which are fbi memos of interviews they conduct with people, interview transcripts, additional interview transcripts documentary evidence, all of that. they want to be able to attach to their court filing and show th

what else at our polling tells us jake, let's leave pennsylvania side just a second. it had harris ahead in michigan. harris ahead and wisconsin that would get her to to 50 if she could get the 19 and pennsylvania and the three blue wall states as they're called, have voted together in the last since essentially, since 2000, if she could get that, it would get to 269, she would need just one more could be from nebraska's congressional district, could reach him. any one of these other states. that's why pennsylvania is so big. it gets you 19 that get your clothes. let's just take it back to toss up for a minute though, in leave it there. is there a way to get there without it's sure she was again plus one. it's the physical type let's for the sake of the argument, give it to harris here. plus one out here. let's give it to harris there at donald trump is leading in arizona in our poll outside of the margin of error, you give him that that would get harris there through the sunbelt strategy without it, but it is just as conceivable. these are statistical ties. justice c

and like you said, jake, j.d. vance is scheduled to be at a rally in pennsylvania with tucker carlson he's obviously a very close ally of tucker carlson's dating back to his senate campaign. and before that this is the type of normalization of anti-semitism with type of extreme views that you would normally with someone engaged in that someone would tolerate that, that would be picking them out of the political mainstream. they have to really like excise them from political discourse. but instead we're talking about having a debate and you heard j.d vance said there there's a real normalization of this type of extreme rhetoric that we haven't seen in quite a while, the republican jewish coalition had their summit virtually in las vegas and here is president trump addressing the group i'm sorry, there had their convention trump address them virtually. here's what here's a little bit of what trump had to say 50% of jewish people that are voting for these people that hate israel and don't like gonna be a bad if she b

i'm jake tapper. the big moment is just a few hours away. we just got some video of tonight stage setup. vice president kamala harris will take the podium. that is screen, right. and former president donald trump will be screen left. >> not only will this be the first debate between these two presidential nominees, it will be the very first time that commonly harris and donald trump have ever met face-to-face you might remember donald trump boycotted the inaugural in 2021. >> today, cnn is learning that vice president harris has spoken multiple times now with former secretary of state hillary clinton the democratic nominee, eight years ago, who thrice debated trump in 2016, clinton advised harris, were told to bait trump into who self-destruction. this evening, creating what clinton calls low moments for donald trump's such as in her view, this exchange over russia and putin from 2016 what might, from everything i see has no respect for this person. >> well, that's because he'd rather have a puppet as president for trump. >> sources tell cnn

remember jake, it was a month long. it was bloodier for israeli forces that israel expected and by the way, after they left, he just below lived another day, in fact, grew in power during that time period. then you could go back to 1982 to 2000 and israel had a longer occupation can of lebanon. and again, during that time period has bullet grew in power? the question is, what has israel learned from those experiences? i mean, you can certainly say jake, the shaping operations or the operations in preparation for any ground incursion have been far more extensive than and we saw in 2006, for instance, does it take completely decapitate the entire hezbollah literate leadership from top to bottom and signaled quite clearly to hezbollah fighters and operatives. thousands of them that it could reach out and touch them via exploding pagers and walkie-talkies he's plus all these airstrikes we've been seeing and i should note, jake that as i was just speaking, there heard a jet fly overhead and we often do hear the jets fly over

>> hi there, jake. well, first of all, the ukrainians really are trying to lay low as far as this election campaign is concerned, not to try to look as though they're taking one or the other side. but one of the things is definitely clear is that remarks like the ones that we just heard from former president trump are definitely something that have been for a very long time. concerning to the ukrainians. they obviously fear that if president trump does try to negotiate some sort of settlement to all of this is essentially that it would amount to a surrender by ukraine and they obviously fear that they would have to give up in the end, some of their territory, which is definitely the opposite of what the ukrainians want. the ukrainians are still saying they want to gain back all well their territory and that they wants to win the war that russia has imposed on them through the invasion. one of the interesting things today was secretary of state blinken, obviously here on the ground together with the brit

and as you know, jake donald trump was on the fifth poll putting green. when this went down so that that would have been would have put donald trump about 12 to 15 minutes away from that six hold putting green behind the sixth hole, putting greens. so there wasn't a lot of time before he would have arrived there. they also said that from where they believe ruth was, the there were about 100 feet in distance between where he was and that six hold putting green. we also learned that there was a piece of tape on the scope that they found on that rifle that was a piece of electrical tape that was holding the scope to the rifle and they found a preliminarily at least a fingerprint print that they say belongs to ryan ruth on that electrical tape, not on the firearm itself. >> also jake, it came out in court today that there was a letter at the scene that was discovered that was addressed the new york times, they tested it for dna. >> they looked at it for fingerprints. they said as of now, they haven't found any of ruth's fingerprints or dna on there, but jake

