| U.S. vice presidential contenders Kaine, Pence blast Trump, Clinton at debate | | Wednesday, October 05, 2016 2:20 AM | |
|  By Ginger Gibson and Alana Wise FARMVILLE, Va. (Reuters) - Democrat Tim Kaine accused Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of breaking a promise to release his tax records in a debate on Tuesday where the vice presidential contenders bickered and interrupted each other. Trump's vice presidential nominee, Mike Pence, defended Trump days after a New York Times report gave ammunition to the Democratic case against Trump by reporting he may not have paid federal taxes for 18 years. The debate at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, was lively from the start as Kaine, the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, honed in on Trump's refusal thus far to reveal his tax records, saying he had broken a promise to do so.

| Australian government offers support but little sympathy for racetrack strippers | | Wednesday, October 05, 2016 1:29 AM | |
| | By Tom Westbrook SYDNEY (Reuters) - Nine Australians detained by police for stripping down to their underwear at Sunday's Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix must face the consequences of their "foolish prank," Australia's foreign minister said Wednesday. The case has also drawn attention in Australia, prompting debate over the country's tolerance of uncouth behaviour by its citizens abroad. "There's no excuse in saying this is just Aussie behaviour, that this is just a prank that would be seen as a minor matter in Australia, you have to respect the laws of the country you're visiting," Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told Australia's Channel Nine. |
| Clinton hits Trump over comments on women ahead of vice presidential debate | |  By Amanda Becker HAVERFORD, Pa. (Reuters) - Democrat Hillary Clinton slammed Republican Donald Trump on Tuesday for making disparaging comments about women's physical appearance, accusing Trump of taking the issue of female body image "to a new level of difficulty and meanness." Hours before vice presidential candidates Tim Kaine and Mike Pence face off in Virginia in their sole debate, Clinton urged women at an event in the Philadelphia suburbs billed as a "family town hall" to stand up to online bullying about how they look. "It's shocking when women are called names and judged solely on the basis of physical attributes," the Democratic presidential nominee said in response to a 15-year-old girl's question about the problem of body image and the "damage Donald Trump does" when he talks about how women look.

| Exclusive - Yahoo secretly scanned customer emails for U.S. intelligence: sources | |  By Joseph Menn SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc last year secretly built a custom software program to search all of its customers' incoming emails for specific information provided by U.S. intelligence officials, according to people familiar with the matter. The company complied with a classified U.S. government demand, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said three former employees and a fourth person apprised of the events. Some surveillance experts said this represents the first case to surface of a U.S. Internet company agreeing to an intelligence agency's request by searching all arriving messages, as opposed to examining stored messages or scanning a small number of accounts in real time.

| Colombia's 'no' to peace deal could hit U.S. aid | |  By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Colombia's rejection of a deal to end 52 years of civil war will not end U.S. plans to send significant aid next year, although it might prompt lawmakers to keep back some of the $450 million that had been expected, congressional aides said on Tuesday. While spending plans for fiscal 2017 will not be final until late this year, the Senate and House of Representatives had been expected to approve $400 million in development aid, and roughly $50 million in counternarcotics assistance for Colombia for the year ending on Sept. 30, 2017. U.S. support for Colombia is expected to remain strong, although Congress could reduce the appropriation if renewed peace efforts go badly, the aides said.
