Obama and Romney clash in spiky debate

Obama and Romney clashed on the debate floor over energy policy
US President Barack Obama has hit out at Republican Mitt Romney during a feisty 90-minute encounter in the second of three pre-election debates.
Mr Obama - widely perceived to have lost their first encounter - came out swinging in New York on the economy, tax and foreign policy.
But the former Massachusetts governor accused Mr Obama of broken promises and a record of failure.
The pair meet for a final pre-election debate in Florida on 22 October.
As he battles for a second term, the Democratic president has been trying to hold on to dwindling leads in the nine key swing states that are expected to decide the election on 6 November.
In the town hall-style forum at Hofstra University on Long Island, both men freely roamed the stage, circling, interrupting and at times heckling one another as they took questions from an audience of 80 undecided voters.
The moderator, CNN's Candy Crowley, often had to intervene to keep order between the rivals as each fought to make his point.

Can the world keep its promises on schools?

Long road to learning: Tanzania has been held up as an example of progress
The millennium pledge made by international leaders that all children would have a primary education by 2015 is going to be "missed by a large margin".
That's the stark conclusion of a report published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco).
Despite an initial surge that saw tens of millions of extra children enrolling in primary schools, the report says progress is now "grinding to a halt".
The report, published in Paris on Tuesday, shows the number of children without this basic level of education has fallen from 108 million to 61 million in the first decade of this century.
It means that since 2000, the percentage of the world's children entering primary education has risen from 80% to 90%.
It's a leap forward, but some distance from reaching the finishing line.
"It is simply unacceptable that out-of-school numbers have stagnated, and in Africa have risen," said Gordon Brown, former UK prime minister and now UN global education envoy.
But he added: "Now is not the time for defeatism and despair," and called on the international community to "redouble our efforts".
'Stagnated' Pauline Rose, director of the Education for All Global Monitoring Report, says the drive for universal primary education had enjoyed an initial "honeymoon period" with strong political backing and financial support.
If that early rate of progress had been maintained, the target would have been achieved, she says.
