We start the day's other headlines with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

President Biden has ordered 1,000 active duty troops to the region to help with aid efforts.

The announcement came just hours before his visit to the Carolinas today to survey the devastation left behind by the storm.

Later in Raleigh, North Carolina, he committed to covering 100% of all costs related to

More than 180 people have died across the southeastern U.S.

Before heading to the Carolinas, President Biden also addressed the dock worker strike,

likening it to a potential man-made disaster on top of the storm.

Mr Biden was highly critical of the port owners saying they should not

profit from the ongoing walkout adding that quote it's time for them to sit at the

guarantees that their jobs won't become automated. There are currently no negotiations scheduled between the two sides.
