Calling on voters to 'reject a media and political elite that has bled our country dry', he added: 'It's going to be amazing. We're going to drain the swamp,' speaking in vital swing state North Carolina. Mr Trump's best chance of snatching victory was hampered by the FBI's decision to drop its investigation into Mrs Clinton's emails, but the billionaire used the bureau's 11th-hour intervention to revive his claims that the election is rigged and that his opponent has been reckless with state secrets. And amid accusations that he has been the most Machiavellian FBI boss since the notorious J Edgar Hoover, under-fire Mr Comey faces serving one of two candidates, both of whom have publicly effectively accused him of political bias.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump reunited with their families on the campaign trail Monday evening at a pair of swing-state rallies that marked the beginning of the end of their respective presidential campaigns. President Obama delivered a stirring defense of Hillary Clinton at a large outdoor rally in Philadelphia, one of the last events of her campaign. Clinton took the stage after Obama and hailed him and his family's 'grace, strength, brilliance, and a whole lot of cool.' Trump, his adult children - Tiffany, Eric, Don Jr. and Ivanka - their spouses - Lara, Vanessa and Jared - and his VP pick, Mike Pence, campaigned in Manchester, New Hampshire. The White House candidate's wife Melania and young son Barron were noticeably absent from the family portrait.

Later this week we will be commemorating the sacrifice of those who fought for Britain. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. On the first day alone, British forces suffered 57,000 casualties. Many of the dead and wounded soldiers were teenagers, some as young as 16. Hundreds of thousands of young men crossed the Channel to join the bloody fray because it was considered the patriotic thing to do. These days the passage of men of military age is all in the opposite direction as 'refugees' flood across Europe trying to enter Britain. Plenty of them succeed, too, even though they really should have no legal right to come here. We're all well aware of the racket which has allowed male migrants in their 20s to be given sanctuary by pretending to be 16 or under. When did the state start regarding grown men of 25 as 'children'? When I was 25, I was married with two kids and a mortgage. More to the point, millions of men have fought and died in wars well before they reached that age.

You've heard of the Rich Kids of Instagram: those spoiled twenty somethings who love nothing more than flaunting their wealth online. Then there is the Rich Kids app, an exclusive club where some of the 25,000 members pay £890 a month to post their self-obsessed pictures, in a bid to weed out fake heirs. It's just been banned by Apple for violating its terms - to its narcissistic stars' frustration. So just who are these obnoxious rich kids? Sarah Rainey holds her nose and takes a look.

After months of speculation, the line-up of stars heading into the Australian jungle to battle it out on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has finally been unveiled. The new pack of brave celebs have changed into their outback outfits for the first official photos - giving viewers a hint of what they can expect from the dramatic launch on November 13. This year's celebs are, as ever, a diverse bunch, including TV legend Carol Vorderman, George Clooney's model ex Lisa Snowdon, reality favourite Scarlett Moffatt, and hunky Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas. The group will find themselves sharing the famed jungle camp with some equally notable faces from across the world of sport and entertainment. Also making their way into the Outback jungle are former England footballer Wayne Bridge, Olympian Sam Quek and ex EastEnders villain Larry Lamb. The line-up is rounded off with the addition of Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo and comedian Joel Dommett.

Legendary radio broadcaster Sir Jimmy Young (inset) started his showbusiness career as a singer. But the arrival of rock 'n' roll spelled the end of his chart-topping success and he was left anxious and depressed before turning to an astrologer who saved his career. He went on to become the voice of Middle England, a broadcaster whose amiable interviewing style earned him the respect of colleagues (top right with Tony Blackburn and Terry Wogan) and politicians from all parties (left with Margaret Thatcher in 1980 and bottom right with Labour MP Denis Healey).

Michelle Taylor, 36, from Surrey (right) is among the women choosing to leave their children and go out to work when every penny they earn - and more - goes straight out to pay for childcare. But she is certainly not alone. She's one of a growing number of women - including single mother-of-four Allie Leighton, 36 (centre) and mother-of-one Tara Robbins, 25 (left), who would rather pay for childcare -whatever the cost - in order to keep their careers on track.

