okay, gio. thanks very much. let's get more on where matthew is headed now. ginger, going pretty slowly. >> very slow. north at 6 miles per hour. and that's been the track all weekend. it has been over open ocean water, but now is the urgent time. the next 24 hours are urgent. haiti, jamaica. the next 48 hours, parts of the caribbean, including the bahamas. let's go ahead and look at the had. i want to lay this out. no alerts yet for the united states. there's a reason for that. i'll explain it. right now, we see tropical storm watches, hurricane warnings and watches. hurricane watch that is go through eastern cuba up through the bahamas. i want to lay out exactly what the track looks like so you can see it at this point. the national hurricane center takes it wednesday into the southeastern bahamas. thursday, central bahamas. and then by friday, so we're talking almost a week away yet as it parallels the united states. we went ahead and put this on here so you see it thread through the islands. this is not good. it won't hit the friction of the land. it will have plenty of energy.

this is the front that's going to push and eventually, hopefully, keep it away from, or at least very minimal impact for us. outer banks by sunday. >> we're thinking about those on the islands. >> absolutely. that's the imminent threat. >> thank you. now to the race for the white house. 36 days until the election. the october surprise about donald trump and his taxes.

the collapse of his atlantic city casinos, his airline and the purchase of the plaza hotel. his loss raising the possibility that, while following the law, he hasn't paid federal income tax in nearly two decades. >> maybe he doesn't want the american people -- all of you watching tonight -- to know he has paid nothing in federal taxes. >> that makes me smart. >> reporter: trump's campaign is not denying the authenticity of the tax return. saying trump is a highly skilled businessman who has a fiduciary responsibility to his business, his family, and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required, adding he's paid hundreds of millions of dollars in a variety of taxes. in 1994, trump sounded confident to abc news while facing a mountain of debt. >> i had $975 million worth of personal debt. and that's down now to about $115 million, and i'm going to pay that off very quickly, in

period of time. >> reporter: it took years, but trump did bounce back. something some of his allies are using one word to describe. >> my response is he's a genius. i mean the reality is -- >> a genius? >> absolute genius. >> no one who has shown more genius in their way to maneuver around the tax code as he rightfully used the laws to do that. >> reporter: but trump himself has railed against the wealthy taking advantage of tax loopholes, possibly the same way he did. >> i know people that are making a tremendous amount of money and paying virtually no tax. and i think it's >> reporter: the clinton campaign talking about the flip-flop. >> we talk about the rigged system out there. donald trump embodies that. >> reporter: now, as trump is dealing with this tax story, the associated press out with an investigation citing former staffers and contestants on "the apprentice" accusing donald trump of sexual harassment. one producer going on the record saying trump would wonder out

the trump team denies these accusations. >> cecilia vega on the trail with clinton from the start. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. clinton has said that she is not going to engage donald trump in his personal attacks. these are more personal than ever. he's going after her health and her marriage. it may be a preview of what is to come in the next debate. donald trump's newest attack? a dramatic reenactment of hillary clinton's near collapse when she was sick with pneumonia. >> here's a woman, she's supposed to figh different things, and she can't make it 15 feet to her car. give me a break. >> reporter: he's going after her mental health, too. >> she could be crazy. she could actually be crazy. >> reporter: during a weekend rally in the battleground state of pennsylvania. trump going after clinton's marriage. this time, not targeting her husband's infidelities, but rather, without proof, hers. >> i don't even think she's loyal to bill, you want to know

and really, folks, really, why should she be, right? >> reporter: no comment from clinton during her sunday visit to a church in north carolina. her campaign calling trump's latest attacks particularly unhinged. but could it be a trial run of what's to come during their next debate? the republican nominee hinting that things could get more personal. the last head to head, now fodder for the opening night of the new season of "snl." >> he is a bully. >> shut up. >> he started the birther movement. >> you did. >> he says climate change is a hoax invented by china. >> it's pronounced jina. >> he hasn't released his tax returns, which means he's either not that rich -- >> wrong. >> not that charitable -- >> wrong. >> or never paid taxes in his life. >> warmer. >> reporter: on the plane, clinton caught on camera,

