unfolding tragedy in europe at this hour. some relief. thousands of migrants crossing the border from hungary to austria, they were bussed there. major break through, austria along with germany agreed to allow the migrants entry on humanitarian grounds. the migrants mostly from the middle east traveled from turkish refugee camps through greece into hungary and hoping to reach western europe. since january more than 2500 have died trying to reach safety in europe. and kelly is monitoring this situation for us from our london bureau. what broke that deadlock with hungary? >> they were overwhelmed by the numbers is the short answer. the hungarian government was trying to contain all of these refugees within the train station on the train, outside of the main train station, and they simply were unable to do so. the refugees and migrants began to walk on a main highway between hungary and austria, the main highway to vienna. it became a safety issue. they sent 100 buss to this highway and to other places in budapest to pick ux some of these migrants, they now arrived on the austrian border about 4,000 have crossed into awe stree yaxt austrian police tell us they expect about 10,000 migrants to cross in by the end of the day today. >> it is extraordinary, this crisis here. but overall is there a plan, kelly, on behalf of europe to deal with this? >> well, i think european leaders are still quite destrided on how to deal with it. as a whole. there is talk of a quota system in bringing in refugees to all of the 28 countries in the european union. countries have varying policies on asylum, varying economies and strength and benefit systems, and this is part of the reason why so many want to go to germ me and also the uk. germany, the chancellor there, has said that all syrian refugees will be welcome in her country. she's not set a quota. she has called on other countries to set some sort of quota and take their fair share. the uk whose leaders have been fairly strict on this over the past several months have now relented a bit and agreed to take in thousands, but no specific numbers. so, everyone has their own policy, nothing is unified at this point. >> all right. i want to let viewers know i thank you that the picture we were showing you to the left that was a live look at the border there between hungary and austria where the migrants are doing their best to findp safety and sanctuary. we're going to have a live report from richard engel. he is at that border. we'll have a talk with richard later on this hour. over to politics. hillary clinton in new hampshire expected to get an important endorsement from u.s. senator jane shaheen. kicks off a two-week nish biff. her trip comes hours after a report claiming the clintons paid a state department staff tear maintain her personal e-mail server. an official says this is the same safer who told a congressional committee he would plead the fifth instead of testifying. clinton addressed the e-mail controversy in the exclusive interview with andrea mitchell. >> are you sorry? do you want to apologize to the person people for the choice you snad >> well, it wasn't the best choice and i certainly have said that, i will continue to say that as ialso said many times it was allowed and it was fully above board. the people in the government knew i was using a personal account. it would have been better had i had two separate accountings. >> in a few minutes andrea with the clinton responses. bernie sanders is standing by to fight for the working class. this picture taken by a "washington post" reporter shows sanders joining a picket line. and donald trump isn't backing down after a tense exchange over foreign policy with hugh hewitt. i'm joined by hallie jackson with a good morning to you. how is trump responding to all of this? >> donald trump responding to this like he responded to other controversies. defiantly and dismissively. donald trump, expert in dropping names. >> tom brady is a very good friend of mine. i went to the school of finance. >> kanye west. tripped up by a few and a -- ron's special forces. >> are you familiar with general s smulmani. he runs the qods forces. >> i think horribly mistreated by us. >> not the kurds. the irani forces. >> trump calling the questions got chas. i thought he said kurds, this radio announcy that did the show. like got you. every question was do i know this one and that one. like he worked hard on that. >> it's not the first time trump's response to national security questions has raised eyebrows. >> who do you talk to for military advice? >> i watch the shows. >> this time rivals are seizing the chance to question whether he is ready to be commander in chief. >> you got to have some sense of what's at risk here. >> for teflon don none seems to stick. >> a number of controversial things over the past few months and his poll numbers are much better among republicans so apparently when he says something that people of the media and other politicians think. controversial, the voters don't mind. >> trump says he'd be tough on some trading partners but open to certain adversaries. >> i think i'd get along well vladamir putin. >> he promises to delegate to experts if elected and get up to speed fast. >> i will be so good at the military your head will spin. >> now, the radio host involved in this has asked similar foreign policy questions of other candidates, alex, and he will come face to fails with donald trump in less than two weeks because hewitt is one of the questioners at the next gop debate. >> that's going to be interesting. thank you for that. for more on this let's bring in bob. how do you gauge the impact of the exchange on the campaign? is it easy to move past this one as we've seen with the other apparent missteps? >> you know, i think he is teflon don for now. i don't think it affects him because most americans don't know the difference. so overall i think that he's been able to turn it around on the question or turn it around on hugh hewitt. but will it last? if