Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will lock horns in Las Vegas in the final US presidential debate before next month's election.

The two candidates will go head to head at the University of Nevada, 10 days after a tense second debate which saw Mr Trump threaten to jail Mrs Clinton if he was elected.

Fox News host Chris Wallace is moderating the third election clash, which will cover six topics - debt and entitlements, immigration, economy, the Supreme Court, foreign hotspots and fitness to be president.

Mr Trump is facing a battle to win over undecided voters, with multiple polls showing Mrs Clinton is leading the race to the White House.

Ahead of the third debate, the Republican nominee has faced claims of sexual misconduct from a number of women, including a former contestant on the US version of The Apprentice.

Mr Trump has insisted the allegations are “100% made up”, while his wife Melania said they were co-ordinated by his political rivals, telling Fox News: “They want to damage the presidency of my husband.”

The claims surfaced after the publication of Mr Trump’s lewd comments in a 2005 video recording, in which he talks about grabbing women “by the p***y”.

With less than three weeks remaining before Americans go to the polls, Mr Trump has claimed the November 8 election will be rigged in favour of Mrs Clinton, tweeting that “there is large-scale voter fraud happening on and before election day”.

His remarks prompted President Barack Obama to urge Mr Trump to “stop whining”, while a number of prominent Republicans have rejected claims of election rigging.
