Early today starts right now. Good morning, everybody. Thanks for joining us today, im betty nguyen. Thank you rio. 17 days of eye popping competition involving 11,000 of the worlds best athletes, the carnivalinspired closing ceremonies carried on in the wind and in the rain in a dazzling response. Back in the u. S. 12time Nbcs Matt Lauer on saturday and apologized for his now defunct details in rio. It was much more than what we heard in rio. And the version were hearing now is much more of a negotiated settlement to cover up some dumb behavior. And thats why im taking that story. Despite the embarrassing incident, team usa carried on capturing gold on the court with an emotional Carmelo Anthony americas alltime leading olympic scorer to cap off his fourth olympics. A bizarre incident marked the ends of the game a mongolian athlete believed he had won that match and celebrated with his coaches only to find uzbekistan was given the in protest, his coaches stripped off their clothes an hurled their shoes. And simone biles, usas little giant proudly carried the american flag. Finishing with a recordbreaking 121 medals including 46 gold. And while the olympic flame was extinguished rio had the quality japans Prime Minister offering the glimpse of the stage in 2020. Developing overnight, were 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, wre Kelly Cobiella from london. Kelly, whats the latest . Reporter well, betty, not only was that bomber young according to turkish authorities this morning, theyre 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. 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 turkeys president. The president blaming isis for this attack, saying theres no difference between that terror group, kurdish militants and those beh 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 doesnt claim attacks in turkey. 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 president ial chances, and Hillary Clinton extends her lead there. 46 to 40 in the latest cbs battleground poll. After a tumultuous week, Donald Trumps campaign and top officials insist that their nominee is getting back on track. And last week included a rare moment for trump when he saidn his new Campaign ManagerKellyanne Conway could not pinpoint what trumps were regretful for. He wants to regret anybody that hes caused personal pain by saying that he didnt intend to cause personal pain. I think those who have received privately should take that expression of regret. So hes called the khan family and john mccain and regrets that. So Rudy Giuliani may not have done the Trump Campaign any favors when he made this controversial remark regarding Hillary Clintons prowess. I fail to point out several signs of illness about her. Her campaign and people defending her are saying theres nothing factual about her health. And that speculation about it. Go online and Hillary Clintons illness, take a look at the video. That all comes after trump established his National HispanicAdvisory Council in new york and called on africanamericans to support his campaign. Youre 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 that remark. Putting out this statement. Donald trump asks what the Africanamerican Community has to lose by voting for him. The answer is everything from a man who questions the citizenship of the first africanamerican president , courts White Supremacists and has been sued for housing discrimination against communities of color. However, trump continues to make inroads with africanamericans. He visited louisiana and donated to the area. Our most recent nbc news poll has trump with just 1 of the africanamerican vote to clintons 91 . Nationally, trump trails clinton by 5 or more. Meanwhile, clinton continues to spend her time in fundraising states like marthas vineyard. Nations top medical experts, zika could be here to stay for the next year or two. I would not be surprised if we see cases in texas and louisiana, particularly now where you have the situation of flooding in louisiana, theres going to be a lost problems getting rid of standing water. When you have a subtropical, or semitropical region with the right mosquitos and individuals who have travelrelated cases that are in the environment, it would not be surprising that only in florida but perhaps in other gulf coast states. And today as kids in miami enter their first day of school, insecticide spraying is under way. Its the best defense against disease known to cause birth defects and even paralysis.

The victim would face charges including reckless driving, vehicular assault and vehicular homicide. To bei bei, a help bench day. Crowds flocked to celebrate bei bei, bao bao and kim kim.
