"cnn newsroom" starts right now. 4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east

coast. the clinton campaign slamming donald trump for his comments about the democratic presidential candidate in miami, florida. on friday, donald trump urged hillary clinton's secret service detail to get rid of their guns. he claimed that clinton wants to do away with americans' constitutional right to bear arms. listen. >> she wants to destroy your second amendment. [ boos ] guns, guns, guns, right? i think what we should do is she goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before. i think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons, disarm. [ applause ] i think they should disarm immediately. what do you think? yes? [ cheers ] yeah. take their guns away. she doesn't. guns. take -- see what happens to her. >> as a matter of fact, clinton has called for tougher gun laws

but has never called for eliminating the second amendment. last month, donald trump made comments suggesting that "second amendment people could, quote, do something if clinton is elected and nominating judges that they didn't like." trump dropping his discredited birther theory. it's an issue that has pushed through the press for many years, and donald trump has been part of that. now, blaming it on his rival, hillary clinton. we have more. [ applause ] >> reporter: donald trump is backing off the long debunked theory that fueled his political rise -- that president obama was not born in the u.s. >> president the barack obama was born in the united states, period. now we all. to get back to making america strong and great again. >> reporter: but trump is refusing to apologize or even

take questions about the reversal. instead, falsely attempting to pin the blame on his rival, hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. i finished it. >> reporter: trump made his announcement as he stood on stage with veterans, including noted birther retired general thomas macki -- mac north americany. he questioned the citizenship, of a soldier refusing to deploy to afghanistan because he didn't believe obama was born in the u.s. trump's shift comes 1 hours after his campaign announced he'll changed his mind and claimed he'd put the issue to rest in 2011 -- something that a series of interviews, tweets, and statements proves is completely untrue.

there's this interview in 2012 -- >> a lot of people do not think it was an authentic certificate. many people do not think it was authent authentic. his mother was not in the hospital. there were many other things that came out. and frankly, if you would report it accurately, i think you'd get better ratings than you're getting. >> reporter: trump continuing to question the issue in this 2014 interview. >> reporter: he is a citizen. he produced that long form birth certificate -- >> a lot of people don't agree with you. a lot of people feel it wasn't a proper certificate. >> reporter: this from a 2015 fox news interview -- >> when i questioned, he gave whatever it was he gave. i'm not sure what he gave but gave something called a birth certificate. i don't know if it was or not. >> reporter: still pushing the false hood during his presidential run including in an interview with wolf this year. >> who knows? who cares right now? we're talking about something else, okay? i have my own theory on obama. >> reporter: all as he stirred the fictional theory time and time again on twirl.

hillary clinton is making clear she has no intension of letting him off the hook on his history of pushing the false theory. >> we know who donald is. for five years he has led the birther movement to delegitimatized our first black president. his campaign was founded on this outrageous lie. there is no erasing it in history. he is feeding in to the worst impulses, the bigotry and bias that lurks in our country. [ applause ] >> reporter: even as obama himself continues to make light of the issue from the oval office. >> i was pretty confident about where i was born. i think most people were, as well. and my hope would be that the presidential election reflects more serious issues than that.

>> thank you very much. >> we're hearing from the first lady of the united states denouncing donald trump even while not referring to him specifically by name. michelle obama made her first solo campaign appearance for hillary clinton in virginia on friday. ms. obama said that her husband set an example for people who questioned where he was born by "going high when they go low." she said trump's behavior on the campaign trail shows what he would be like in the oval office. >> so if a candidate is erratic and threatening, if a candidate traffics in prejudice, fears, and lies on the trail, if a candidate has no clear plans to implement their goals, if they disrespect their fellow citizens including folks who made extraordinary sacrifices for our country, let me tell you, that is who they are. that is the kind of president they will be. trust me. let's get context on all things happening political.

cnn politics reporter eugene scott live in washington this day. always a pleasure to have you. let's start with trump's statement about hillary clinton's security detail, disarming. what's being made of that statement and the insistence that clinton wants to do away with the second amendment, something that is not true. she's denied that consistently. >> reporter: yes, it appears that donald trump echoed some of the concerns or comments or opinions of many of his supporters who do seem to believe that hillary clinton wants to do away with the second amendment. yet allows her security detail to have guns themselves. the truth is, the former secretary does not want to do away with the second amendment, and she is not trying to take guns from everyone. she wants it to be more difficult for some people to get guns and believes that some people, like security details for people seeking elected office, should have access to guns and keep people safe.

