Coming to the rescue when an unruly passenger attacks a crew member. Sit down. Sit down. Enough. You dont put your hands on my Flight Attendant. How he took control and stopped what could have been a dangerous confrontation. We do say good morning, thank you. New polls showing Hillary Clinton surging as donald trump battles attacks from both sides of the aisle over his comments about that military family. Yeah, continued through the day yesterday. We have an exclusive with miss teen usa. Karlie hay is here live taking on the controversy about those offensive tweets. Severe weather on move, missouri roads underwater and you see missouri right there. Alerts from las vegas to st. Louis and ginger, of course, is tracking it all. Isolated storms you get 6, 8 inches very quickly. Ocean city, maryland, the picture behind me and that picture out of missouri, east of kansas city and now that line has moved to the east. There are warnings this morning, 4 inches plus have fallen west of st. Louis. Watching there, also in the southwest with that monsoon flow, 3 plus inches falls in hours and you got trouble, 90 development for this. It would be earl if it got through mexico. I know youre keeping an eye on it. That unprecedented warning about the zika virus. The cdc advising pregnant women to avoid a popular neighborhood in miami. So far at least 14 cases have been transmitted by infected mosquitoes in that area. There have been more than 1,600 travelrelated cases across the country. And more than 400 pregnant women have been infected. Abcs dr. Richard besser is in miami, has the latest for us. That zika is continuing to spread in this neighborhood, Public Health has done something theyve never done before telling some people to stay away but with all the travel people are doing, they dont believe this will be the last time that happens. Here in this florida neighborhood, just one square mile north of downtown miami, 14 cases of zika have been transmitted by local mosquitoes and the cdc has this warning for pregnant women. Stay away. Apparently the first t issued such a warning in the continental u. S. Ever. We believe theres still individuals that are at risk in that onemile square radius. Reporter so Health Officials are testing thousands of residents here in the wynnewood arts district, one of the busiest neighborhoods in the city spraying for mosquito, delivering zika prevention kits, bedding nets and treatments for standing water. Just doing a neighborhood sweep to make sure theres no mosquito breeding. Testing. Health officials are expecting more cases will arise. The virus most dangerous for pregnant women. Have you taken any steps around your home to cut down on mosquitoes . Patio furniture, everything inside. Because if it rains and you have your chair, you know, sitting up, it can have standing water. Just making sure none of my plants have water thats just been sitting there. One of the big worries here that the mosquito appears resistant to the pesticides theyre using and will make control efforts difficult. Whats surprised me talking to people here, all the concerns from Public Health, people seem to be going about their lives and dont seem to be changing behavior. Robin. All right, dr. Besser, thank you. Joining us now with more is the director of the cdc, dr. Tom frieden. Dr. Frieden, thank you for your time this morning and this is so alarming to a lot of people because it is a fairly small first travel advisory in the continental u. S. Since polio which has raised a lot of eyebrows and people want to know do you feel that youre going to have to increase the area . Only time will tell, robin. This is really a new phenomenon. Weve never seen a mosquitoborne illness that could cause a birth defect and right now there is this very specific area north of downtown miami where zika is spreading in that community so were advising preg w and pregnant women who have to live or work there to do Everything Possible to prevent mosquito bites. Four cases were announced on friday and then ten more on monday and some are saying why wasnt an advisory issued earlier . What we realized over the weekend was that the mosquito counts were not coming down as we had liked so we havent achieved good Mosquito Control in that area. And we now have our top experts on the ground working with the knock down this very difficult to control mosquito. I know you said that Mosquito Control there in miami has not worked as you had hoped. Why not . Well, there are three different possibilities. First, it could be that the mosquitoes there are resistant to the insecticides being used. Unfortunately, theres no quick test for that and can take a week or three or four weeks to figure that out for sure. Second, it may be there are breeding sites that havent been eliminated. Standing water wre continue to be churned out and, third, it is also the case that this is a really tough mosquito to control. This is an unusual neighborhood or an emerging neighborhood. Its mixed use. It has industrial, business and residential and that makes Mosquito Control very econocomp. No treatment, no vaccine as of right now and the consequences could be quite dire so this is something that people really need to take seriously. It is and its not just about mosquito is present, 30 state, generally in the south of the u. S. , women who are pregnant really need to do everything they can to protect themselves from mosquito bites and thats difficult putting on deet multiple times on exposed skin, wearing long sleeves and long pant, staying indoors, all these things reduce the risk of mosquito bites. We cant hear them enough. Dr. Frieden, thank you ver we havent had a travel advisory in the continental u. S. Since polio. We move on to the race for the white house.

Horrible things were said about me. Tough so all i did is respond and i will always respond. Reporter as trump fighting with that gold star family the New York Times has a front page investigation looking into the numerous deferments, draft deferments during the vietnam war by donald trump, mostly for education but one of them for bone spurs in his heels. Now, this came at a time when trump was a very active athlete and had just picked up the game of golf, trump has said that condition has since healed and he has acknowledged some guilt for n george. Okay, tom, thanks. Lets talk to our little analysts matthew dowd and jon karl. Jon, let me begin with you and that the New York Times account. One of the things trump has said many times in the past that he received deferments and was ultimately kept out of the draft by a high lottery number. The New York Times calls that account into question. It sure does, george. Trump has said that he had a phenomenal draft number and thats why ultimately he was kept out of the war. But this New York Times that last one for those bone spurs, according to the times would have made it virtually impossible for him to get drafted. Okay and, matt, we now have a series of polls showing Hillary Clintons bounce coming out of this convention and a lead in the six to eightpoint range. Yeah, you know, weve saw we saw donald trump get a slight bump but Hillary Clinton got a bigger bump. It has less to do with the convention than the controversy that he should worry less about the bone spurs and more about shooting himself in the foot over and over and over again. Put on your political consultant hat. Youve worked for both democrats and republicans. If donald trump called you in what would you tell him to do to fix this. The first thing i would say is dont be yourself but that would be i think difficult in the course of this. He has to get some level of discipline and quit reacting to people. He has to get on his message and quit reacting to every Single Person that he seems to get some level of slight in the course of its not that hes losing votes hes capping himself at a level he cant win at so in order to win hes got to get disciplined and stay on message. Jon, we saw him last night talking about the prospect of a rigged election. Yeah, this is something else. He said this before. After the 2012 election, he had a series of tweets that he said that this was clearly the result of a rigged election, romneys loss, but hes setting up the possibility of if he loses, cheated. Okay. Jon karl, matthew dowd, thank you very much. All right, george, we move on to new questions about the deadly hot air balloon crash in u. S. His that that killed 16 people.

A former girlfriend said he was a recovering alcoholic. Balloon pilots are not required certificate to fly. But they are expected to selfreport convictions. Safety Officials Say thats not enough. Should they be held to a different standard than somebody who is flying an airplane for hire on air tour operations or helicopters, so, so we do see this discontinuity. Reporter investigators say evidence suggests after flying above the clouds and fog the pilot was trying to land when the gondola hit and then ran bursting into flames and fallen about ten stories to the ground saturday killing all 16 on board.