>> the problem for donald trump, one of them, jon, is that it comes at the end of this week where it started out with a debate performance that most observers thought hillary clinton won. he went and tdoubled down on ths attack on alicia machado. time is running out on this campaign. >> it's a colossal waste of time. a full week wasted. he needs to gain ground on hillary clinton. in terms of the tax issue, the clinton campaign will go at the fundamental fairness question, of somebody that wealthy not pays taxes. but the bigger thing is they want to ridicule him and embarrass him for the size of that business loss. nearly a billion dollars. that's his greatest strength, his brilliance as a businessman. they'll hit very hard. >> you saw hillary clinton get under donald trump's skin at the last debate when she talked about the gift, the loans from his father. when he was starting out in business. we have the vice presidential debate tomorrow.

on sunday thiegt night. trickier territory for donald trump because it's a town meeting debate. >> i think the vice presidential debate could be important. if mike pence does well, he could stop the bleeding from last week. i think if mike pence does well, he can stop the bleeding a little bit. i think this will be a much different dynamic for the presidential debate. you'll have an audience. you have to relate to them. i think it could bring out some of hillary's strengths. more than a stand at the podium debate. i'm very curious to see how donald trump relates directly to somebody standing f >> big questions right there. matt dowd and jon karl, thank you very much. that presidential debate sunday night is right here on abc. our martha raddatz is one of the moderators. tomorrow night, i'll anchor our coverage of the vice presidential debate. with b analysis from the whole team also at 9:00 eastern. now to the deadly train crash in new jersey. ing that killed one person and injured more than 100. this morning, authorities trying to find a way to recover a crucial data recorder. eva pilgrim is on the scene with abc's eva pilgrim is there for

republican nominee avoided paying income taxes for nearly two decades. >> i imagine a lot of people were watching "snl" on saturday. >> i did. >> yes. well, the showdown. aleksandr baldwin as donald trump, and kate mckinnon as hillary clinton. so many talking about those impressions. chris connolly is here. do those influence voters? that's coming up on the big board. >> that's coming up, kim kardashian west robbed at gunpoint in paris. her husband, kanye, ended his concert right in the middle of a song when he got the word. abc's alex marquardt is there on the scene. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is the building where kardashian was renting an apartment for fashion week. right here in the center of paris. the thieves making their way inside and up to the apartment, seemingly with little problem and making off with millions of dollars worth of her jewels. overnight, a source told abc news five gunmen dressed as police officers entered kim kardashian's paris apartment at

locked in the bathroom as the robbers fled with around $10 million of jewelry, including a ring worth around $4.5 million. these photos show her boarding a plane to leave paris a few hours later. kim was in paris for fashion week with her sisters, kendall and kourtney, and her mother kris jenner. posting on social media from various fashion shows and events. paris police and medics seen investigating the crime scene last night. kim's sister, kendall, seen leaving with police protection. the news making its way to husband, kanye west, who was in the middle of performing his hit song, "heartless" in new york city. west abruptly stopping the show. >> i'm sorry. i'm sorry. there's a family emergency, i have to stop the show. >> what? >> reporter: as for kardashian west, the social media superstar has been silent about the ordeal on her social network. but her representative telling abc news, quote, she is badly

so far, the police have arrested no suspects. they will now be combing through all the tape from all of the cameras around here. this is yet another blow to the city of paris. so much so, that a short time ago, the mayor of paris put out a statement calling this a very rare act and saying that kim will always be welcome in paris. george? robin? >> thank you, alex. we move on to a new twist in the alleged murder for hire plot. police in florida arresting a single mom. accusing her of arranging the killing of a prominent florida state law professor. abc's matt gutman has more on that. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. authorities portray katherine magbanua as a femme fatale. in this case. and police say that the miami beauty linked dan markel's in-laws with a pair of hitmen from miami. the reason they wanted the famous law professor dead, an ugly "war of the roses" type of divorce. this morning, katherine magbanua is facing a first-degree murder

