bbc--2020-10-31--US election 2020: Fact-checking Trump and Biden's final week

After months of bitter campaigning - and plenty of spin and distortion of the facts - the US election is drawing to an end .
We 've been fact-checking the candidates throughout , and here is our selection from the final week of the campaign .
Donald Trump has been far more active on the campaign trail over the past few days , with a punishing schedule of rallies in key states .
There 's been no let-up of his repetition of false claims about the pandemic , his record in office and the integrity of postal voting .
Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` most states '' There are just a handful of states - including Michigan , Connecticut , Minnesota , New York and Wisconsin - where your postal vote can be cancelled after it has been submitted .
Most states will allow you to vote in person if you 've been sent a postal vote but have n't returned it .
Some of these ballots have to be counted last to make sure no-one votes twice .
Biden : `` Donald Trump crashed the economy that Barack and I left him .
Like everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he squandered it . ''
Mr Trump has said the recent recovery in growth is `` the biggest in the history of our country by almost triple ... that 's bigger than any nation '' .
This is n't right .
Over the third quarter period ( July-September ) this year , the economy grew by 7.4 % in the US ( 33.1 % is the annualised figure ) .
This is less than Germany , Italy and the eurozone as a whole .
If you look at economic growth from the start @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US has done better than Europe but `` worse that China and some other Asian economies '' such as South Korea , says Neil Shearing , chief economist at Capital Economics .

Biden : `` 91 of the top corporate companies in America paid zero federal income tax . ''

After months of bitter campaigning - and plenty of spin and distortion of the facts - the US election has come to an end.
We've been fact-checking the candidates throughout, and here is our selection from the final week of the campaign.
Donald Trump has been far more active on the campaign trail over the past few days, with a punishing schedule of rallies in key states.
There's been no let-up of his repetition of false claims about the pandemic, his record in office and the integrity of postal voting.
Mr Biden has appeared in public far less, but he's also presented fact-checking challenges and often misrepresented the economy under President Trump.
Trump: You can change your vote in "most states"
Verdict: This is not correct. Only in a few states can you change your vote after you've submitted a postal ballot.
There are just a handful of states - including Michigan, Connecticut, Minnesota, New York and Wisconsin - where your postal vote can be cancelled after it has been submitted.
In these states, you can then either request a new postal ballot or vote in person.
Most states will allow you to vote in person if you've been sent a postal vote but haven't returned it. Some of these ballots have to be counted last to make sure no-one votes twice.

Biden: "Donald Trump crashed the economy that Barack and I left him. Like everything else he's left and inherited, he squandered it."
Verdict: Only after the onset of the pandemic did economic growth take a nose-dive. It has subsequently experienced a strong recovery.
The latest numbers show economic output surged by an annualised 33% in the third quarter of 2020, following a record fall as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the economy has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
Prior to the pandemic, during President Trump's first three years in office, he oversaw an annual average growth of 2.5%.
The last three years of the Obama administration saw a similar level of growth (2.3%).
Mr Trump has said the recent recovery in growth is "the biggest in the history of our country by almost triple... that's bigger than any nation".
This isn't right. Over the third quarter period (July-September) this year, the economy grew by 7.4% in the US (33.1% is the annualised figure). This is less than Germany, Italy and the eurozone as a whole.
If you look at economic growth from the start of the pandemic to the present, the US has done better than Europe but "worse that China and some other Asian economies" such as South Korea, says Neil Shearing, chief economist at Capital Economics.

Biden: "It's estimated that if we wore masks the next few months, by his own experts in the CDC and other agencies... we'd save 100,000 lives."
Verdict: The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) does not make this projection, nor do others.
Mr Biden may have been referring to a projection, not by the CDC, but from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington.
However, the 100,000 figure Mr Biden quotes is significantly above the IHME's latest estimate that 62,000 lives would be saved by the end of January 2021, if mask-wearing was almost universal.
The CDC recommends that people wear masks in public settings, events and gatherings, to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

