jamaica. triggering life threatening flash floods. the coast of columbia and aruba seeing monster surf. winds peaked at 160 miles an hour. this morning, matthew is a violent, category 4 hurricane, washing away homes, roads and bridges. eastern cuba is bracing for a direct hit. more than half a million people in matthews path, at the u.s. naval base at guantanamo nonessential employees have been evacuated. it is impoverished nation of haiti that is facing the most devastation. up to 40 inches of rain in some areas could spawn deadly mudslides. the toll could be catastrophic. >> the interim president is warning residents to take cover. port of prince's airport has just closed. schools are also shut down and

shelters are also open. >> residents in nearby jamaica spent the weekend boarding up, stocking up as well. miguel almuguir is in kingston. >> the ominous clouds are not here. we are not being pelleted by win and rain but it is in the forecast for today. category matthew has reached its way to the area. this is w short time ago during a feeder band here. this island country has been hit hard with a blast of flash flooding, swamping streets, homes and businesses. this is exactly what is in the forecast for later today. upwards of 20 inches of rain could fall here and wind gusts could be a problem. millions are bracing for this category 4 hurricane. locals have made a run on supplies, gas, grocery and lumber is all in short supply. we're expecting the nasty

friday, european model brings it closer to the southeastern atlantic coast friday afternoon evening if the u.s. model brings it and brushes it right through saturday morning along the carolina coastline while the european model keeps it just kind of hanging around the southeastern atlantic coast. so right now, guys, models are a little divergent. big differences sunday morning into sunday afternoon and evening. as we continue to track this, we'll really watch it very we have no consensus among the models. so the entire southeastern and mid atlantic coast have to be concerned as we head into the weekend. >> but do both models say it will be a hurricane? >> it will still be a hurricane. whether it is a major hurricane or a category two or three is up in the air. >> we'll have the latest on this storm throughout the morning. now to two new bomb shells in the presidential race. donald trump facing more scrutiny over his taxes and now a report this morning that questions his behavior on the

apprentice." peter alexander has the latest on all of it. >> donald trump facing new allegations this morning about the time that he was running that popular show, "the apprentice" allegations he demeaned women with sexist language. this comes in the latest streak of bad headlines for trump including a report, a report specifically that shows that in 1995, donald trump claimed a nearly single year. donald trump under fire this morning after a new report claims the republican nominee repeatedly demeaned women during his time as a reality tv boss on "the apprentice." the associated press interviewed 25 cast and crew members who described trump's behavior behind the scenes crass, asked one contentant to twirl so he

randall pinkett sized up female contestant. a spokesperson denies the allegations saying the outlandish, unsubstantiated and totally false claims fabrid in the wake of a new york times bomb shell revealing three pages of trump's tax filings from 1995, trump claiming a nearly $916 million loss that could have allowed him to legally avoid paying federal income taxes for up to 18 years. according to tax experts hired by the newspaper. the times receiving the documents from an anonymous tipster including markings calling for a signature from trump's then wife. the campaign official response doesn't dispute any of the

tweeting, i know our complex tax laws better than anyone who has ever run for president and i'm the only one that can fix them. his advisors pushing back. >> the reality is he is a genius. >> the genius donald trump has been is make sure he follows the law. >> the tax story punctuating a rough 7 days. he lashed out against hillary clinton. >> she is supposed to do all can't make it 15 feet to her car. give me a break. give me a break. >> even their marriage. >> i don't think she is loyal to bill. you want to know the truth. >> and really, folks, really, why should she be, right? now trump is trying to capitalize on audio released by an unknown source of hillary clinton discussing bernie sanders and her supporters during the primary. >> they're children of the great

their parents' basements. they feel that they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. and they don't see much of a future. >> clinton campaign verifying the audio saying clinton is inspired by the optimism and the drive of this generation and sanders supporters. trump on twitter calling on sanders to pull his endorsement of crooked hillary. five weeks to go. plenty of fodder for saturday night live. >> he ht returns which means he is not that rich. >> wrong. >> not that charitable. >> or has never paid taxes in his life. >> warmer. >> that is as for his treatment of women, nbc of course was where the apprentice aired referred all questions to the show's executive producer who's pr company didn't respond to the