there is a series of these type of interviews and maybe it affects his poll numbers. he is trieding this wave. it doesn't matter whether he says john mccain is a war hero or not. >> two items worth noting from monmouth poll. it shows trump expands hi lead but interestingly in the head-to-head survey, you saw this, ben carson beats trump. that's by almost 20 points. interpret that. >> watch, been carson has been very steady, his numbers are very good as favorability. carson is a former neurosurgeon. trump went after him recently saying well, doctors don't create jobs. so he's a real threat to donald trump, and trump knows it and remember, the next debate carson is going to be there next to trump so watch that. i think you'll see a difficult ben carson, maybe a little more energy. >> could be but you know, has he maybe benefitted ben carson, by not being as well known to people? >> yes. people want to know about ben carson. when we write about him people read about him. his social numbers are impressive. they want to know who this guy is. his supporters are strojly behind him so. he wasn't taken seriously at the beginning amend now republicans are taking him very seriously. >> i want to mention carly fiorina. she has seven events over this weekend. it appears they will make the main stage debate. what does this mean for the dynamic on the stage? >> i think it's good for republicans that they are going to have a woman on the main stage. for carlie she is going to have to show she can compete. she did well in the happy hour debate. this is a whole new ball game. i'm interested in the trump fiorina. trump was asked about that and he said complementary things, did not go after her. i think that's a smart move. >> hillary clinton's interview with andrea mitchell, did it help her cause? >> i think it was a very good interview. andrea pressed her on the e-mail. i think it was helpful because she doesn't -- she was more conciliatory on the e-mail. i think it did help. she needs to do more of these interviews. >> can't always get andrea interviewing who is the best. it is what it is. thank you so much. kentucky started issuing same-sex marriage licenses. hear the reaction from a happy couple. our cloud can keep them d accessible anywhere. my drivers don't have time to fill out forms. tablets. keep it all digital. we're looking to double our deliveries. our fleet apps will find the fastest route. oh, and your boysenberry apple scones smell about done. ahh, you're good. i like to bake. add new business services with at&t and get up to $500 in total savings. when heartburn comes creeping up on you. fight back with relief so smooth and fast. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. tum-tum-tum-tum-tums smoothies, only from tums. you think your car smells fine, but your passengers smell this... eliminate odors you've gone noseblind to for up to 30 days with the febreze car vent clip break out the febreze, and [inhale/exhale mnemonic] breathe happy. i work on the cheerios team. and when i found out that my daughter-in-law, joyce, can't eat gluten, we found a way to remove the grains that contain gluten, from the naturally gluten free oats that cheerios are made of. rowan. rowan.wan. rowan. rowan.an. rowan. rowan.rowan. rowan.an. rowan.rowawanann do you like the passaaadd?

>> a big story for the east at least down through virginia, alex, the heat reprieve. you mentioned the humidity too. take a look. this is saturday over the northeastern quarter of the country. instead of being in the 90s, philadelphia, areas like new york city, upper 80s yesterday. 85 today in d.c., 82 degrees expected in new york city. and for sunday, mid 80s again, wore going to see the temperatures on the rise at least for labor day, maybe a touch of humidity back. but overall we've got real nice weather coming to us in time here for the labor day weekend. areas of the southeast not too bad. this reprieve from a weather front that's come through and the front stalling. so unfortunately for virginia beach, areas of the outer banks down through south carolina, there could be showers and thunderstorms coming through for saturday, for stunned maybe even monday. so that's the touch and go area right now. even florida could see some scattered showers and thunderstorms. take a look at areas around new orleans, on monday the temperatures build back into the mid 90s. we're not done with the heat for the summer just yet. >> okay, thank you so much. we'll see you later. let's have more politics now. hillary clinton says she is sorry not for using the controversial private e-mail server during her tenure as secretary of state, rather for the confusion it has caused the american public. yesterday clinton sat down with andrea mitchell. >> are you sorry, do you want to apologize to the american people for the choice you made? >> well, it wasn't the best choice and i certainly have said that, i will continue to say that as i've also said many times it was allowed and it was fully above board, the people in the government knew that i was using a personal account. but it would have been better if i had two separate accounts to begin with. >> i was not thinking a lot when i got in. there was so much work to be done. we had so many problems around the world. i didn't really stop and think what kind of e-mail system will there be. >> dutz it raise judgment questions? >> i don't think so. i think the facts are pretty clear we had a lot of hard work, hard choices to make in those four years and i'm very proud of the work we did. i'm proud of all of the people that i worked with, i think we really served our country well. and now the state department has everything that they could have. so at the end of the day i am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions but there are answers to all of these questions. >> joining me now is andrea mitchell. anchor of msnbc's "andrea mitchell reports." good morning to you. excellent interview. i'm sure you heard many times over. you focused a lot on