Hillary Clinton accuses Donald Trump of being a puppet of Putin in contentious final debate

America's main presidential candidates have faced off in their final debate, with Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump attacking each other on key issues.

Mrs Clinton extended her lead in the polls after a series of women accused Mr Trump of unwanted sexual advances, and this debate was seen as critical for Mr Trump in trying to claw back votes.

After clashing on issues including gun control, abortion, trade and immigration, Mrs Clinton accused Mr Trump of being a puppet of Russian President Vladimir Putin, because Russia was involved in email hacks on the US to support his candidacy.

Theresa May admits she did know about child sex abuse inquiry concerns

Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May has admitted she had heard concerns over the leadership of the country's troubled child sex abuse inquiry but did not act. 

The British leader told MPs in Parliament that she knew about the worries of some staff regarding former inquiry chair Dame Lowell Goddard, before she resigned the post in August. 

Dame Lowell became the third person to resign as chair from the wide-ranging inquiry into historic child sex abuse allegations.   

 Mrs May, who was then Home Secretary, said concerns about the New Zealand judge had been raised in confidence and so she was therefore unable to take official action.
