plan that he and his daughter ivanka put together. nearly two days into syria's cease-fire, peace there seems to be holding but desperately needed humanitarian aid, it's still not reaching the hundreds of thousands of civilians who need it. sim bone bulls, serena and venus williams all hacked, stealing and releasing medical data from these huge olympic stars. good morning, everybody. welcome to "early start." i'm christine romans. >> and i'm george howell. it's wednesday, september 14th, 5:00 a.m. in the east. hillary clinton's campaign announcing she does plan to turn to the stump tomorrow. clinton spent tuesday catching up on herri befing books. and making phone calls watching president obama campaign for her while in philadelphia. >> this is not me going through the motions here, i really,

really, really want to elect hillary clinton. >> that's three reallys there. he seems excited about it. hitting the campaign trail there with an intensity reminiscent of the energy seen in a barack obama of 2008 and 2012, defending hillary clinton. saying that she's being held to an unfair standards while hammering away at donald trump. the president also slammed the media for creating a false equivalence between the two candidates saying you can't blame the presidency on a curve. cnn's michelle kosinski was in philadelphia and has more. >> reporter: hi, george and christine. clinton was on the steps here of "rocky" punched back calling him by name which he always doesn't do. and he got pretty specific, too. including trump's praising of russian president vladimir putin, listen.

>> think about what's happened to the republican party. right? they used to be opposed to russia and authoritarianism, fighting for freedom and democracy. and now, their nominee is out there praising a guy, saying he's a stronger leader, because he invades smaller countries. jails his opponents. controls the press and drive his economy into a long recession. and when they interview or ask him why do you support this guy. he's a strong guy. look, he's got an 82% poll rating. well, yeah, saddam hussein had a 90% poll rating. >> reporter: the president didn't hold back. i mean, he called out the republican party saying they're fanning resentment and blame. he also called out trump for his knowledge, his business

dealings, even his charity work, said that he was hiding his tax return. this is more of what we can expect from president obama who is expected to spend much more time on the campaign trail when his schedule allows next month. george and christine. >> and michelle, thank you. let's dive deep entire donald trump new child care plan. trump now has three main proposals for working families. first, women whose dmrours not offer paid maternal leave could claim six weeks' unemployment benefits. now, critics say that leaves out fathers. so six weeks for women. second, trump would create a dependent care savings plan giving a tax break for anyone who sets aside up to 2,000 aids year to cover the costs associated with child care, or elder care, working families, working parents taking care of their own parents. finally, parents could deduck the average cost of child care in their state based on their child's age. some worry that these proposals

might invite employers to drop their paid maternal leave and as one put it, stick it to the taxpayer. the question how does trump pay for all of this? his campaign estimates it would cost $2.5 billion. it would fund that by trying to rid the unemployment system of fraud. hillary clinton released her early in her presidential campaign in 2015. she would cap the cost of child care at month northern 10% of income, guarantee 12 weeks of paid family leave and universal pre-k for 4 year olds. we don't know how she would pay for it. let's get context on what's happening today. let's bring in cnn politics reporter eugene scott. good morning. >> does this with donald trump with woman, you have ivanka trump standing with him, she's a powerful, powerful surrogate for him. does this help him with women? >> when i speak with voters who

are usually on the bubble with donald trump particularly women, it's when he starts talking about child care that he has their attention most. i think if he moves forward with this and explains more on thursday he may have some look at him again who has written him off in the past. i think one interesting point about another group that trump isn't doing very well with that gives him a second look this time is millennial voters. it's a group that he's not doing well. a lot forget that mill mentals like ivanka trump, many are old enough to be parents and don't have the income yet that allows him to pay for child care. i think he hits two interesting groups there that can help with the polls. >> donald trump relying on the perception that things are bad. the economy is bad. things are getting worse but the numbers don't say that. and the president in philadelphia really hammered that point home. let's listen to what apresident obama had to say there. >> more americans are working. more have health insurance. incomes are rising. poverty is falling.

