Hillary Clinton has been forced into an embarrassing climb down after being caught out elaborating an anecdote on the campaign trail.
"I say a lot of things - millions of words a day - so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," said Hillary Clinton as she apologised today.
More than once she's told how she landed under sniper fire on a visit to Bosnia as First Lady 12 years ago - and had to run with her head down to vehicles waiting on the tarmac.
But now video has emerged showing her calmly walking from the plane into a rather more peaceful scene, she's changed her story.