and e-mails. >> an eventful weekend in politics. thank you. let's bring in nicole wallace. if you listen to democrats, they say this reports a bomb shell. it proves he may not have paid federal income taxes for up to 18 years. listen to trump and surrogates are saying, no, he is a business genius who understands taxes. what are the voters going to say? >> i think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. for a normal campaign and candidate, this would be a really big deal. to for a guy running as a scoundrel, his central purpose for running is i have worked these rigged systems, i have bought politicians, benefitted from a corrupt tax code so you can trust me to fix it and dismantle it. that is his message. i think he is in dire straits right now because of his temperament and his tweets. >> the headlines focused on the

demonstrate that he paid no federal income tax. the larger issue for him would be, here is a guy running on being a brilliant businessman who took a loss of almost a billion dollars in one year. a guy who's selling point is i'm going to run the government the way i run my business. >> i had the same reaction, too. ultimately, in terms of the possibility of not paying taxes for two decades. that is a bomb shell. on the other hand, what nicolle is saying i think is true. a lot of people probably this is the character that donald trump presents himself as. i think his campaign is out there. you heard the line genius. chris christie was saying it. rudy guiliani was saying it. they're over selling that in that way. they suggest you should get high fives for it. there was an opening for trump to argue, look, i'm not saying you should like this or give me a high five for it. you should realize, this is a bad system. i recognize it is a bad system. career politicians have put this

opening here. i'm not hearing him take advantage of it right now, though. >> take it through who the dun it side of this. this was leaked. the three pages of the tax return from 1995 were sent to the new york times. there was a post mark that identified trump towers. that is either an insider or somebody with a flair for the dramatic. >> we heard one of the new york times reporters over on morning joe that was is an investigation under way to figure out how that stamp ended up on the envelope. these school the way the do you means ended up in the new york times inbox. they were mailed. they wrote on the envelope that they came from the trump tower. inside a campaign, you sort of have to deal with the situation that you have, and the situation they have is having to explain this billion dollar loss and why they haven't paid taxes. there will also be a parallel operation under way to figure out how the documents left trump tower. >> whoever leaked them, potentially that is a criminal issue. to leak them, not for the new

somebody to leak them. >> they spend too much time arguing about how they got out. it looks like they're trying to hide something which is in direct contradiction to them calling it genous. >> thank you. thank you so much. the only vice presidential debate, tomorrow night, nbc news, we'll have live coverage. it starts at 9:00 p.m. eastern, 6:00 pacific. we want to turn over to the deadly train crash in new jersey last week. it happened at hoboken, investigs interviewed the engineer who was at the controls but they've run into a problem when it comes to the train's black boxes. tom costello has that part of the story for us. good morning. >> reporter: this train station is so unstable, investigators have been using a drone to survey the train and the final resting place. we don't have much new information about how fast the train was going or in fact, what happened. this morning, photos from the ntsb showing the extensive

station that has kept investigators from gaining access to much of the train. over the weekend, they interviewed thomas gallagher who told investigators he had gotten plenty of sleep the night before the crash. his cell phone was stored in his back pack before the trip and the train and brakes were working normally. >> he said when he checked the speedometer, he was operating at 10 miles an hour when entering the station track. the engineer says he has no memory of t he remembers waking up on the floor of the cab. >> 10 miles an hour is the posted speed limit but witnesses say it was going much faster. another set back for the ntsb, the first black box received wasn't working. no recording of the train's actual speed or breaking action. investigators hope a second black box still inside of the train wreckage captured that data. the body of the 34-year-old mother who died in the crash is