Some Labour MPs have reached the stage that when Speaker Bercow yesterday called David Davis (right) to make a Statement and referred to his title as minister for 'Exiting the European Union', they laughed at the very notion, writes QUENTIN LETTS. Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry (left) - London lawyer - curled her lip like a stale samosa. Through much of Mr Davis's speech she maintained a low murmur of heckles.

Matthew Baker, 28, top, and James Anthony Whitlock, 31, below, believed to be cell mates, escaped HMP Pentonville (main), in north London, in an audacious Alcatraz-style break out after leaving mannequins in their cell beds in a bid to avoid detection. Baker had been awaiting sentencing after he was found guilty of attempted murder. Whitlock was on remand charged with attempted burglary. A prison source claims the men used diamond-tipped cutting equipment to break out of the cell they shared within the category B prison before they scaled the perimeter wall. The bid has echoes of the notorious 1962 Alcatraz prison break (inset), when US inmates created mannequin heads out of paper, paint and hair purloined from the prison barber shop and left them in their beds while they escaped.

Twitter users are convinced a mystery clip featuring an adorable Boxer dog watching a little girl bounce on a spacehopper is a teaser for this year's John Lewis Christmas ad after it was posted on online this morning. Fans declared it would emotionally 'destroy' viewers and many said that having a cute dog in the starring role would definitely leave them in floods of tears.

David Buchler, who ran Spurs in the early 90s and oversaw Sir Alan Sugar's takeover of the north-London club, is accused of punching a shopper after getting into a dispute with his wife at the till. The spat, On New Year's Eve, kicked off after Buchler pushed to the front of the queue to pay for two croissants in the top store's food hall, the court was told. Buchler, 54 claims that either James Birrane or his wife Rosaria, called him a 'dirty Jew'. But Isleworth Crown Court heard that he pushed to the front of the queue and when Mrs Birrane remonstrated he told her to 'f*** off' before punching her husband who stepped in.

Meghan Markle dined with one of her 'closest friends in the world', Markus Anderson, on Friday at one of their favorite spots, Cafe Boulud, inside the Four Seasons in Toronto. Markus is understood to have set up a date between the TV star, 35, and the British Royal, with whom he is also on friendly terms, the Mail on Sunday reported this weekend. Meghan and Harry are believed to have carried on their trans-Atlantic love affair for several months after Harry bombarded her with texts. Best friend Markus is a consultant for the Soho House Group and former global membership director at the exclusive club where he worked his way up from being a waiter to the right-hand man of founder Nick Jones. Markus Anderson has been part of Meghan's inner circle for a number of years and has several photos with her on social media. This summer, they jetted to Madrid with a third friend, fashion designer Misha Nonoo (pictured bottom left with the pair).

The trespasser (pictured) jumped onto the tracks at Norwood Junction, south London, at around 6pm. He then took off his shirt and begun blurting out expletive-laden lyrics while station staff urged him to move. Police with Tasers arrived to detain the man, but he ran away down the darkened track towards East Croydon before officers could reach him.

A group of MPs claim to have found a recording device (circled) during private discussions after an unannounced visit to Sports Direct's controversial warehouse in Derbyshire. Members of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee travelled to Shirebrook for an on-the-spot inspection on Monday afternoon and were taken on a three-hour tour of the premises. After the visit, the six MPs headed for a private room to discuss their impressions when they said a recording device was found, with one MP posting pictures on Twitter. Anna Turley, MP for Redcar (left inset), revealed the camera was planted by a woman dropping off coronation chicken sandwiches. Another MP revealed that he had 'not a particularly pleasant conversation' with company owner Mike Ashley (right inset) following the visit.

