Filmmaker James Cameron produced a video on climate change with former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger that will be shown during the Democratic National Convention tonight. Mr Schwarzenegger, a Republican, and actress Sigourney Weaver lend their voices to the film that describes the dangers of climate change and Hillary Clinton's plans to combat it.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is criticised for calling climate change a "hoax" and the title of the film - "Not Reality TV" - is a implicit dig at Mr Trump's past career as host of the The Apprentice. Coincidentally, Mr Schwarzenegger will replace Mr Trump as the host of The Apprentice this fall.

Despite Bernie Sanders and others calling for party unity, some hardcore Sanders supporters aren't giving up the fight and still plan to disrupt the Democratic National Convention as it continues in Philadelphia.
Kathleen Burke, a New Mexico delegate, encouraged her fellow Sanders supporters to protest during President Barack Obama's speech tonight.
