Reporter usa today sports columnist said lochtes subsequent actions only made things worse. You pay the damages and apologize for being the ugly damages. Reporter lochte claim they were returning from a night of partying when they were robbed at gunpoint. He cocked and put it to my forehead.

Olympic swimmer left here in rio and his Attorney Says hell pay a 10,000 fine that will likely go to charity and leave the country today. Donald trump now says that some of his Campaign Rhetoric was a mistake. His statement to supporters last night was also a message to voters who were offended or hurt and it may indicate a change in approach. After bringing on a new Campaign Manager and ceo. Dean reynolds is in charlotte where he covered that trump rally. Dean, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, there was an unquestionably softer tone to Donald Trumps remarks here in charlotte last night. There were kind words for the victims of the louisiana floods who hell be visiting later on today. There was a promise never to lie to voters, and there was one more element to his remarks. It was almost startling. An expression of regret. In the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you dont choose the right words, or you say the wrong thing. I have done that. Reporter that statement maybe as close as donald trump has come to an apology. And i do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. Reporter a sharp contrast to earlier trump assertions ridiculing the religious faith of gold star parents who had criticized him. No, i dont regret anything. Reporter or after minimizing the heroism of p. O. W. John mccain. The new tone may reflect the shakeup in the Trump Campaign. Reading from a teleprompter to depart from verbal digression, truth styled himself as a truth teller as opposed to someone else. Has hillary ever apologized for lying about her illegally mail server and deleting 33,000 emails . Has she apologized for lying to the families who lost loved ones at benghazi . Reporter striking a notably more inclusive tone, trump made a direct appeal to africanamericans, who have long favored the democratic party. Look how bad things are going under decades of democratic leadership. What do you have to lose by trying something new . I will fix it. Watch. I will fix it. Reporter now, the Clinton Campaign was quick to dismiss the softer trump tone and his regrets. Quote, until he tells us which of as many offensive bullying and divisive comments he regrets. Anthony . Dean, thanks. Big changes would come to the Clinton Foundation if Hillary Clinton wins the white house. Former president bill clinton told Staff Members yesterday that he would resign from the board if she is elected and the foundation would no longer accept foreign or corporate donations. They make up more than half of the top 24 contributors. The 42nd president claims the decision is not due to outside pressure but questions over possible conflict of interest continue to follow the campaign. The Clinton Global Initiative holds its final meeting next month and an arm of the foundation with many corporate sponsors. Face the nation moderator and cbs news political director, that is john dickerson, he joins us from chicago. John, good morning. Lets start with donald trump. Definitely a change in tone. Is it a change in strategy too, do you think . And is this part of the Kellyanne Conway effect . Its certainly a change in tone. A very noticeable one and change in strategy. Like his other changes in tone and strategy in the campaign, the real question is how long will it last . And how much time do you think he has to turn things around, john, given the high negatives he now has, particular among women . The central question whether this is a change and whether it sustains long enough the people who have doubts about donald trump and his judgment and temperament in office, which is, right now, the thing that is controlling the movement in the polls. Hillary clinton has lots of weaknesses. But right now, voters are more worried about donald trump and his temperament and this change in tone is, obviously, an attempt to try to fix that, to suggest that the inner trump is Something Different than what people have come to believe about it. Does he have enough time . The clock is ticking. Early voting starts at the end of september and those doubts are set. Its always hard to undo doubts once they have been set in voters minds. Donald trump knows reality tv but his campaign has First Campaign ad and faced on immigration and crossing of the border. Is this something he really need and what do you think of the ad, itself . The ad is a wolf at the door and dark and dangerous world and Hillary Clinton will make it more so and donald trump will protect people. That message is really aimed towards his core base, the people who love donald trump and see the world as he does. His challenge really is to expand his base, to reach into different groups of voters, even traditional groups of Republican Voters that hes been losing. Does that message get across . Im not sure. I think its bigger hurdle is temperament and judgment question which cant be fixed with an ad. It also appears he is trying to look president ial with this visit to baton rouge to tour the louisiana flood zone, something that president obama has been criticized for not doing since he is still on vacation. I mean, does that contrast do anything for him . To the extent he has to overcome this can he inhabit the presidency and can people see him, the reality show person in the actual job of the presidency . To the extent his trip mimics that president s do visit ravaged areas and he exhibits