show is coming up next. >> that's what's happening "today in new york." good morning. hell hath no fury. >> she's the devil. she made a deal with the devil. it's true. >> donald trump launches a new attack against hillary clinton and says he's concerned the election is going to be rigged against while our new poll out this morning shows trump falling eight points behind his democratic rival. unprecedented. the cdc telling pregnant women to avoid travel to a miami named where ten more people have contracted zika. leap of faith. he made history by jumping out of a plane without a parachute at 25,000 feet landing safely in a giant net.

possibly do to top that? we'll ask him in his first live interview since that remarkable stunt. defending the decision. the president of the international olympic committee explains why he did not ban all russian athletes from the games. >> you cannot punish a human being for the failure of his or her government. >> as more members of team usa arrive in rio and the countdown is on for the games to begin, "today," tuesday, august 2nd, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is a special edition of "today" countdown to rio with matt lauer live from rio de janeiro, brazil, and savannah guthrie, live from rockefeller plaza. good morning, everybody. welcome to a special split edition of "today" on a tuesday morning. beautiful shots of rio.

boardwalk just off copacabana beach. friday's opening ceremony just three short days away. i see you with the jacket there. we have to remember, this is winter in rio. >> it is winter. we're dead in the middle of winter. temperatures during the day can get up into the 80s when the sun is out. it's a lot chillier today. probably 70 degrees. it's a little overcast and the wind is blowing. we are along the prominad at copacabana beach. it goes all of the popular place. the beach is right here obviously. but during the day, all times of the day, you'll find people here walking, strolling with their kids, exercising. exercise is very popular here because they all want to look good in those tiny little bathing suits they wear on the beaches and because, savannah, we're at the olympics, we sent our researchers and interns and our production assistants out on

back any moment now. meanwhile, coming up, we'll have a lot from rio including that story you just talked about. thomas bach commenting on their decision not to ban the entire russian team from these games. you know about sugarloaf, right, savannah? >> sugarloaf mountain. >> exactly. that iconic granite peak. hoda and i took a journey up there yesterday. the view is we'll have that for you as well. >> looking forward to that. let's start with the presidential race. our new nbc news survey monkey online tracking poll following her nomination at the democratic national convention, hillary clinton now leads it. donald trump, 50% to 42%. that's a seven-point jump from last week. nbc's hallie jackson has the race covered this morning. she's in columbus, ohio. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. that online poll you just

bounce now for hillary clinton coming out of her convention as her rival, donald trump, faces new fallout today from multiple controversies. he often calls her crooked. now donald trump has a new name for hillary clinton. >> she's the devil. >> reporter: that insult coming as trump slams the endorsement of bernie sanders. >> he made a deal of with the definitely. she's a devil. >> reporter: a new fiery attack. the gop nominee not backing off criticism of the khan family whose son was killed in iraq. >> as far as i'm concerned he's a hero. horrible things were said about me. >> reporter: trump later adding -- >> the son wouldn't have died because i wouldn't have been in the war if i was president back then. >> reporter: the gold star parents keeping up their own

genuine patriotic american falling in his trap. he's a snake solesman. >> reporter: another military mom confronting trump's vp. mike pence forced to defend his running mate on the campaign trail. the last 24 hours have seen responses. almost all praising captain humayun khan's service. john mccain said trump doesn't have an unfettered license to defend those who are the best among us but mccain and other republicans still not unendorsing the nominee. >> i support the nominee of the party. >> i would not have said what he said in the way he said it because the family had a right

in. >> i mean, is there no limit to which this guy will descend? >> reporter: all this as clinton faces her own controversy over her e-mails. fact checkers giving their worst rating to her response to this question on fox news. >> fbi director james comey said none of those things that you told the american public were true. >> chris, that's not what i heard director comey say. director comey said my answers were truthful. >> reporter: clinton getting backing from billionaires like warren buffett laying down a challenge to trump. release your returns, buffett said. >> i'm under audit, too. there are no rules. >> reporter: here's something else making headlines for trump this morning. his comments to a "usa today" columnist about the sexual harassment complaints against fox news' roger ailes.

