the catch, though, the roaming fees. calls, listen to this, $2.99 a minute. using the cellular network for surfing and downloading would cost more than $2 a megabyte. leon: overseas now. slovenia extended the suspension of the railway traffic with croatia. hundreds of migrants entered slovenia on an international passenger train. several countries are slugging to deal with the refugee crisis that is burgeoning over there. drone footage over the railroads show the huge crowds wandering on the track. the border crossing was shut down after the slashes between migrant and the hungarian border police. singapore and malaysia have gotten so bad there that the government in indonesia declared a state of emergency. that fog was created by the burning of land in sumatra.

about the president and muslims. >> well, i was appalled. reporter: trump's rival, hillary clinton called trump's silence disturbing and discriminatory. >> he knew or should have known what the man was asking was way out of bounds and it was untrue. reporter: john kasich's campaign and chris christie said president obama is both an american and christian. defending the president the way john mccain did in 2008 when this woman made a similar inflammatory statement. >> no, ma'am. no, ma'am. he is a decent family man, citizen that i just happen to have disagreements with. reporter: trump has a history of criticizing the president's background. in 2011 he led a birther campaign questioning whether the president was born in the u.s. white house press secretary josh earnest weighed in today. >> this is a cynical strategy that too many republican politicians have dabbled in. because for some of them it's proved to be successful.

but there are consequences for it. reporter: today donald trump canceled his appearance in south carolina. the billionaire's campaign said he had to attend to a big business deal and will be back on the trail on saturday in iowa. reporting in northwest, kenneth moton, abc7 news. leon: up next on "abc7 news at 4:00" -- pope francis won't be the first and hopefully not the last pope to visit the united states. coming up we take a look at the prior papal visits. the crowds and the controversial topics that each discussed. alison: did you see this? president carter caught on kiss cam. so cute! at a braves' game. crowd reaction coming up on "abc7 news at 4:00".

possible. >> the abuse scandal is an open wound in the church and it is still is. no pastor, certainly no pope can come to our church, our country and not address it. alison: visit to the united states gives popes a peter understanding of this -- better understanding of this nation's catholics. >> it's said that pope john paul ii was told when he came to the united states he'd find the church in disarray, a church that was hostile to the church and the leadership. >> we love you! >> perhaps i love you more. >> he found a vibrant community of faith. alison: pope francis' will will have an effect on catholics and non-catholics. >> a lot of people stop me and
