Helene has caused major devastation across the Southeast since it made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane. It is responsible for at least 55 deaths, and over three million customers remained without power Saturday. Jason Allen reports from Keaton Beach, Florida. Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut Friday, the Lebanon-based militant group confirmed. For 32 years, Nasrallah led the Iranian-backed group, which is designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. His death now fuels fears of an all-out regional war. Imtiaz Tyab reports from Beirut. President Biden on Saturday called the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut a "measure of justice," saying that under Nasrallah's leadership, Hezbollah was "responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror." Charlie D'Agata reports from the Pentagon. The Harris campaign is rolling out a new ad Saturday night during the Alabama-Georgia football game, which former President Donald Trump is attending, calling on him to commit to a second debate. Nikole Killion reports from Tuscaloosa. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Saturday with a NASA astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut aboard a Crew Dragon capsule that normally carries four. That is because the Crew Dragon's two empty seats will be used to give two Boeing Starliner astronauts a ride back to Earth next February. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were part of Boeing's first crewed test flight of its Starliner, and though it got them to the International Space Station back in June, problems with its propulsion system prompted NASA to look for another ride. Manuel Bojorquez reports.