that ailes allegedly behaved. i would like to think ivanka would find another career or company if that was the case. as an author points out, most women aren't able to quit her job and why a woman should upend her career because she ended up in the crosshairs of some harasser. >> hallie jackson on the trail. thank you. lots to talk about with mark halperin. good morning to you. trying to figure this donald trump. this story has been kept alive for four days. is this strategy on his part or has he lost control of this? i think about president george w. bush who received this kind of criticism from many people including cindy sheehan but he didn't engage with cindy sheehan. he disagreed with that criticism but didn't attack her. i don't understand what trump's strategy is. >> you would be in the same place as a lot of republicans

no one has ever behaved quite like this in presidential politics. he's gone after people before in the past. john mccain and others and succeeded by showing strength but he's chosen to keep up a long running battle with the most sympathetic people you can imagine, gold star families. >> pushing off otherwise negative stories about hillary clinton that may lead all of the headlines. >> greatest frustration for republicans who want him to win is you have the remarks that ha hillary clinton talking about the fbi investigation where she clearly wasn't accurate. you've got gdp growth numbers. >> sluggish. >> weak economic numbers for the incumbent party. a lot of republicans are wonder why donald trump continues to fight with the khan but why isn't he focusing on these issues at a time when he did not get as good a convention bounce as hillary clinton did. >> meanwhile, you have top republicans like speaker ryan, senator mcconnell, john mccain,

attack on the khans personally and khan service. you don't see them rescinding their endorsement of donald trump. do you think pressure is growing on them to do so? >> you don't see many of them on camera saying things. this is an uncomfortable situation for republicans. you have lots of family members i'm hearing of prominent republicans, sons and daughters and spouses saying this is not good. this is not the right way. you should consider unendorsing. i think most of them want to wait for the first they still feel their electoral fate is tied to donald trump. if they enunendorse, they're worried the whole party goes down. polls don't look great for him right now. still close enough they hope that he can come back and party can be unified in the fall. >> he made that intriguing comment yesterday about the system being rigged. some people interpreted that as he's laying the groundwork already that if he loses he can say, well, there was something unfair about the process.

he wants to have a hedge against the loss to say i couldn't win because the system is rigged. it's bad for the country. we need bipartisan, nonpartisan sense that elections are fair, the kind of chaos that donald trump sows may be about himself and not good for the whole country because this election is going to be hotly contested. let's move to new cases of zika leading the cdc to issue an historic whatever they can to stop that virus from spreading further. nbc's kerry sanders is right there in the thick of the battle. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. these are the weapons of war. an airplane that flies late at night, early in the morning, just down over neighborhoods skimming the neighborhoods, letting out a thin mist of insecticide and also fogger

mosquito control. the fear is what looks like a one square mile of miami could spread if the mosquito population is not squashed immediately. this morning the streets of this popular miami neighborhood filled with clouds of insecticide. an urgent all-out counter attack. the enemy, mosquitos carrying the zika virus. >> we're very active in making sure we do everything we can to control the spread of zika in our health officials with an extraordinary warning. pregnant women being advised to avoid miami's artsy windwood district. >> to be safe pregnant women shouldn't travel there and if pregnant women live or work there, they should do everything possible to prevent mosquito bites. >> reporter: florida officials now rushing in reinforcements. an emergency response team from the cdc. alarm bells going off after the number of zika cases from local mosquitos more than tripled from

obviously the apparent connection. >> reporter: many patients are scared. >> now that it hit home, we're extremely concerned about the zika virus. >> reporter: growing concern throughout florida that fear of zika will put a damper on the state's crucial tourism industry. while officials worry zika may ad still has not. you didn't even know? >> no. >> reporter: are you concerned now that you hear that? >> i'm not pregnant. >> right now i'm here. i'm already here. >> we're not leaving. >> reporter: the fogger trucks and airplanes that are laying that insecticide down also have another problem and that is rain, which dilutes the insecticide and it's that rain that creates puddles where the mosquitos breed.

