Hillary Clinton has formally accepted the US Democratic Party nomination for president.

"It is with humility determination and boundless confidence in America`s promise that I accept your nomination," Clinton said at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Philadelphia.

In her speech the US Democratic presidential candidate noted that he United States is still facing "deep-seated" problems.

"We’re still facing deep-seated problems that developed long before the recession and have stayed with us through the recovery," Clinton said, adding that "an awful lot of people feel there is less and less respect for the work they do."

Clinton said that as president, she would strive to create more jobs with better wages. "I believe that our economy isn’t working the way it should because our democracy isn’t working the way it should," Clinton said.

She promised to "liberate millions of people who have student debt," raise the minimum wage, improve healthcare and support domestic manufacturing.

Clinton also spoke against "unfair trade deals" and said the United States must "stand up to China."

According to Clinton, Barack Obama’s presidency has already led to the creation of 15 million new private-sector jobs and twenty million more Americans now have health insurance.
