It was Hillary Clinton's night in Philadelphia Monday, but it was Michelle and Barack Obama who stole the show. The outgoing First Couple stepped up before a packed-out crowd of thousands in Independence Square, outside the very building where the Declaration of Independence was signed, to reflect on the past eight years and to look forward to a promised future of hope and prosperity - pending a Clinton presidency. The crowd had already been warmed up by music from Bruce Springsteen (bottom-right) and Jon Bon Jovi, and a speech by Bill Clinton, but even that build-up wasn't enough for the emotional heights that Michelle Obama reached in her time on the podium.

Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin finally made it back onto her boss's campaign plane for one of the final legs of Clinton's historic presidential run. Reporters spotted Clinton's loyal aide aboard the plane late Monday night after Clinton's campaign rally in Philadelphia. Bill Clinton and singer Jon Bon Jovi also were on board. Abedin was effectively grounded after October 28, when FBI Director James Comey announced the stunning news that the bureau was taking another look at Clinton's emails. Then on Monday, just two days before Election Day, Comey dropped another bombshell, revealing that after a review of additional emails, the FBI was standing by its July decision - not to recommend criminal charges against the former Secretary of State. The campaign never said if Abedin was being kept off for reasons having to do with optics, or other reasons.

In an apparent attempt to intimidate voters, at least a dozen trucks and other vehicles were caught on video parading around early polling stations in Florida waving Confederate flags. All of the vehicles were outfitted with the American and Confederate flag along with other flags that read: 'Trump for president.' The incident was caught on camera by John Zaccaro, Jr, who was volunteering as a poll observer in Florida, according to his sister Donna Ullman. Ullman posted the video on Facebook along with several photos of the Confederate-flag wielding motorcade on Monday. She wrote that her brother was 'seeing blatant voter intimidation and suppression efforts'. In the short clip, the Donald Trump supporters can be heard honking and shouting at individuals entering the polling station.

Donald Trump unveiled a pair of NFL endorsements for his presidential campaign on the eve of Tuesday's election. New England Patriots' Tom Brady, (top right with Trump in 2005), and coach Bill Belichick (bottom right) have both voted for him. Trump told a 11,000 -strong New Hampshire crowd that Brady, the Super Bowl MVP signal-caller whom he called a 'great friend of mine' and 'a great champion', offered his support in a phone call earlier on Monday. And he added that Belichick 'wrote me the most beautiful letter, and it was only two hours ago. So we called back'.

A woman donned a 'full burka' and posed as longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin at a New York City polling station in an attempt to prove the ease with which voter fraud is committed. The video, created by Project Veritas, was posted on YouTube just one day before the elections showing the 'undercover' woman being given an affidavit paper ballot to vote under Abedin's name. It is unclear when the clip was filmed, but a federal judge ruled on Friday night that the New York City Board of Elections must provide affidavit ballots to all voters whose names do not appear on the registration rolls.

A woman ran over her estranged husband and two of his friends before speeding off to a nearby bridge, where she jumped to her death, police said. On Monday morning, the husband emerged from a court hearing at the Family Law Center in Martinez, California, with two women when his wife accelerated and hit all three, police said. The wife reversed and hit one of the women a second time, before police believe she drove to the Benicia Bridge and jumped.

Melanie Liverpool-Turner, 30, (pictured top, at the scene, and bottom right) has been charged with murder for pushing Connie Watton, 49, in front of a moving subway train in New York City on Monday. The two women, who police said did not know each other, were both standing on the downtown platform of the 1 train at the Times Square-42nd Street station (bottom left, authorities on the scene after the incident). Watton was shoved onto the tracks at around 1.20pm and pronounced dead on the scene shortly afterward, a police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Online. A Metropolitan Transportation Authority worker said Liverpool-Turner looked 'proud' as she was led away by police officers moments later. A motive has not been established, but Liverpool-Turner told authorities she pushed a German college student to her death last month, even though police concluded the 19-year-old had committed suicide. Liverpool-Turner underwent a psychiatric exam at Bellevue Hospital, and police sources told the New York Post she has a history of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. But now police are reexamining the 19-year-old's death, to see whether Liverpool-Turner was involved, NBC reported.