>> let's talk about the birther movement. this is something that has been proven false many times. and in this case, you blow up the balloon, you pop it, and you blame someone else for blowing up the balloon. donald trump saying the actual words that the president of the united states was born in the united states, but he is blaming clinton for starting it. that is factually inaccurate. could this hurt his loyal supporters by saying those words, or, in fact, could it give him an opening to these african-american voters? as you know, he's been reaching out to voters looking for their support. >> reporter: i think one thing we do know is that donald trump's face is not going with him. they will be with him, as he's said, until the end of i had campaign and possibly later. regarding his desire to win more minority voters, specifically black voters, this issue is just one of many that people of color have found problematic with

donald trump. so even if this was a start, it's a very small start. and he has much farther to go. as you saw you yesterday, members of the congressional black caucus' political action committee thought his response was insufficient and want an apology. i don't think right now it looks like there will be significant change in a view on donald trump, at least from black lawmakers. >> let's talk about what we're hearing from the congressional black caucus on donald trump's 180. a swift response. let's listen. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> donald trump is nothing more than a two-bit racial arsonist. >> donald trump is doing everything that he can to divide. he's a hater. he's a bigot, and he's a racist. >> trump has acted in a way that suggests he's a bigot. >> by any defining, donald trump is a disgusting fraud. >> we will not elect a chief

bigot of the united states of america. >> not a glowing set of reactions coming from the congressional black caucus. again, we are seeing donald trump pivot and make this outreach to african-americans. he's visited churches, he's spoken more directly to those voters. i want you to also look at the -- this new poll that came out, the cbs/"new york times" poll that shows hillary clinton with 8 % of support when it comes from african-americans. 6% from donald trump. if you compare that to previous polls, you could say that donald trump has gone up some degree. eugene, the question for you -- these latest moves by donald trump, could this indeed help him gain some ground? >> reporter: the trump campaign is certainly hoping so. i was actually at a trump campaign event this week at the congressional black caucus, and one of his spokespeople, katrina pearson, made it clear that they are paying attention to the polls and do see room for growth

and for movement with black voters. as we saw, the political action committee from the black caucus, which has endorsed hillary clinton, wants to make it clear to their constituents and people who support them that they believe that donald trump is not the best person for president for black voters. >> the first debate is set for september 26th. it's not too far away. when we see donald trump talking about the birther issue, for instance, is he trying to resolve these issues before he gets on that debate stage? and what also are we hearing about hillary clinton and her preparation? >> reporter: i would imagine that putting this issue to rest the way he did would help donald trump get past that issue on the debate stage. but i think the fact that he gave such a brief response will present opportunity for more questions, not just from moderators but from his opponent, as well. and so i would not be surprised if it still comes up at the next

debate or debates after that. as far as hillary clinton's preparation, we reported that she is researching deeply not only donald trump's policy positions but you his personality and how he has responded to attacks from his rivals in the primary and things that irk him. i think we can expect hillary clinton to mention those and poke at donald trump a bit to agitate him. >> we'll have to wait and see. the debate not far away. cnn politics reporter eugene scott live in washington. thank you for your time today. >> reporter: thank you. donald trump's change of heart on this birther issue is not his first. from the iraq war to abortions, he's had a few flip-flops through the years. cnn's randi kaye has more. >> reporter: some might call it a flip-flop, others a softening. whatever it is, donald trump seems to have changed his stance on rounding up millions of illegal immigrants and sending them packing. this is what he told msnbc in

november last year -- >> you're going to have a deportation force. and you're going to do it humanely. >> reporter: but just last month, trump sounded like the deportation force was no longer when he spoke with anderson cooper. >> 11 million who have not committed a crime -- >> no, no -- >> a path to legalization, is that right? >> you know it's a process. you can't take 11 at one time and say boom, you're gone. >> reporter: that's not the only time trump has flip-flopped. on the very day donald trump announced his run for the white house, he made this bold statement about his objection to the iraq war. >> i said don't hit iraq because you're going to totally destabilize the middle east. >> reporter: it turns out back in 2002 in his first public comments about the war, he told howard stern he was actually in favor of the war -- kind of. listen. >> are you for invading iraq? >> yeah, i guess so. you know, i wish it was -- i wish the first time it was done correctly. >> reporter: on the issue of