night. savannah? >> kerry, tough situation down there for sure. thank you so much. doctor, good morning. we're at this moment that public officials have been warning about and worrying about where we have locally transmitted cases the zika. what are the chances that it really can be confined to just this small little area? >> the issue is this. what we've always banked on is that the urban infrastructure in or allow the epidemic to grow the way it has in south america and latin america because part of the advisement and guidance has been stay inside, stay in air conditioning, use your screens. there's a lot more information. more education about this. we have some of the preparedness but some of the concerns in the last 24 hours is the insecticide working?

remove standing water, it can grow eggs in the size of a bottle cap. it's a challenge to say the least. >> i wonder why the warning was confined to just this neighborhood. i get that's where we know for a fact the zika mosquitos are but it's not like mosquitos observe borders. why not make it bigger in an abundance of caution? >> i think the answer lies in that this is an actively ongoing investigation and surveillance. i think the guidance as we will fairly rapid basis. as we discussed earlier, the mosquito itself doesn't travel that far. it has a narrow spectrum where it can travel but human beings hijack the bug and start traveling and where we're concerned about the threat. >> that's a question we were talking about ever the show. how is it transmitted? does it go from mosquito to mosquito? >> no. it goes from a mosquito that's infected, bites a human being,

bitten by another mosquito and the human being is the host transmitting it to the mosquitos. the mosquito doesn't transmit to another adult, it lays eggs. that's how generation to generation the mosquito population can get out of control that's infected with this virus. >> thank you so much. let's head back down to rio and matt. >> all right. thank you very much. more and more athletes, more and more spectators arriing every day wh now just three days away. the big news here today, those comments from thomas bach, head of the ioc, defending the ioc's decision not to ban the entire russian olympic team in the wake of that doping scandal.

>> reporter: more bitter arguments over whether any of russia's athletes should be allowed to compete. this morning brazil's incredible coastline the stunning setting for this year's olympics has many athletes arriving in rio overwhelmed like the usa's volleyball team who says complaints of unfit accommodations haven't hit them. >> the village has been wonderful. food has been great. scenery wit pools. yeah, it's wonderful so far. >> reporter: russia still doesn't know how many of its athletes will be allowed to compete. its track and field team among those already banned after a doping scandal being investigated by an ioc committee. overnight, the ioc president defending, not banning, the entire russian team. >> this decision is about justice. justice has to be independent

may come today. nbc news was given a tour of a world anti-doping agency lab where many russian athletes samples were tested. one of the world's top anti-doping scientists saying new ways of doping are always emerging. >> more times than not we're ahead. >> reporter: you're cheating with the cheese to catch the mouse. >> it's not competition one would like to have. >> reporter: other athletes getting into the spirit of the athletes this morning enhancing their bodies in a more fun way. ryan lochte dying his hair blue or is that silver. tonight they'll decide who will

referring to bernie sanders' endorsement of clinton. >> he made a deal with the devil. she's the devil. >> earlier in the day trump told voters in ohio he fears the election is going to be rigged against him but did not elaborate. we're learning more about the pilot who died along with 15 others in that weekend hot air balloon crash in texas. court records show alfred "skip" nichols had a troubled past including four drunk driving convictions but a former girlfriend says he was a recovering alcoholic and had been sober for four years. the cdc issued a new advisory urging pregnant women to avoid traveling to a miami neighborhood where ten new cases of zika have been found from the same square mile in miami-dade county. sky driver luke aikens