police say markel was gunned down in his tallahassee driveway in 2014 as part of an elaborate murder for hire plot orchestrated by the wealthy family of his ex-wife, wendi adelson. police say the 31-year-old magbanua is the link between the alleged triggerman and wendi adelson's family. accused hitman, sigfredo garcia is the father of magbanua's two children. and police say magbanua was th girlfriend of wendi adelson's brother, charles. >> i am a per iodontist. >> did he have anything to do with the murder? >> no. he's been looked at because he had a dating relationship with katherine. >> reporter: the motive? for the alleged hit? the adelsons believe they were desperate for wendi and her two

in the way. >> the work, theory in the case is that the reason for this homicide was due to the bitter divorce that was ongoing. >> reporter: an arrest affidavit claims magbanua made cash deposits totalling about $50,000 in the months after markel was killed. police say she was also compensated with breast augmentation surgery just three months after the murder. and that an informant told them charles adelson picked up half the tab. but the single says, there was no reason to arrest her like this. they say that they want her on bond so she can take care of her two children. police even set up an undercover sting to get information from wendi adelson's mother. in this elaborate sting, video of which was received by abc news, that undercover agent is trying to draw out the adelsons by posing as the brother of one of the hitmen. >> she has the paper. >> reporter: police allege the sting set off a flurry of calls

magbanua, and magbanua and one of the alleged hitmen. an attorney for the adelsons told us her arrest smacks of desperation. the trials for the two alleged hitmen are scheduled to come in the next few weeks. both have pleaded not guilty, but we have learned that authorities are trying desperately to flip them, hoping they will testify against the adelsons. robin? >> all right, matt. joining us abc news legal analyst, dan abrams. it can be so confusing. what do you make of the new in all this, what do you make of the new arrests and charges? >> so remember, what the allegation is, what the theory is for the prosecution is, family wants guy dead. family reaches out to the woman who was just charged. she finds hitmen and they kill markel. okay. the problem is that the woman who is now charged is effectively the middle person, right? because you have the hitmen who

person who was charged. but you don't have the people who the authorities seem to think initiated this whole thing charged. if someone in the adelson family is hiring a hitman and paying her to do it, well then, of course, they're going to charge that person. except no one in the adelson family has been charged. >> what evidence do they have against this woman? >> look, they have -- they were talking about this financial -- >> the cell phone. >> the cell phone records. she does have these connections. remember, her -- she -- i'm sorry. it's so the parent of her two children is the hitman. right? and she was having an alleged relationship with the adelson. and so you got, they believe, a lot of evidence connecting her to both sides in this. but again, without that connection to adelson, which the prosecutors believe is the reason this happened, the theory that i've got to believe, this relates to something matt just said. they're trying to turn the

or the adelsons to turn here, so they charge the middle person who both sides may have sympathy for. >> okay. hard to keep up. hard to keep up. but need to. thank you. >> not the last we're going to hear about this one. >> no, it is not. ming up here, the fire storm around the new film, "birth of nation." robin's interview with the man at the center of it all in the next hour. and big news from facebook. it could change the way we all shop online.

