1. Trump responds to sexism charge
Donald Trump said a New York Times report, based on interviews with dozens of women, on his “unwelcome romantic advances”, “unending commentary on the female form” and more, was false.
Summary
One of the women in the story, a former model whom Trump asked to try on a bikini moments after meeting her at a party at his house, said the story was biased – against Trump.
‘I never said that he “paraded” me’
Trump sees media conspiracy
The media is really on a witch-hunt against me. False reporting, and plenty of it - but we will prevail!

Summary
All these stories that come out... people just don’t care. I think people … say: ‘Who’s going to bring an earthquake to Washington DC?’
– Republican chairman Reince Priebus
2. London mayor: Trump ‘ignorant’
Sadiq Khan, the newly elected mayor of London and a Muslim, said Trump’s views on Islam were “ignorant” and “inadvertently playing into the hands of the extremists”.
‘Your views on Islam are ignorant’
3. Trump challenges Khan to IQ test
“Let’s do an IQ test,” Trump said. “When he won I wished him well. Now, I don’t care about him … He doesn’t know me, never met me … Tell him I will remember those statements.”
4. Clinton: no cabinet post for Bill
Asked whether she might include her husband in her cabinet, Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton found a one-word answer: No. “I’m going to put him in charge of revitalising the economy,” she said earlier.