Trump: Joe Biden ending cash bail would free "400,000 dangerous criminals"
Verdict: This needs context. Joe Biden does want to end the cash bail system, but Mr Trump is wrong about its impact.
Joe Biden has pledged to end cash bail - the deposit a defendant pays to avoid being kept in detention while awaiting trial.
His website says: "The cash bail system incarcerates people who are presumed innocent."
There are about 450,000 individuals currently detained before trial. However, a significant proportion of these are not given the option of bail - in particular those charged with serious crimes.
So Mr Trump's figure of 400,000 is too high, say experts. And it's also not correct to call all the people who can't afford to pay bail "dangerous criminals".
"Cash bail results in detention based on inability to pay. As a result, a low-risk indigent person may be detained and a high-risk wealthy person may be released," says Prof Crystal Yang at Harvard University.
Biden: "91 of the top corporate companies in America paid zero federal income tax."
Verdict: This is true, according to a study.
The context for this claim is that Mr Biden has criticised big cuts in taxes under the Trump administration that have led to companies and wealthy individuals paying substantially less.
In 2018, 91 of the top 500 companies in the US effectively paid no tax, according to a report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
Despite making almost $80bn in pre-tax income, some companies paid no taxes, as the US corporate tax code "lowers the bar for the amount of tax avoidance it takes to get you down to zero", according to the Institute.

England won the Six Nations after France beat Ireland on a thrilling final day of the delayed tournament.
Eddie Jones' side had claimed a bonus-point win against Italy earlier on Saturday but faced a tense wait as both teams in the day's final fixture attempted to take the title.
England's first title since 2017 was confirmed by France's 35-27 victory.
Ireland, who would have taken the crown if they had beaten France by six points or more, led 10-7 at one point.
The hosts took control to win in Paris but needed a bonus point and a winning margin of 31 points or more to claim the Six Nations themselves.
But they were unable to win by a large enough margin as England took the title on points difference.
England will fly home on Sunday and be presented with the trophy on their return. They will then have a week off before playing Georgia, Ireland and Wales in the Autumn Nations Cup.
Their victory comes at the end of the longest Six Nations in history after the tournament was suspended in March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
England's women have already won the title with a game to spare and face Italy in search of a second successive Grand Slam on Sunday.
How England won the title
England came into this tournament as World Cup runners-up, but the Six Nations title seemed far from their reach after the opening game:
'We want to make people smile' - What they said
England head coach Eddie Jones: "I'm very proud of all the players and staff. They've reacted superbly to the changing situations in the past couple of weeks and remained focused on the goal of winning the Six Nations."We'd also like to thank all of our supporters. It's strange not having fans in the stadium and we know it's a tough time for the country, but we felt your support throughout the campaign and it does make a difference.
"Hopefully we can continue to deliver more good moments for our fans in the coming weeks."
England captain Owen Farrell: "It's a massive achievement for us as a group to win the Guinness Six Nations in the strangest year and circumstances.
"We've worked really hard in training the past few weeks to get ready for the Italy game, we knew what we had to do and we kept our focus and got the result.
"This is a great group of players, we really think we can continue to get better and achieve more for England.
"We know how difficult things are for everyone at home at the moment and we've been saying all through our training camps how we want to do our bit to make people smile.
"Hopefully we've done that today and we'll do more of the same throughout the autumn."

Ben Youngs made his England debut in 2010
Ben Youngs put in a man-of-the-match performance for England as he became only the second male player to reach 100 caps for the country after Jason Leonard.
The scrum-half had been stuck on 99 caps since the Six Nations was halted but scored once in each half to make the wait more than worth it.
After his achievement, he was presented with a gold cap and an engraved watch by his team-mates in the Stadio Olimpico dressing room.
"It was an incredible touch and something that I wasn't expecting," the 31-year-old said.
"It was a great presentation from Eddie [Jones] and Owen [Farrell] and I will now reflect and enjoy this moment."
'A magic day for England' - Analysis
Former England captain Martin Johnson on BBC One: "France coming back and playing the rugby they did is brilliant for the tournament.
"I am already looking forward to England v France next year. England will pick up the trophy on Sunday but they will be thinking they have blown a Grand Slam because they played poorly in Paris in the first half and did not really compete."
Former England wing Ugo Monye on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It is a magic day for England. Any day you win a Six Nations title is, of course, but it is made more special by the debutants they had, plus Jamie George reaching 50 caps and Ben Youngs reaching 100.
"Ben has been incredible. We often try to select our national team based on club form and his form for Leicester hasn't always been great for the past couple of years.
"But whenever he has put on an England jersey he's been incredible. To be only the second Englishman [after Jason Leonard] to reach that achievement is fantastic."
Tom Curry scored the fourth try which earned England a bonus point against Italy

