  6. Trump on jihadistspublished at 03:10 British Summer Time 10 October 2016

    Trump continues to attack Clinton's record as secretary of state. 

    "I don't like Assad at all, but Assad is killing ISIS. Russia is killing ISIS and Iran is killing ISIS," and the three have lined up together, he says, as moderator Martha Raddatz tells him his time is up. 

    Raddatz presses Trump on what he thinks will happen if Aleppo falls into the hands of the so-called Islamic State.

    "I think that it basically has fallen," he responds.

  7. Reality Check: 'Public and private positions'published at 03:09 British Summer Time 10 October 2016

    Quotation from Hillary Clinton on Abraham Lincoln

    Claim: Donald Trump mocks Hillary Clinton for saying she was just quoting from the film Lincoln when she said that politicians should have different positions in public and private. "Abraham Lincoln never lied - that is the big difference between Abraham Lincoln and you," he tells his Democratic rival.

    Reality Check verdict: The Clinton quote comes from an April 2013 speech to the National Multifamily Housing Council. It was one of the paid speeches she gave before launching her presidential bid, which she refused to release, but details of which have now been revealed in leaked emails. 

    She did give an example from the movie Lincoln, and the deal-making that went into passage of the 13th Amendment, a process she compared to sausage-making.

    She said: "It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be, but if everybody's watching, you know, all of the back-room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position.''

  10. Syria & Holocaustpublished at 03:06 British Summer Time 10 October 2016

    Clinton answers a question about whether the Syrian civil war and the Holocaust in Europe are similar.

    She's advocating for a no-fly zone, saying that "we need leverage with the Russians" in order to bring them to the negotiating table. 

    But she warns that the US needs to be careful about the aggression and ambitions of Russia. 

    "I would go to the negotiating table with more leverage than we have now," but adds she does support prosecuting war crimes against Russia and Syria.

  13. Cooper presses Trump on taxespublished at 03:02 British Summer Time 10 October 2016

    Moderator Cooper asks: "Did you use that $916m loss to avoid paying federal taxes?"

    "Of course I do," he said, before adding that many of Clinton's donors did the same thing. 

    "I absolutely used it, but so did Warren Buffet and so did George Soros," he said. 

    If she had a problem, she had 30 years to fix it, he said. "She's all talk".

    Trump contends that if Clinton was an effective senator, she could have passed legislation getting rid of carried-interest provisions, in which some financial managers can claim income as capital gains. 

    She responds by outlining all that she has accomplished in her tenure.

    "We have never in the history of our country been in the situation where an adversary - a foreign power - is working so hard to influence the outcome of our election", she says. 

    Maybe it's because he's praised Putin, or maybe it's because he's financially tangled with Russian businessmen, she adds, noting that Americans will only know if he'd release his taxes.

    "I don't know Putin," says Trump, insisting he hasn't been working with the Russia government in his campaign.

    He says it would be good if the US could co-operate with Russia to defeat the so-called Islamic State.