nukes, he told "the new york times" in march that the biggest problem in the world is nuclear proliferation. yet, in the same interview he also said he wouldn't object to south korea and japan getting nuclear weapons for protection against north korea. trump has also done a 180 on abortion. listen to him on nbc back in 1999 at a time when he was considering a run for the white house. >> i'm very pro-choice. i hate the concept of abortion. i hate it. i hate everything it stands for. i cringe when i listen to people debating the subject. but you still -- i believe in choice. >> reporter: in the same interview, trump went on to say he'll also support a woman's right to late-term abortions. that was then. on cnn in recent months, trump made it clear he has "evolved" on the issue of abortion. >> as you know, i'm pro-life. i've been pro-life for a long time. i am pro-life. everybody knows i'm pro-life. as you know, i'm pro-life. and i was originally pro-choice. >> reporter: trump now wants to ban all abortions except in the

case of incest or rain, or if the mother's life is at risk. trump has even done an aboutface on hillary clinton. she and bill clinton were guests at trump's wedding back in 2005. on fox in 2012, he called her a terrific woman saying "she works really hard and does a good job." now facing clinton in the general election, trump is saying something very different. >> lying, crooked hillary. [ cheers ] she's a liar. she's a bad person. >> reporter: as trump wrote in his book "the art of the deal," he never gets too attached to one deal or one approach. seems that holds true for some of his policy positions, too. randi kaye, cnn, new york. the united states says it has killed another top isis leader in syria. that story still ahead here on "cnn newsroom." plus, inside aleppo during

the syrian cease-fire. why the war is never far from sight. marcopolo! marco...! polo! marco...! polo! marco...! polo! marco...! sì? polo! marco...! polo! scusa? ma io sono marco polo, ma... marco...! playing "marco polo" with marco polo? surprising. ragazzini, io sono marco polo. sì, sono qui... what's not surprising? how much money amanda and keith saved by switching to geico. ahhh... polo. marco...! polo! fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. polo!

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell. a contingent of u.s. special operations forces is assisting turkey in its offensive against isis in northern syria. turkish troops entered syria in august, just days after a suicide bomber killed 54 people at a wedding in turkey. some 40 special operations troops are now training and advising the turks. the united states was already providing air support to the turkish offensive. the u.s. has announced the death of another high-ranking isis leader. the pentagon says that a drone strike in raqqah, syria, killed the information minister of isis, wael adel salman. that air ready conducted on september 7th. the pentagon says that salman was in charge of propaganda videos showing torture and executions. he had direct access to isis leader abu bakr al baghdadi. another isis leader was killed by a u.s. drone strike in syria back on august 30th. that cease-fire that started on

monday in syria, it is holding, but humanitarian aid still has yet to reach the thousands of people who need it most. and as fred pleitgen reports, mistrust is growing on both sides. >> reporter: in aleppo, this is what the cease-fire looks like. government forces moving around armored personnel carriers in a contested district. oftentimes, this is what the cease-fire sounds like. [ gunfire ] syrian army personnel acknowledging they don't trust the truce. "we're sticking to the cease-fire," this pro-government fighter says, "but the other side is not. that's why i don't think the cease-fire will work." for their part, rebels accuse government forces of breaching the cease-fire. despite the transgressions, the u.n. says by and large the cessation of hostilities is working. many aleppo residents are still suffering from the clashes that

took place before it went into effect. at the hospital, ahmed and his 7-year-old son mahmoud lie side by side, both wounded by rebel shelling that killed three of mahmoud's brothers. "when the bombshell fell, i went to the ground," the boy says, "and i was bleeding. i felt the shrapnel in my body." it happened last friday. the day the see was announced. crushing ahmed's faith that the cessation of hostilities might work. "even after the cease-fire, i was in the hospital," he says, "and i saw wounded people still being brought here." the calm remains strained. damascus saw heavy clashes on friday around the rebel-held district of jobar. in the early hours of friday, opposition and government forces exchanged fire right here on the outskirts of aleppo, another