Usyk (right) stood up to Chisora's pressure in round one and visibly grew in confidence
Oleksandr Usyk delivered a stylish and measured display to pick apart Derek Chisora in a points win that underlined his credentials at heavyweight.
The former unified world cruiserweight champion moved with grace and picked punches beautifully to frustrate his British rival over 12 rounds.
An attack in the seventh sent Chisora staggering to the ropes as Usyk found ways to land while on the move.
Chisora worked hard but had no reply and lost 117-112 115-113 115-113.
In the immediate aftermath, Chisora said he felt he had done enough to beat the Ukrainian but the BBC 5 Live Boxing team at ringside at Wembley Arena felt Usyk comfortably merited the judges' decision.
Fans were unable to attend a heavyweight bout that was highly anticipated for the clash of styles on offer but WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua was among those watching from ringside.
Chisora walked to the ring to the sound of Hotel California by The Eagles
With this win, Usyk, 33, remains mandatory challenger for Briton Joshua's WBO belt and, while he may not have found the eye-catching knockout win fans so often long for at heavyweight, his skill set is obvious.
The craft, quick feet and general intelligence that saw him dominate at cruiserweight was on display and while Chisora, 36, always looked to walk forward and engage, the movement from his rival ultimately dictated large spells of the fight.
Chisora brought the pressure and rugged style he had promised early on when he enjoyed his best period and Usyk - in just his second fight since stepping up to heavyweight - staggered after taking a shot in the opening 30 seconds.
Chisora looked to tire his opponent by working the body, while Usyk's approach was to test his rival's stamina with constant movement. By the end of the seventh, a combination looked to have Chisora in trouble just as the bell ended the round.
Usyk landed a clean left hook in the eighth and, with BBC 5 Live pundit Dillian Whyte questioning the guidance Chisora was receiving in his corner, the Briton was unable to dig out the kind of thrilling fightback that has endeared him to fans in recent years.
While Usyk only gave himself "three out of 10" for the display, he will undoubtedly prove a tricky puzzle to solve in his new weight division.
Usyk wants the world - reaction
Unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua was ringside and Usyk could yet face him in 2021
The 2012 Olympic champion could now move on to face another gold medallist from the Games in Joshua if the British boxer still holds the WBO belt in 2021.
Asked if his goal is to still become a world champion at heavyweight, Usyk replied: "Absolutely. The undisputed world heavyweight champion. Not just world champion.
"It is a real test at heavyweight. Chisora is a big guy, a hard guy. I was expecting the fight like that and an even tougher fight."
A dejected Chisora, who fell to his 10th defeat in 42 outings, felt he had won, adding: "I gave a few rounds away but I was pushing the pace. But the judges saw it a different way.
"He did very well. I am gutted."
Chisora's advice and Usyk will learn - analysis
Usyk now has 18 wins from 18 fights as a professional
British heavyweight Dillian Whyte on BBC Radio 5 Live:
Usyk has pedigree and is a good mover so of course he can be a force. I don't see anything where I think 'wow this is crazy'. He's a good mover that's it.
I don't know what advice Chisora was being given. I don't know what was going on.
BBC boxing correspondent Mike Costello:
"I made Usyk an emphatic winner based on his much cleaner punching. Chisora started well and had success with his plan of sticking close to Usyk in the early rounds. By halfway though, Chisora's aggression had waned and became spirited rather than effective, as Usyk took a lot of the punches on the arms and gloves.
"Dillian Whyte joined us for the fight commentary and dismissed Usyk as a force in the heavyweight division. But being the type of character he is, Usyk will have learned from this experience, his first real test as a heavyweight."
'The right man won' - reaction
Former world super-middleweight champion George Groves: I had it 9-3 Usyk. Felt he took his foot off the gas when he didn't get Chisora out of there after the big seventh round. Waited for the last onslaught from Chisora to come and pass but didn't fancy pushing for an early finish. Great win nonetheless.
Olympic gold medallist Audley Harrison: Good, good fight - Derek fought his heart out and did everything he could to break Usyk down ... a classic boxer versus the slugger match-up but the right man won. But salute to Chisora for digging deep and having such a solid performance.
Former world-title challenger Paul Smith Jr: Had it 9-3 Usyk. Chisora unfortunately did what a lot of fighters do against elite fighters and started in fourth gear. Brave and very good effort from Chisora, tough as old boots and moves great for a heavyweight.


