| Democrat Kaine takes aim at Trump in U.S. vice presidential debate with Republican Pence | |  By Ginger Gibson and Alana Wise FARMVILLE, Va. (Reuters) - Democrat Tim Kaine tried to make the vice presidential debate all about Donald Trump on Tuesday, calling the Republican presidential nominee a danger to U.S. national security and someone who denigrates women and minorities and appears to pay little in federal taxes. The debate between Kaine, the No. 2 to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and his Republican rival, Mike Pence, was the only such encounter between the vice presidential contenders, and the two spent most of their time attacking each other's running mates.

| Pence takes harder line than Trump on Russia at contentious VP debate | |  By Ginger Gibson and Alana Wise FARMVILLE, Va. (Reuters) - U.S. Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "small and bullying leader" on Tuesday and condemned his actions in Syria, taking a harder line than Donald Trump at a contentious debate with Democratic rival Tim Kaine. Pence's denunciation of Putin for his interference in the Syrian civil war and support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was a departure from the frequent praise of Putin by Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, who has called him a better leader than U.S. President Barack Obama and said he could work with him. "The small and bullying leader of Russia is now dictating terms to the United States," Pence said.

| After protests, North Carolina police release video of black man's slaying | |  Police in North Carolina released graphic camera footage of the shooting and death of a black man by officers in Charlotte last month, and a lawyer for the family said the video does not offer evidence supporting a police narrative that he was holding a gun. The death of Keith Scott, a 43-year-old father of seven, was one of the latest to raise questions about racial bias in U.S. law enforcement and further stoke a national debate on America's criminal justice system ahead of November's presidential election. Protesters and family members have demanded Charlotte-Mecklenburg police release full police body camera footage in part to back up the police narrative that Scott was armed during the September 20 shooting.

| Australian government offers support but little sympathy for racetrack strippers | | | 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. |
| Colombia government, rebels in crisis talks after 'No' to peace deal | |  By Marc Frank and Helen Murphy HAVANA/BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's government and Marxist guerrillas went back to the drawing board in Havana on Tuesday after a peace deal they painstakingly negotiated over four years was rejected in a shock referendum result. In a vote that confounded opinion polls and was a disaster for President Juan Manuel Santos, Colombians narrowly rebuffed the pact on Sunday as too lenient on the rebels. Lead negotiators Humberto de la Calle and Sergio Jaramillo were back at a Havana convention center on Tuesday meeting counterparts from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to see what the rebels are willing to do, the government said.

| 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.