today, users will be able to guy and sell from each other within the facebook app. users on the shop will see a shop icon. you click on that, and you see items listed in your area. maybe a friend of a friend or across the world. you mentioned this bites into all kinds of ecommerce giants. ebay, craigslist, other businesses. one thing facebook won't be doing. handling the payment side of transactions. they're going to leave that to folks using the service to decide on. you can use paypal. even this other amazing payment type. we cal >> i remember that, becky. now you know with any kind of website like this, buying and selling involved. there's concern about fraud. what is facebook doing about that? >> they say, robin, because you can check someone's profile, it gives you real-world context on

you can feel safe, or not, about making a purchase. they say you can file a complaint against a seller if you get a fake or it's not as it was described. if they see a pattern, that seller can be banned from the marketplace. i don't know. would you feel more comfortable buying from a friend of a friend on facebook or someone on ebay with a five-star gold rating? >> that's a good question. that's one that people will be scratching their heads over. you know, every time i pay with cash these days, people are, like, what's that about? thank you, becky. now to a new battle over high school dances. "the wall street journal" highlighting schools around the country that are banning them because of concerns about underage drinking and drug use. a lot of students and parents don't like this. t.j., what is going on here? >> this ain't "footloose." right? nobody in that movie was trying to keep kevin bacon from dancing because they thought he would show up to the prom drunk. that's what we're talking about here. a school outside of boston said it's not worth the headache. kids are showing up falling all over the dance floor. throwing up. >> liability, too. >> they're saying, what's the point?

has gone down in in country over the last 15 years, binge drinking is more common. kids don't drink as often, but when they do, they are trying to get plastered. they want to get drunk. back in the day, we had prom. they have the spring fling, the fall dance, the senior, junior, sophomore dance. they said, forget all those. we'll just do a prom. >> the school is taking matters into its own hands. but people are saying it's up to the parents first. >> you talked about liability. first, this is one of the things with the school. suppose some kid god forbid gets drunk at the school, gets in a car, hurts himself, hurts somebody else. the school could be liable. people are looking at this like you're throwing out the baby with the bath water. you have a couple of bad apples. overwhelmingly, the kids are good. why am i policing the kids? the schools are saying. you have responsibility at home that they're not showing up drunk. >> the way they are showing up. oh, gosh. thank you,ening t.j. let's lighten it up. a little more "saturday night live." you saw alec baldwin and kate mckinnon taking on that debate.

>> my microphone is broken.

i think the initial report card would say, strong performance. >> we haven't had this reaction since tina fey with sarah palin. and sarah palin's numbers dropped after what tina fey did. i think about 16% in 2008. what kind of impact do you anticipate? or is there going to be any kind of impact because of this? >> there will be none. parody and satire are fainting dead away in the face of reality. there is just no way you can satirize or pardy what has gone on in this election cycle. >> in this one. >> it's a very tough business. >> you just lit chris up with that question. >> how often have we been saying, this is like an "snl" skit? what we're seeing happening on the trail. >> it's amazing to witness. you know? and you saw last -- you saw in that debate sketch. in fact, think made a joke on hillary with the miss universe

and that was kind of an interesting sort of wink by the show. saying the job that used to be done by comedy to get under the skin of candidates is now being done by the candidates themselves. that's one of the ways this is different than anything we have seen before. >> that's a good point. >> a parody-proof election. >> chris, thank you. becky. shaking your head. t.j., thank you very much. always good to have you. and the emotional good-bye from a sports legend, vin scully. yeah. and breast cancer breakthrough. angelina jolie's doctor is here with new recommendations and ways to prevent it. come on back. recommendations ad

like unusual bruising. eliquis make increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i may not be going for the big one, but i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke, plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. i got this my second month here. plus less major bleeding. you should have quit while you were ahead. and i've got 9 days left before retirement. look jim, we've been planning for this for a long time. and we'll keep evolving things. so don't worry. knowing what's on your mind and acting accordingly. multiplied by 13,000 financial advisors. it's a big deal. and it's how edward jones makes sense of investing. hey girlfriend, how's your cafe au lait? oh, it's actually... sfx: (short balloon squeal) it's ver... sfx: (balloon squeals)

