11:10 pm
>> i was not surprised but disappointed and slightly misled. campaign gave the impression until yesterday morning he was going to deal with undocumented in compassionate way. >> reporter: trump's address was cheered by mostardent supporters, a pivot it was not but republicans are weighing whether a hardline stance will damage his campaign. trump himself in radio interview said he's softening. >> there is softening. do it in humane way and see with the people in the country, obviously want to get the gang members out, drug peddlers. >> reporter: rueferring to not getting all out. but ohio, the state trump needs to win. >> don't worry, going to build that wall. that wall will go up.
11:11 pm
>> reporter: a departure from the candidate thatstad next to mexican president enrique pena nieetto. >> a showing that advisers says proved he could straddle lines of diplomacy. said the issue wasn't discussed. >> didn't discuss payment of the wall. later date. >> after his departure pena said made it clear. candidate trump knows that i was saying that mexico would not pay for the wall. >> reporter: but trump made equally clear there was no shift in his stance. >> mexico will pay for the wall.
11:12 pm
100%. they don't know it yet but they're going to pay for the wall. >> reporter: all an issue hillary clinton's running mate tim kaine seized on thursday. >> that was a choke and shows that diplomacy is not for amateurs. donald trump is an amateur. >> reporter: phil mattingly ohio. >> the race between trump and clinton is tightening. 42% to 47%. only half the lead enjoyed after the democratic national convention. let's dig deeper into all of this. cnn senior political analyst ron brownstein is here with more on the state of the race. you're the man to have with polls. five point lead in the four-way
11:13 pm
matchup. what do these numbers say? >> couple of things. hillary clinton had a bad couple of weeks. questions about clinton foundation reinforcing the questions about e-mails. high percentage of americans say not trustworthy. but what is most revealing about this poll is donald trump's number. he's still at 37. there has been i believe one credible national poll of a four-way race including the two third party candidates had donald trump even at 40 since august first. movement seems to be hillary clinton goes up or down, some undecided or third parties but donald trump is having a very hard time getting past around 40% of the vote and it kind of adds up. about 60% of americans consistently say they don't believe he's qualified.
11:14 pm
others say they believe it's racially biased. that's why a lot of people expected different speech. >> give us historical and political context with hillary clinton's bump post-convention evaporated faster? >> what she did was cement impressions of trump and questions many voters have about whether he's plausible president. she didn't make that progress changing attitudes toward her, still eequivocal. north star of this race is 60% that don't believe whether he's qualified and roughly that number don't think he's able and think he's racially biased. that's barrier between where he is and where he needs to be. >> in arizona, this is a
11:15 pm
campaign seen the electorate engaged. how many people are left as undecided that could sway over to the trump campaign? isn't it all baked in. >> there's a lot of stability in this race. attitudes toward the candidates very constant. groups of division where trump is strongest among blue-collar whites and religious and -- and clinton is college-educated whites and women and minorities that's baked in. in many ways it's battle of who shows up to vote, who turns out. there is some movement. seen college-educated white men who usually vote republican, leaning toward clinton in larger numbers moving back toward trump as he reminds them he's republican and wants to cut their taxes.
11:16 pm
but core groups, minorities, millennials, college-educated white women, trump is facing overwhelming negatives with them and difficult to see how would move them away. >> can we assume the outreach to hispanic/latino community is done? >> donald trump is underperforming with college-educated whites and facing largest deficits with republicans and, at convention, speech will reach out? instead of doubled down on his core constituency of whites who feel culturally and economically marginalized. and one thing that's important is made clear that donald trump's ob jection is not to undocumented but also legal immigration. talked about holding them within
11:17 pm
historical norms. today it's over 14%. going to reach all-time high like in 1890, around 15%. if donald trump is going to reverse that to historical levels, he's talking about significant reductions in legal immigration which mostly hits asian-american communities. could have problems there comparable to hispanics. >> not expanding the base. >> he's dancing with the one that brung him as we say, betting on the whites more than reaching out. >> dancing with the ones that brung him. "daily mail" is retracting the story about donald trump's wife after sued for libel. saying filed stories with false
11:18 pm
and defamatory statements. the quote, lies, include suggestion she as escort before meeting husband. says reputation damaged to tune of $150 million, and said the lawsuit will continue despite retraction. splinter group of the pakistani taliban is claiming responsibility for an attack. terror group says similar tacks won't stop until islamic law in the country. in a separate suicide attack, a suicide bomber killed people in another area of pakistan. hurricane hermine is battering florida with strong winds and heavy rains. check on it just ahead.

