As we come on the air, Donald Trumps sudden and highprofile trip to mexico is shaking up the race for the white house. Tonight, this image, a handshake with mexicos president after trump now calling mexicanamericans spectacular and beyond reproach. That meeting giving the republican candidate to appear as a statesman. As for the border wall, trump says they talked about it. Jon karl is in mexico tonight. Reporter he has spent a mexico, but today donald trump ditched the tough talk. This has been a tremendous honor and i call you a friend. Reporter a huge departure from day one of his campaign. They are not our friend, believe me. Reporter accusing mexico of funneling undocumented immigrants across the border. When mexico sends its people, they arent sending their best. They are bringing drugs, theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. Reporter today, i asked trump if he stands by those words. Mr. Trump, over the course of this campaign, do you regret some of the things that you have said about mexico or mexicans and want to take them back . A lot o be strong. We have to say what is happening. There is crime, as you know, there is a lot of crime and there are lot of problems. I really believe that the president and i will solve those problems. Reporter and what of trumps Signature Campaign promise . Build that wall build that wall build that wall reporter we all know who trump wants to foot the bill. And who is going to pay for that wall . 100 . Reporter today i asked both men about that. And the wall . Is it a nonstarter . Is there any chance mexico pays for the wall . We did discuss the wall, we did not discuss payment of the wall. Thatll be for a later date. This was a very preliminary meeting. Reporter president Enrique Pena Nieto extended the invitation to trump and Hillary Clinton just last friday. Trumps decision, a total surprise. When we touched down, his schedule was still up in the air. Its been a whirlwind. We didnt kn midnight last night that donald trump would bring the president ial campaign here to mexico city. Trumps harsh words have made him a pariah here in mexico. Over the past year, protesters have burned him in effigy. Trump pinatas doing brisk business. Pena nieto himself has compared trump to hitler and mussolini. But today, he softpedaled, too. Emphasizing that mexico will cooperate with whomever wins the election. The bond between our two countries is deep and sincere. Trump under fire for waffling on his pledge to deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the u. S. There certainly could be a softening. We arent looking to hurt people. Reporter he promises to clear it all up tonight at a speech in arizona. Trump supporters we spoke with there were hoping he would stick it to the mexican president today. Im hoping hes going to tell them were gonna build a wall, youre going to pay for it, you might as well bring your people back and get em busy. Reporter but here in mexico, trump certainly did not do that. Real gamble for trump. Reporter it was a big gamble for trump. He could have faced mass protests, mexicos president could have hammered him. But this was a gamble that paid off. Trumps first meeting with a world leader, and he seemed able to play the part. Thank you. Described trumps trip as a photo op. Cecilia vega is with the campaign in cincinnati. Reporter Hillary Clinton didnt mention Donald Trumps name, or even the country he was visiting. What she did say he is not a leader. Its more than a photo op. It takes consistency and reliability. And 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 she also fired off this video, using trumps own words against him, including his attack on a mexicanamerican judge. Were building a wall hes a mexican. Reporter this is only clintons fourth public appearance in two weeks. Trump, clocking in more than three times that. And shes still not taking mexico, madam secretary . In recent days, clinton has instead been in the posh hamptons, where she raised more than 12 million with alist celebrities like bon jovi and paul mccartney. . But with just 69 days to go, there is trouble on the horizon. A new abc poll shows clinton more unpopular than ever. 59 of voters have an unfavorable view of her, on par with trump. And cecilia, Hillary Clinton is about to get a big assist from the white house . Reporter president obama will be out with her a dozen times between now and election day. Biden will be out twice a week, starting right here in ohio. And we do move on to florida people to get ready. In the gulf, heavy rain and flash flooding already battering the coast.

Are they ready for this one . Reporter trouble in paradise tonight. Hawaii under a state of emergency.

I just got some flashlights, batteries, some candles and some first aid stuff. Reporter just in case. Just in case. Reporter all of the big islands schools are closed. The port, shuttered. Madelines leading edge has already brough waves and intermittent torrential bursts of rain. We got rocks over the road, some houses flooded out, i dont know whats going to happen.

Its upsetting to watch them stare out the window, because they cant go outside. Reporter shantel allen, whos lived here for six years, says all five of her children have tested positive for lead. They experience headaches, they experience stomach cramping, they vomit. Reporter this housing complex, home to 1,100 people, has long been known to be contaminated. It was built in 1972, on land that was once a lead smelting plant. Documents show epa investigators found hazardous levels of lead in some areas in 2008. At the time, officials performed some cleanup, but new test results revealed in may that chemical levels on the surface of the soil here were up to 30 times the limit considered safe. The city is now planning to demolish the community. If they knew that it was dangerous, we should have known a long time ago. Families find new housing, but more is needed to help .