bbc--2020-10-31--Ireland beaten by France as title bid comes up short

England have been crowned Six Nations champions after France recorded a 35-27 win over Ireland in Paris .

Guinness Six Nations: France v Ireland France: (17) 35 Tries: Dupont, penalty try, Ntamack, Vakatawa Con: Ntamack 2 Pens: Ntamack 3 Ireland: (13) 27 Tries: Healy, Henshaw, Stockdale Cons: Sexton 2, R Byrne Pens: Sexton 2
England have been crowned Six Nations champions after France recorded a 35-27 win over Ireland in Paris.
Despite the bonus-point win, the margin of victory was not enough for Fabien Galthie's side to overtake England, who take the honours courtesy of their superior points difference.
Antoine Dupont and a first-half penalty try helped France grab the ascendancy before further scores from Romaine Ntamack and Virimi Vakatawa saw them threaten to challenge England's top spot.
As for Ireland, whose tries came from from Cian Healy, Robbie Henshaw and Jacob Stockdale, it was a disappointing finale having come into the game knowing a win by seven points or more would have seen them take home the title.
An even first half looked to have set up an intriguing final 40 minutes of the tournament with Ireland's winning scenario seemingly more likely than France's.
However, the nail-biting finish failed to materialise as France, aided by a misfiring Irish set-piece, controlled the second half without ever extending their lead to the required margin.
End-to-end first half provides Irish hope
While England's 34-5 win over Italy earlier on Saturday put them in pole position for the title, it was not the lopsided score Ireland had feared, and left Andy Farrell's men requiring a seven-point win to clinch the championship.
It was a target that required precise game management, and would rely as much on Ireland's ability to stop a French attack that has provided some blistering displays in 2020.
While the Irish line-speed kept France in check for much of the first half, Dupont's seventh-minute try came off a clinical exploitation of a rare error in Ireland's defensive set-up.
With prop Andrew Porter at the far end of Ireland's defensive line, France quickly worked the ball left to Gael Fickou who took advantage of the pace mismatch to surge between Porter and the touchline before finding Dupont infield to put France ahead.
Unflustered, Ireland quickly worked their way into France's territory and soon found themselves with a numerical advantage as Anthony Bouthier was sent to the sin-bin for deliberately slapping Sexton's grubber kick out of touch on the tryline.
Healy duly marked the occasion of his 100th cap by driving over before a Sexton penalty nudged the visitors in front for the first time.
Prop Healy celebrated his 100th cap with Ireland's opening try
It had been a largely satisfactory showing for Ireland until the half hour mark, when Jacob Stockdale's knock on saw Francois Cros kick towards the tryline with the French flanker favourite to reach the ball first only to be brought down by opposite number Caelan Doris.
The attempt to salvage the situation only brought about a double whammy, as a penalty try was awarded with Doris sent to the sin-bin for the cynical foul.
Still, with the clock approaching the red Ireland had a chance to kick an easy penalty that would have reduced the arrears to a point, and put them within a converted try of their required victory margin.
Instead, Sexton opted to go for the corner and France held firm on their line as Ireland saw a precious points opportunity go begging.
France continue resurgence under Galthie
While no doubt pleased to have ended on a high note, France will reflect on what could have been in this year's championship, and their minds will cast back to Mohamed Haouas' first-half red card against Scotland in March.
Without a Six Nations title since 2010, France have arguably been the form side of this year's prolonged tournament, beating England, Ireland and Wales in style but still falling short ultimately due to that loss at Murrayfield.
On the whole however, it has been a positive tournament for Galthie's men, who were clinical in a controlled second half on Saturday night.
They stretched their lead four minutes after the restart, with Dupont collecting Fickou's chip through to tee up his Toulouse partner Ntamack.
After another Ntamack penalty, France held a lead of 14 and with the momentum in their favour, for a moment the required 32 point margin did not seem so farfetched.
It was however only a momentary consideration, as Henshaw put Ireland back in the game with a wonderful solo try, showing pace and power to run back against the grain to touch down in the corner.
By the time Vakatawa crossed for the bonus-point score on 71 minutes, time was against both sides and England's championship was as good as assured. Stockdale's try with the last minute of the game did not change the table standings or the outcome of the game.

Last updated on .From the section Premier League
Substitute Diogo Jota scored for the third straight game as Liverpool came from behind to beat in-form West Ham and go top of the Premier League table.
In an intriguing encounter, the Hammers took an early lead through Spanish midfielder Pablo Fornals' smart finish, which clipped the post on its way in after a poor headed clearance by Joe Gomez.
That was the 15th goal Liverpool have conceded in seven games this season - as many as Chelsea let in all season on their way to the title in 2004-05.
Jurgen Klopp's side were level shortly before half-time, Arthur Masuaku's foul on Mohamed Salah allowing the Egypt forward to equalise from the penalty spot with Liverpool's first attempt on target.
But the Reds, who gave a league debut to central defender Nathaniel Phillips in the absence of injured trio Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Fabinho, found it tough going.
Jota, a £41m signing from Wolves in September, netted in the 85th minute after a smart pass by fellow substitute Xherdan Shaqiri - moments after already seeing a goal disallowed for a foul.
"He's much better than I thought he would be and that's really impressive," Klopp said after Jota's latest performance.
"He's an exceptional talent. He has the speed, physicality, technique, and he's both-footed."
With this win, Liverpool equalled a club record 63 league games unbeaten at Anfield set by Bob Paisley's all-conquering side between 1978 and 1981.
Back on top - but defensive lapses continue
Liverpool are back on top of the Premier League table for the first time since they ended last season as champions but they were far from their fluent best.
They are three points clear of neighbours Everton, who will return to the summit if they win at Newcastle on Sunday (14:00 GMT).
Question marks remain over Liverpool's defence, which has now conceded 27 in 14 matches since Klopp's side were confirmed Premier League champions in June.
Phillips, whose dad, Jimmy, played against Liverpool for Bolton in the 1995 League Cup final, at least provided an aerial presence, the 23-year-old making a series of headed clearances during a commanding performance.
Phillips is a monster in the air - Klopp impressed by debutant
It was his more experienced defensive partner Gomez who was at fault for West Ham's goal, the England centre-back heading Masuaku's cross straight into the path of Fornals to put David Moyes' side ahead.
Salah levelled with his eighth goal of the season after hitting his penalty straight down the middle before Jota's introduction from the bench lifted the side.
The Portugal forward had the ball in the back of the net but it was ruled out for Sadio Mane's foul on Angelo Ogbonna after referee Kevin Friend watched a replay on the pitchside monitor.
However, Jota was not to be denied as he lashed past keeper Lukasz Fabianski in front of an empty Kop following a delightful pass by Shaqiri that split the West Ham defence.
Gutsy West Ham fall short
Having held Manchester City last week, this was another gutsy performance by West Ham, who attacked in numbers and gave Liverpool a real scare.
They arrived at Anfield unbeaten in their previous four games against sides who finished in the top seven last season.
However, they were without key forward Michail Antonio, who scored a superb goal against City before suffering a hamstring injury.
After being restricted to 50 minutes of Premier League football this season, Sebastien Haller was handed his first top-flight start of the season in place of Antonio.
But it was midfielder Fornals who produced a lovely finish to put his side ahead.
After Salah equalised, the former Villarreal player was denied a second goal by Andrew Robertson's important block, yet West Ham were unable to secure a point their hard work deserved as they were undone at the end by Jota.
"It's a good sign that we're disappointed not to take anything from Anfield," said Moyes after West Ham's first league defeat since 19 September.
"We had really good opportunities to maybe get a second goal. I wanted it to be more than just the odd counter-attack. We were a threat, we were well organised and disciplined in the jobs we had to do."
Moyes 'disappointed' with penalty decision
'Masuaku disappointed with the dive' - what they said
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "It's so difficult with the number of games we have. Seeing the determination and desire of the boys, the will to play football, to deal with setbacks is really exceptional.
"The tricky thing is that you have to be patient, but also lively to keep them moving. It's a constant concentration level you have to keep up, which we did - except maybe for their goal."
West Ham boss David Moyes on Liverpool's penalty: "It's not the sort of football I want to be involved in.
"I think our player stops and throws his arms up because he's so disappointed about the dive.
"I'm just disappointed they didn't turn the decision around. Maybe in the second half the decision [Jota's disallowed goal] went for us, but the first-half one didn't."
Hammers drop more points from winning position - the stats
Only Aston Villa in 1897-98 (17) have conceded more goals in their first seven league matches as reigning top-flight champions than Liverpool this season (15). The Reds took 23 games to concede 15 Premier League goals last season.
Since David Moyes' first game back in charge of West Ham in January, the Hammers have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side in the Premier League (16).
Liverpool have conceded the first goal in three of their four home league games this season - as many times as they did in all 19 league matches at Anfield last term.
Since the start of last season, West Ham's Pablo Fornals is the only visiting player to score two Premier League goals away to Liverpool, also netting in this exact fixture for the Hammers in 2019-20.
Liverpool are only the second side in Premier League history to concede the first goal in three consecutive home matches but still win all three, after Blackburn Rovers in November 2009.
What's next?
Liverpool head to Italy next to face Champions League Group D rivals Atalanta on Tuesday (20:00 GMT), while West Ham have a week to prepare for a London derby with Fulham at London Stadium on Saturday, 7 November (20:00 GMT).

