>> people have come to realize this is a industry-wide problem. >> reporter: daniel baker from airlines are using old systems. >> they have these multi-decade old systems for dealing with passengers that are expected to deal with mobile apps and online check-ins on the web. there is a lot more demand, and they're doing it with pretty limited capacity. >> reporter: delta says its systems are operating once again, and it is investigating why its back-ups didn't kick in as they should have. charlie, delays in some places range, so the airline continues to struggle to get back on track. >> rose: thanks, kris. the number of non-travel related infections of zika in florida rose today to 17. this time the person is in palm beach county, about 75 miles north of the miami zika zone. but had traveled to miami-dade county. david begnaud has the latest on the battle against the virus linked to birth defects. >> reporter: there has been aerial spraying t zone at least three times now. with 17 locally transmitted zika cases, the one-square-mile area of wynwood was a near ghost town this weekend. four months into her pregnancy, marie vital acle feared she had zika. she started having flu-like symptoms. today she received some good news. >> we did your test last week, and it was negative. >> reporter: what was the reaction when you got it? >> whew. taking precautions, including using bug spray any time she's outside. you understand how randomly it could have been you. >> absolutely, and in this situation, when you become pregnant, you just sort of have to accept that you're not in control. one thing that you're in control of with zika is you can prevent. >> reporter: vital acle's obstetrician, dr. maria lopez- beecham, worries some of her other patients are forgetting about prevention. >> i think many people want to be tested, but you always wonder, do you have bug spray in your purse. as you are going to get tested, do you have bug spray in your purse? that's what you have to focus on. the image has to be of the mosquitoes, the mosquito bites. that's what you need to avoid. >> reporter: tonight in palm beach county, inspectors are in the area where the new case was detected going door-to-door asking people for voluntary urine samples to see who else may have been infected. charlie, kids are about to go back to school in florida, and education leaders to start teaching students about zika protection. >> rose: thanks, david. folks in florida are bracing for severe flooding. in port richey, roads have already been closed because of heavy rains, and the forecast is only getting worse. some places could get nine inches of rain in the next few days. that's because a storm system has stalled over the florida panhandle. the bad weather extends all the way to new orleans. in the pacific, tropical storm javier is bearing down on baja heavy air is expected to pass by the resort town of cabo san lucas late tonight. half a foot of rain is in the forecast. an earlier storm, earl, dumped a month of rain on central mexico in just 24 hours. triggered an avalanche of mud that killed at least 45 people. today, soldiers and rescue teams searched for survivors in the mud and rubble. survivors were transported in bone-dry. tonight, dozens of wildfires are burning out of control. evacuations have been ordered in the san bernardino mountains east of los angeles. hundreds of firefighters and 16 aircraft are battling the pilot fire. it has burned 4,500 acres. smoke has blown all the way to las vegas. it wasn't the fiery donald trump we're used to today. rather than speak off the cuff, hed delivered an economic address in detroit. a new national poll out today shows him trailing hillary clinton by 12 points among registered voters. major garrett now on trump's attempt to get his troubled campaign back on track. >> she's the candidate of the past. ours is the campaign of the future. >> reporter: donald trump's top advisers have been begging him for weeks to get back on message and position himself as an agent of change against hillary today, evidence of a trump conversion. >> when we reform our tax, trade, energy and regulatory policies, we will open a new chapter in american prosperity. >> reporter: and yet trump's economic proposals align with every republican president and nominee since ronald reagan, with across-the-board tax cuts, hostility to federal regulations and support of fossil fuels. >> my plan will reduce the current number of brackets from seven to three and dramatically streamline the process. >> reporter: in a significant shift, trump scrapped his original tax plan and embraced a less-expensive one drafted by house republicans with income tax brackets of 12, 25 and 33%. trump's first plan had a top rate of 25% and a more generous standard deduction. the non-partisan tax policy center estimated trump's first ten years. the house g.o.p. plan is about one-third less costly. trump's speech was interrupted more than a dozen times by protesters in what appeared to be a coordinated effort to throw him off course. trump remained unfazed. >> it's all very well planned out. >> reporter: while trump tried to drive his economic message, 50 high-ranking republican national security and diplomatic advisers to presidents from richard nixon to george w. bush signed a letter opposing trump. charlie, they said trump if elected would be if most reckless president in american history. trump dismissed the letter saying those who signed it were to blame for making the world such a dangerous place. >> rose: thanks, major. hillary clinton's reaction the trump came, as it usually does, quickly. here's nancy cordes. >> he wants to roll back regulations on wall street. florida, clinton said trump would explode the debt by cutting taxes for the wealthy and increase spending. >> he wants to basically repackage trickle-down economics. [audience reacts] now, you know that old saying, "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me." trickle-down economics does not help our economy grow. it does not help the vast >> reporter: she also mocked his new economic team made up of white men, hedge fund guy, millionaire guys, six guys named steve apparently. >> reporter: clinton's advantage with women is one factor in her widening lead. here's another: 57% of virginians think she's prepared to be president. compared to just 36% who say >> she's truly unhinged. she's unbalanced. she's a monster. >> reporter: but there are warning signs for clinton in the new polls, as well. just 36% of voters view her favorably, slightly more than trump but still lower than any winning presidential candidate in modern history. >> i want you to tell your friends, don't let a friend vote trump. >> reporter: clinton has consolidated the party around her. more than nine in ten democrats her compared to fewer than eight in ten republicans who say that about trump. it may not sound like a big difference, charlie, but it can swing an election in a country as closely divided as this one. >> rose: thanks, nancy. in pakistan today, militants shot and killed a prominent lawyer, then a suicide bomber attacked a hospital where mourners had gathered. at least 70 people were killed, more than 90 were hurt. both the taliban and isis have tonight syria's biggest city is in danger of becoming a slaughterhouse. the assad regime's army backed by iran and russia had surrounded aleppo, but they have not been able to lock it down. debora patta reports tonight from inside syria. [gunfire]. >> reporter: a key turning point was reached over the weekend when a newly formed coalition of opposition fighters, including some recently affiliated to al qaeda, managed to break through government lines. they rea footage, which shows the moment a suicide bomber drove a truck through the city and blew himself up, allowing rebel groups to advance forward and seize a military complex with small arms, ammunition and heavy artillery. it all looked so different just two weeks ago, after years of stalemate in the fight for control of the city, government troops backed by russian air strikes seized the rebels' last remaining supply route, cutting in a desperate bid to break the siege, opposition forces launched a successful counter- offensive and surprisingly were also able to take over the main road into the government-held part of the city where an estimated 1.2 million people live. the gains by the opposition was greeted with celebrations in the rebel-controlled parts of aleppo, but they could be short lived. food and fuel shortages and the syrian military backed by its allies say they are amassing thousands more fighters along the front lines. the fight for aleppo is clearly intensifying, and it could become a pivotal battle in this war. but at this stage, charlie, it's unclear whether either side can actually win. >> rose: thanks, debora. i talked today to michael morell, former deputy director of the c.i.a. and until recently a cbs news contributor. he suggests the united states should support more aggressive iranians were giving weapons to the shiia militia who were killing american soldiers. the iranians were making us pay a price. we need to make the iranians pay a price in syria. we need to make the russians pay a price. here's the other thing i want to do. i want to go after those things that assad sees as his personal power base, right?