. >> i'm jake tapper. we're following so many stories this hour, but we're going to start with breaking news who is in our pop culture lead, breaking news, it hits rather close to home here at cnn. james earl jones, the legendary actor of the stage and screen has died at the age of 93. he was known for larger than life roles, including field of dreams. he was the voice of star wars villain darth vader and of course in his signature baritone with gravitas, he lent his voice to this network, delivering the iconic tagline. this is cnn. cnn's richard roth has a look now at the incredible life of james earl jones james earl jones was a physically imposing actor i take it back. >> you're not in trouble. you're dead where you stand but it will be jones's voice that audiences will long remember luke skywalker, learn that in the star wars series of it became a big mr. who was that? >> who is that in inside the mass? >> a different actor played vader, but director george lucas realized he needed a villain with a mor

jake all right. >> kara scannell. thank you so much. back to our 2024 lead.tical moment the race for the white house is as close as it could be, perhaps the closest presidential election in our lifetimes. the level of vitriol is red hot and leaders cannot agree, cannot come together on the road ahead joining us now, democratic congressman jim himes of connecticut. he's the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee. i want to start with something that i just saw on twitter congressman. so david frum, who is a republican, never trumper. he's very critical of donald trump and he writes for the atlantic said that the difference breeding here, the upsetting things said by trump and vance are not true, meaning i presumably the stuff about the haitian immigrants in such the upsetting things said about trump and vance are true to this j.d. vance. and here's the tweet up on the screen to this j.d vance says, i'd say the most important difference is that people on your team tried to kill donald donald trump twice and i'm kind of shocked to be honest, first o

>> right, jake, so people understand what happened. the judge who made the decision today was a magistrate judge. that is essentially a judge handles ministerial tasks, initial appearances morrow, the defence will take the case to the district judge. that's the judge will handle this case all the way through trial. if i had to guess, i would say the district judge will agree with the magistrate judge and keep sean combs locked up. first of all, the law says that when a person is facing the charges, sean combs is facing the presumption is that he gets locked up pending trial. so the field is automated medically tilted in the prosecution's favour. he is looking at a minimum of 15 years behind bars if he's convicted, the prosecutors argued that and finally prosecutors argued intensely that sean combs has engaged in constant obstruction of justice, intimidating witnesses, bribing witnesses, and that usually strikes a chord with judges when they're considering bail. >> what do you make of the charges and the indictment, does it seem solid t

jake people like me specifically, like me or you, jake like everybody out in america. >> okay. so what are some of trump's strengths that are helping keep him so competitive well, first of all there are still positive feelings about his administration in the electorate. >> so among likely he voters, 51% say that trump's presidency was a success. 49% say a failure. that is a tick down from what it was a couple of months ago, but still a slim majority of likely voter support or registered voters for this one, i apologize. say that trump's administration was a success. look at the biden administration section 63% of registered voters say it is a failure only 37% call it a success. that's why you continually see the trump campaign trying to tie harris to biden as much as they can among likely voters. the most important issue is the economy. 41% say so. next is protecting democracy at 20 1%. but issue number one, big time is the economy and that is a donald trump dominant category, 50% of likely voters say that they trust him to handle the economy. only 39% of likely voters say that

i'm jake tapper this hour. a stunning admission from the acting head of the u.s.e about his agencies failures during the first assassination attempt against donald trump back in july in butler, pennsylvania. now he's pledging everyone who dropped the

jake. so this is one of two ways that donald trump is trying to postpone his sentencing in the manhattan hush money case, which has long been scheduled for september 18. so two weeks from now one of the things trump is trying to do was get the federal courts to take his case because he said what we have this new supreme court immunity i want to make an immunity defense to the hush money case because some a little bit of the evidence in that case had to do with when donald trump was president. but now a federal court at the moment is saying, no, you can't bring that case over here, but trump's also trying another way to sidetrack his sentencing. he's asking judge marshawn in the manhattan case, he saying, i want you to throw out the verdict because the immune i get to appeal before you sentence me and the da, you said we're fine either way, jake, there is a pretty good chance any chance that trump manages to wriggle out of that september 18 sentencing date on the hush money case. >> all righ

