Hillary Rodham Clinton's family was "dead broke" and saddled with legal bills when she and her husband left the White House, the former first lady said in a new interview that aired at the start of a high-profile book tour that could precede a 2016 presidential campaign.

"We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt," Clinton told ABC News.

"We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea's education. You know, it was not easy."

4. Abuse from crowd riles rugby fan

A life-long rugby fan says she is "completely and utterly ashamed" of some All Blacks supporters after being subjected to abuse at Eden Park on Saturday.

The woman has returned to New Zealand after living in England with her English husband for 40 years, and has sworn to never attend another rugby game at Eden Park after seeing the behaviour around her at the test.

The couple, who have attended All Blacks tests in Europe and been on a Lions tour of South Africa, have never experienced what she called "downright racist and sexist" remarks to opposition supporters. Her husband was called a "f****** whingeing Pom", and they left the ground feeling heartbroken by the experience.

A couple who sold their "dark", "sad" and "depressing" Auckland home before they realised there had been a suicide on the property have lost their bid to be compensated by the real estate agents involved in the purchase.

The Real Estate Agents Disciplinary Tribunal has upheld a Complaints Assessment Committee (CAC) ruling that Barfoot & Thompson should have told its clients about the death, but declined to award any damages.

Richard and Evette Campbell told the tribunal they would never have bought the Flat Bush house if they had known a tenant had taken his life in the garage on the property about a year before the sale.