11:34 pm
serve about half of her sentences as long as they show good behavior. and that's what happened in the case of brock turner, aisha, he could have gotten ten years behind bars in state prison but when he walks out of the jail sometime this morning only have served about three months. this is a case that goes back to january of 2015 when turner was accused of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster outside of fraternity and caught by paver graduate students on bicycles. turner tried to say it was consensual but jury didn't buy it. it was a case that rose to national prominence after the victim's powerful impact statement. gu gut-wrenching letter as you said. added fuel to the fire. gave crickets more ammunition in

11:36 pm
responsibility, being remorseful about the crime he committed, judge making statements suggesting he was concerned about how the sentencing and conviction would impact brock turner's life. lot of the advocates outraged with the way the judge handles this, more emphasis on the victim sh has victim's rights advocates so upset. >> and release is more about time served, not conditions in san jose. you've made the point in the past released early because of the conditions in jail. >> couple of things. there is overcrowding in the california jail system but hearing with respect to brock turner, good behavior qualifies him to only serve half of the six months he was sentenced to. >> what does the future look like? not going back to stanford.
11:37 pm
>> college career as he knew it, college athletic career over as he knew it. going back to ohio we're hearing, get on a plane where he'll have to register as sex offender and participate in anger management and sex offenders classes. for the rest of his life he will be listed on a sex offender registry in the state of ohio, and be on probation for a period of time, have to check in and report to officials in ohio. it's not as ifs walking out of jail and suffering no long-term consequences and face it given the notoriety of this case doubtful can resume college career or maybe get a job. clearly suffer. but we have to focus on the victim. as you mentioned, powerful statement. she's really created a conversation around the rape
11:38 pm
culture on college campuses and how privileged athletes are treated. sense they're not given the same kind of punishment as others who commit similar crimes. >> and seen changes rise from them. >> yes, state of california had a loophole in law that treated rape involving unconscious women differently than conscious. you didn't get the same amount of time. since the brock turner trial has been a bill passed, making its way through the legislature, to close that loophole, rape of conscious or unconscious woman anyone guilty suffers consequences and mandatory sentencing. advocates still want the judge to be recalled. >> we'll see what happens.

11:44 pm
front and center in the election. spoke with john lewis, one of the leaders of the country's civil rights movement. says trump is putting the country on a dangerous path. >> i'm sure you paid close attention to the trip donald trump took to mexico and what he said about immigration and harsh comments in the immigration speech in arizona, talking about deporting people and again about building a wall. tell me from your perspective on immigration, civil rights and freedom, what do you make of those comments? >> i'm dismayed and shocked. i can't believe we have a major political figure, someone running for president for the united states to be saying something like this. when the pope came and spoke a joint session of the congress a few months ago, he said we're all immigrants, we all come from
11:45 pm
some other place. it doesn't make sense for someone to be taking about building a wall. we should be building bridges. as martin luther king said years ago, we should learn to live together as brothers and sisters or we'll perish as fools. we have more than 11 million people here living in fear. little children afraid of going to school, think something happen to them or their parents. should embrace the people here and set them on the path to citizenship. >> congressman, children afraid and 11 million living in fear don't know what is happening. do those words resonate to the civil rights struggle that you helped lead? >> those of us who came through the civil rights movement and people of color in this country understand what this is all about. it's fear, fear of the unknown.
11:46 pm
we should embrace the future and not be afraid. and i said to my colleagues in the congress and others, when you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to speak up, to speak out and do something about it. >> you do bring me to a perfect moment to bring up this amazing trilogy, your memoir of civil rights and march to selma on the bridge. why did you decide go for a comic book to tell your story? >> andrew on my staff, my digital director and adviser, came to me and said congressman, you should write a comic book. heard me telling stories of the civil rights movement and finally said yes, i will do it if you do it with me. reminded me of many years ago
11:47 pm
when i was 17 1/2, almost 18, i read a comic book called "martin luther king jr. and the montgomery story" and it became my blueprint, read about rosa parks and king and got in the movement. >> must have taken some guts to take the last of the six great civil rights leaders and say tell this important story as a graphic novel. >> well asked him when i was 24 years old, young enough not to know any better. spent eight years working on it now. think the most intimidating part of it, when you touch this story, legacy of these people, particularly the young people who gave so much for the rights that many people take for granted today you have a duty to tell the whole story and make it plain. in america we have the nine word
11:48 pm
problem. young people graduate knowing only nine words with civil rights movement and we ask why are the politics the way we are? we haven't shown people the way that it was in the movement and if you don't understand that, you can't understand the politics of today. >> you can watch the full interview at cnn.com/amanpour. visited a tiny pacific island where only 50 lived, the president. it's a big step to solidify obama's environmental legacy. sed to the moon. verizon doesn't settle for good enough either. so now we're introducing verizon lte advanced. powering america's largest, fastest 4g lte network ever.
