Summary

There is a truce in the war with Iran that the public has yet to see in writing, the details of which both sides are disputing, right down to whether all the parties have to cease all their firing. Beirut suffered heavy damage today, as Israel launched what its military officials called the largest coordinated strike on Lebanon since the war began. Plus, Anthropic, the company behind the AI chatbot Claude, is declining to release its latest model to the general public out of concern over what it’s capable of doing in the wrong hands. Instead, it’s letting several top tech companies test it first. New York Times columnist Tom Friedman joins us to talk about what this new step in AI means for the world and the darker side of its new capabilities. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Good evening from the newsroom, topping our CNN global war coverage, a ceasefire
0:09.6	under fire, a truce the public has yet to see in writing, the details of which both sides
0:14.2	are disputing right down to whether all the parties have to cease all their firing.
0:33.5	That's what the ceasefire looked like today in Beirut, as Israel launched what its military officials are calling the largest coordinated strike on Lebanon since the war began.
0:38.3	According to the IDF, more than 100 Hezbollah's sites were hit today in the space of just 10 minutes.

1:39.0	President Vance today said this. I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding. I think the Iranians thought that the
1:47.3	ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't. We never made that promise. We never indicated that was
1:52.7	going to be the case. What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran, and the ceasefire
1:57.5	would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states.
2:01.6	Now, that said, the Israelis, as I understand it, again, I'm supposed to get a fuller report when I get on the plane,