A white Seattle teacher has been placed on paid leave after wearing a Michael Jordan costume (right) to school. Peter Colino, a math teacher at Ingraham High School, wore a Michael Jordan rubber mask, the NBA star's Chicago Bulls jersey, a sweatband and black gloves to class on Halloween. A video of Colino in the costume spread throughout the school quickly after it was shared on Snapchat - but it also led to a parent complaining to the principal. Colino has apologized to his students, but said he's worn the same costume to the school for 18 years and insists his intent was to 'honor' Jordan (pictured inset in his pomp in 1998), not cause offense.

The image shows a woman walking through his 96-acre property and seemingly photographed without her knowledge. The woman in the purple dress has blonde hair and is walking away from or past the suspect, whose land was open to public access until he installed a wire fence around the entire perimeter. No clue was given by the suspected serial killer of her identity, but an observer posted underneath it after his arrest: 'Could this be one of his victims?' The woman who discovered the photograph said she believed the police would be interested in it as the identity or sex of two of the victims buried on his land (inset) have yet to be established.

Elwood Edwards (left and right), 67, of Ohio, might drive Uber now, but he once voiced AOL's iconic notifications. A recent Uber rider was elated to learn she was in the car with the 'You've Got Mail' voice and asked if she could record him saying the famous phrases. Barker squeals with excitement as Edwards obliges her request to say the phrases. Edwards is now retired and driving for Uber, but was a long-time voice actor. He booked the job spouting phrases like 'Welcome', 'File's Done' and 'Goodbye' for AOL (inset) after his wife, who worked for Quantum Computer Services (which later became AOL) overheard the company's CEO talking about notifications. The 67-year-old said he recorded the phrases on a cassette tape in his living room for $200.

Brandon (inset) , who goes by the name of Skye Lev, of Memphis, Tennessee, recorded a video during a road rage confrontation of a man unleashing a litany of racial slurs on him (pictured). Lev claims the other driver flipped him off before turning into a parking lot. Lev, who is black, said he initially got angry, but decided his anger wouldn't solve the problem and wanted to have a peaceful discussion with the man about how the confrontation. As he approached the car, Lev rolled down his window to talk to the other man, who was white. Lev said before he could utter a word, the other man began chanting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's name, saying 'Black lives don't matter' and calling Lev a 'n*****'. Lev has posted the video several times to Facebook where it has received hundreds of thousands of views and comments, but the site has removed the video several times. It is currently down on the site. Many have praised Lev for remaining calm during the interaction and not becoming violent as he suffered through the racist tirade.

Now a healthy, happy 13-year-old, Govi Eastwood is unrecognizable from the starved, sickly child who weighed just 20lbs when Johnson County police rescued him in 2010. 'To what happened that night to today, it's just night and day,' said Sgt. Brent Moore. 'You see pictures from World War II,' Moore said. 'He was like that.' Cops had first visited Govi's home in De Soto, Kansas City, on August 17, 2010, where they found filthy, fetid conditions and an 'overwhelming odor of urine and feces.'

Jennifer Hillard was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car outside her home at Alexandria in Minnesota on Sunday night after she allegedly started a fire in her apartment.

Papini said that he'd traced his wife's cell phone using an app that locates lost phones and found it on the side of a road. He said: 'She could drop her phone but she would never in a million years not pick up our children on a time that she normally would have.'

Golden State Warriors star Steph and wife Ayesha Curry have pulled off a flawless version of the Mannequin Challenge, the latest craze to sweep the internet. The Mannequin Challenge is a fad in which an entire room of people stand perfectly still for the duration of a video - like mannequins. The trend though out the different videos is for Rae Sremmurd's new song 'Black Beatles' to play while the challenge is attempted. And over the weekend Steph and Ayesha Curry were the latest to attempt the Mannequin Challenge during the last night of their San Francisco pop-up restaurant International Smoke, People reported. The NBA star posted the video on Instagram with the caption 'Sooooo. This Happened!' In the clip, dozens of guests in the restaurant freeze as the camera passes through.

The emergence of humans accounts for just a blink in the timeline of our planet - but in the short period that humans have lived on Earth, populations have risen to staggering numbers. A new animation from the American Museum of Natural History shows the exponential growth of our species, from less than a million people when modern humans began migrating out of Africa about 100,000 years ago to more than 7.2 billion alive today. The most dramatic increase has occurred only recently; while it took humans roughly 200,000 years to reach a population of 1 billion, it took just 200 years beyond that to get to where we are now.
