There's more enormous trouble for Donald Trump's Presidential campaign.
He's accusing the New York Times newspaper of "character assassination" after the newspaper published the claims of two women who say the Republican Presidential candidate molested them.
And a celebrity television program in the United States has released videotape in which Mr. Trump makes inappropriate comments about young girls.
Our US Correspondent Simon Marks reports.

For days now the rumors have been thick that there were more stories to come out about Donald Trump's treatment of women.
When the New York Times thuds onto doorsteps this morning….or is read online…its subscribers will be introduced to two women who take issue with Mr. Trump's claim in last Sunday's Presidential debate that he never groped anyone.
One of them was 22 ….a receptionist working at Trump Tower a dozen years ago….who claims that the Republican Presidential candidate kissed her on the lips, uninvited.
Jessica Leeds is the second woman…she says she encountered Donald Trump 35 years ago on an aeroplane when she was, unexpectedly, upgraded to first class.

And there was more….the Palm Beach Post published an interview with a woman who claims Donald Trump groped her after a concert in Florida in 2003.
And the celebrity TV show, Entertainment Tonight, released videotape in which Donald Trump follows a young girl onto an escalator and says this:
