As two candidates sparred, the raucous New York crowd marked their approval and disapproval with volleys of both cheers and boos.

In a contentious and sometimes "feisty" debate in Brooklyn, New York on Thursday night the contrasts between Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was once again made stark.

On key issues—including fracking and climate change; Wall Street and corporate influence; regime change in Iraq, Libya, and Syria; the road towards peace in Israel and Occupied Palestine; and the difference between bold domestic visions and benign incrementalism—the two candidates sparred back and forth as the raucous crowd marked their approval and disapproval with volleys of cheers and boos.
