Hillary Clinton got some surprise support from her chief rival during a TV debate last night.

Candidates vying for the Democratic Party nomination in the US Presidential election race faced off in Las Vegas.

Bernie Sanders came to Clinton's aid during the CNN debate, as candidates discussed her use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.

Clinton said her decision not to use a government email address was a mistake.

Despite the show of unity, the pair did clash over capitalism, US policy on Syria and gun control:

In another highlight, Clinton lashed out at Republicans on Tuesday, saying she is "sick" of them complaining about big government involvement in opposing family leave while simultaneously using big government to “interfere with a woman's right to choose".

Clinton said her administration could “design a system and pay for it” so that it “does not put the burden on small businesses".
