9:00 am
page, and we post a lot of original content there, and responds to your media questions. we're back in washington next sunday where i won't have to get up quite so early before the sun's come up. check us out then for the latest buzz. the radical islamic terrorist of isis blamed for the deadly suicide bombing at a wedding in turkey. [ sirens ] the death toll now stands at 51 people who were celebrating at that wedding. nearly 70 others have been wounded. 17 of those, critically. and the bomber, believed to be a wild, a young boy sent by isis between 12 and 14 years old. i'm eric shawn. >> hello, everyone. i'm arthel neville, and world leaders are condemning the
9:01 am
attack, which targeted a kurdish wedding party near the syrian border. they have seen a string to have terrorist attacks, along with a failed military coup last month, and connor powell joins us with the latest. connor? >> reporter: it has been a deadly and chaotic few months in turkey with the latest attack taking place in the border town between gaziantep. they have a lot of syrian refugees who escaped the civil war, and it's home to a lot of isis and jihadists. people turned a blind eye to people going in and out of syria. they have made that town their home, and there are a lot of warnings about islamic extremism there. and the latest attack at a wedding, the bomber between the age of 12 and 14 went into the
9:02 am
celebration as people were dancing and detonated his vest killing at least 51 people. more than 90 or so injured. this comes as turkey has suffered through a military coup last month. a string of bombings, and kurdish separatists across the country, turkey is dealing with not only these attacks, but also political upheaval, and the white house announcing today that joe biden will meet with turkish leaders to reaffirm the u.s.'s support and commitment to turkey, but in washington and other european capitols, there is a great deal to have concern about the stability of turkey. not only from the threat of isis, but the fight between the kurdish government and separatists. and also because of the perception and reality thater
9:03 am
erdgon, it's a key part because the u.s. is trying air strikes on isis and in syria, it's a big part of the u.s. coalition in syria, and there's a lot of concern there, arthel. >> indeed, a very sad situation. thank you so much. eric? >> and for more, let's bring in john bolton. senior fellow of the american enterprise suit. ambassador, what depth of deprivety do they sink to when this is a child? an adult told them to do this, and gave them the suicide belt, and told them what to do. it threatens the innocence of children and of turkey. >> their state sponsors, that's
9:04 am
a fool's errand. what's important here in turkey is what directioner erdgon's attacks and especially given his trip to moscow, and he agrees with vladimir putin. the conflict in syria is iraq is very complex and there are more than two sides. while the instant reaction might be that this means that turkey will take more steps against isis, it's not clear that -- that's the way they are going to go. will they give up the war against assad, and does that mean they give up the forces opposed to assad? and does that mean for the people in turkey? i don't think it's a question of the stability of turkey, but the
9:05 am
direction they will go in. >> we just showed a photograph of he with putin, and he was praising putin, and they are tipping to russia. vice president biden will be there on wednesday. what can he say? what will he say? >> well, i think we're very close to the point where turkey is going to spin out of the western orbit entirely. erdowan is getting used to the secular constitution, and using the failed military coup to wipe out his political opposition. there was news from turkey that released they released 30,000 criminal prisoners, to make room for the political prisoners that he is arresting. and i think the reports of possibly allowing russian planes to use the base combined with
9:06 am
russian planes using air bases in iran to attack opponents of the assad regime, all of this put in context reflects a dramatic demolition over american influence, and the region as a whole. it's very dangerous, and biden ought to be having a very straight conversation. with you part of the west or not? >> it seems he is not. you mentioned the nato air base there. stunningly, the prime minister said they may allow russian forces to use a nato base. look at what the foreign minister said about this. quote, it seems to us that nato members behave in an evasive fashion on issues such as the exchange offing to and joint investments. turkey intends to strengthen its defense system, and we are ready to consider the possibility of
9:07 am
cooperation in this sector. is this the language of an ally? is this the language of a true nato country? >> absolutely not. and i don't think the u.s. and nato want to lose turkey given its critical geographic position and the role it's played in the past and it could play in the future. i don't think a majority of the people want to go in this direction. but it may be out of their hands given the control over the judiciary and military and political system. he said when he was mayor of istanbul, democracy is like a streetcar. you drive it where you want and get off. he is getting off. he is out of nato alliance, and that's why biden should not mince words. >> what would it mean if russia
9:08 am
landed at the base? what would that mean structure and stability of the western world and dependence on that nation? >> we have a conflict with syria and iraq against isis, and in other strategic regions. if the russians turn up next toor to spy on what we're doing, the security will be increased, and it will be the third russian air facility in the region. the bases they are using in iran, and now this one. where is the united states? this is the place where we should be dominant militarily, and we're being replaced by russia, and the president doesn't seem to care that much. >> it would be stunning if the turks enabled that. we'll see how that goes, and vice president biden does as you say, lay a strong message when they meet on wednesday. thank you for your analysis.
