movement that she's not only attracted to donald trump's campaign but legitimized by trump's campaign and even if he's not running it he seems to be aligning himself with it. that's her argument and you'll hear a lot about alt-right in the next few days. and this morning donald trump is making yet another dramatic shift on immigration. >> if they haven't committed a crime, is there going to be a -- >> first thing -- no, there's not a pass. there is no pass to legalization unless people leave the country -- well, when they come back in, if they come back in then they can start paying taxes. but there is no pass to legalization unless they leave the country and come back. >> the pivot is now causing an uprising within republican circles with conservative voices all bashing trump for the switch. and new this morning uncovered
4:05 am
steve bannon's past. he was involved in a domestic case and the charges were dismissed. his former manager had an incident with a former writer. he was not ultimately charged in that incident. meanwhile, new polling has clinton with a 10-point lead nationally. and today on the trail, donald trump will head to nevada. his democratic vice presidential nominee tim kaine tours through the battleground state of florida. authorities in jackson, mississippi say two catholic nuns have been found slain in their home. police say sisters and nurse practitioners were found dead when they didn't report to work as normal. it appears the nuns were homicide victims however, no motive

4:07 am
partially collapsed overnight. the mayor of amatrice was here moments ago. he told us that several bridges leading into that town are no longer usable and that leaves amatrice which is the hardest hit area with the most casualties isolated. no one could get in or out. rescue operations are still continuing. they were working overnight. no bodies pulled out alive and the priority remains to try to find people who are still trapped underneath. they do believe there are still people trapped. you can see because of the massive aftershocks including a powerful one this morning it's further destabilized the area. more structures are collapsing and it's making rescues almost impossible. the fear is the next aftershock could be even stronger. >> what a desperate situation there. thank you so much, lucy. >> no response. weapons uncovered.
