japan's prime minister offering the glimpse of the stage in 2020. developing overnight, we're going to turkey where authorities are now blaming isis as the most likely perpetrators of i sigh side attack that shattered a wedding party. at least 51 people are dead. and many of them children. he now said the extremist who carried out that suicide attack was for more than 14 years old. for more, we're joined by nbc's kelly cobiella from london. kelly, what's the latest? >> reporter: well, betty, not only was that bomber young according to turkish authorities this morning, they're saying more than half of the victims were children. in the southeast eastern city near the syrian border. the party was just ending. the guests dancing in the street when that blast went off. the attack now turkey's

deadliest this year. 51 people killed 22 of them children under the age of 14. nearly 100 were hurt including the groom. the victims were kurds. at the funerals on sunday, people were shouting shame on you erdogan, voicing their anger at turkey's president. the president blaming isis for this attack, saying there's no difference between that terror group, kurdish militants and those behind last month's failed coup the president saying all of terrorists trying to destabilize turkey and urging the country to come together. the attack last month was also blamed on isis. the government saying isis was responsible. but in that case, the terror group did not claim responsibility. it typically doesn't claim attacks in turkey. and, betty, so far, no claims
4:05 am
this time. betty. >> thank you so much, kelly. as ohio goes, so goes the nation, donald trump is head to get buckeye state in attempt to shore up his presidential chances, and hillary clinton extends her lead there. 46 to 40 in the latest cbs battleground poll. after a tumultuous week, donald trump's campaign and top officials insist that their nominee is getting back on track. and last week included a rare moment for trump when he said an instance of regret when pressed his new campaign manager kellyanne conway could not pinpoint what trumps were regretful for. >> he wants to regret anybody that he's caused personal pain by saying that he didn't intend to cause personal pain. i think those who have received privately should take that expression of regret. >> so he's called the khan family and john mccain and

apologized? >> no, when he says that he regrets that. >> so rudy giuliani may not have done the trump campaign any favors when he made this controversial remark regarding hillary clinton's prowess. >> i fail to point out several signs of illness about her. >> her campaign and people defending her are saying there's nothing factual about her health. and that speculation about it. >> go online and put down hillary clinton's illness, take a look at the video. >> that all comes after trump established his national hispanic advisory council in new york and called on african-americans to support his campaign. >> you're living in poverty. your schools are no good. you have no jobs. 58% of your youth is unemployed. what the hell do you have to lose? >> the clinton campaign bashed trump for that last week.
4:07 am
that remark. putting out this statement. donald trump asks what the african-american community has to lose by voting for him. the answer is everything from a man who questions the citizenship of the first african-american president, courts white supremacists and has been sued for housing discrimination against communities of color. however, trump continues to make inroads with african-americans. he visited flood stricken louisiana and donated to the area. our most recent nbc news poll has trump with just 1% of the african-american vote to clinton's 91%. nationally, trump trails clinton by 5% or more. meanwhile, clinton continues to spend her time in fund-raising states like martha's vineyard. according to one of our
