On the trip of a lifetime posting selfies on the beach, in the jungle and on the water but police now say they were smuggling cocaine the entire time. Anthony weiner under fire. Child services now investigating after he sent that lewd selfie showing his 4yearold son in the background. The estranged husband of Hillary Clintons top aide in trouble. Could he lose custody of their son . Good morning, america. A little rain on the lens there this thursday morning. And boy, what a day for donald trump yesterday. There you see the diplomat shaking hands with the mexican president , calling him a friend, praising his country. No talk about mexico paying for that wall until last night there in arizona. Quite a different tone. He fired up the crowd with those familiar lines and were going to get into all that this morning and hear from Hillary Clintons running mate tim kaine live. But first, george, we want to get to that hurricane warning for florida. The weather set to ruin the Holiday Weekend up and down the east coast as Tropical Storm hermine strengthens. It could become the first hurricane to make landfall in florida in more than a decade. The state already facing flooding and ginger is here tracking all the latest for us. What a radar picture there, ginger. Exactly. The satellite this morning, Tropical Storm hermine escalated quickly. Just talking about it as a tropical depression but now maximum sustained winds of 60 plus miles an hour, its strengthening and will speed up toward the north and east. Hurricane watch down to just north of tampa. The main threat here, of course, heavy rain, five to ten inches. Some places could get locally 15 inches. The timing is tonight, overnight tonight into early friday. Then it sticks with us. This is what i want you to watch. Through South Carolina up to the east coast, the impacts could be through our Holiday Weekend. The storm surge, the rain and thats why we have our rob marciano right there in tampa this morning. Rob. Ginger, the center about hermine about 200 miles that way. The question is, how strong will it be. In the past 24 hours western has been chaotic. All of western florida really getting hampermered by the outer bands. This morning, Tropical Storm hermine accelerating towards the florida coast. The outer bands already flooding the Sunshine State making some roadways impassable. Still about 4 1 2 inches of water inside the house. Reporter over 9 inches of rain falling in pinellas county. Families trying desperately to stop the water from overtaking these apartments in largo. Its ridiculous. It came through the ceiling. Reporter at least seven from one family narrowly escaping after this tree fell on their home. Theres a tree like in every room of the house. Reporter its all handson deck at the sandbagging depot. This is the only solution, got to stop the water . What else can i do . Reporter coastal residents have been evacuated and schools and colleges closed today and tomorrow. Not raining now. But the ground is certainly saturated. More rain and wind coming and storm surge as the wind picks up. And tampa certainly susceptible to that. The waters will rise potentially as a hurricane. More than 4,000 days since a hurricane hit this state. Another area that has had a hurricanefree streak is hawaii but they got slammed with Tropical Storm madeline and abcs Neal Karlinsky is there right now. Neal. Reporter rob, good morning. Thats right. The surf here is still rough but they feel like theyve dodged a bullet on this one. You can see the waves come in, but madeline seems to be passing through as a rough Tropical Storm and not the hurricane they feared but over the last 12 hours the rains has been at times torrential coming down sideways. As a result many roads have been flooded. There have been occasional Power Outages as well, schools throughout the big island here have been shut down. The port closed. But they do feel like they have weathered the worst of it and theyll get a true sense of things over the next several hours when the sun comes up, ginger. Neal, madeline gone but, of course, lester on the way so i wanted to showcase the timing here. Once the big island is now on Tropical Storm warning that is now for lester which is going to come through the weekend and other islands for hawaii have to brace for some impact. If not just that high surf and rip currents. A lot are there through the Holiday Weekend. George. Thank you, ginger. The race for the white house and Donald Trumps immigration twostep fiery speech in arizona last night hours after his more statesmanlike trip to meet with the mexican president , gaining ground on Hillary Clinton in some National Polls and jon karl has the latest in mexico city. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. If you were expecting donald trump to soften his position on immigration, you would have been dead wrong. After sounding diplomatic here in mexico he went on to present as hard a line on the issue as he ever has. You can call it whatever the hell you want, theyre gone. Reporter no more waffling, donald trump is once again saying everyone who came into this country illegally may be forced out. Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation. There will be no amnesty. Reporter once again, he talked about creating a deportation force. He even joked about deporting his opponent. I am going to create a new special Deportation Task force focused on identifying and quickly removing the most dangerous criminal Illegal Immigrants in america who have evaded justice, just like Hillary Clinton has evaded justice, okay. Reporter and trump made it clear where he stands on one of the central promises of his campaign. Mexico will pay for the wall. Remember. Reporter it was a far cry from what we saw from trump earlier in the day when he made a surprise trip to mexico city and stood side by side with mexicos president enrique pena nieto. Its been a tremendous honor and i call you a friend, thank you. Reporter what about that sticky issue of paying for the wall. And the wall, is it a nonstarter . Is there any chance mexico pays for the wall . We did discuss the wall. We didnt discuss payment of the wall. That will be for a later date. This was a very preliminary meeting. Reporter here in mexico city, trump was measured and downright diplomatic. He even praised mexican immigrants. Spectacular, spectacular hardworking people. Reporter but just five hours later, a different donald trump. Zero tolerance for criminal aliens, zero, zero. Reporter a few hours after their meeting and after trump left mexico, mexicos president came out and said that he told trump directly that theres no way mexico will pay for the wall. But, george, i asked mexicos president about that at their joint press conference. He said nothing and he didnt disagree with him saying the issue didnt come up in their meeting. And he is facing a backlash in mexico over that. Meanwhile, donald trump back on twitter again overnight and this morning talking about mexico. Also talking about Hillary Clinton and hitting her a bit for her not going to mexico. Reporter Hillary Clinton didnt go to louisiana or mexico she doesnt have the drive or stamina to make America Great again. The Clinton Campaign is brushing this off saying you dont do away with a years worth of insults by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. More now on Hillary Clinton and her Campaign CallingDonald Trumps speech in arizona his darkest yet. As clinton bashes trump for his trip to mexico saying it takes more than a photoop to build relationships, her running mate tim kaine is standing by, but first Abcs Cecilia Vega is on the campaign trail in columbus, ohio, with all the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter good morning, amy, youre right. Hillary clinton is not holding back overnight, she tweeted donald trump just failed his first foreign test. Diplomacy isnt as easy as it looks. Hillary clintons response to Donald Trumps big trip to mexico its more than a photoop. It takes consistency and reliability. Reporter clinton unleashing on him in ohio. It certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again. That is not how it works. Reporter and going after trump with this video on twitter. Ill use the word anchor baby. This is a country where we speak english. Reporter her supporters pouncing too. It reminded hispanics about how much resentment and fear and hostility hes created in this country over the past year. Reporter her Campaign Chairman saying trump didnt just choke, he got beat in the room and lied about it. Writing, he doesnt have the courage to advocate for his Campaign Promises when hes not in front of a friendly crowd. Clinton back out on the campaign trail after a lucrative trip in the posh hamptons, where she raised more than 12 million. At parties filled with superstars like bon jovi and paul mccartney. And now, shes about to get an assist from some political powerhouses. President obama will be out campaigning for her at least a dozen times before election day in battleground states and Vice President joe biden will be out there, too, twice a week starting today in ohio. Okay cecilia, thanks. Lets hear now from her political partner, senator tim kaine. Senator kaine, thanks for joining us again. You bet, george. Lets start out with Donald Trumps day. We heard those comments from john podesta, the Campaign Chair for Hillary Clinton, but didnt donald trump gain some stature by appearing side by side with the mexican president . You know, george, i dont think so. I think it was kind of a diplomatic embarrassment. Well get to his speech later but hes been talking for a year about were going to build a wall and mexico will pay for it and he sits down and goes eyeball to eyeball with the president of mexico and what he forgets suddenly to bring it up, or hes too afraid to bring it up, or he chokes in the meeting, its just kind of an indication that the guy talks out of both sides of his mouth and when he is given an opportunity to address his the central rationale of his entire campaign he doesnt do it. And thats not the kind of strength you need in somebody who is going to be conducting bilateral discussions with the leaders of any nation. You say hes talking out of both sides of his mouth. Yesterday, the Republican Party put out a video talking about Hillary Clintons flipflops on immigration. Lets take a look. Hillary clinton is pandering for political gain. Hypocrisy at its worst. Hillary clinton, you just cant trust her. And over the years she has moved towards more liberal positions on issues like the wall, on deportation, on benefits for undocumented immigrants. You know, george, thats not the way i look at it. There was an Immigration Reform effort done when hillary was a senator in 2006 when george bush was president. She was a strong supporter of comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2006. You remember that came up in the primaries as a key point of difference between her and Bernie