Eden Hazard's last goal for Real Madrid came on 5 October 2019 against Granada in La Liga
Eden Hazard scored his first goal for more than a year as Real Madrid moved to the top of La Liga with an emphatic win over Huesca.
The Belgian opened the scoring with a superb left-foot shot into the left corner from outside the penalty area.
France forward Karim Benzema scored twice for the hosts, with Uruguay midfielder Federico Valverde getting their other goal.
David Ferreiro scored the visitors' only goal.
Real, who had lost their previous two home fixtures, made a slow start and were fortunate not to fall behind against a Huesca side without a league win this season.
However, Hazard's goal sparked Zinedine Zidane's side into life and Benzema's neat left-foot finish then doubled their lead.
The pair then combined to lay on the third for Valverde, with Benzema rounding off the scoring with a header after Ferreiro's tap-in.
Real are now two points clear of Real Sociedad and Cadiz at the top of the table, with Sociedad scheduled to face Celta Vigo on Sunday (15:00 GMT).

Guinness Six Nations: Italy v England Italy: (5) 5 Try: Polledri England: (10) 34 Tries: Youngs 2, George, Curry, Slade Pens: Farrell Cons: Farrell 3
England's bonus-point victory against Italy proved to be enough to win the Six Nations title after France beat Ireland in Saturday's final fixture.
Ben Youngs - celebrating his 100th cap - scored the opening try, before Jake Polledri hit back for Italy.
England came out with renewed intensity after the break and Youngs capitalised with his second score.
The visitors then found their rhythm, with 50-cap Jamie George, Tom Curry and Henry Slade all crossing.
England had a nervous wait until after France's game against Ireland before their first Six Nations title since 2017 was confirmed.
Both sides could have won the title but in the end Les Bleus' winning margin was not enough for them to be crowned champions.
England stutter in strange first half
As with so much sport in recent months, there was a strange air around the Stadio Olimpico as Ben Youngs ran out to celebrate his 100th cap in front of eerily empty stands, before players sang the anthems spaced out along the touchline.
It had been seven months since Eddie Jones' side last played a match and just under a year since their World Cup final defeat, but England fans were quickly reassured by the familiar sight of their team inflicting a try on Italy in the first five minutes.
Owen Farrell darted through a gap in the Italian defence and found Youngs on the inside to give the centurion a fitting opening try, which the captain successfully converted.
Ben Youngs scored twice as he earned his 100th cap for England
Further comfort came as an Italian infringement at the breakdown gave England a penalty and Farrell opted to take an easy three points in front of the posts.
But then things turned upside down. A loose ball from Sinckler was claimed by Carlo Canna and he found Gloucester's Jake Polledri, the number eight sprinting clear to dot down in the corner.
The momentum stayed with Italy as lock Jonny Hill's England debut was marred by a trip to the sin-bin for a high tackle on wing Edoardo Padovani.
England repeatedly opted to kick rather than run the ball but this only seemed to work in Italy's favour as they threatened to score from a line-out in the corner before Hill returned to help win a scrum penalty for his side.