Since the conflict erupted with anti-government protests in 2011, 300,000 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict. And the west has singularly failed to find a solution. The US financed the opposition party in Syria to take control. In failing to do so - ISIS attacked. The British have singularly failed to act apart from endless propaganda that Assad is evil. Ignoring the fact we have failed to differentiate between rebels and terrorists such as the al-Qaida-linked Fatah Sham Front. Years of pathetic foreign policy decisions by Blairites, the Clinton's and the Obama administration delivered the birth of ISIS and made Iran a super power in the Middle East. And the best we can do is weep over pictures of dead children, writes KATIE HOPKINS.

The man appears to use only his left hand to cling on to the outside of a second floor flat while painting the windows with his other hand in the street in Glasgow, Scotland. Witnesses said he left the property through the window before carrying out the dangerous task, branding him 'fearless' but 'stupid'. He was painting windows above a basement and railings, flouting health and safety laws that can lead to fines of tens of thousands of pounds.

Jade Jackson (pictured above), of Paisley, Renfrewshire, had originally avoided prison despite telling the schoolgirl that she would knife her during a Facebook argument. But the 21-year-old, who is the niece of serial killer Peter Tobin (centre), was imprisoned at Paisley Sheriff Court today for failing to complete unpaid work or meet social workers for court-ordered counselling. Jackson had smiled and waved at friends from the dock as she looked around the room - but this turned to tears when she was jailed by Sheriff Thomas Fyfe. The troll, whose late father is Tobin's brother, sent her victim a chilling Snapchat image of her holding a knife to her face during the hate-filled campaign. She used a Facebook profile in the fake name of Jade Brown to terrorise the schoolgirl after accusing her of speaking to her boyfriend.

They look like images that a child might dream up about Christmas. And this year festive scenes captured after photographing paper sculptures feature on the Royal Mail's special set of stamps this year. Most people will be seeing a robin redbreast and a snowman in a blue scarf on the envelopes of cards they receive this year as they are the first and second class stamps. The set is completed with a bauble-heavy Christmas tree for £1.05; a stocking filled with presents at £1.52 and a Christmas pudding at £2.25. They were created by Manchester-based artist Helen Musselwhite, who made the festive scenes by photographing paper sculptures.

The man, known only by his first name, Ramulu, was trying to take his wife, Kavitha, back to her home town after she died near a railway station in Hyderabad, western India. But he had less than £12 on him and was told that the ambulance to take her there would cost £60. So he decided to attempt to carry her there by creating a makeshift stretcher and dragging her behind him. But he had only got as far as the town of Vikarabad in Telangana State when he collapsed in tears from exhaustion.

The hypocrisy of the coffee chains that have muscled into every High Street to sell us their overpriced, over-large and overly milky beverages is staggering. Starbucks is typical. The American behemoth boasts that it cares deeply about the planet, coffee farmers and the environment.Yet every day it churns out a mountain of one-use coffee cups, lids and insulating sleeves that despoil the streets, litter the countryside and fill our rubbish bins. According to estimates, Starbucks, Costa, Caffe Nero, Pret a Manger and the like dish out seven million single-use paper and plastic coffee cups a day. That's 2.5 billion a year in Britain alone, or 10,000 every two minutes. Despite all the green promises, only one in 400 of these disposable cups is recycled. The remaining 399 are thrown into general waste bins to be incinerated or, more likely, end up in landfill. While you might think a mostly paper cup would decompose quickly, you'd be wrong.

Jamie Leigh Twidale, 24, was bathing her children Harley, four, and Skyelar, three, at their home in Hartlepool, County Durham. As she was emptying the water, she suffered an epileptic fit, collapsed and died last Sunday night. Little Harley and Skyelar (pictured with their mother) thought she had fallen asleep and spent the night naked, putting themselves to bed. It wasn't until the children failed to turn up for school the next day, that alarms were raised. Jamie Leigh's mother Elizabeth was phoned by their school and when she went to check on her family she found her daughter's body slumped over the bath tub.