Sanders and, as ive campaigned all across the country, especially in the latino community, they understand that hillary has been trying to do comprehensive Immigration Reform for many years. This is not a new thing for her. There is a consistency to her position. And thats why she said, look, in the first 100 days we need to 30 years after the last reform, you know, build a comprehensive package that includes basically support for dreamers and include support for employers and a path for hardworking people to earn the ability to stay here as citizens over many years and also border security. Those are the key pillars of the plan keeping families together, its very different from the division and deportation nation strategy of donald trump. Meanwhile, trump appears to be closing the gap in some of these National Polls tightening. In our new poll shows secretary clinton is now as unpopular as donald trump. You see her at 59 unfavorable. Hes at 60 unfavorable. How do you explain that and how do you fix it . Well, look, this is going to be a tough race and i didnt have any illusions about it and Hillary Clinton doesnt either. We have felt from the beginning that this would be tough. We going into the convention it was pretty much a dead heat seen since both conventions but it was pretty much a dead heat and we like what weve seen since both conventions but its not a big lead and that means weve got to make our case every day. Hillary, while donald was doing his highprofile talking messages on the border, she was at the American Legion in ohio talking about americas role in the world to that important Veterans Organization and were going to have to make our case about the economy that works for everybody and that were stronger as a nation if we build alliances rather than tear up alliances and build walls. Finally, on a different subject, Colin Kaepernick, who has been having that protest, refusing to stand for the national anthem, expected to do it again tonight at a game thats supposed to be honoring military veterans as well. Youre the father of a marine. What is your reaction to Colin Kaepernick . You know, i you got to respect peoples ability to act according to their conscience. I mean, id do it differently. I think if you really thought about issues, and about this country, youd do it differently and when i heard him explain his rationale. It didnt really make that much sense to me but you have to respect people so i wouldnt presume to tell him what to do. Senator kaine, thanks for joining us this morning. All right, thanks, george. Amy. Now to a major breakthrough in the battle against alzheimers. A new drug that appears to clear the brain of toxic plaque buildup could slow the progression of the disease and give much needed hope to patients. Our senior medical contributor dr. Jen ashton joins us with more. Explain just how this drug does what its said to do. This is a type of immune therapy that goes on a seek and destroy mission to those amyloid plaques, those tangles in the brain that interfere with brain function. Let me show you what i mean. Take a look at this scan. Im going to walk you through it. If you look at the top. P. E. T. Scans of patients with alzheimers. The left column is baseline, the right column is one year later, the red plaques represent the amyloid. Increasing doses of this medication, you see the red disappears or dramatically goes down. Here are the caveats with the study now. Its small. We need much bigger numbers. It was funded by the drugmaker which is pretty common practice, and most interestingly, there is controversy in the field of neurology, not every expert is convinced that these amyloid plaques are the main culprit in alzheimers but cautious optimism. Yeah, and certainly those images studying how soon could this be available . A couple years and come from a hefty price tag and it could cost patients thousands of dollars a year. Thank you. Thanks. We move on now to a new lead in the jogging murder mystery in new york. The nypd has released a sketch of this man. Officials believe he could be a witness and could help them find the killer of karina vetrano. Abcs eva pilgrim has the latest. Reporter this morning, police releasing this sketch of a man they believe may help them find the killer of 30yearold new york jogger karina vetrano. Karina went for a run on this familiar path in howard beach on august 2nd but never came home. Her father eventually finding her body. We need to find this predator. Reporter police now releasing this sketch of a man spotted in the area by utility worker the day karina died. Investigators dont think hes the killer. Despite a 300,000 reward, multiple deadends so far no arrests. Officials hoping the possible witness and dna evidence found at the scene can give them some answers. We also have touched dna from her neck and as you know she was strangled and we also have dna from her fingernails, probably the strongest, we have from the same person. It is wrong to kill an innocent young woman. Reporter this morning, karinas family left with pictures and memories has a message for the person who took their loving daughter away. The world is against him. Im coming for him. Reporter police say the man that theyre looking to talk to should have stood out to anyone who saw him in this area that day. He was wearing a dark wool cap on what would have been a warm august day. Amy. We hope they get answers soon. Eva pilgrim, thank you. And now to a frightening headline about your smartphones.