jake. so here we are i don't know. does everyone have sort of i don't know whether it's butterflies or a fear in your stomach, but as we saw last time was the entire world changed, right? the whole world changed in an hour on that to actually, maybe in the first 12 minutes so it. can be lost in a debate and here we are john, it's now tied on this and stakes couldn't be higher. >> it is as close as it can get. it is as close as 2016. it is his closest 2020. some people go deep into the weeds and say it's even closer than that. if that's possible. but that's where we are. we are in a race that has got to be settled by six or seven states probably by unless something breaks and there's a possibility things can break. they both have opportunities. they both have challenges. but as we stand now, this looks like another race that will be settled by somewhere in the ballpark of 100, 250,000 votes divided between three or four states. and those states or pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, georgia, arizona, maybe north carolina

what feedback are you getting, jake, on that?e and, you know, in the mid 20s, early 30s who, you know, traditionally before looking at the sportsbook, it looked like an excel sheet. it was really hard to understand. people didn't under the -- understand the over, the under, -250, i still don't really get it, and that's just the new generation. [laughter] since joey and i met day winger we were, like, we're going to simplify this experience and make it easy for people to understand and easier user interface. and within our company we have the technology and the engineers. so we're all under one roof which isn't typically normal, so we can make changes within the app and the interface really quickly whereas other platforms outsource their technologies, and that's what a really is one thing that differentiates us and why our user interface is something that our customers are loving. liz: joey, the customers may love it, but if you really look at the competition and the numbers right now, it is a tough mountain to climb for you guys,

but his point his point, jake, he's the most pro pro-israel president we've ever had. he has jewish grandchildren of course, kamala harris as a jewish husband, that doesn't mean anything to you. of course, what it means something to you because you brought it up. but of course, we're talking about anti-semitism and he's in charge of the group combatting antisemitism. jake, it's the democratic party that has a large and growing when anti-semitic weighing that, that's the party where anti-semitism has festered now for years, let me just say, as somebody who has been at the receiving end of antisemitism from the left and the right there's a lot of it out there on the left and the right. all those collagen can't at columbia and elsewhere, do you think those are conservative students? of course not they're radical left-wing state, but you know what, when i was watching the republican national convention, i heard lieutenant governor mark robinson's but you can lieutenant governor mark robinson, who is your party's nominee for governor in north carolina. he has been saying an

i'm jake tapper this hour, donald trump says he is planning to visit springfield,

so today we have lisa, jake's daughter of edgar and diana roosevelt. jake's, who i think was going to share a few words about her parents legacy. and before she does that, i do just want to thank our public works director, carla short and ian schneider in public works for their help, as well as deputy city attorneys chris, tom and austin yang and calvin ho in my office and now lisa jakes, come on up and i'll just add as somebody who was in both of those houses many times for many different always wonderful occasions that i would be honored to be a co-sponsor of this item. thank you, president peskin. thank you. president peskin. is this balboa high school that has joined us? yes. we welcome you all. welcome, gateway. okay thank you. gateway so i'm lisa, granted, i'm the daughter of two of the honorees, but i don't think i speak just for myself. they were role models for many of us. and i'd like to also say that they were friends and allies of supervisor preston's grand in-laws. they did a lot of social justice work together. those families, i don't kno

>> hello, i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is frankly thrilled to watch democracy in action were 44 days until the election and early voters have begun to cast their ballots with perhaps the closest presidential election in modern history, the candidates are on the campaign trail making their cases. >> donald trump rallying voters in north carolina. yesterday, notably absence, the man he is warmly backed for governor mark robinson after cnn revealed that robinson called himself a quote, black nazi and made a host of other rather disturbing comments on a porn website forum. more than a decade ago, vice president kamala harris's campaign is hoping that that scandal helps her eke out a wind win in north carolina, which democrats have only done on the presidential level once in the last 44 years. the harris campaign is highlighting trump's past effusively praise for lieutenant governor robinson as she tries to lean into attacks on trump's anti-abortion stance hypocrites want to start talking about this is in the best interest of women and children away comes to taking

that's an understatement jake. and look, he says he does not want to have any appearance that this sentencing is meant to influence the election or that it was influenced by the fact that there's an upcoming election. he writes, the members of this jury serve diligently on this case and their verdict must be respected and addressed in a manner that is not diluted by the enormity of the upcoming presidential election, but it's interesting because judge marshawn has rarely conceded to the trump team's legal arguments. in and around politics. but there is also this issue. the supreme court decision, their recent decision on presidential immunity, and the open question of how that applies in this case the judge said, look, we routinely grant a delays in sentencing given all the factors here, we're going to push this back and elie, of course we should note this decision by judge marshawn is completely different from what judge chutkan said yesterday in the january 6 insurrection case? yeah, jake, it's quite a contrast a

