Hillary Clinton returns to tightening White House race
Hillary Clinton returned to the campaign fray in a tightening race against Republican Donald Trump, who released new details of his physical fitness in response to the health scare that sidelined his rival.
Seeking to turn the page after her poorly handled bout with pneumonia, Clinton was headed to North Carolina and then the US capital Washington as she resumed the White House race after a three-day convalescence.
"Welcome back to 'Stronger Together,'" the Democratic nominee quipped cheerily to reporters on board her campaign plane.
Asked how she was feeling, the 68-year-old former secretary of state replied: "I am doing great, thank you so much!"

Football: Mourinho rocked on Europa return as Feyenoord down Man United
Jose Mourinho's reluctant return to the Europa League ended in embarrassment as Tonny Vilhena fired Feyenoord to a 1-0 win over Manchester United in their Group A opener.
For a man with a keen eye for his position in the football hierarchy, competing in the Europa League for the first time in 13 years was an unappetising prospect for Mourinho and his players seemed equally uninspired as a much-changed United line-up succumbed to Vilhena's late strike at De Kuip.
It was United's second consecutive defeat after Saturday's painful loss to bitter rivals Manchester City in the Premier League and Mourinho will hope his decision to make eight changes against Feyenoord is rewarded with a victory when they return to domestic action at Watford on Sunday.

Grime hip-hop artist Skepta was awarded Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize for his album Konnichiwa in recognition of a resurgent home-grown genre.
As he presented the prize, Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker paid tribute to late rock legend David Bowie who had been tipped to win a posthumous award for Blackstar, released just days before his death in January.
"We as a jury decided that if David Bowie was looking down on the Hammersmith Apollo tonight he would want the 2016 Hyundai Mercury Prize to go to Skepta," Cocker said in a ceremony at the London venue.
