Trump lashes out against Clinton in bitter debate Republican threatens rival with jail; columnists react to debate; Facebook faces revenge pornography case; Samsung said to halt Galaxy Note 7 production Trump and Clinton debate. Photograph: Paul J. Richards/AFP/Getty Images Edward Helmore in New York Trump goes low while Clinton is subdued in debate Donald Trump is waiting to learn this morning if he did enough in his debate performance last night to stabilize his floundering presidential campaign. In a heated match-up in St Louis that followed the release of a tape last week of him crudely bragging about groping women, the Republican nominee exceeded low expectations. The tone of the debate was bitter, with Trump at one point threatening to "jail" Democratic rival Hillary Clinton while she accused him of trying to divert attention from the release of the lewd recordings. Clinton accused the businessman of being in the pocket of Vladimir Putin, but looked rattled by the brutal onslaught over her record in office. Trump began the night by introducing three women at a press conference who had accused the candidate's husband of rape or sexual assault in the 1990s, and one woman, raped as a child, whose assailant Hillary Clinton defended, as ordered by a judge, when she was a 27-year-old lawyer. They sat in the audience for the debate throughout the evening. Donald Trump threatens Hillary Clinton with jail in second presidential debate Our columnists react Richard Wolffe: "The nicest thing you could say about Trump's performance was that it was bonkers"; Jessica Valenti: "People will say that Trump won simply because he didn't spontaneously combust on stage"; Kenneth Pennington: "Trump is depriving Americans of robust national discourse"; Christopher R Barron: 'Trump succeeded in recapturing the momentum." Here, the candidates' claims are fact checked, while Adam Gabbatt meets pro-Trump voters in Pennsylvania. Trump or Clinton: who won the second presidential debate? Facebook facing pornography test case A legal case against Facebook, which will involve a 14-year-old taking the company to court in Belfast over naked images published on the social network, could open the floodgates for other civil claims, according to lawyers who work with victims of revenge pornography. The trial centers on a claim that Facebook is liable for the publication of a naked picture of the girl posted repeatedly on a "shame page" as an act of revenge. It has alarmed the tech world and could have a seismic impact on how social media companies deal with explicit images. Facebook revenge pornography trial 'could open floodgates' Samsung 'suspends' production of Galaxy Note 7 The South Korean technology giant is reported to have suspended production of its flagship smartphone following repeated problems with the new device. Last month, Samsung announced the global recall of at least 2.5m Galaxy Note 7 smartphones due to faulty batteries that caused some of the phones to emit smoke or catch fire. Now the replacement phones are said to have similar problems. In one incident, passengers were evacuated from a Southwest Airlines plane after a replacement Note 7 started smoking and making "popping noises". Here, why batteries explode. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall crisis deepens with reports of suspended production The hollow recovery Eight years ago this week the US labor department announced 159,000 jobs had been lost in September, the same month that Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, and the economy spiralled into the worst recession in decades. Today, the US economy has seen the longest streak of job creation on record and the White House claims that the economic recovery is here. Yet many feel that financial insecurity remains high and job security low. We speak to five people about how they feel about the economy eight years after the start of the financial crisis. The Great Recession: the hollow recovery Christians against climate change John Abraham considers the growing movement amongst people of faith to bring more action to dealing with climate change. The argument, that the Earth is God's gift to humanity, is gathering force. Now a book, Caring for Creation, lays out the necessity for faith- and science-based environmentalism. Paul Douglas, a respected meteorologist, entrepreneur, Republican, and Christian, and his writing partner Mitch Hescox, who leads the Evangelical Environmental Network, offer a side-by-side presentation first of science, then faith, and back to science again. Caring for Creation makes the Christian case for climate action Tom Brady returns, Patriots win After missing four games as punishment for "deflategate", Tom Brady stepped onto the field in Cleveland to cheers and "Welcome back Tom!" signs. The start of Brady's 17th NFL season picked up where most of them left off. Brady threw for 406 yards and three touchdowns as the Patriots rolled to a 33-13 win over the Cleveland Browns, the NFL's only winless team. New England is 4-1 and atop the AFC East. Tom Brady returns, the Patriots win, and all is pretty much back to normal Veteran actors go to war over Trump Robert De Niro has upped his criticism of Donald Trump, calling him "blatantly stupid … he's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig, he's a con, a bullshit artist. A mutt who doesn't know what he's talking about" – and calling Republican party supporter Jon Voight "delusional". Jon Voight attacked De Niro's video in a series of tweets, saying he was ashamed of his fellow actor's rant. Voight also defended Trump over a tape released last week in which Trump boasted about groping women. Robert De Niro calls Jon Voight 'delusional' over support for Trump In case you missed it … A new report from the Institute of Policy Studies provides the most accurate calculation of government spending on climate security to date. The picture isn't pretty. We're spending 28 times as much on military security than climate security. A public sector investment of $55bn per year is required to meet the challenge, according to the study. As the IPS report points out, money lies untouched in the nation's bloated military budget and stopping the troubled F-35 fighter plane program would save enough to build wind farms to power 320,000 homes. We have money to fight climate change. It's just that we're spending it on defense Manage your emails | Unsubscribe | Trouble viewing?
