There was no handshake at the start - and relations between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in their second 90-minute debate didn't really improve from there.

Here's how each candidate fared when the main controversies of the election campaign were raised.

:: Donald Trump's lewd remarks

The Republican nominee denied bragging about sexually assaulting women in a 2005 recording and dismissed it as "locker room talk" - describing it as a distraction from the fight against Islamic State.

Hillary Clinton says the video represents exactly who he is and alleges Mr Trump has insulted women and embarrassed women throughout his campaign - as well as immigrants, African-Americans and people with disabilities.

:: Bill Clinton claims

Mr Trump claimed although he had said bad things, Mrs Clinton's husband had done bad things - with allegations swirling about sexual misdeeds.

When speaking about the former president, the billionaire said: "There has never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that's been so abusive to women." 

In response, Mrs Clinton quoted the words of current First Lady Michelle Obama, saying: "When they go low, you go high."

:: Hillary Clinton's email server scandal

Mr Trump vowed to get a special prosecutor to look into the deletion of 33,000 of Mrs Clinton's emails if elected - telling her: "People's lives have been destroyed for doing a fifth of what you've done."

There were roars from the audience, and Mrs Clinton said Mr Trump needed fact-checking, telling the audience: "It's awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in control of the country."

He was fast in replying: "Because you'd be in jail."

:: Muslims in America

Mrs Clinton criticised her rival's "demagogic rhetoric" about Muslims, and warned it plays into the hands of terrorists to say that the US is at war with Islam.

Mr Trump was asked about his plan to introduce a shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, after his vice-presidential running mate said that policy had been suspended.

The Republican nominee said his policy had morphed into "extreme vetting" - and said Mrs Clinton's plans to increase the number of Syrian refugees in the US by 550% was going to be "the great Trojan horse of all time" because intelligence officials "have no idea who they are and where they are from".

:: Clinton's "deplorables" comment

One of the moderators confronted the Democrat about her description of half of Mr Trump's supporters as "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic" and belonging in a "basket of deplorables" - and asked how she could unite a country if she had written off tens of thousands of Americans.

She replied: "Within hours, I said I was sorry about the way I talked about that. My argument is not with his supporters… it's with him and the hateful and divisive campaign he has run and the inciting of violence at his rallies."

Mr Trump shot back: "We have a divided nation because of people like her. And believe me, she has tremendous hate in her heart. When she said 'deplorables', she meant it."

:: Respect

The last question of the debate was something of a wildcard: can you name one positive thing that you respect in one another?

Mrs Clinton focused on Mr Trump's children, saying: "(They) are incredibly able and devoted, and that says a lot about Donald."

He said: "I will say this about Hillary - she doesn't give in, she doesn't give up. She does fight hard. I consider that to be a very good trait."