and gas is $2 a gallon. i didn't even -- all right. thank you for reminding me. thanks, obama. >> thanks, obama. the president really, you know, taking advantage of the fact that, yeah, the numbers tell one story. but the question for donald trump, has perception become reality for him if he continues to tell people, hey, things are bad. will people start to operate as if things are bad, despite the fact that the numbers don't indicate that? >> well i think what we've seen with this election unfortunately we're in a post fact check culture. what people believe and what the facts are don't always match up. one thing i thought was very interesting about the president's campaigning yesterday, he did spend significant time advocating for hillary clinton but a lot of it was simply fact-checking the ideas that donald trump put out

there. it's almost as if he preempted his speech for mothers and working women saying is this a candidate who doesn't have a track record of paying attention to the needs of working class americans and arguing that hillary clinton does. >> we all encourage a big robust discussion in this country about how we're going to support working families. especially low wage working families. some the criticism of the donald trump plan, the broad brush stroke of the plan for low wage families it's hard to put money away pre-tax. some of these families don't have a tax burden, they're not going -- they're not making enough money to get a lot back on the tax code, et cetera. so, will it be a real meaty proposal or talking points and ideas? that's what i just don't know. >> right. so everyone is interested to see what he lays out on thursday in terms of more details. you highlighted earlier, there's still a lot of questions about hillary clinton's plan as well. i think what both of these

candidates have revealed the economic situation of these is diverse. and hard to come up with a solution. >> this is one time where i can think how to help working parents has really been something that both sides of the aisle are talking. >> absolutely. it's a real issue. i read a great column i believe in "the washington post" a while ago saying a lot of the conversations are about helping middle class families. there are not as many conversations about helping poor families. there are people who have trouble paying for kids who don't struggle with the same issues as some of the middle class parents do, such as after-school brams and things like that. >> do you know in some zip codes, child care costs more than college. >> easily. >> yeah. >> when you look at the labor force rate, people dropping out of the labor market, some of those people are where one parent stays home because they can't afford the child care, after school care on a low wage

plan. >> one thing that's interesting about donald trump's plan, he stalked about stay-at-home mothers. it's an issue he mentioned last week. just acknowledging that the family dynamics of americans is really diverse and people need plans to respond to that. >> focusing on white ed indicated voters and in pennsylvania laying out that plan, donald trump is really trying to move the needle, you say when it comes to these issues, he tends to do so. >> yeah very much so. and i think president obama may have said that yesterday in pennsylvania where it has a lot of a lot of white educated voters in the suburbs of philadelphia who will actually turn out for hillary clinton and aren't led to donald trump with these plans addressing the issues that they are addressing as well. >> scott, thank you. 9 minutes past the hour. hundreds of thousands are still

liver aid to those besieged areas specially, of course, aleppo which has 200,000 under seei siege in that part of the country. certainly, humanitarian aid very, very important for that area. on the one hand, they need permission from the syrian government to actually move their aid trucks into aleppo. they say they have about 40 trucks packed ready with aid to go to the turkish border. it has not been forthcoming yet. the syrian government said they're not going to allow any aid trucks to enter especially those coming from the turkish border which is the closest area to aleppo getting in there. negotiations are still going on, very difficult and unclear when those provisions are going to get there. certainly waiting for an area under siege for a very long time. >> you say it's quieter there than it has been in some sometime since you've been on the ground reporting?

