Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go head to head in the first presidential debate tonight. A record audience of 100m viewers is expected to watch.

The Democratic candidate will seek to provoke her Republican rival into one of his characteristic outbursts, while Mr Trump’s aim must be to show he can maintain a presidential air.

Either way, with Ms Clinton holding only a razor-thin edge in the polls over her opponent, it is sure to be gripping television and a potentially pivotal moment in the election race.