9:09 am
>> thank you, eric. a tragic update on a heart breaking story. the brother of a little syrian boy, whose bloodieied image has died. he has passed away yesterday from his injuries following a bombing at their home. images of him made international headlines after he was photographed covered in dust and blood in the back of an ambulance seen here. he is expected to be okay. according to the united nations, nearly half a million people have died. half a million people have died since the start of the syrian war back in 2011. we shift gears now to the campaign trail where hillary clinton and donald trump are not holding any public events today, but there is no shortage of developments. mr. trump's campaign chairman resigning amid yet another shakeup while the candidate
9:10 am
tries to smooth over minority voters, and a judge ordering hillary clinton to answer questions in writing about her e-mail server. kristen fisher has the latest. let's start here. trump's new campaign kellyanne conway made the rounds on the sunday shows this morning. how is she archaracterizing the campaign? >> she said that trump had the best week of his entire campaign because in her words, he is able to be himself. perhaps a slight nod to the departure of paul manafort. she tacked about his immigration policies, and yesterday, it was reported that he said he might be open to legalization for immigrants. for some, that appeared to be a reversal, but today, his new campaign manager, that said any reports of a reversal are false. >> what donald trump said yesterday in that meeting
9:11 am
differed different than what we said different. we need a fair, and quote, humane way of dealing with illegal immigrants in this country. >> she said that's still to be determined. arthel? >> and clinton, coming under renewed scrutiny this week about her e-mails and her family's foundation. what is the clinton campaign saying about that today? >> reporter: well, clinton's campaign manager said this morning that the foundation is in the process of figuring out how to refocus if clinton becomes president, but bill clinton's recent promise to stop accepting foreign donations should be a sure step that this is not a conflict of interest. >> as a philanthropic organization, you didn't hear questions about the bush foundation when the second bush came into office.
9:12 am
their family served on the board. they would step down. >> reporter: about those e-mails, clinton was ordered on friday to answer questions about her e-mail server. is manager said, when he receives them, she'll do them, quote, right away. but she didn't answer if that would happen before election day. >> thanks, chrkristin. weather has been sweeping across the country. look at michigan cleaning up today after reports of six tornadoes that caused extensive damage across five western counties of that state, and the waters are starting to recede thankfully in louisiana. but areas in san antonio, texas, there is their own flooding. brian, let's start with louisiana, and the recovery
9:13 am
efforts there. >> reporter: the efforts are just beginning. this type of flooding is a 1 in 1,000 year event, and the first natural disaster in the u.s. since superstorm sandy four years ago. and almost as much face-to-face as hurricane katrina. search parties are looking for bodies and survivors, and volunteers are helping families clean out homes and providing food and shelter to those now homeless. at least 13 people are dead, and an estimated 60,000 home. homes have been damaged, and according to the louisiana department of health,at least 15 cemeteries across 17 parishes have been unearthed. they are in need of a lot more
9:14 am
donations and volunteers. >> this is a historic, unprecedented flood event, and because it wasn't a hurricane or a tropical storm, this event didn't have a name, we have folks around the country who are realizing how significant it was, and we need help. typically by this buoyapoint in storm, red cross would be receiving more donations. >> the farm bureau is feeding people as the cleanup continues, and in many cases just begins. >> we take for granted that we can go out and have lunch. we can have dinner, and these people basically have nothing. they don't have food, they don't have water. there's nothing, so this is minute compared to what they are experiencing. >> reporter: some 4,000 people are still in shelters. >> while they are recovering, you have the new flooding in texas. what about that?
9:15 am
>> reporter: heavy rain in the san antonio area, familiarly in floresville where high water rescued have been prompted, and 40 people were rescued yesterday. eric? >> our hearts go out to those people effected. for more on the forecast, let's go to our senior meteorologist. how is it looking? >> unfortunately, we have a strong frontal boundary, and that's the focus for the showers and thunderstorms affecting south and central texas as well as the gulf coast. there's a look at it live, and that's the radar. estimated precipitation over the last 48 hours, 46 inches of rainfall will cause flash flooding concerns, and look at
9:16 am
the new orleans area. more rainfall. and flash flooding will be through the new workweek as we see the frontal boundary start to weaken. precipitation sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesday, and watching along the gulf coast. texas towards louisiana where we could get an additional 2 to 4 inches, can there's your new orleans forecast. looking good for monday and tuesday, and then chances of showers and thunderstorms for tuesday and wednesday. your highs across the west, still very warm. 10 to 15 degrees above average. that's not helping wildfires in this area. 31 wildfires burning, and some getting too much rain and some not enough. that's across the west, and not enough across california northwest and northern rockies.