Coupon queen Kerenza Richards has already bought all her gifts, ready to put under the Christmas tree - and she managed to bag £600 worth of goodies for her children Chloe, ten, and Connor, four, for just £6 (inset). And presents for her partner of eight-and-a-half years David Dancy, including a designer watch, as well as alcohol and household good worth £650 were also sewn up for £4. Frugal mother-of-two Kerenza, from Highbridge, Somerset, has spent the past year building up her Christmas haul - and by using online voucher codes, special offers and competitions, she has saved hundreds of pounds. Kerenza got Furbys worth £100 each for £2, Lego worth £89.99 for £2.23 and Ninja Turtles Toys worth £69.99 for free (all main picture) while paying next to nothing for lots of other items like cleaning products and food. The only thing Kerenza still needs to buy is her Christmas dinner, but she's confident that she'll be able to feed five adults and three children for free - even though a typical festive food shop would normally cost her around £200.

Fiona Simpson (pictured left) didn't feed four snakes and kept them in an unheated tank in one of the worst cases of neglect experts had ever seen (pictured bottom right). RSPCA inspectors found a corn snake 'lying in stinking yellow liquid' with its nostrils 'crusted over' when they raided her home following a tip-off. A boa constrictor had rotting skin in its jaws that left it 'wheezing and blowing bubbles from its mouth' (shown top right) and two more were 'neglected to the point of emaciation'. Simpson, of Alvaston, Derby, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to the animals and was handed a 12-month community order. She was also ordered to pay £700 costs and banned from keeping animals for life at South Derbyshire Magistrates Court on Friday.

The face, which resembles the famous ghost from the 2002 horror film The Ring, seemed to appear in the middle of the mysterious picture which was taken at the Newsham Park Hospital in Liverpool. Host Phil Barron, 45, was leading the 32-strong group at the former Victorian orphanage when he unwittingly snapped the photograph. The orphanage dates back to the Victorian era and was opened in 1874 to support and educate the orphans of British seamen. Legend has it that conditions there were harsh and cruel and after being converted into a hospital it's now home to a maze of corridors, wards, accommodation blocks, chapel and even a morgue.

Melanie Liverpool-Turner, 30, (pictured top, at the scene, and bottom right) has been accused of pushing Connie Watton, 49, to her death in front of a moving subway train in New York City on Monday. They 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 lied and 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.

The astonishing TV which showed marine iguanas attempting to outrun a knot of racer snakes on Fernandina Island was labelled 'the stuff of nightmares' by viewers as they hid behind the sofa. Hatchlings could be seen emerging from the sand of the Galápagos island in the Pacific Ocean in June for what is the snakes' best feeding opportunity of the year. The footage on BBC1 showed some iguanas outrun the snakes to safety by the sea while others were caught before the snakes wrapped themselves around them. When the crew saw the snakes for the first time, they were too shocked to film - and host Sir David Attenborough had never seen anything like it either, it was claimed. Among the millions of viewers captivated by the footage shown at 8pm last night was Olympic rower Will Satch, who described it as a 'real life horror film'.

CCTV shows them entering the supermarket in South Holland, Netherlands, carrying sacks - before scurrying out moments later empty-handed because they had set off a smoke cannon. The break-in at the Albert Heijn supermarket has been branded the worst burglary ever by locals.

A New York-based artist has re-imagined the Disney princesses from their classic form into modern, plus sized glamours ready to take on the world. Jonquel Norwood (inset) drew princesses like Jasmine from Aladdin (right) and Cinderella (left) after she was fat shamed herself growing up. She said she wanted to make a difference, and show little girls more diverse versions of their favourite princesses.

House-proud chimpanzee Elya was filmed using a rag to wipe the windows of her enclosure clean at a zoo in the city of Rostov on Don, south-western Russia. She was also filmed trying to grab a keeper's brush to sweep the floor clean, but broke it trying to pull it into the enclosure. Keepers installed new windows as part of an upgrade of the chimpanzee's enclosure to improve the facility for animals and visitors.

Mark Glindmeyer, from Jersey City, wisely wore protective goggles for the procedure, which saw the snow white Persian regularly batting him away. Cookie grew increasingly irritated, meowing angrily and lashing out at Mark's face with her paws. She also tried to bite the purple brush that was being used to clean her coat, but to no avail.