all the facts coming in if you read the report, jake, it's very professional. this is not a political hatchet job we want to get to the truth because number one, we want to make sure this never happens again. >> let me just ask you a question do you think i want to just like take out this is something that i'm curious about. taking out the trump and biden decisions and how it went down do you think that the u.s it would be better if we still had troops in afghanistan you do i think that was the advice in our report of chairman of joint chiefs of staff, milley general mckenzie centcom commander, nor i see myself. but 2,500 is a light footprint to stabilize afghanistan 6,500 nato air cover. very important contractors, it all stabilized afghanistan when president biden came in office, it was a go to zero approach. in other words, we're going to withdraw the military in the contractors. and most importantly, the air support. the afghan military didn't have a chance after that. and the problem i saw competing between state and the white house and the dod was that th

(13mm afternoon. i think it hasjust been afternoon. i think it has just been described in some of your earlier reports thejudge making his remarks saying that hugh edwards perhaps the most recognised newsreader in the uk and his reputation is now in tatters. i think one of my abiding memories of this morning will properly linger in my mind is that to huw edwards he was stood in the dark as he visited sentencing with his hands clasped in front of him, and it reminded me of an image that we have seen so many times on bbc news. him preparing to tell the nation about a major event. he was a trusted and influential in force within our living rooms and here he was, not on television, but learning th

jake. yeah. we're in morgan city, louisiana. and what you're looking at behind me is the northern edge of the i wall, the strongest part of hurricane francine coming ashore, making landfall here in the coming hour or so. there have been and tropical storm force gusts that have impacted us here, but we anticipate these conditions to just go downhill from here because we know that some of the readings just offshore from here have clocked in upwards of 90 miles per hour that is coming to this location right now. every time we get one of these stronger gusts of wind and peltz or face feels like the backwashing of a jet engine as instincts every little hope been exposed. part of my body. now, this storm is coming at a northeasterly trajectory. >> and so what this means is that the current path would the latest computer models and information that we have available to us? >> has this eastern eyewall where we're being impacted by also impacting new orleans city officials. there have canceled flights in and out of new orleans internatio

thank you so much always good to have you on the show thanks, jake. tomorrow's vice presidential debate will be another cnn special event. we're going to simulcast the debate. it's hosted by cbs, our friends nor and margaret will be moderating the debate is nine eastern are coverage starts at seven. watch it all here on and cnn. we have some breaking news here on the lead. brand-new reports of artillery fire from israel into southern lebanon. this is happening just in the last few minutes. a report from our cnn team in the region that's next different time, both on television and off television but for entire career as she could have lost everything owens coming out episodes suddenly it says to the world, hey, it's okay to be gay everyone was talking about it. it was a national event. i don't think i realized how much it meant to the community until i saw people watching the episode tv on the edge, moment it's shaped our culture sunday at nine on cnn mother, mf predicament as you overdid it on the loaded fries. >> and now your gut is in the gutter, un

jake. >> all right. elisa raffa. thank you so much for that update. cnn's john berman is in tallahassee, the capital of florida. john, you're about to get slammed. what are you seeing right now? >> right now, the starting to pick up a little bit as those outer bands begin to pass over tallahassee, the coast is about 20 miles south of here. that is where helene will make a direct hit. but the storm is expected to pass directly over where i am in town well, he said it would be the first storm they've seen on record to hit tallahassee as a full force hurricane and as it approaches a category four, you can imagine easily only 20 miles inland to could still be a category two storm, very powerful as it passes over this city population, some 200,000 isn't with all kinds of trees, jake, the county administrator, warn me that they expect thousands of trees to come down, hundreds of roads to be closed. and what's happening right now is really last-minute preparation, or i should say, staging. the preparation has happened now, people are just waiting at the hote

josh stein told jake tapper yesterday that the cnn story only highlights robinson's previous comments mark robinson is absolutely unfit to be the governor of north carolina. and that was true before he compliments hitler, he says he's a nazi. he buys little toy ss soldiers he says slavery. he wants to bring it back. things that defy comprehension but those only are in keeping with what he has said throughout his entire public life joining me now to talk more about this and more broadly, the 2024 campaign. >> some terrific reporters, cnn's david chalian, cnn's priscilla alvarez, and cnn's own manu raja that hosted inside politics sunday, david chalian, i'm going to start with you we know that historically north carolina is one of those states where voters are more aptitude tickets split than in other states. but this is such a huge story in north carolina, what all of the tim walz around mark robinson any sense from your sources about how that is going to affect the top of the ticket. >> first of all, apparently calling for a return of slavery, not a good campaign strategy not really g

