And shes echoing his claim that the media is trying to derail his campaign. Meantime, trump talked to abc news about the allegations and hes still telling supporters abcs Stephanie Ramos has the latest for us from washington. Good morning, stephanie. Reporter kendis and diane, good morning. Youve got it, Melania Trump sitting down for the first time to talk about Donald Trumps sexually aggressive comments on that bus but shes not only talking about that, shes also talking about the election agreeing with her husband that it may be rigged. Melania trump hasnt said much throughout the Campaign Season but shes speaking out now about her husbands infamous hot mike moment. Unappropriate. Its not acceptable. Reporter melania speaking to cnn about trumps socalled locker room talk on that access hollywood bus. Im wondering when you first saw it, when you first heard it, what did you think . They were kind of a boy talk and he was lead on like egg on from the host to say dirty and bad stuff. When youre a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. Reporter in an interview set to air on Good Morning America donald trump says hes never crossed the line with women ever. I dont think so. I have Great Respect for women. I have tremendous respect for women. These people come up, maybe for a little fame or maybe for some other reason or maybe because theyre a part of the clinton campaign. Reporter the gop nominee insisting with no proof that theres a conspiracy to rig the election. People are coming in to vote and theyre not registered. People are coming in as illegal right to vote and coming in and voting. And youre not surprised to hear this. You see it all over the country but theres tremendous voter fraud, and we really want it stopped. It can make the difference between winning and losing in an election. Reporter meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is behind closed doors practicing for the final president ial debate. Her husband and daughter stepping in for her at this glitzy starstudded fundraiser in newor in 3 weeks after 240 years and 56 elections, the United States will have its first woman president. Reporter a new national cbs poll shows clinton with an 11point lead over trump a day before they face off on the debate stage for one last showdown. Kendis, diane. Those polls also showing that she has a lead in colorado where donald trump has several events today. Stephanie, thank you. Trump has been lashing out at House Speaker paul ryan since ryan said hed no longer during that interview conducted in his home state he took another swipe suggesting the speaker may want him to lose. I think he can be more supportive to the republican nominee. Were doing well. I think were going to win the election. Do you think he wants you to win . Well, maybe not because maybe he wants to run in four years. Or maybe he doesnt know how to win. Maybe he doesnt know how to win. I mean, who can really know . Trump also slammed other republicans who have pulled their support or even expressed confidence that the election will not be fixed. Happening right now it is recapture iraqs second largest city from isis and about 30,000 Iraqi Government troops and kurdish fighters are out on the outskirts of mosul. Progress is slow as theyre met by rockets and in some cases suicide bombers in trucks. Abcs Alex Marquardt joins us now from the phone from iraq. Alex, how is it looking right now . Reporter good morning, kendis. Good morning, diane. Well, youre absolutely right. There is progress but it is slow. Both american officials at the pentagon and Iraqi Military everything is going according to plan, but that the progress is slow. This is a battle, keep in mind, that was expected to take weeks or months and so the initial push towards mosul was to liberate villages in the plains around the city of mosul where we understand theres still around 1 Million People and we understand around 25 villages have now been liberated both between the Kurdish Forces who we have spent time with as well as the iraqi forces. The kurds now say that after the initial advance theyre going to dig in. Theyre going to hold back and let the bulk of the forces who are iraqi make that push, so what were hearing this morning is that a new push is under way but as you noted that can be slow, not just because of the suicide bombers that isis has sent forward, and they claim to have sent around a dozen of them to meet the incoming advance yesterday, but its also extremely slow because there are devices, all along the roads and in the fields, so its very complicated and its very slow going. Alex, i know youre at a refugee camp right now. Whats the situation like there . Reporter well, im in a refugee camp just outside of erbil where theres 30,000. Many of the people who we have spoken with have come from the villages and towns under isis control. We spoke with a man named hussein who is an english teacher. He was saying he and h people to kill in their village by isis because they did not support isis. Now, the u. N. Has warned that around a Million People could flee the fighting from mosul. So far we have not seen that happening yet. Keep in mind, the battle is barely 36 hours old. So in the coming weeks and possibly months there could be that fighting. The u. N. And other aid agencies warning this could be the biggest humanitarian crisis this year. The u. N. Officials who are speaking with now are certainly bracing themselves for it. We know that the emergency camps that have been set up by the u. N. And other agencies can only accommodate several hundred thousand, so theres still a great need, and theres a great fear, in fact, that that Million Dollar sorry that million person number could be reached. Abcs Alex Marquardt jo us from iraq where isis is not giving up easily. Thank you. Weve got some more breaking news from that region. Overnight russia announced it has stopped air strikes on the syrian city of aleppo. Just yesterday moscow promised an eighthour pause on thursday so the residents could leave the city.

The top performance was jana and gleb, told they were in jeopardy before they killed it with their sexy shower tango and got a winning perfect score 40 and did it clearly in a shower. Soaking wet.