9:17 am
to mention the potential for storms in new england, and potentially in the forecast. back to you. >> you're busy. thank you so much. >> any time. arthel showed us the wildfires, and the firefighters are making headway over those fires that spread over miles in just one day. 10,000 people were forced owe of their homes. also the death of lou pearlman who put the biggest boy bands on the charts. he passed away in prison. that's the african-american block, but will his pitch succeed? >> i fully recognize the

five people found dead inside a home outside of mobile. deputies making that gruesome discovery yesterday, and they say the suspect walked into the sheriff's office, confessed of the crime, and they say he knew all the victims. also the efforts to put out the huge wildfire near los angeles. the blue cut fire is 73% contained and they are shifting to a mopping up phase. the man credited to launching the back street boys has died. he passed away in prison on friday and he had been sentenced to 25 years in prison for a ponzi scheme. he was 62 years old. as donald trump drops in the polls, he is trying to broaden his appeal especially among latino and black voters, arguing that hillary clinton has
9:23 am
abandoned them. mr. trump met with his hispanic advisory board, but new voters, especially african-americans have been a bedrock deficiency. we have the editor in chief of "the daily caller." trump has informed thissed a vuzry board, and he is saying he is not sure. not sure that he is going to stick to what he had vowed throughout his campaign, which is to deport all the 11 million people living in america illegally. how will this be received in the latino community? >> they are starting to panic at the trump campaign, and they show that hispanics are 99% against donald trump. he is changing a little bit, and my guess is it will be too little too late.
9:24 am
six months ago, everybody was wondering, will a 68-year-old white woman be able to hold together the coalition that a black man made, and then this voters like mitt romney had? we have our answer, and i don't think they will be able to shift that this. >> let's look at the polls you allow alluded to. when asked, how would you vote if the candidates were clinton and kaine? 59% said they would vote for that ticket compared to 17% who would vote for trump/pence, and let's look at the latest poll of african-american voters. how would you vote if the candidates for clinton and kaine? 85% said that was the ticket, and 1% said they would vote for a trump/pence ticket. at his rally yesterday, trump
9:25 am
said he wants the gop to be the home of the african-american voters once again, and trump has said he has asked the african-american community to honor them with their vote. would they and should they consider donald trump for president sh. >> there was an avenue he had. that's a name that's widely recognized, and he is not a governor, and he is on tv all the time. folks know him. you can't turn on the hip hop music station without hearing a song about him in some way. he defines himself as his own brand and has been divisive, and hillary clinton has done a good job of giving up the vote. >> and donald trump is trying to make the gop party better again and extend that base. what's wrong with him saying, i want to appeal to the
9:26 am
african-american voter? can he do something about that in the next 78 days? >> a lot of voters' opinions are starting to cement. most people have a strong for him or against him reaction. and he has a point. he said in his rally that democratic policies have not helped out the black community. eight years have not helped out with obama. and there's rampant poverty and difficulty in the schools. donald trump should have an in, and that's what paul ryan has been trying to do. it's possible he could get a little further down, and more support than 1%. but that's a really high mount ton climb. >> do you think mr. trump could accelerate that a bit? his appeal by meeting with the national urban league, the naacp and local pastors who have a
9:27 am
voice in the community? >> more than anything, meet with the pastors. they have a huge effect on getting the sproept pastors are speaking with community leaders and voters all the time, and they are got hostile to donald trump. that would be the group i would reach out to. if you are a trump supporter, what he needs to focus on most is drumming up the white vote. if mitt romney had gotten more hispanic votes than barack obama, he still would have lost because white voters stay home, and that's the largest voting block. >> you are talking about the educated white vote. the polls are showing donald trump behind, and not including the constituentis in the bag. thank you. >> thank you. and now the zika virus
9:28 am
spreading to miami beach. what's being done to fight it and what it means for tourism? the mayor of miami beach will be here to tell us. >> they don't seem to be considering this as daunting as othe others but this is a concern if it expands. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. i'start at the new carfax.comar. show me minivans with no reported accidents. boom. love it.

