They wave to each other from across the r this morning on world news now, its being called an attack on our democracy. Both campaigns reacting to the fire bombing of a Republican Party office in North Carolina. The vandals spray painting hateful messages and threats on the walls.

Iraqi forces move into mosul after days of building up on the outskirts of the second largest city. Were on the front lines. In florida, a vehicle flies careens off the highway in a fiery crash. Anxious onlookers shouting as others race against the flames to rescue the victims from the smoldering wreckage. Then the race for the white house runs right through the philadelphia suburbs. Its a mustwin area for both candidates. We talk to voters there on this monday morning, october 17th. From abc news, this is worlds news now. A good monday morning to you all. We begin with reaction to the fire bomb that ripped through a local Republican Office in North Carolina. Donald trump blames Hillary Clinton and democrats tweeting the office was targeted, quoting here, because were winning. Police say the bottle, filled with flammable liquid, was thrown through the office, which is located near durham. All of this happening saturday night damaging the interior of the building along with furniture and Trump Campaign signs. A warning for republicans to get out of town was sprawled on a nearby building. This is a horrific, horrific act of political terrorism. One that we will not succumb to, and one that we will answer. Hillary clinton also called the fire bombing horrific and unacceptable and North Carolinas governor described it as an attack on our democracy. So as the campaign heads into the final three week stretch, donald trump is sharpening his attacks while fending off more Sexual Assault allegations. A Washington Post poll shows the race close with Hillary Clinton four points ahead of trump, still within the margin of error. With the third and final debate two days away, trump calls the election rigged and hes levying a wild allegation against Hillary Clinton. Its your voice, your vote, heres abcs mary bruce. Reporter donald trump is lashing out, saying the election cant be trusted. The election is being rigged by corrupt media pushing false allegations and outright lies in an effort to elect Hillary Clinton president.

Even suggesting saturday night live is in on it. What about all the women accusing you of Sexual Assault . They need to shut the hell up. Reporter tweeting, time to retire boring and unfunny show. Alec baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election. Trumps running mate tried to reassure the public. Well respect the will of the American People in the election. Reporter the Clinton Campaign says trump is using scorched earth scare tactics. He is swinging at every phantom of his own imagination because he knows hes losing. Reporter trump is ramping up attacks as more women accuse him of sexual misconduct. The latest to speak out, kathy heller, telling the guardian that in the mid 90s, trump kissed her without consent at a mothers day event in maralago. Trumps campaign denies the allegation saying in a statement, it would have been the talk of palm beach for the past two decades. False stories, all made up, lies, lies. Reporter and trump speaking about a suspected fire bombing of a gop office in hillsboro, North Carolina, seeming to blame clinton supporters. Clinton condemning the attack on twitter calling it horrific and unacceptable. And with the final debate just days away, trump has a new unfounded theory. Clinton may be on drugs. I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. I do. Because i dont know whats going on with her. But at the beginning of her last debate, she was all pumped up at the beginning, and at the end, it was, like, oh, take me down. Reporter despite all the controversy, our new poll shows Trump Supporters are sticking with him, but their enthusiasm is waning, down 1 points since last month. Mary bruce, abc news, washington. Hillary clinton is off the campaign trail preparing for wednesdays debate, but shes facing growing questions over thousands of hacked emails posted by wikileaks. The emails, believed to be from Campaign Chairman john podesta, include transcripts of private speeches clinton gave to Goldman Sachs, appearing to show a softer assistance than given in public. She has scripted advisers instructing clinton to laugh at herself. The Clinton Campaign neither confirmed or deny the emails. They said Russian Hackers are trying to influence the election and are to blame. A major battle against isis is now under way in iraq. Iraqs Prime Minister announced the operation to rib rat mosul from isis and says its begun. Mosul has been under isis control for more than two years and is the last major stronghold in iraq held by isis. U. S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter describes the operation as a Decisive Movement in the campaign to defeat the terror group. Alex marquardt is on the front lines and has more from just outside mosul. Reporter tens of thousands of troops massing for days near the city which is iraqs second biggest. We spent the day with Kurdish Forces here in the northern part of iraq. We visited several other bases that overlook both mosul and isis positions. Every fighter we met was eager, even impatient to get the battle started and push isis out of mosul. This is their last stand. They lost all the other cities they took over in 2014, and the question now is whether they put up a big fight or try to slip away across the border into syria. The iraqi and Kurdish Forces are being backed up by american and other International Special forces advisers on the ground and the u. S. Led coalition is carrying out air strikes, as well. The Iraqi Military dropped leaflets on the city telling residents to stay away from isis positions that will be targeted. Around 1 Million People are expected to flee the fighting. The u. N. And other agencies setting up emergency camps to accommodate all of them in what the u. N. Says could be the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world this year. Alex marquardt, abc news, iraq.

