JUDY WOODRUFF: In the day's
other news: The Atlantic Coast
along the Carolinas braced

00:03.966 --> 00:08.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
for the storm named Isaias
to strike inland this evening
as a minimal hurricane.

00:10.733 --> 00:14.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Beachgoers made a last visit
to the surf, as skies grew
cloudy and the sea choppy.

00:16.866 --> 00:20.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
North Carolina's Governor Roy
Cooper said, it is yet another
challenge for his state.

00:20.300 --> 00:24.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
GOV. ROY COOPER (D-NC): Now,
I know that North Carolinians
have had to dig deep in recent

00:24.600 --> 00:29.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
months to tap into our strength
and resilience during pandemic.
And that hasn't been easy.

00:31.633 --> 00:36.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
But with this storm on the
way, we have to dig a little
deeper. Lets keep each other

00:37.433 --> 00:40.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
safe from the wind and water,
as well as from the virus.

00:40.333 --> 00:45.300 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
JUDY WOODRUFF: States all
the way north to Maine
are also under storm
warnings and watches.

00:47.300 --> 00:52.066 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
In Southern California,
thousands of people
spent another day under
evacuation orders,

00:54.033 --> 00:57.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
as a wildfire burned in
mountains east of Los Angeles.
It began Friday and exploded

00:59.133 --> 01:02.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
in size over the weekend to more
than 41 square miles. Crews have
been battling in triple-digit

01:04.200 --> 01:08.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
heat to contain a
small part of the fire.

01:08.033 --> 01:13.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
In Eastern Afghanistan,
government forces have retaken
a prison after a day-long fight

01:15.000 --> 01:18.200 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
with Islamic State group
attackers. At least
39 people were killed.
Fighters stormed the

01:20.100 --> 01:23.966 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
prison in Jalalabad, trying to
free hundreds of ISIS prisoners.
Witnesses described the

01:25.233 --> 01:27.233 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
chaos.

01:27.233 --> 01:29.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
KHAN GUL, Witness (through
translator): I saw the attackers
who walked out of the Corolla

01:29.633 --> 01:33.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
cars, and shot the guards of
the prison. Then the windows of
the nearby buildings exploded

01:33.700 --> 01:38.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
over us. I started running
away from the area,
and then gunfire began.

01:38.000 --> 01:43.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
JUDY WOODRUFF: A provincial
official said later that
nearly 400 ISIS prisoners were

01:43.766 --> 01:45.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
freed in the attack.

01:45.900 --> 01:50.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Meanwhile, the Taliban said
that its chief negotiator and
U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo

01:51.666 --> 01:55.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
held a video call tonight.
He gave no details.

01:55.066 --> 02:00.100 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
Back in this country, a
prosecutor in New York
now says that President
Trump's tax returns

02:02.166 --> 02:06.100 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
may hold evidence of
illegal activity by the
Trump Organization. In a
court filing, Manhattan

02:08.166 --> 02:12.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
district attorney Cyrus Vance
Jr. cites public records of --
or, rather, public reports of

02:14.833 --> 02:18.433 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
- - quote -- "extensive
and protracted criminal
conduct." Vance also says
that the investigation

02:19.600 --> 02:23.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
goes beyond hush money
payments to women.

02:23.633 --> 02:28.633 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
A federal judge spoke out
today for the first time
since a gunman killed
her son and wounded

02:31.133 --> 02:34.333 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
her husband at her New
Jersey home last month.
In a video statement,
Judge Esther Salas called

02:36.300 --> 02:40.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
for protecting the privacy
of those on the bench, since
their rulings inevitably anger

02:40.633 --> 02:42.666 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
some people.

02:42.666 --> 02:46.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
JUDGE ESTHER SALAS, U.S.
District Court of New Jersey:
That comes with the territory,

02:46.200 --> 02:51.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and we accept that. But what
we cannot accept is when we
are forced to live in fear for

02:54.866 --> 02:59.833 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
our lives because
personal information,
like our homes addressed,
can easily be obtained

03:02.100 --> 03:06.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
by anyone seeking to do
us or our families harm.

03:06.866 --> 03:11.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
JUDY WOODRUFF: The attacker,
who later killed himself, was
a lawyer and a self-described

03:14.333 --> 03:17.366 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
anti-feminist. Authorities
say he had information
on about a dozen other
female judges as well.

03:19.666 --> 03:24.666 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
In economic news, the nation's
oldest retailer, Lord & Taylor,
is the latest big department

03:27.100 --> 03:30.233 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
store to file for federal
bankruptcy protection
in the face of pandemic
losses. Other new

03:32.166 --> 03:36.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
casualties include the company
that owns JoS. A. Bank and
Men's Wearhouse. In all, dozens

03:38.033 --> 03:42.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
of retailers have filed for
Chapter 11 protection this year,
more than all of last year.

03:44.566 --> 03:48.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Despite this, on Wall Street,
upbeat reports on manufacturing
in the U.S. and Europe pushed

03:51.200 --> 03:53.833 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
stocks higher. The Dow
Jones industrial average
gained 236 points to
close at 26664. The Nasdaq

03:57.466 --> 04:02.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
rose 157 points, and
the S&P 500 was up 23.

04:02.000 --> 04:07.000 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
A second Major League
Baseball team has canceled
games due to COVID-19.
The Saint Louis Cardinals'

04:09.100 --> 04:13.666 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
four-game series with
the Detroit Tigers was
put off today. Seven
Cardinals players and

04:15.733 --> 04:19.600 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
six staff members have
tested positive for the
virus. The Miami Marlins
also had an outbreak,

04:20.666 --> 04:24.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but are due to
resume play tomorrow.

04:24.000 --> 04:29.000 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
And workers in Paris have
begun the four-year job
of restoring the huge
pipe organ in fire-damaged

04:31.333 --> 04:36.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Notre Dame Cathedral. The
process involves dismantling,
cleaning and reassembling the

04:38.366 --> 04:42.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
instrument and its 8,000 pipes.
The 18th century organ survived
last year's devastating fire,

04:44.633 --> 04:48.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but is now coated
in toxic lead dust.

04:48.700 --> 04:53.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Still to come on the "NewsHour":
the Trump administration
intensifies efforts to undermine

04:55.700 --> 04:59.166 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the Postal Service ahead of
the election; the White House
and Microsoft work to avoid

05:01.166 --> 05:04.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
a ban of the popular TikTok app
in the U.S.; parents nationwide
struggle to fill in the

05:05.766 --> 05:10.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
gaps left by the closure of
summer camps; and much more.
