This coming week is the 100th anniversary of our nations common ground. We will look at its past and its future. First, our top story this morning. On the heels of another staff shakeup, republican president ial candidate donald trump is facing a new backlash. This time for his attempt to get black voters to vote for him in the november election. At a Campaign Rally near lansing, michigan, on friday, trump asked what africanamericans have to lose by voting for him. Errol barnett is in washington with more on that. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Yes, it was supposed to be a day for a clean slate. But trumps latest attempted outreach to a larger voting block is already being called ignorant and heavyhanded by his critics. Look how much africanamerican communities have suffered under democratic control. To those, i say the following what do you have to lose . Sql reporter speaking from a predominantly suburb in michigan, a recent pugh survey says Hillary Clinton is favored over africanamericans. You are living in poverty and your schools are no good and you have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose . Reporter moments after the speech, Hillary Clinton responded with a tweet, quote, this is so ignorant, its staggering. The pitch came on the same day as the resignation of Trumps Campaign chairman, Paul Manafort manafort is currently involved in a scandal involving possible illegal payments from a prorussian Political Party in ukraine. He has to be interrogated. He has to be under investigation. Leschenko says off the book payments for manafort working for ukraines past president. This is up to the american judges and american judicial system. Reporter for clinton, her legal troubles are not over yet. On friday, u. S. District court judge granted a request by Judicial Watch that requires clinton to provide written answers under oath to questions related to her email scandal. Now get this.

Errol barnett in washington, thank you. Lets take a closer look at campaign 2016 and for that we are joined by philip bump, Political Columnist no the the Washington Post. Good morning. Good morning. Reporter lets talk about this. What do you make of Donald Trumps pitch to africanamerican voters . I think it is a very poor pitch. Donald trump is not doing well by voters. He is actually underperforming where mitt romney ended up in 2012 and amazing because romney was running against the first black president. The New York Times reported this week like his pitch itself was like this number about unemployment being over 50 . Its not an accurate number. There are all of these ways in which the things the way he presented the problem was inaccurate and not clear who he is actually trying to appeal to. Im curious. He didnt really go into a black community to give this speech. So its a peculiar kind of outreach and im trying to figure out what he actually hopes to get from it. Right. One theory is that he understands a part of his problem right now, the reason he is not doing well in the polls is Republican Voters are soft on supporting him. A fifth of republican men and a quarter of republican women in the most recent post abc news poll says trump has a problem. His own Republican Base that may be one strategy. Lets talk about Paul Manafort. What effect do you think his resignation is going to have on donald Trumps Campaign . Well, the immediate effect it had he had a speech on thursday which is the first time we have seen him give a president ial type speech and 12 hours later only thing people are talking about is the campaign in it hur mo turmoil. Donald trumps ties to russia he has been trying to escape sometime now and continues the sense that his campaign is constantly in turmoil. There was this week a sense there was a strategic shift of some kind. You wrote that 82 days away from election day, trump started running for president. What did you mean . I meant he started to seeing he was going to run a campaign and started buying tv ads which is normally done months ago. He gave this speech that seemed like a president ial speech. He brought on people who seem as though they understand how this whole process works, which he hasnt had to this point. The clock is ticking as you wrote. You know, even though the election is on november 8th, there are a lot of people who are casting their ballots before then. Is there enough time for him to turn things around . Its a great questionin a lo to turn things differently. We mentioned Hillary Clintons investigation, a judge has ordered her to answer questions but do you think she may not have to answer them until the election is over . The email challenge for Hillary Clinton has always been there is always new news in part she has the folks pushing on her and every time he comes into the news she has to answer the questions all over again. Philip bump from the Washington Post with, thank you. Tomorrow morning on face the nation on cbs, john dickersons guests include Jeff Sessions republican of laem and Michael Kranish and marc fisher, author of trump revealed.

That, officials will tell you, is not good for business. Health officials are more concerned about a tourist coming here to miami beach, contracting the virus and then taking it somewhere else.

There have been officials who have told us that there is a suspicion that your office is trying to downplay the zika threat. I want to make sure everybody in our state, everybody that is going to come here, you know exactly what is going on. Its very important. Reporter over the last two days, there has been some confusion in city hall at miami beach. The mayor Phillip Levine said this on thursday. Is there no epidemic. Is there no outbreak of zika on miami beach. Reporter on friday, he changed his tune, saying the governor finally gave him the new information and he was clear about his displeasure. We are not getting information from the governors office. Reporter the mayor is now vowing a rapid response. Between our efforts and the countys spraying efforts, the last thing i ever want to be on miami beach right now is a mosquito. Reporter ground spraying has already started in south beach. Mike palma is Vice President of hospitality at the iconic clevelander hotel. We need to go out and buy bug spray and do things that make it seem and deem safe and i have it available if people want it. People come here to relax and unplug and enjoy and i dont think they are too worried about zika at this point. Reporter within the next hour, crews are ground spraying yet again.

A teammate of olympic swimming champion ryan lochte is giving his take of what happened at that gas station a week ago and he seems to be blaming lochte. Jamie yuccas has more from rio de janeiro. Reporter good morning, anthony. I can tell you in order to clear up this international incident, it appears that gunnar bentz has released his own statement about what he says happened at the gas station. Bentz said he and his teammates went there to use the bathroom and when the bathroom was unavailable, they went to the bushes behind the gas station. That is when bentz said lockett kn tore down a metal sign attached to the gas station and bentz says that when the guards drew their guns and demanded money prosecute they were allowed to go. Bentz has apologized for the incident saying its taken away from the games and he sought to clarify his role. He writes, quote, number one with, i was never a suspect in the case from the beginning. Brazilian Law Enforcement officials only saw me as a witness. Number two, i never made a false statement to anyone at any time. Investigators say lochte and the other americans vandalized the gas station before those armed guards tried to stop them from leaving in a cab. Authorities were planning to charge lochte and teammate jimmy f feigen with causing a crime and feigen was only allowed to leave after paying 11,000 to a brazilian charity. On friday, ryan lochte wrote, quote. He stopped short of saying that he actually lied to police. Now the ioc is looking at takiig disciplinary action against the four swimmers and lochte may lose sponsorships and many here say he has not taken full responsibility for his actions. That part of the story has overshadowed the game the past few days but we still saw history made in rio last night, right . Reporter yeah. Its been fun to watch the games. Jamaican sprinter usain bolt made history. He anchored jamaica in the 4x100 meter relay and gold in that event and 100 and 200 meter in three straight Olympic Games and nine olympic races he won gold each time. No one has ever done that. In the same race the u. S. Men were disqualified for an illegal handoff and lost out on the bronze medal. That was disappointing. The team is appealing that decision, though. The United States women took gold in their 4x100 relay. Allyson felix the first to win three gold medals in track and field. Jennifer surr finished seventh. Team usa takes more gold out of the pool. The womens water polo squad defeated italy 125 to win their second straight gold medal. The american men and women are both one win away from gold medals in basketball. The mens team topped spain 8276. They are going to play serbia in tomorrows gold medal game. The american women, by the way, will play spain a little bit later today for that gold medal.
