Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has made the biggest speech of her life, trying to unify the divided party at its convention in Philadelphia.

As she formally accepted the nomination, Mrs Clinton tried woo disappointed supporters of former rival Bernie Sanders, pledging to champion his progressive policies.