>> reporter: yeah, absolutely, it certainly is. but at the same time, we've been speaking to people here, christine, they say that they're optimistic, cautiously optimistic that the cease-fire could potentially hold. they say, look, they've had cease-fires in the past. regional cease-fires and nationwide cease-fires. all of those have fallen apart. they hope that this time it can last. they hope that russia and work together to fight groups like isis. of course, they've been disappointed somentsz that many of them remain kept skal. so far, it seems to be holding and there are isolated incidents of fighting, but they do say there's been a big decrease in violence that they've seen since the cease-fire. >> fred, thanks. >> a cyber attack on the world anti-doping agency and russian hackers are suspected, in case, exposing the medical records of well-known american athletes from tennis sars serena and

venus williams to gymnast simone bil biles. cnn's matthew chance is following developments live in moscow this morning. matthew, good morning to you. what has been the response from the russian government about this? >> well, the russian government has issued a categoricical denial saying they have nothing effectively to do with this hackers statement from the spokesman for the kremlin saying we can say any such actions on the part of official moscow or the russian government or russian secret service is strictly out of the question, it is, in his words, simply ruled out. of course, the russians have a fair degree of deniability. because even though researchers and law enforce agencies particularly in the united states, point the finger of blame of russia being behind the hack attacks there's not a great deal of concrete evidence.

there's the circumstantial evidence they used sophisticated electronic device which is implies state backing for it. it requires a lot of organization. they don't target economic interests. they target political ones. as criminals they've been trying to empty your bank accounts. and they tend to target individual or organizations aligned with russian national interest. so they don't target russia's friends. they tend to target its enemies. and that's what leads research issers to think this is a russian hack attack. >> cnn international correspondent matthew chance live in moscow. thank you. are you ready for the new and improved nfl color rush? with the colors for all three teams, this time, they figured out how not to confuse color blind fans watching at home their team. andy scholes with the "bleacher report" next. her to make one great thing. great grains. why be good when you can be great?

there. reading books, a few, making phone calls and watching president obama campaign for her in philadelphia. >> this is not me going through the motions here. i really, really, really want to elect hillary clinton. >> president obama hitting the trail with an energy familiar from 2008, 2012, vigorously defending clinton saying she's being held to an unfair standard. and he hammered donald trump. the president also slammed the media for creating false equivalence between these two candidates saying you can't grade the presidency on a curve. cnn's michelle kosinski is in philadelphia. she's got more. >> reporter: hi george and christine, the president stood here at the steps here, yep, the ones from "rocky" to punch back against donald trump repeatedly and directly, calling him out by name which he doesn't always do. he got pretty specific, too.

including trump's praising of russian president vladimir putin, listen. >> think of what's happened to the republican party they used to be opposed to authoritarianism, fighting for freedom and fighting for democracy. and now, their nominee is out there praising a guy, saying he's a stronger leader, because he invades smaller countries. jails his opponents. controls the press and drives his economy into a long recession. and when the interviewer asked him, well, why would you support this guy? he's a strong guy, look, he's got an 80% poll rating. well, saddam hussein had a 90% poll rating. >> reporter: the president didn't hold back. i mean, he called out the republican party, saying that they're fanning resentment and

blame. he also called out trump for his knowledge, his business dealings, even his charity work. and said he was hiding his tax return. i mean, this is more of what we can expect from president obama who is expected to spend much more time on the campaign trail when his schedule allows next month. george and christine. >> michelle, thank you for that. a spring in the president's step because of this, too. the mill class finally getting a raise median household income in the u.s. jumping 5.2% last year. that's according to an wall report from the census department. the largest jump since record keeping began. the average is now above $56,000. which means families taking home an extra $2800 more from 2014 and 2015, that's real money. stagnant wages had been a major criticism of obama economy. but these numbers are showing that an improving job market is starting to lift all of these middle class, poor families and other middle classes as well, the percentage of americans with

poverty shrinking, 13.5% in 2015. that's a drop. some pulled out of programs of poverty with food stamps. . 43 million people living in poverty. 9.1% of americans are uninsured. campaigning for hillary clinton yesterday, president obama used these numbers to reflect on his economic achievements. >> more americans are working. more have health insurance. incomes are rising. poverty is falling. and gas is $2 a gallon. i didn't even -- all right. thank you for reminding me. thanks, obama. >> trying to numbers to crunch in that census data one big negative point women still make 80 cents to every dollar a man makes. even though you've got the expansion of the economy, job market getting better, wages