The American League series resumes tonight with cleveland at toronto. The indians lead the blue jays two games to none. And on to Fantasy Sports because fantasy football performances, cant ask for more than what you got from giants receiver Odell Beckham jr. Against the ravens, he caught a pass and turned it into a 75yard touchdown. Pretty impressive. When he got to the end zone, it got weird. He made a pole vaulter celebration with a triple jump. I dont think he stuck the landing. Is my thought on it. His toes werent even pointed. I mean, come on. Yeah. Then he continued his odd relationship with kicking, covering himself with it on the ground. Come on, man, get a room. Later, he did run another long touchdown and he was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. Then he went back to kicking the net. Seemingly proposing to it and were guessing the net said yes . I hope. I mean, they had to run the course of the relationship where they had an argument, and, you know made them stronger. So did he not get an unsportsmanlike penalty . There was one unsportsmanlike penalty, i believe. Not for the first thing . Im not sure. So weird. I dont understand where the line is of excess celebration . Yeah. Sometimes it seems so over the top and they get nothing and other times they do something that seems fairley simple and they are in trouble for it. I think its fair to say the player needs to tamp down his emotion. Id say so. The New York Daily News says they have to end it like beckham. Tired of the antics and people in new york feel that way. But thankful hes on their fantasy teams. Barely three weeks away from the president ial election, a candidate cant win the keystone state without winning the suburbs.

Turning now to the georgia man accused of murder for leaving his young son in a hot car. Prosecutors called a former escort to the witness stand to paint a picture of a man they allege who was trying to escape his life as a husband and as a dad. Reporter a former escort took the stand friday at the murder trial of justin ross harris. Prosecutors allege harris intentionally killed his 22 month old son, cooper harris. The escort, daniella duer testifying she had sex with the defendant weeks before he left his son to die in a hot car. The way i was able to describe him was just he didnt have any presence about him, just didnt care. Reporter the boy died in a hot summer day in 2014 after being left by his father in the backseat of the silver suv for several hours. Harris, fighting a murder charge, is pleading not guilty, saying he forgot to drop the boy off at day care on his way into work. Harris seen here crying on the first day of testimony as he relived the day. He was devastated by the loss of his son. Reporter testifying she was approached by police months after the boys death with a picture of ross stating the phone number she used in the days of an escort was found in harris phone records. Did you actually engage in sexual acts with him back in may yes, on three occasions. Reporter prosecutors pointing to harriss cell phone records as well as computer searches as proof that harris didnt want to be a father any more. I entered the term child and found five accesses to reddit with the term child free. Reporter but the defense highlighting in what was missing in harris and his wifes internet search history, alleged searches related to incar deaths. You found no evidence on the iphone or the macbook to corroborate that allegation . I found nothing that made statements to that effect, correct. Marci gonzalez, abc news, new york. Coming up, the doordie swing state of pennsylvania. Will donald trump have enough support to carry the keystone state . Were going to hear what voters there are saying, next. Youre watching world news now. World news now continues after this from our abc we have to let that play out a little bit longer. Absolutely. The east coast is a big focus right now, or a part of it for both president ial candidates in the crucial state of pennsylvania. So what impact did the trump tapes and the latest accusations have on the race there . Neither candidate is taking all of this for granted. Its your voice, your vote with abcs Martha Raddatz. Its kind of been wishywashy, but its start to go look more like Hillary Clinton. I was more towards trump initially, but now im just undecided. Reporter from undecided to clinton, from trump to undecided, but we also found a surprising and consistent response to the access hollywood tapes. The tape on the bus. Yeah, i mean, i dont know. No comment. I mean, you know, made some locker room comments, right . I dont think anyone i knew was surprised by it at all. Reporter in the end, the lack of surprise seems to have led to a lack of outrage. People are, like, oh, so offended by what he said, but i think men talk that way and i think women talk that way, as well. Reporter we heard that attitude again and again. Did you see the tape . Did that bother you . I actually thought it was funny. Reporter shes undecided. I shouldnt be saying anything. Reporter but even holly watkins, a clinton supporter thats a personal decision he chose to make has nothing to do with performance. Reporter while washington and the Democratic Base are rolling with it. If youre for trump before still trump probably. Reporter Dave Ashworth thinks the debate was just a clown act. Reporter and yet . For me, elections about the Supreme Court and not necessarily the president. Like, Marriage Equality and prochoice. Just, i dont believe in those things, so even if people dont like me, they have to vote for me. They have no choice. Why . Justices of the Supreme Court. Reporter many of trumps backers agree. Maybe theyre a little less excited to pull the lever, but trump aligns with their beliefs. Just a lot of mud slinging both ways. But i still side with trump on most issues. Im a big Second Amendment guy. Reporter did you see the tape . I did. Reporter what do you think . I think that that happens a lot in society today. Reporter but the fact that folks here are not shocked doesnt necessarily mean good things long term for trump in chester county. Hes trending down statewide.
