Thats what makes it so tragic. The what do you know in terms of the ability of this community, this area to deal with a magnitude problem like this . Reporter well, this is a seismic area, so theyre used to small tremors. In 2009, there was a devastating earthquake that just leveled one of the towns not so far up the road from here. They have the means and Civil Protection are very well versed in how to save people from these situations. The problem is the area of devastation and the access points. Its been very difficult. We havent seen any heavy equipment come up this country lane yet. This is one of the roads to the hardest hit area. We cant get up there. The roads are blocked. They cant get up there either. This is a multistory building behind me thats now flattened out. You still see the tomato plants in the front garden of the house. This is rural italy. What makes this area so beautiful also makes it so deadly, these ancient buildings. Thank you for the update. Well check back in throughout the program for the status of whats happening there. Joining us now by phone is eve reid. Shes staying in the town of monte san martino. Tell us how you are at this hour and what you felt when the earthquake struck. Hi, yes. Still quite shaken, to be honest. Weve not seen much devastation. Were in a very rural area. We literally are quite isolated. We were woken just after 3 30 a. M. Aisleal yan time with some quite severe shaking of our beds and rooms. Theres ten of us staying here in a farmhouse. I guess shock kicked in straightaway. Were looking at pictures youve taken of your farmhouse. We can see particularly in the bathroom where theres damage, the ceiling has fallen in. You can see the cracks in the ceiling of the bedroom and the wall. I understand you have three generations of your family staying in that farmhouse right now. How old are the kids . My children are 2 and 6. My niece and nephew 10 and 13. So varying ages. Our youngest went straight back to sleep again after the earthquake had happened. What about the older ones . What was their reaction to this experience . They were scared. We were all shaken, as i said earlier. Were all still a little bit shaky, not really knowing whats going on. Obviously were very lucky in comparison to lots of people here. I think in a way that makes it more difficult to come to terms with. What was the shaking like . How violent was it . How long did it last . It was quite violent. Obviously im english, so were not experiencing earthquakes to an extent. So it was a very dichblt experience for all of us. It felt quite violent. It lasted for probably six or seven seconds after we were awake and awoken by it. Im guessing somewhere in the region of ten seconds. What are the aftershocks like . They were quite severe to start with. I havent felt one for an hour or so. Quite minor. You can still feel them and feel the things in the cupboards moving. So yeah, still around, i should think. Well, what a scary experience, eve. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Obviously the best to your family and your kids there. Thank you very much. All right. Well stay on this story this morning. But theres another situation to tell you about. Isis is under attack in Northern Syria as turkish tanks backed by jets and u. S. Coalition war planes crossed the border, blasting the militants from the border town. Turkish jets and artillery have been carrying out shelling and artillery, targeting at least 93 militant hot spots. Turkishbacked rebel forces are also in the region. Okay. Now to the big story back home here. Donald trump says he may be, quote, softening his hard line stance on immigration, saying he might be open to allowing some undocumented immigrants to stay in the u. S. Trump also using a new report to attack the Clinton Foundation. The clinton camp is firing back. Cnn National Correspondent Jessica Schneider is tracking all of the latest developments for us. Jessica, what is the latest . Reporter the latest is that donald trump is honing in on his attacks of Hillary Clinton, also of the Clinton Foundation. In fact, calling it a foundation that is a business that used political clout to make advances. So donald trump was in austin, texas, last night. He talked about Hillary Clinton honing in on those attacks, but he also focused in on maybe softening his stance on immigration. It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the state department begins. Reporter donald trump honing his rally cry, attacking Hillary Clinton and her familys name sake foundation. The clintons set up a business to profit from public office. Reporter trump seizing on a new report by the Associated Press that claims more than 50 of the private citizens Hillary Clinton met with during her tenure as secretary of state were donors to the Clinton Foundation. This is corruption. And this is why i have called for a special prosecutor. Reporter the Clinton Campaign mincing no words in denouncing the aps report, disputing the findings in a statement, saying this story relies on utterly flawed data. It cherry picked a limited subset of secretary clintons schedule to give a distorted portrayal of how often she crossed paths with individuals connected to charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation. The data does not account for more than half of her tenure as secretary, and it omits more than 1700 meetings she took with world leaders. The state Department Also releasing a statement saying its entirely within the law that individuals, including those who have donated to political campaigns, make contact or have meetings with officials in the administration. This as trump confirms he may consider softening his hard line stance on immigration, allowing some lawabiding undocumentedmeundocumented immigrants to stay in the u. S. There certainly can be a softening. Were not looking to hurt people. We have some great people in this country. Reporter this is a major reversal from his key Campaign Proposal to round up and deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the u. S. How do you do it in a practical way . At some point, were going to try getting them back, the good ones. 11 Million People in this country that came in illegally, they will go out. Reporter at a rally in texas, the billionaire did not back off from another Campaign Promise, that wall between the u. S. And mexico. We are going to build the wall. And whos going to pay for the wall . Mexico reporter trump planning to meet with latino and africanamerican activists on thursday as he also continues his pitch to minority voters. I say this to the africanamerican community, give donald trump a chance. We will turn it around. We will make your streets safe so when you walk down the street, you dont get shot. Reporter so donald trump repeating those same lines about inner city crime that have raised eyebrows. But his campaign pledging he will continue that outreach. Rnc chair Reince Priebus, in fact, saying yesterday trump wants to go after every minority vote in this country. Chris and alisyn . All right, jessica. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Lets discuss exactly what the implications of this clinton calendar situation is. We have Washington Post reporter philip rucker. National political reporter for real clear politics, rebecca berg. And cnn political commentator and columnist for the New York Times, charles blow. Charles, trump has a simple strategy. Make clinton look like a felon. We get why hes pushing this very hard. But when you look at the calendar and the overlaps of the dates, the Clinton Campaign says ap cherry picked its calendar information. If theyre even close in terms of showing the overlap, what does it do to the standard of semblance of impropriety . Any outward appearance of doing the wrong thing. I think the word there is the appearance, right. Thats the problem they have. The Trump Campaign is looking for appearance of something wrong. What the ap did was look at just the nongovernment meetings. Many of these people would have gotten meetings with the secretary of state anyway, right. One is like a bangladeshi, you know, Nobel Prize Winner. These are the kind of people, but they also donated to the Clinton Foundation. This is the problem, bigmoney donations are messy in america. Internationally, theyre even more messy. When you get when youre dealing with that universe of people, youre going to have that sort of problem. Donald trump was a was a big money donor to the Clinton Foundation, and they showed up at his wedding. This is the sort of thing that happens. What the problem becomes is hes going to press for 70 days this idea that theres some overlap thats inappropriate. This is what people worried about when clinton was going into this. Absolutely. Congress was worried about this. Rebecca, congress tried to set up these rules because they knew this would be a problem. They understood the incestuous nature of this. They tried to set up rules. In fact, senator luger said you should forego any foreign contributions. They didnt do that. But it wasnt illegal. Everything the ap found and the clinton camp is responding to, not illegal, but enough of an inappropriate feeling. Absolutely. When we were talking about the emails and Hillary Clintons private server, we were talking about an actual potential criminal investigation there that she might have violated the law. But this is just the perception of impropriety. Perception that she was letting her donors have an advantage over some others. Buying access. Thats what it feels like. Exactly. This is why when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, president obama and his administration urged her to create some sort of fire wall between the Clinton Foundation and whatever bill clinton was doing with the foundation and what she was doing as secretary of state. She decided not to. That was her decision and her aides decisions and their recommendation. Now shes paying the price politically potentially. Philip rucker, is being illegal the bar for whether or not something should be right for one of our leaders in government . Well, its all in the eye of the voters, of course politically. I think this is damaging for clinton. It speaks to the broader fear that people have of her, that the rules dont apply to her and donors have special access and she would be part of the status quo system in washington. Thats the argument that donald trump is trying to make with his new Campaign Team and really make the selection hinge on clintons character and judgment and ethics. They feel like if they can get on that issue base and not talk about these trump controversies, he might have a chance to turn this campaign around. An interesting coupling here. You have Hillary Clinton, who now you have a basket of examples of how the system works, right. Shes seen as an agent of the status quo. And shes running against a guy, donald trump, who uses that system as much as anybody so the question becomes is he the right change agent. Lets talk about donald trump and what happened last night. He was at a rally in austin. He admitted that he is maybe softening his stance on deportation, that all along for the past year everybody said was completely impractical, you werent going to be able to deport 11plus million undocumented workers. Now hes come around. Is that politically harmful or helpful . Theres a lie here and theres a big one. Either he was lying the entire campaign, the primary campaign when he was baiting the nationalists and tor hes lyingt softening his stance and what hes going to do when he takes office. One of these things is a lie, and its a huge lie. We have yet to figure out which one it is, what is the truth of it. Maybe we wont know that until after an election and god forbid, from my perspective, he is elected. But something there is not right. Im not sure that his if his base believes that he is softening, which is another way of saying waffling, which is another way of psaying completey going back on your promise, it could hurt. I think they give him a pass. The challenge for Hillary Clinton and her campaign, as donald trump begins to soften his language, even if hes not changing his stances in any sort of meaningful way, at least hes trying to sound more sensitive when it comes to the issue of immigration. The challenge for Hillary Clinton over the next two months will be reminding voters, undecided, persuadable voters that donald trump did hold these extreme positions on immigration for the length of this election to date. And she needs to make the point now that he is going to hold those views in the white house. But its very hard. As charles pointed out, he is in the process of flipflopping. It seems he doesnt have any strongly held views of his own on this issue, and its going wherever the political winds take him. Phil, this is the calculus for him on this. Somebody came to him and said, this position is killing you with the undecideds and the College Educated white republican voters. Its killing you, this issue. You cant get any minorities. You have to change. Now hes changing. So whats the plus minus in doing it . What hes trying to do is get rid of this label of him as a racist. The Associated Press poll in july found that 65 of all americans think that word applies to him in some way. Thats a real problem for donald trump, not only with minority voters but with a lot of white voters, especially white women who are right now turned off by his candidacy, and hes trying to soften his language to do this outreach to africanamericans and latinos as well to convince these people that hes a more compassionate person, that hes not a racist person and that he would be an inclusive president. So thats one piece. The other piece is this immigration policy. Hes softening his language a little bit, but hes not actually explained what this specific policy is and what he would do with the 11 Million People here in the country illegally. I think hes going to flesh that out in the next couple of weeks. Thats what his aides are telling me. But to this date, we do not have that specific policy. We do also want to talk about donald trump courting or his attempt to Court Minority voters. So stick around. Also, Hillary Clinton preparing to deliver a big speech linking donald trump to the controversial alt right. Thats the new term youll be hearing. Its the farright movement. What does this suggest about her republican rival . Well take a closer look at that also. What i love most about tempurpedic mattresses. Is that they contour to your body.