beginning to rise, women and men's ratio there at 80 cents. last night, donald trump unveiled his plan to make child care more affordable. he was introduced at a rally in pennsylvania by his daughter ivanka, a working mother herself to helped craft this proposal. trump says his plan will make child care costs tax deductible for families learning less than $500,000 a year. and he says that he wants six weeks' maternal leave guaranteed for mothers whose employers don't offer that benefit. >> this maternal leave will be paid straight out of the unemployment insurance fund. and, again, the safety net will become completely paid for through savings within the program. there are more reforms and solutions in our child care plan. and you can review them all on the website. on thursday, i will outline my full economic plan which is completely paid for through

economic growth and proposed federal budget savings. it's going to be something special. like this country hasn't seen in many, many decades. >> trump there promising that there is more info to come, as you heard. his plans are paid for, but without a lot of detail on how they'll be paid for. he says that will come tomorrow, as part of a planned speech on the economy. all right, having to break down the day in politics, we've got eugene scott backs with. eugene, you know, it's not me who loves to crunch census department figures. because, look, these numbers are really important. these numbers represent what's happening. on the front page of every big newspapers today, incomes in the u.s. up sharply. this is a $2800 pay raise from 2015 to 2016.

across the income spectrum. we saw finally, finally starting to play out. it takes away the statistics on the campaign trail. he said said again under president obama you've lost $4,000 per family. what do the numbers mean for the partisan fight happening right now? >> it depends on whether or not facts mean that much to you. and regardless of the side of the aisle you're on. i covered the economic downturn at that time, ground zero. and the numbers support that. whether people feel like they're doing better is a completely different thing. i remember newt gingrich on "new day" speaking with alisyn about that, hitting him with the facts which the reality is many in trump's base don't feel like they're doing better but they are. >> it's a perception of the economy sometimes. sometimes, it's all of this talk about you're not getting ahead.

you're never going to get ahead, it's so hard that just resonates in certain demographics? >> i think so. i think people have goals that they would like to achieve they haven't seen quite yet, whether or not hillary clinton or donald trump can help them get there, that remains to be seen. >> in fact, thing, getting better for a lot of people. if it's not economics, i think back to that convention in cleveland, very different tone. if it's not economics, then what is it? >> it's probably just change, seeing america going into a direction that is different from what people have seen in the past. we record on this at cnnpolitics.com. we're seeing significant demographic changes, regardless of the economic status of individuals. >> cultural? >> cultural, race, immigration, gender, orientation, class. and this change, this looks new and unfamiliar to a lot of people. let's talk health.

hillary clinton seen obviously a few days ago, stumbling after the 9/11 memorial. health transparency is the issue. donald trump as well. we know he will appear on dr. oz's show to talk about health. dr. oz has explained how that interview will happen. let's take a list ton that. >> it's his decision. look, the metaphor for me, this is a doctor's office, the studio. so i'm not going to ask him questions he doesn't want to have answered. if he put satio s limitations, acknowledge them. >> how health like reality tv, as opposed to just a letter that helps indicators. and also let's show the statement, the first statement that was written for donald trump talking about his health by his doctor. his statement, a bizarrely written paragraph kind of says, well his physical strength and stamina are extraordinary, if elected, mr. trump, i can state ungivically, will be the health individual ever elected to the

presidentedcy. a little hyperbole there. the question comes down will this be enough information for people to explain the true status of donald trump's health? >> i think it depends on who you're talking to. the reality is both of these candidates are seeing when you're running for president, information that you may have kept private if you a private citizen is of interest to many voters. i think the situation recently with hillary clinton has brought that to the forefront. i think one thing that is interesting to dr. oz, if there are things that donald trump has amade clear that he doesn't want to talk about, he will acknowledge those things. but i think that opens the opportunity for questions from voters that want to know why do you not want to talk about this? we've seen things regarding health with both of these candidates that's an opening for conspiracy theories. >> conspiracy is a big issue for both of these candidates, quite frankly. >> very much here. and not just here. in terms of foundation and taxes, people have questions, whether or not these candidates will give answers remain to be

