Good afternoon. Here's what's happening now:

  • Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump sparred in a fiery second presidential debate. Here's the key moments you need to know

  • Samsung has halted production of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone according to South Korean media. There's been reports replacement devices, issued after a global recall of the phone, have been catching fire

  • An inquest into the death of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes has heard there was no talk of sledging or instructions to bowl bouncers at the batsmen. Counsel assisting Kristina Stern SC said Hughes death "appears to have been inevitable from the point of impact"

"Freakshakes", deconstructed coffees and syringes loaded with caramel. Hipster food has gone viral, so who's to blame? Social media.

Here's what's coming up tonight:

  • 8:30pm AEDT: ABC's Four Corners investigates the political fight over same-sex marriage

  • 9:30pm AEDT: The Q&A panel will discuss the issue of borders and refugees