It looked as if the visitors might go into the dressing room with their heads held high but a try-scoring opportunity was ended as Polledri came into their maul at the side, leading to a yellow card for the number eight.
Renewed England surge ahead after the break
England came out looking much sharper in the second half and were almost immediately rewarded by Youngs' try.
The scrum-half sent a dummy pass from the base of a ruck and stepped round prop Danilo Fischetti, sprinting through the gap and across the tryline.
It was Maro Itoje who led the second-half charge and, after Wasps full-back Matteo Minozzi left the field with a bleeding nose after clashing heads with Jonny May, the lock claimed the ball in a line-out to set up George's try in a maul.
England had three of the four tries needed for the bonus point that was crucial to their title hopes but their momentum stalled momentarily.
Henry Slade won the Premiership and Champions Cup with Exeter earlier in October
Just after Gloucester wing Ollie Thorley came on for his debut, flanker Curry took on the role of scrum-half with Youngs on the floor at the breakdown.
The forward picked up the ball from the base of the ruck to run down the touchline on the blind-side and score, but Farrell missed the conversion.
The England captain - playing in his first match since September because of a ban for a high tackle - redeemed himself as his grubber-kick was chased by Ben Earl, who twisted on the floor and popped the ball up for Slade to score.
However, he did miss a second conversion and the chance to put more scoreboard pressure on Ireland and France, although this did not matter in the end.
Man of the match: Ben Youngs
Youngs had been stuck on 99 caps since the Six Nations' suspension in March, and he delivered a composed performance, scoring two well-deserved tries.
'We knew we'd get there in the end' - what they said
England's man of the match Youngs: "We always thought it was going to be a grinding down process.
"We got a bit out-enthused in the first half, we camped on our own line for a long time. We couldn't quite get out and maybe with that yellow card [for Jonny Hill], we couldn't shake that off.
"But whatever it may be, we knew that if we stuck to it we'd get there in the end and that was the most important thing that we did."

The 2021 Tour Down Under in Australia has been cancelled because of concerns around the spread of coronavirus.
The race was scheduled to take place in Adelaide between 14 and 24 January.
It will be replaced by a smaller domestic cycling festival in 2021.
"Of course I am disappointed but, given the challenges, our priority needs to be the health and safety of South Australians, our communities, and the international cycling fraternity," said race director Stuart O'Grady.
"I believe that for one year we can put delivering an international event aside and keep our South Australian heart beating by delivering a new, reimagined event for cyclists and for communities across the nation."
The arrival of over 400 people making up the international teams proved to be the risk "most difficult to overcome", according to Hitaf Rasheed, executive director of Events South Australia.

The structure, which dates back to 1896, was removed from Lowdham railway station in Nottinghamshire using a crane.
The signal box, which became redundant in 2016, has been relocated to a piece of land at the end of David Moore’s garden.
Mr Moore, of the Lowdham Railway Heritage charity, said he hoped the museum would open in spring 2022.