the e-mail. do you feel like she clarified anything and how has her tone on it developed? >> well, her tone was very different. i think you noticed since you follow this also closely, that she was not defensive, not aggressive, she answered the questions and she was -- she didn't apologize, that's clear but said she was sorry about the choice she made. a couple of times said it was not a good choice. so she came closer to the edge of saying that, well, she said she wished she hadn't done it. she didn't explain quite why she did it because again she indicated it was a matter of convenience but it was clear from the recent e-mail release monday that it was hardly convenien convenient. there was confusion it didn't always work. it was not the most convenient thing so. clearly there were issues of privacy that were involved. but she wasn't prepared to acknowledge that. i think they do want to reset the campaign and try to get out from under this. as much as they can given the fact there is a continuing fbi investigation. >> right. based on that last angle you were saying there, something we played in the sound bite that jumped out at me her argument there was so much going on in the world she couldn't have had time to think about what type of e-mail to yooxt obviously someone put considerable thought into this so does that defense really hold water? >> well, it's hard to say because she was basically continuing to same system she used as a senator. and what i said to her now you're in the national security cabinet. doesn't that make a difference. her point is she handled classified information, she says, in a different way. verbally, within a secure environment and that she says that there was no intentional exchange of classified information on this, on this private system. that's still very much in dispute as you know. a lot of arguments about that and only yesterday when we were sitting down her very close adviser jake sullivan who had been her deputy chief of staff at the state department, was testifying for seven hours before the benghazi select committee. again, that committee of, house republican led, is controversial, adam schiff, a key member, a democrat from california had an op-ed saying the committee politicized itself. she will have her opportunity on october 22 to testify to the committee. she is insisting on doing it in public so they can't selectively leak what she did or did not say. so far this week alone jake sullivan testified and of course cheryl mills, former chief of staff, testified and still to come next week is bryan pagliano, the young man who set up the system is going to he says through his lawyer, take the fifth amendment. and not answer questions. >> did she have comment on that, the fact he is going to take the fifth? >> she has said the campaign has said, i should say, they tried to talk him out of that. but that is his legal right. so clearly he no longer works for her and by the way, "the washington post" reports that he was paid privately by the clintons for maintaining that server in addition he was receiving from the state department. >> i thif there was a sum of $5,000 at one point. any conventional wisdom my bryan pagliano is taking the fifth? >> we don't know what else might be out there or why. he has every right to do that but clearly this is not a good image for the campaign. he no longer works for hillary clinton. and had been replaced actually after he left the state department so he hasn't work forward her for a number of years. that's not what they want out there. but there is nothing they can do to avoid it. now she's -- she said she's going to do, they said she is going to do more interviews. this was the first in a long time. only the third since she announced for the presidency. and i think they are going to have a much more public outreach because what they were doing in the midst of this e-mail controversy wasn't working to contain it politically. >> yours was a long interview. i was speaking with your executive producer. i do want to ask you about her perception among voters. play a little from that. >> but the first words that came to mind when asked about you were liar, untrustworthy, crooked. how does that make you feel? >> well, certainly doesn't make me feel good, but i am very confident that by the time this campaign has run its course, people will know that what i've been saying is accurate and i will have a chance to do that in front of the entire world with the congressional committee hearing. they may disagree as i now disagree with the choice that i made but the facts that i have put forth have remained the same. >> andrea, you get the sense the campaign is actively trying to make changes? >> yes. indeed. and she points out, the campaign points out, that was a quinnipiac poll as i said in the way i set it up, which was republicans and democrats. so they believe that poll does not accurately reflect what they are experiencing on the campaign among potential democratic voters. that was a very negative poll. she has taken some hits here. but she also carried all of the past attacks and the controversies and the investigations involving the clintons so she has very long biography for them to deal with, what they hope they can do is show also that she has the experience. and by the way, this was done on the anniversary of the 20th anniversary today, when i went to beijing to cover her speech as first lady where she made her first major human rights or women's rights, and human rights are women's rights speech. it was 20 years ago. it was very controversial at the time. the chinese were furious. they hope they can talk about her foreign policy experience and what she would do for the economy. >> i was watching slips of that beijing speech. i think it was just hair styles that changed. it's all good. >> not i. >> you do. thank you so much, andrea mitchell. and for all of you we want to remind you to watch andrea's show at noon eastern here on msnbc. where do prices stand for gas this weekend?
