the diagnosis raises fresh questions. pascal davies reports. >> a ceremony marking the 15-year anniversary of 9/11 was under way when hill clinton -- one hillary clinton made a sudden departure. video shows her struggling to maintain her balance. before being carried into a van by secret service agents. clinton was then taken to her daughter's apartment nearby to recover. after around 90 minutes, she emerged. >> are you feeling, mrs. clinton? mrs. clinton: great. great. small statement. mrs. clinton: it is a beautiful day in new york. in the past few months, donald trump has raised concerns about hillary clinton's health. despite the former secretary of state revealing more details about her health than her republican rival.

he even suggested last week that the candidate release detailed medical records. every time i think about trump, i get allergic. the candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia friday. it is her second overheating episode. this is not the first time that her health has come into the spotlight. back in 2012, the former secretary of state was after a concussion left her with a blood clot in her head. an eyewitness to sunday's incident said he is not too worried. >> i am not concerned personally. >> 68-year-old clinton and 70-year-old trump have both disclosed far less information on their health than previous presidential candidates. hillary clinton has brushed off

concerns that her health would affect the outcome of the election. sunday's episode will likely change the conversation in the race for the white house once again. molly: for more on these latest of elements, we can speak with mr. john zogby -- with pollster john zogby. theticians get sick, but timing is not the best for clinton, so with this image of her stumbling to get into the car, is this a game changer for the election? junko it really could be. -- john: it really could be. her numbers have been going down, her leaves have been dwindling. in a few instances, key states like ohio, she is no longer in the lead. she said something on friday denigrating a whole bunch of donald trump supporters, which certainly was the sort of thing to get her in trouble. giving credence

to what previously was within the realm of conspiracy theorists, just what is wrong with hillary clinton? why is she stumbling? why is she coughing all the time? why is she not letting us know exactly what is going on? this could not happen at a worse time for her. molly: her doctor says she was diagnosed with pneumonia on friday, but as we know, she only went public after the video came out. play outat going to for her and her trustworthiness in the public eye? john: first of all, her trustworthiness is very low, so she needs the remaining time to build trustworthiness. having an episode like this looms a whole lot larger -- why didn't you tell us it was pneumonia on friday, and then let me add a question that you are starting here -- is it

really pneumonia? as it turns out, i am a man of the same exact age, and i have had walking pneumonia four times. i can tell you, it is not fatal, it is not debilitating in a permanent sense. is you are weakened, and it not a question of a few antibiotics, a couple of days at home, and having mom's chicken soup. this could sideline her for four to six weeks of bed rest and home rest. we need to know a whole lot more about what is going on about her. this is not helpful to her campaign. molly: surprisingly, we have not really heard much from donald trump himself on the matter. why is this? john: first of all, this is the way it should be played. the news itself speaks for itself. it does not need donald trump or an opposing candidate to pile on. but then he is donald trump, and

he is due to say something within the next hour. i will be watching, as i'm that you will, too. molly: thank you very much, john zogby joining us there from new york. sticky situation in austria. the presidential electoral rerun has been delayed. the decision was taken after some postal voters said the glue on their ballots was not working properly. the original vote, austria became the first western european country to elect a far since worldf state war ii. here's the australian syrian interior-- the austria minister. >> as head of the national electoral office, this is the capacity in which i'm speaking here. i have to a knowledge a mistake in the production of the voting cards is the reason we cannot guarantee a flawless election in conformity with the law. the reason is a faulty election

and the low. envelope.y election for more coming here is anthony mills in vienna. anthony: under these circumstances, that moment was not foreseen by the constitution. first of all, that needs to be approved. then they need to get a person in place that allows nondefective envelopes to be distributed, possibly changing the printing company. -- the wayf course, it looks now, it looks like it will be at the earliest the end of november, beginning of december. that is what the interior minister said during his press conference. even on a tight timeframe, that looks to be the earliest this election will be out. two months or so is quite a long time in politics. molly: it is quite an external development in an already intense situation, given the

fact that the foreign candidate lost the original vote by less than one percentage point to the independent candidate. do we have an idea as to which way the new vote could go, and also if this delay could possibly influence the outcome? >> it certainly remains very tight. recent polls indicated a slight hofer, therbert right candidate, and edge of two percentage points. 48% for him 52% to overnder been developed -- alexander van der bellen. it is very close. there did appear to be a correlation between the expansion and the attacks that we saw in southern germany, which of course weighed heavily on the minds of many austrian voters. but at this stage it is still a very, very close call, and it is not entirely clear which of the

two candidates stands to benefit most. if there are more attacks, it could be argued that norbert hofer could capitalize on that resurgent sense of insecurity. it could be argued that voters who voted for alexander van der bellen before have really been mobilized by people saying you have to vote for him to prevent a far right candidate from getting into the presidential palace. they may be suffering for the fatigue, say we may not want to go out and vote anymore and we have had enough of the whole debacle. some of the media lines in saying that austria is a laughingstock. there is a sense that the world is watching this. they could be becoming tired of the whole affair. molly: that was anthony mills indiana. later today, a cease-fire is scheduled to go into effect in syria, in a temporary halt to fighting that was agreed by

russia and the united states. the two countries are the main backers of opposing sides in this civil war. as of now, a key question is whether or not moscow and washington can convince their allies to pause the fighting. troops and rebels may lay down their weapons in a few hours, but before they do, they will launch new attacks. this is how it looks on the eve of the cease-fire after the regime bombed a rebel held neighborhood. also hit one province this weekend, i clashes continued in another province and around damascus. the government opposition -- the government and opposition are controlling us much territory as possible before the cease-fire begins. that is the goal. d the u.s. and fateh sponsor deal, like

al-sham. the hard-line group criticizes the deal because rebels have to dissociate themselves from fateh al-sham, formerly known as the elbows were front. nusra front.missou if it holds for a full week, it could eventually lead to new peace talks. there is skepticism the plan will hold. the questions about whether the u.s. and russia have a stronger influence on their allies to keep them from clashing. in turkey, an