sign of just how fragile the current cease-fire is. fred pleitgen, cnn, aleppo. >> thank you. a 21-year-old british man has been sentenced to life for an isis-inspired murder. prosecutors say that he and the an accomplice planned the murder of an imam because the cleric practiced a form of faith healing they say isis rejects. the 72-year-old imam was followed as he left the evening prayer at the mosque. he was beaten to death then with a hammer. authorities say the accomplice may have fled then to syria. a second typhoon set to impact taiwan in less than a week continuing to batter the island nation. our meteorologist, derek van dam, is here. >> first we were talking about typhoon her annie in the -- meranti in the southern sections. now a 72-hour time gap where the island nation has been battered by another typhoon. unbelievable. very active. let's get to the details. first, you have to see what meranti did to the southern tip

of taiwan earlier this week. i want to just give you an idea of the typhoon -- this nation that gets struck by so many typhoons. i want you to see this astounding footage of a woman on her microtrying to just withstand typhoon-force winds. definitely not recommended. i want to break down the two storms because you have to see the difference. meranti, here's the path as it developed west of guam. that impacting the southern sections of taiwan before making landfall across southeast china. now we're talking about typhoon malakas. that sim pacting the extreme northern sections of taiwan and the southern japanese islands. breaking it down even further, meranti, 72 hours ago, had wind gusts of over 180 kilometer when it impacted the region.

taipei, gusty winds of 90 miles per hour. current time, we talk about malakas, our currents storm. you see the wind gusts across the area, specifically across the okinawa prefecture. remember we have theative located within this region, as well. the latest from the joint typhoon warning sign, 205 kilometer per-hour sustained winds. the majority of the con virginia tech or thunderstorm activity is north and east of taiwan. that's where we find the bulk of the extremely strong winds, as well. this storm will pick up speed going forward, and it's going to deteriorate as it does. it's still a formidable storm. gusty conditions as we speak. the winds died down quickly in taipei. for the island across southern japan, that area still feeling the effects of the outer rain band of the storm system. believe it or not, even though we've had the recent uptick in typhoon activity across taiwan

and southeast asia, we're below average for this time of year. normally we would see 11 typhoons, but we've only had six so far. hard to believe considering that taiwan's had two impacting them within the course of a week. >> wow. thank you very much. the zika virus is being transmitted in more areas of miami beach than previously thought. officials there say they are expanding the zone under control in miami beach. authorities also say on monday they plan to declare a neighborhood north of downtown miami to be safe. florida's governor says that he needs more federal funds and resources to fight the zika outbreak there. east of tampa, florida, some residents are concerned that their running water could make them very sick. it's water that is "slightly radioactive." it's leaking from a fertilizer plant. the company says more than 200 million gallons of con tom hated water have been released. that's about 700 million liters of water. the leak has made what you see there, this massive sinkhole.

the company says that it has captured the polluted water, and that there is no risk to anyone there. >> you're watching "cnn newsroom." still ahead, supporters of u.s. president barack obama are rallying around hillary clinton. how donald trump's remarks fire up the obama coalition coming up. plus, why the last things candidates in sunday's russian election want is an american flag. live from atlanta, to our viewers in the united states and around the world, you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm only in my 60's. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i looked at my options. then i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

long-runging, factually incorrect questions about president obama's citizenship. the new wave of controversy could awaken and energize the so-called obama coalition which clinton has been struggling to motivate. members of the congressional black caucus came out in force, calling stroerts action. >> don't walk to the polls. don't jog to the polls. run to the polls. make sure this hater is not elected as the next president of the united states. >> first lady of the united states, michelle obama! [ cheers ] >> reporter: in virginia, michelle obama confronting trump at her first solo campaign appearance for clinton. >> there were those who questioned and continue to question for the past eight years up through this very day whether my husband was even born in this country. [ cheers ] >> reporter: the first lady, one of the most popular figures in politics, helping a former flaefirst lady and making it clear she's fully invested in keeping the

white house in democratic hands. >> no one in our lifetime has ever had as much experience and exposure to the presidency, not barak, not bill, as he would say, nobody, and yes, she happens to be a woman. >> reporter: she's one of many democratic stars hitting the campaign trail. a highlight reel from the party's convention last month now fanning out across the country. to fire up liberals and young voters, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders heading to ohio this weekend. on cnn's "new day," sanders offering sharp words to any of his followers who are still cool on clinton. >> please, anybody who supports me, do not think that donald trump in any way, shape, or form reflects the point of view that i have. >> reporter: clinton is trying to regain her footing after weathering one of the rockiest weeks of her campaign. even making political hay from her setback with pneumonia. >> the good news is, my pneumonia finally got some republicans interested in women's health. [ applause ] >> reporter: on the campaign trail for a second straight day,

