“New footage has emerged in which Donald Trump predicts he would be dating a 10-year-old girl in ten years' time -- the latest sleaze claim to hit his presidential campaign.

The newly released footage, which was unearthed by US television network CBS News, was filmed in 1992 - when Mr Trump was 46. It is the latest recording to show the Republican presidential candidate making controversial comments about women and girls.

In audio from the tape, Mr Trump can be heard asking the 10-year-old if she is going up an escalator inside Trump Tower in New York, to which she responds: “Yeah”.

He then turns to the camera and says: “I’m going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?”