seen. we've only got a few weeks left. >> eugene scott, thanks so much. the calm seems to be settling over syria at this hour. two days into the country's cease-fire but major obstacles remain. standing in the way of providing aid to the desperate people who need. it cnn is live in syria, next. that limits where you earn bonus cash back. or... you can get the quicksilver card from capital one. quicksilver earns you unlimited 1.5% cash back on ev-e-ry purchase, ev-e-ry-where. i shouldn't have to ask. what's in your wallet? ♪ two, please.

welcome back to "early start." i'm george howell. we are well into the second day of a fragile cease-fire in syria. and so far, that truce appears to be holding. but desperately needed humanitarian aid has still yet to reach the hundreds of thousands of people caught in the cross fire of this bloody civil war. several different agencies are ready to start delivering food, water and medicine needed. but first, they need guarantees of security from all of the parties that are involved in this conflict.

our senior international correspondent fred pleitgen is live in damascus, syria, with the story. fred good morning to you. what more do we know about the holdup here? >> reporter: well, it's a long and very difficult process that's going on, george. on the one hand, you have the administrative holdup. for instance, the syrian government said it's not going to let any aid convoice reach the besieged areas unless they have the expressed consent of the syrian government and the united nations. that goes especially for convoys originating from turkey. and that's actually the place where the u.n. wants to make its first aid deliversies to aleppo. convoyed packed with food and medical supplies. there's those administrative holdups. and also the security holdups where the united nation has to speak with various rebel groups. and then, of course, that have to breach that besieged ring in aleppo to actually get to those

areas in the eastern part of the city that are surrounded by the syrian army and its affiliated forces. so there's a lot of negotiations still taking place. it's unclear when the convoys are able to move. but the u.n. says they are working night and day to try and make that happen. of course, speaking to the syrian government. speaking to the rebel groups as well. at the same time, as you pointed out, the u.n. saying there's been a significant decrease in violence. there have been incidents around aleppo and other areas as well. a huge decrease in violence here in this country. people seeing here on the ground in damascus say they're very happy with that, but they're not sure whether it will last. >> so administrative and security holdups you say but the crew chief hold for the home. senior international correspondent fred pleitgen live in damascus. >> it's that time of the morning, folks. let's take a look at "new day." chris cuomo joins us. >> best part of the morning, christine. you left that part out. i put it in the teleprompter and

yesterday evening saying, look, we can say without any hesitation, he says, this has nothing to do with official moscow. nothing to do with the russian statement of russian security services. that's not something they're eve considering as a possibility. they've got a certain amount of deniability because the fact is it there's no real technical digital evidence when you look at these hacking programs, this malware, it's sourced from russia. the evidence is mainly circumstantial, it takes a lot of money and expense to get these hacking groups up and running. indicating state backing. and all the targets they choose, these groups nanny as fancy bear and cozy bear which are linked with the russian security forces are targets that are associated, aligned with the russian national interests. so they target the friends of russia, they only target the perceived enemies of russia, so, that's what's driving this concern. now, the latest attack on the websites, of course, wada itself

has been informeded by law enforcement agencies this was russia behind it saying the not doing very much to increase the trust between russia and anti-doping community. because russia, you'll remember, had its track and field athletes banned from the rio games and paralympics, banned from paralympics in rio as well does so have an ax to grind, george. >> our senior international correspondent matthew chance live in moscow. thank you. let's get an early start on "your money." that eerily calm summer is officialdy down. dow in the three of the past sessions, futures higher. stock markets in asia mixed oil prices are up. take a look, stocks plunged friday. there are worries the fed might boost rates soon but bounced back from lyle braynard who said hold on the fed has to exercise prudence before raising the rates. the dow dropping 258 points.
