2. Hillary Clinton accepts Democratic nomination
In case you missed it: Hillary Clinton has formally accepted the Democratic party's presidential nomination.
Clinton, a former secretary of state, is the first woman to be chosen to run for the top job by a major party in the United States.
The 68-year-old Democrat was clearly emotional as she walked onto the stage at the Thursday night event in Philadelphia.
"Powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart," she told the cheering crowd.
"It truly is up to us. We have to decide whether we all will work together so we all can rise together."
Wearing an elegant white pant suit, Clinton also accused Donald Trump him of capitalising on fear to divide the country.
"Ask yourself: Do you really think Donald Trump has the temperament to be commander in chief? Donald Trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign," she said.
"A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons."
Republican nominee Trump, in kind, fired back in a series of tweets calling her "crooked Hillary."

5. Local MP covers up Mila Kunis poster
An Australian MP from Queensland has covered up a promotional poster for the Mila Kunis film Bad Moms -- because the actress is pictured flipping the bird.
Federal member for Moreton, Graham Perrett, says the poster is "inappropriate."
The actress' hands are pixelated in the poster, but Mr Perrett feels the poster is still in bad taste, he told The Brisbane Times.
He is calling on the council, Adshel and Roadshow Films to remove the advertising.
The movie -- which also stars Kristen Bell, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate -- is about over-worked, stressed-out mothers on a quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities.