that role individually that goes to some way to answer those questions but he has to do do that over a sustained period of time to try to help with those doubts that voters have. Before you go, john, any idea on exactly what he regrets . Because he didnt spell that out. No. I think he is not going to play that game, because that becomes a relitigation of all the things that he might regret and then exactly what did he regret about those things . It was a very vague statement. Politicians try to get the benefit of having saying they regret things but dont want to get into the nittygritty of it and i doubt that he he wants to either. John dickerson, thank you. See you on sunday morning on face the nation. I watch the show. Youll be sleeping a little late, is that it . No, i will be watching face the nation. John will be talking to republican senator Jeff Sessions from alabama plus the authors of a new book called trump revealed with Michael Kranish and marc fisher and they will also join us on sunday on cbs. Donald trump plans to visit the area devastated by historic flooding in louisiana. More than 86,000 people have registered with fema and 20 parishes declared disaster areas and more 4,000 people are staying in shelters. President obama is faced with criticism for not cutting short his vacation from Marthas Vineyard to visit the disaster zone. Manuel bojorquez is in louisiana. Reporter despite calls for president obama to come here to louisiana to this area and survey the damage for himself, he is unlikely to cut short his new england vacation to see all these floodwaters affecting communities like this one. He is getting some support in that regard from the governor of louisiana, as people here work to rebuild. We washed the floors and bleached the house. Reporter family and neighbors have been helping Janice Harold clean up. Her home was filled with flood water just days ago. Harold is an Insurance Agent so she had coverage for her house and belongings but said she could still use help from the government. I havent seen anybody. The federal government is here. We have been here. We will be here as long as it takes. Reporter Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson toured the area on thursday and said fema is working to help those in need and he also addressed questions about president obamas absence. So the president is closely monitoring the situation through his cabinet, through his fema administrator and is very much on top of it. Reporter on wednesday, a baton rouge newspaper published an editorial calling for the president to cut his vacation short, saying its time for president barack obama to visit the most anguished state in the union. The paper reminded reared of the criticism former president george w. Bush faced in 2005 when he flew over the aftermath of katrina but did not visit the region. Bush toured the region two days later. I am not complaining in any way about our federal partnership. Reporter Governor John Bel Edwards says he has been in constant touch with white house official and adding a president ial visit would require pulling police and First Responders from Recovery Efforts to provide security. I would just as soon he give us another week or two and then he can visit. Reporter fema administrator craig fugate visited louisiana on tuesday. They will send teams in shelters and communities like this one to assess the needs of flood victims and implement a longterm plan. Gayle . Thank you. Some victims of the devastating bluecut wildfire in Southern California are getting their first look at the widespread damage there. The fire in San Bernardino county is entering into its fourth day. It has burned nearly 36,000 acres and is now 22 contained. Carter evans is in phelan as the flames still threaten more than 42,000 buildings. Carter, good morning. Reporter this is one of the many homes devastated in the fire and the firefighters havent been able to get a full tally yet but some owners have returned to find their property reduced to ashes. Another night of worry for People Living near the hugely destructive blue cut fire which continues to grow, despite improved weather conditions in the efforts of nearly 1,600 firefighters and workers. Right now it seems like you guys got a pretty good handle on this, but the wind contains. In a very moments notice. Ive seen erratic fire behavior but the fire we saw on day one when we first arrived here was nothing less than amazing. Reporter and scary, too . Yeah. It was quite scary. Reporter for many living here, their greatest fears were realized as they realized their homes and businesses were caught in the fires path including a beloved restaurant which was built in 1952. This was the summit inn, an icon along historic route 66. Johnny wayne and Elvis Presley once dined where im standing. The fire destroyed it all. Cecil stevens and his wife owned the historic diner for 66 years. It broke my heart. Reporter just last month they sold it to katherine suarez. What did this place mean to you . It was my home. I was here more than my own own. Reporter not far away, this family discovered what was left of their home. The family patriarch was an immigrant. The farm survived but the house did not. We have been here for so long. For me, this is my father. So hard. Reporter and the irony here is that the chuns have an irrigation pond about 50 yards from here and during this entire fire, firefighting helicopters have been landing and drawing water from that pond to help save other homes. Margaret . Wow. Thank you, carter. The socalled zika zone in florida could be expanding. Cbs news learns of more local transmissions outside the designated area.