made a 25,000-foot jump from a plane without a parachute. for two minutes he rocketed to earth before landing in a massive 10,000 square foot net and we're so happy to have luke right here with us for his first live interview since that record setting leap. good morning. >> good morning. gives me goosebumps. >> still on cloud nine so to speak. >> absolutely. >> you passed cloud 9, 10, 11, 12 on the way down. we've been laughing about this the last couple days. it's amazing what you did but we why did you do that? >> when the project was brought to me, i turned it down. i thought it was a bad idea. i don't want anything to do with that. how can you do this? can you do it? can you make this safe and prove it before you do it? we were able to do that. >> when you see close-up of the net as you land, you think that's a pretty big net. when i look at that video and you start out at 25,000 feet, i mean, it's like trying to find a postage stamp in a football

yourself to the right spot? >> it's tiny from 25,000 feet. you can't really make out the net. you can see the ground. you know where you need to go. as you get closer and lower you make out landmarks lower and you're able to see it and you have to maneuver your body. i was off by about 20 feet on that one. >> you stuck the landing but as we watch it again, you gave me a bit of a heart attack. you were a little close to the edge there. did you feel that way? >> i did. once i knew i was inside the net i was more concerned about that flip to my back and hitting in a nice strong posit s move to the middle i was safe on the edge where i was so we locked it in and rode it into the bottom. >> you did that turn to land on your back. that's the right way to land but why? i would think just get there. >> it bends you. if you're on the back it curves you in the right direction. you have to go blind. when i was in i was concentrating on that nice transition to hit in a nice solid position because i knew i was in.

>> i'm sure you had total focus of course. any moment walking to the steps before you jumped off or at some point during that long two minutes where you were like why am i doing this or felt afraid or had doubts? >> about halfway up i made the decision we wouldn't wear the parachute. it wasn't the right move for me safety-wise. five minutes after that i had a feeling like what am i doing? why would i do that. my cousin andy reached over and bumped my leg. lots of ti took my mind off of it. we focused on what we were going to do. >> your wife was there. you have a little boy. what's next? how do you top this? >> i don't think you try to top something like this. you call it a good one and move onto the next thing. >> would you do it again? >> i would. i would want to hit the middle. >> thank you so much. congratulations again. nice to have you here. >> thank you. >> let us take a turn and get a check of the weather now from mr. roker. >> announcer: today's weather is

anyone can come through. someone connected to the object. may bring through people not connected to the object. >> tyler asked for a pocket knife i brought. he didn't know it once belonged to my maternal grandfather but as he just explained, sometimes other people insist on making their presence known. >> wow. okay. so i have a few people coming through. i first want to start with this man who is insisting to connect. he doesn't come through as grandfather but in aat the passing of this person. i'm definitely getting more reference to a progressive decline of health and showed a symbol of a phone held to one's ear and in a unconscious state and it's okay to pass and they were told by family it's okay. you don't have to hold on. and there's a feeling of appreciation with where he was when he died.

having to get this bird and trap this bird. it's the funniest thing. do we have to run out and grab a box and capture it and throw it out. funny instance about this. it's specific. i have to verbalize it. random details like that can validate that one is coming through. >> we've had that happen. tyler says his abilities include a sensitivity to people's medical conditions and he picked something up from me. >> do you mind if we talk about >> not at all. >> you have a susceptibility to sleep apnea. good to keep in mind. your entire dad's side of family is coming through. >> it has been brought to my attention i snore just a little bit. >> that's all right. >> sleep issues aside, tyler said my dad did have another message. >> there's a reference to fishing but he's talking about

>> her agent is ron myer, legendary hollywood person. he's really an amazing guy. she didn't want to go to the meeting. he tricked her into this meeting where she left and by the time she left she already committed to the movie. he tricked me. no way i wanted to do the movie. won an academy award. >> you get a sense of what agents do and we talked to dustin hoffman, the movie playing the man that has autism. it was the agent that had the idea as i understand it. >> "rainman" was an incredible story. one of the agents was so adamant about tom cruise and his career that they just pushed tom into this movie and let's face it. tom and dustin don't exactly