>> phil keating thank you. we're going to talk to phill phill phill phill phillip levene. he is the mayor of miami beach. what has the city been doing to control the of zika in miami beach? >> it's a couple part operation, and we're educating our residents and tourists, making sure they spray themselves. we're getting rid of standing water, and i was doing it with the team. we upped our efforts in june, and we are continuing to do that, and the county itself we work with. we worked together side by side and working to put in specific pesticides this this area which is 20 blocks. five cases were reported that have links to miami beach. nothing has been conferrirmed
9:36 am
active spreading. it's in 40 state in the country right now, but we take it seriously. >> of course, you do. and you said you have been work, diligently to not knot get it to appear in the first place. but here we are with five new cases, five locals and three touris tourist. do you think you have the resources to annihilate zika there? >> we want to get more state help. as much as we can, and you have to realize that the health department we work with, is a state agency which reports to our governor. what we need is the governor to devote more resources, more money to all of to miami d-dade and it's inevitable, but the more funding and focus we get, the better off we will be. miami beach is very united, and we are working together to make
9:37 am
sure we do it. wynnewood had great success in reducing the problem. we're going to do the same thing. >> you mentioned the governor. governor scott has taken away time off from his -- broken away from his vacation to foibs on the cases. you said you need more resource. how far off are you? how much do you have and how much do you need? >> we need communication. we need information on a very timely manner. what happened the other day was a little bit embarrassing i think for everybody for the fact that, you know, the governor did not share with myself or the county of those five cases. he waited until he had his own press conference and everybody fount out at the same time. that's not the right way, and it's playing politics and that was unfortunate. we hope we get the information from the governor and the department of health and with
9:38 am
that information, we are going to continue our efforts very aggressi aggressively. >> do you believe the cdc travel caution was necessary or maybe a little more of a scare tactic perhaps? >> i don't think that at all. i think what happens is this. they said specifically. only pregnant women who don't have essential travel to those 20 square blocks could consider not going, and if they do, they should wear repellent, and clothes. the number one priority of them, is the safety of our residents and tourists. >> how are the residents doing? are they feeling nervous, or were you able to calm their fears about the virus? >> they are educated on the subject. it was packed and there were people in bathing suits and skate borders almost wearing nothing, and we're getting them
9:39 am
know they should wear repellent. i think a lot of them are, but i think there's far from a feeling of panic at all. our hotels are doing well, and we're having a record summer, and as you understand, things around the world are challenging, and people want to travel domestically. miami beach is one of the most exciting destinations in the world and it will always be. >> you have a wonderful city there. we love it, and let's hope we can get this contained and cleaned up, and get us all at the beach again. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> that sounds great to be at the beach. >> yes. speaking of the water, ryan lochte is given his first two television interviews. he is trying to explain what happened in rio. what he said, what he hopes. we'll show you. and president obama and his family head back to washington after summer break, and there is plenty of waiting. a visit to flood-ravaged state, louisiana.

up dumb behavior. >> and that's why i'm taking full responsibility for it. it's because i overexaggerate thad story. >> the 32-year-old swimmer claims one of the reasons he did that is because he was intoxicated when he gave his interview and he is embarrassed about his behavior. the olympic committee has started an investigation into all this. oh, hi. sorry about that. i was looking at the script. et cete let's talk about script again. president obama was at martha's vineyard. there's plenty of controversy waiting for obama as he moves into his final months of presidency including not visiting louisiana after the floods there.

9:54 am
tweeting. it is the live video being more problematic than anything i think. >> talking about the live video, it is so disgusting. we saw that live video streaming in france of the radical islamic terrorist, he stabbed a police official, tortured his wife and he had the toddler in the room, and on facebook live, you know, showing this live, saying you know, should i kill him, should i kill the kid too. that's horrible. why didn't facebook have the ability since they can do anything else it seems to pull the plug? >> look, with the marketing, they can tell you who will buy, what they're going to buy. they've got so sophisticated, so i don't exactly by the fact that they can't deal with video. look, i'll tell you, eric, it isn't just dealing with video. twitter suspended government access to their main data feed, their fire hose feed through data miner. it is increasingly more difficult for the law enforcement to get access to look at the trends going on and i'll tell you, it is not just the number of accounts they've closed. are they closing the right

accounts, closing the influencers. look, when they launched the harry potter theme park, they only went to four blogs and got millions of people to come to the theme park. that's the power of getting the right people. >> i don't understand what you just mentioned about that. that was when twitter did not allow the intelligence agencies have to access. >> to their main twitter feed. they have a fire hose feed, basically everything that's going throughout the world, they cut off access. they said we don't want to do surveillance. >> they did not let the government have access to that in. >> no, they shut off access. >> do they have a point or just way off base? >> they said it was because they didn't want to support surveillance, look like they were collaborating with government. this is a snowden effect, the issue with apple, the san bernardino shooter phone, so think it is a combination of things. >> well, it is troubling and hopefully we can get a handle on
