YUAN DEVALUED AGAIN AMID CURRENCY WAR FEARS

China's currency, the Yuan, has fallen further in value with the country's central bank again slashing the guiding rate for it.

The Yuan's rate against the US dollar had already devalued a record 1.9% on Tuesday.

Amid fears of a currency war the Chinese central bank insists it will not be a sustained depreciation.

China hopes the lower Yuan will boost exports after a series of weak economic data.

LABOUR LEADERSHIP RACE IN CHAOS

There are calls for the UK Labour Party to re-rerun its leadership contest because of claims the vote is being infiltrated by saboteurs.

Several Labour MPs say opponents are signing up as party members to elect leftist candidate Jeremy Corbyn as leader.

The party says false supporters aren't only joining to back Mr Corbyn, whose detractors insist would be unelectable as Prime Minister if he did become Labour leader.

The left-winger has a significant lead in latest polling of Labour voters, with the leader due to be announced next month.

It follows a resounding defeat for Labour in May's general election.

Labour commentator Dan Hodges says the party can't abandon the leadership contest now.

Hillary Clinton To Turn Over Private Email Server

Hillary Clinton will turn over her private email server to federal authorities, after months of scrutiny over her use of a private email account during her time serving the US as Secretary of State. The Democratic presidential frontrunner earlier released thousands of pages of work emails to the State Department, but not the server itself. Polls show an increasing number of US voters view Clinton as untrustworthy, due in part to questions surrounding her email use.

US warns it is prepared to use military force against Iran over nuclear deal breaches

American Secretary of State John Kerry says the US reserves the right to use military action if Iran doesn't live up to its commitments under a controversial nuclear deal.

Mr Kerry is on a public relations campaign to get support for the deal, against a skeptical Congress which could reject it. A senior Democratic Senator, Chuck Schumer, says he'll vote against the agreement, and the White House is working out if it has the numbers to sustain a presidential veto if it is 
rejected in Congress.

Speaking at a New York forum hosted by the Thomson Reuters news agency, Mr Kerry said the deal prevented Iran from ever getting nuclear weapons, and rejecting it would only help bring about a nuclear armed Iran.
