The US election dominates the newspaper front pages today as the presidential election race now enters its final week. The coverage of the election remains at the top of the publications with live coverage as the two candidates visit the battleground states in the final push.

There is also coverage of the LA Dodgers winning the World Series after the New York Yankees had an ‘epic meltdown’ in the fifth innings.