clinton told black women leaders they could play a large role in helping stop trump's candidacy. she noted that african-american women vote in higher percentage than any other group. >> this year once again you have your hands on the wheel of history, and you can write the next chapter of the american story. >> reporter: jeff zeleny, cnn, washington. >> thank you. if elected, donald trump is also threatening to roll back the obama administration's efforts to normalize relations with cuba. in miami, florida, trump said friday that washington should have made a better deal with havana. he's threatening to reverse the deal if cuba doesn't release political prisoners and to allow you more political freedoms. listen -- >> all of the concessions that barack obama has granted the castro regime were done through executive order which means the next president can reverse them. and that i will do unless the

castro regime meets our demands. >> as a matter of fact, it was just a year ago that trump said he thought the deal was fine when he was asked about it. in march, he told cnn that he would consider opening a hotel in cuba. moving to russia where people are about to go to the polls this weekend. and as cnn's matthew chance reports, mr. putin is expected to be very happy with the results there. ♪ >> reporter: it's the kremlin-controlled channel where most russians get their news and views. for the first time in years, one of the country's main opposition figures is a guest. mikhail kakionov was invited to debate upcoming parliamentary elections and to have an american flag planted in front of him by a pro-kremlin candidate, reminding viewers who

russia's opposition is accused of defending. even this exposure on state television is an opportunity. >> this is angering some people. others start to waken up. they wake up and i say it's possible even though the situation with everything seems to be under the control of putin. but it's possible to appear on the first channel, and they started thinking that something could be changed, things being changed in the country. >> reporter: these were the scenes in 2011 after the last parliamentary elections in russia. amid allegations of rigged voting, crowds gathered in moscow chanting "down with putin." opposition activists say the kremlin is desperate to avoid a repeat. >> the differences between this election process and the previous one which was in 2011, the difference is that for the first time opposition party allowed to participate in elections. they think they should create

some kind of picture that elections are free and fair in accordance with international standards, et cetera. >> reporter: but that picture isn't complete. opposition figures like kasayonov have complained of threats and harassment. here he was recorded being attacked with a pie in a restaurant. there's also been a secretly filmed sex tape posted on line in what critics say was a bid to discredit and humiliate. it gets more sinister, too. here, he's shown with another opposition figure in the cross hairs of a sniper rifle. the video was posted by the head of the chechnyan republic in russia. he said it was a joke. in a country where kremlin critics are routinely murdered, no one's laughing. how concerned are you? how frightened are you that something could happen to you? >> these days in my country, unfortunately everyone should be scared about behaviors of other

people. and me, too. i'm normal person. that's why i also am scared. i can expect something to happen with me and my family, but i have to -- to continue this i would say mission or whatever, job, which we are already committed to do. ♪ >> reporter: and like him, hundreds of opposition candidates across russia are taking that risk. despite the threats, standing in these russian elections for a slim chance their opposition voices will be heard. matthew chance, cnn, moscow. >> thank you. protesters out the russian embassy in ukraine are angry that voters in crimea will take part in the russian elections.

like beautiful balloon blow up, and many hate come on people. many people are not political correct anymore. they say what they think, what they always think but never tell about that. >> reporter: these experiences have left the polish community here on edge. to ease tensions, polish police have sent two officers to patrol the streets for a week. we bumped into them in the center of town. >> we are here basically to help our colleagues from police. that's our main role. we want to see what the polish community's concerns are. >> reporter: 68% of people voted to leave the european union. while we can't say that the incidents are related to brexit vote, what they have exposed huge fault lines in a community with one of the highest levels of eastern european immigrants in the country. the locals, many outraged by the death, say this isn't a racist

town. they say it's just anti-social behavior by a group of unruly youngsters. as we walk through the city center, the social divide is palpable. >> i've not come across racism. people are getting abit annoyed that we are getting a lot of europeans coming into the town and they're getting priority in housing while people have live thursday all their life are on the list. >> reporter: economics clearly play a part here. harlow, once a vibrant town full of factories is now full of boarded up properties with unemployment one of the highest in the country. and those with little to do are looking for someone to blame. >> before brexit, put it that way, simple as that, it didn't happen. before brexit, everything was going all right. you can't blame eastern