immediately after the crash, perkins knelt beside her waiting for paramedics. >> i told her breathe, focus on her family, focus on your loved ones, i'm here, she fought. she tried her best. >> also this morning, renewed focus on new jersey transit safety record. federal rail inspectors were so concerned about the culture at nj transit, they began safety audits over the summer, finding dozens of alleged violations and ordered immediate fixes. >> i believe on initial look that there is a lack of culture of safety. >> no comment from nj transit. the ntsb say the signals appear to be working. no problems with the tracks. sources are pointing to similarities between this crash and the one in philadelphia more than a year ago. eight people killed on that one and both crashes, the engineer says he can't remember what happened and in both cases, witnesses say the train was

back to you. >> tom costello on this story for us. thanks very much. we know you're watching the track of matthew. what else is on your radar. >> another storm system is making its way in from the west and this one is going to be bringing some heavy mountain snows into parts of the midwest and under the plains. we're watching wet weather in the pacific northwest, strong storms later tomorrow, this afternoon, as this system makes its way east, we have more severe weather tomorrow. we'll look at that in the next down through central and southern florida. nothing to do with matthew. it is a stationary front that is going to be pushing through. we'll get to your local forecast

and that is your latest weather. guys? >> all right, al, thanks very much. coming up, we'll have more on hurricane matthew, what could be a catastrophic hit.

york times" has donald trump facing questions about his personal finances. the paper released part of the republican nominee's 1995 state income tax filings in new york, new jersey and connecticut. they appear to show he reported a net loss of more than $900 million. according to experts hired by the paper, that could have allowed him to pay no federal income taxes for up to 18 years. trump's campaign says he has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes over the moment. he is the most famous person in ohio. a crucial swing state. lebron james is weighing in on the race throwing his support behind hillary clinton. in an editorial for "busy insider," james says hillary is running on the message of hope and unity that we need. it is worth noting, several polls show clinton trailing donald trump among ohio voters. now back to this storm, matthew, one of the strongest atlantic hurricanes in years. it is bearing down on haiti.

morning. hi, gabe, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. downpours are expected to start here in port-au-prince over the next few hours. this is an impoverished country still struggling to recover. but parts of the country are expected more than 40 inches of rain triggering mudslides. the category 4 storm has been churning across the caribbean already dumping heavy rains across eastern cuba and the bahamas are also in its path. here in haiti schools are closed and more than 1,000 emergency shelters are open. port-au-prince's airport is also closed. >> mr. roker? >> that's right, guys. we have an update from the national hurricane center at 8:00. but i just spoke moments ago with the director of the hurricane center, dr. rick knabb, about the uncertainty and why everybody along the southeastern atlantic coast has

>> yes. we can't rule out at this point a direct hurricane impact in florida and we can't rule out impacts, potentially significant, farther up the east coast. everyone on the east coast needs to watch this carefully. but it is far enough out right now we don't have any watches or warnings out for the u.s. there is a possibility it comes closer to the coast than we are currently forecasting. possibility based on some other models it is farther offshore and impacts along the u.s. coast would be a lot less. so fortunatelve is annoying to have to wait to see how this turns out, we do have the luxury of time to be able to think through what we're going to do if those watches and warnings are issued and if emergency managers give some instructions later in the week. >> dr. rick knabb at the national hurricane center. 130-mile-per-hour winds moving north at 5 miles per hour. it will thread the needle between cuba and haiti.

2016 race. >> when advertisers are up against lower viewership and ad blockers and everything else today, it makes a lot of sense for them to try and come out and make a bold statement, even if it posbly alienates some of their audience. >> reporter: take celebrity cruise lines. >> far from the talk of building walls, far from the threats of keeping people out, far from the rhetoric of fear is a differences. >> reporter: making waves with this ad. one viewer says, it took a lot of guts and i'm really proud of celebrity. but from others -- "disrespectful" and "a really bad idea. i don't want to see politics mixing with leisure." >> our lives aren't made better when we close ourselves off to the world. >> reporter: the company's ceo in an online post surprised promoting travel would be perceived as political but acknowledging this "unusual year," telling nbc news, "our

i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents.

long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. since the launch of the new dannon whole milk yogurt, a natural outburst seems to have taken over the country. y...) hi, i'm stuck in an elevator... with a cow.
