Donald Trump, while addressing his supporters in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday (Oct 28), said he is "not a Nazi”, in a rally in the final week of the White House race. He made the remarks following the accusations of authoritarianism and being termed as fascist by the critics.&nbsp;

Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris, who is also participating in the race to become the next president, accused Trump of aggravating divisions between groups or individuals.

Trump told his supporters in Georgia that his critics were labelling him as the modern-day "Hitler."&nbsp;

"The newest line from Kamala and her campaign is that everyone who isn't voting for her is a Nazi," the former US president told a raucous rally in Atlanta.

"I'm not a Nazi. I'm the opposite of a Nazi," he said.

The comments came after Republican candidate Trump held a major rally in Madison Square Garden, where the comments made by his allies were criticised as racist.&nbsp;

In a disturbing incident from China, a woman in her 20s reportedly became a “stiff wooden person” after getting scolded at her workplace.&nbsp;

The woman, identified as Li, hails from central China’s Henan province. She suddenly became unresponsive that she could no longer eat, drink move or engage in conversation, according to a report by Chinese media outlet Hongxing News on October 15.

The report says Li was rebuked by her team leader a month ago, which led to her prolonged dejection. Her condition worsened as the days passed, so much so that her head would hang in mid-air if her family removed the pillow beneath it.&nbsp;

Li has to be reminded to use the toilet by her family, as she can no longer keep a tab on her physical cues.&nbsp;

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris narrowly leads Republican rival Donald Trump in the US presidential race, according to the latest opinion poll by statistical website FiveThirtyEight, just days ahead of Election Day.

The data from its daily election poll tracker also reveals that the US vice president's razor-thin edge has slightly decreased over the past two months, while Trump has secured a 0.9 percentage-point gain since October 1.

However, after factoring in the Electoral College outcome, the US pollster says its model shows Trump has a 54 out of 100 chance of winning the election, while Harris has a 46 out of 100 chance.

The Labour Party has suspended its MP Mike Amesbury after a video appeared to show him punching a man, British media reported on Sunday (Oct 27). Amesbury had been the Labour MP from Runcorn and Helsby. A report by The Guardian said that the incident occurred last Friday (October 25) in Frodsham. The party's decision means that Amesbury, 55, would not be counted as a Labour MP until further notice. 'You won't threaten me again, will you?' The video of the incident, published by the Mail, appeared to show Amesbury punching the man in the face and knocking him to the ground, before standing over him and aiming six more blows at his head.

The Guardian report said that the 55-year-old's suspension from the Labour Party came 24 hours after footage first circulated of the aftermath of the event, which showed him shouting while bystanders expressed shock at what had happened. This video showed a bystander pushing Amesbury away. Labour Party reacts to incident After the footage of the aftermath of the event circulated, a Labour spokesperson said that Amesbury approached the Cheshire Police to report and that he would cooperate with any enquiries. On Sunday morning, Secretary of State For Education Bridget Phillipson said that Amesbury was fully cooperating with the police. "He’s gone forward himself to the police, and it is right that the police now look into this matter, investigate and decide what action, if any, is required,” Phillipson added.