has been so shifted and pushed aside with revisionist history. i think this is a film that they should see. i really do. >> a lot of people who want to hear from you. to be able to say, okay, are they going to see it or not? it can't really be -- i'm sorry. it can't just be dismissed. what happened. it has to be addressed and then to be able to -- >> of course. of course. absolutely. >> you have a daughter in college. this is a conversation going on. what do you tell her? >> you know, anything i say to my daughter in love is in she knows how i feel about her. and i have addressed it so many -- so many times. did you see the "60 minutes" last night? >> yes, i did. yes. >> i addressed it with anderson. >> mm-hmm. >> and that was the focus of that segment. um, you know, but -- three days out, at some point, you know, i have talked about. i keep talking about it. i keep talking about it. i think -- >> do you apologize.

>> i talked about that last night. >> not everybody saw last night. this is this morning. >> i'm not going to go right there, go through -- and i've said it. i said it last night. i was falsely accused. you know, i was proven innocent. and i'm not going to apologize, you know, for that. i feel terribly about that situation. but -- at some point, you know, we have to -- ask ourselves, like, why are we -- is this a film that is important to us? is it important to, especially people like you and i, you know? the fact that, to face injustice every day in this country. and to be inundated with it on the news with injustice, injustice. how do we handle it? how do we approach it? >> seven years of your life. >> this is my eighth. >> your eighth year working on the film. what was it? i have to admit, i never really heard the story. many of us kind of -- you kind of heard bits and pieces. not this point. why was it so important to you

put your acting career on hold. >> it's important. this is -- being a black man in america and growing up with certain systemic crisis, you ask yourself, what can i do? nina said the artist's job is to reflect the times. i used my art to deal with the things i see every day with hope that it can create a solution. as we know, the black man have been killed. in america. and we have become desensitized to the things that are happening. and the question is, to what do we owe? what is our responsibility? i thing patriotism is about wa wanting to see those who are oppressed get to do better. >> i want to show a bit here. he was a preacher. >> that's right. >> this was a very powerful moment in the film. when he battled scripture with scripture. take a look.

against the holy ghost shall never have forgiveness. >> beware of false prophets -- >> you can find almost anything you want to advance your cause like that in the bible. >> a tool is a tool. some people have used the bible historically for the tool of keeping people in bondage. some people use it for liberation. that's what nat turner did. >> but there are going to be some people. i 48-hour revolution. and what it led to. it's powerful at the end. i don't want to give away. with the young man there. what do you want people to walk away from the film knowing and feeling? >> i want them to ask themselves are there systemic things that are happening in america now that need attention? if they need attention, what can we do specifically with our own occupations to deal with it? there's a lot of talk around the things that need to be different. there's not talk about being specific in addressing these issues of systemic crisis in the

whether it's against people of color, people in the lgbt community. so many people day to day are facing the things that are so disheartening and are corruptive to america in the same way there were systemic crises back then. >> it's a powerful film to say the least. the cast is amazing. we'll have many of them here. you did not have to come out here. you could have let your cast members do it. wepp discussing this. >> of course. and "the birth of a nation" three days out. coming out on friday. coming up, the latest in the battle against breast cancer. it seems age isn't slowing you down. but your immune system weakens as you get older increasing the risk for me, the shingles virus. i've been lurking inside you since you had chickenpox. i could surface anytime as a painful, blistering rash. one in three people get me in their lifetime, linda.

why linda got me zostavax, a single shot vaccine. i'm working to boost linda's immune system to help protect her against you, shingles. zostavax is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults fifty years of age and older. zostavax does not protect everyone and cannot be used to treat shingles or the nerve pain that may follow it. you should not get zostavax if you are allergic to gelatin or neomycin, have a weakened immune system or take high doses of steroids are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. the most common side effects include hing, swelling, hard lump warmth or bruising at the injection site and headache. it's important to talk to your doctor about what situations you may need to avoid since zostavax contains a weakened chickenpox virus. remember one in three people get shingles in their lifetime, will it be you? talk you to your doctor or pharmacist about me, single shot zostavax.