. >> sounds goodod the lead with jake tapper, right now to the lead. i'm jake tapper off the top. we have breaking news on two fronts today in the world, lead a second straight day of deadly explosions in lebanon, apparently targeting members of the terrorist group hezbollah yesterday was their pagers that blew up killing at least 12 members today was walkie talkies and at least 14 were killed. video captured one of the dramatic moments of carnage, a warning the video we're about to play for you, maybe difficult to watch. but what you're about to see is device is set off at a funeral earlier today. here is some of that moment yesterday's attack and today's the targets appear to be members of hezbollah, the group backed by iran that the u.s. desk to me, it's a terrorist organisation. cnn has a team in beirut, lebanon and we're going to go there in just a moment amidst fears that this could turn things into a wider war. but first breaking news in the money lead markets are closing now, on the heels of the highly anticipated decision by the federal reserve to cut interest rates in th

but governor jake. >> jake, first of all, the phillies beat tampa bay he's not hearing. >> okay, go askshould the harris campaign focus should should the harris campaign focus more on the independent voters in erie or the republican women in the collar counties around philly? if if they had to choose he asked. >> i believe if the harris campaign should focus more on independent women in erie or on moderate women voters and the other surrounding counties, was that it jake now on, on on independent voters in the erie area or republican women in the collar county or republican women and sure. >> look jake, i'll tell you everywhere in pennsylvania matters, particularly if this election is going to come down to just tens of thousands of votes. i think you understand that david urban on your panel, certainly understands that there are a whole lot of people in the philadelphia suburbs if you look at the suburbs as sort of its own entity, it's more than two times the size of the city of philadelphia. so there's a lot of voters there, a lot of people to talk to. and i know that the vice presiden

jake, briefly, if you can.should stop using the expression stop the boats? >> well, i think rishi's five pledges was just really bad politics on the day he announced that. i read them and just thought, you've just written your own, you know, suicide note politically because he pledged to do all sorts of stuff that he couldn't control, like reduce nhs waiting times to stop the boats to reduce inflation, which ben correctly says he did do. i mean, clearly it was him or the bank of england. i'm sure that, you know, politicians like to take credit for it . and, you take credit for it. and, you know, the golden rule in politics is you only promise you're going to do something when you know you can actually achieve it , when you know you can actually achieve it, or you have some control over it. and let's not forget, as he set himself a one year timetable at the end of that speech , which i read over that speech, which i read over and over again because i couldn't believe that, frankly, he'd done something so stupid.

. >> illinois governor jb pritzker joins me exclusively hello i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union it his 37 days to go. it's the final sprint of the presidential campaign, and it's still anybody's race yesterday, donald trump offered wisconsin voters a quote, dark vision of the future warning in apocalyptic terms about what his loss would mean and making the rather absurd claim that his opponent vice president kamala harris, has mentally disabled after vice president harris gave a tough speech at the southern border in a remarkable policy and focus turnaround by the democratic nominee but this week outside events overshadowed the presidential campaign. the southeastern united states is still struggling from the quote, biblical devastation wrought by hurricane helene, with dozens killed and six states and many lives still at risk because of rising floodwaters in north carolina. and profoundly de-stabilizing news from the middle east where the lebanese have just recovered the body of hassan nasrallah, the leader of iran-backed hezbollah, which the u.s. let's gover

jake. >> all right. nic robertson in tel aviv. thanks so much. the israel hamas war is taking a toll on us agencies tasked with supporting the biden administration's policy policy is a new inspector general's report shows that the u.s state department office responsible for arms transfers to israel is currently under staffed and is not receiving adequate communication from the white house. this all comes as the administration continues to face criticism, that the state department ignored evidence that israel intentionally blocked humanitarian aid to gaza which would amount to a violation of international law. cnn's kylie atwood takes a closer look concerns about israel's use of american weaponry is in the spotlight once again, as a military conflict between hezbollah and israel has dramatically increased a state department report earlier this year found it reasonable to assess that us weapons used by israeli forces in gaza have been used in ways quote, inconsistent with international humanitarian law, but stopped short of saying that israel viola
