Clinton and Obama set for TV debate

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama looked set to engage in a heated debate as the former First Lady tried to get her presidential campaign back on track.

Since taking part in a mostly civil debate in Austin, Texas, five days ago, the two rivals for the Democratic Party's nomination have clashed over style, campaign leaflets, and foreign policy as the race intensifies ahead of the crucial March 4 contests next week.

A row over who released a picture of Mr Obama in traditional African robes also continued, with his team accusing Mrs Clinton's supporters of trying to perpetuate false rumours that he is a Muslim; they deny any involvement.
