Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has

stepped up her attacks on rival Donald
Trump, labelling him a "bully" for
criticising women for their looks.
Mrs Clinton said Mr Trump had a 30-year
history of "demeaning, degrading, insulting
and assaulting" women.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump has branded Mrs
Clinton "corrupt" and said she would
"destroy American healthcare forever".
He told early Clinton voters with "buyer's
remorse" they could change their vote in
four states.

The clashes came as the fractious contest entered its final week,
with opinion polls appearing to show the race getting tighter.
The prospect of a Trump presidency sent Asian financial markets
tumbling - appearing to confirm some analysts' view that the markets
believe a Clinton victory would bring more stability for the US
economy.

Speaking in Florida - and appearing on stage with former Miss

Universe Alicia Machado, who has previously claimed Mr Trump
once called her "Miss Piggy" after she put on weight - Mrs Clinton
said she had "learned way back in elementary school that it's not OK
to insult people".
For her part, Ms Machado called Mr Trump "cruel" and said she had
spent years "sick, fighting back eating disorders" as a result of the
Republican nominee's comments.

President Obama campaigned in the battleground state of Ohio

Echoing Mrs Clinton's comments at a rally in Ohio, President Barack

Obama said the Republican candidate had spent a "lifetime calling
women pigs and dogs and slobs".
The focus on Mr Trump's treatment of women coincided with a new
TV advert put out by the Democrats which showed archive footage
of Mr Trump making remarks such as: "Putting a wife to work is a
very dangerous thing."
The Republican nominee has faced a string of sexual harassment
allegations in the last month, after a 2005 video tape that saw him
making obscene remarks about women emerged.
He has denied any wrongdoing and threatened to sue those involved
after the election.

Donald Trump was welcomed to the stage by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

Donald Trump focused his attacks on the Affordable Care Act,

dubbed Obamacare, which he believes is becoming increasingly
unpopular with low income families he needs to vote for him, amid
reports of higher premiums and less choice.
Appearing on stage with his running mate Mike Pence and Governor
Scott Walker in Wisconsin, Mr Trump called Obamacare "a
catastrophe" and said he would immediately convene a special
session of Congress to repeal and replace it if he becomes
president.

'Character attacks are routine' - Laura Trevelyan, BBC News,

Washington
The final days of this campaign are devoid of the uplifting closing
arguments which presidential contenders usually deploy.

Instead, negativity and character attacks are routine.

Though the race appears to be tightening in the wake of the FBI's
decision to look at new emails relating to their investigation of Mrs
Clinton, Democrats have an advantage in the electoral map - while
Donald Trump has fewer paths to the crucial 270 votes required to
win the presidency
He also urged early voters who had "made a mistake" by voting for
Mrs Clinton to change their ballots before Thursday's deadline.
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania allow early vote
switches but the practice is extremely rare, according to the Early
Voting Information Center at Reed College.
Both sides also continued to spar over the recent revelation that FBI
investigators are again probing Mrs Clinton's email practices on
Tuesday.
The revelation has put Democrats on the defensive and hurt Mrs
Clinton's plans to promote a positive message over the campaign's
final week.
