Hillary Clinton: We've cracked the glass ceiling

Hillary Clinton has told Democrats they have "just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling" by nominating her for US president on a night awash with history.

The former US secretary of state and first lady put an electrifying cap on the Democratic convention's second night, speaking by satellite video and offering this message to any little girls who might have stayed up to see the ground-breaking moment on Tuesday night: "I may become the first woman president, but one of you is next."
