Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:12.:00:15.

Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.

:00:16.:00:18.

A senior Olympic official has been arrested in Rio by police

:00:19.:00:21.

He's suspected of passing tickets to touts to be sold illegally.

:00:22.:00:37.

In California, 82,000 people have evacuated from their homes

:00:38.:00:39.

because of a rapidly moving wildfire.

:00:40.:00:40.

We'll be talking about Donald Trump very shortly -

:00:41.:00:43.

he has made major changes to his campaign team.

:00:44.:00:53.

We'll also report from the latest beach to ban the burkini in France -

:00:54.:00:59.

that is the full body swimsuit which some say is as symbol

:01:00.:01:02.

Donald Trump has shaken up his campaign team

:01:03.:01:18.

Let me show you the two main beneficiaries.

:01:19.:01:28.

Kellyanne Conway is a pollster - she becomes

:01:29.:01:30.

Stephen Bannon was the executive chairman

:01:31.:01:37.

of right wing news website Breitbart - he becomes

:01:38.:01:40.

All of which appears to add up to a bad day for Paul Manafort.

:01:41.:01:46.

But inevitably questions will be asked about where power really

:01:47.:01:49.

What we can be more sure of is that the polls aren't

:01:50.:01:56.

going in the right direction for the Republicans.

:01:57.:02:01.

The New York Times averages all of the main polls -

:02:02.:02:05.

it shows a drop in Republican support since the party

:02:06.:02:08.

46% for Hillary Clinton, 39% for Donald Trump, and they were closer

:02:09.:02:20.

in July before the party conventions.

:02:21.:02:24.

We'll be live with Katty Kay in a momenty - first here's

:02:25.:02:27.

Gavin Hewitt on the state of the Trump campaign.

:02:28.:02:30.

In West Bend, Wisconsin, Donald Trump supporters are willing

:02:31.:02:35.

to wait four hours in the Midwest sun but their candidate's

:02:36.:02:38.

campaign is in trouble, behind in the polls,

:02:39.:02:40.

mired in controversy, not that you would know that here.

:02:41.:02:42.

I think he's a man that speaks his mind.

:02:43.:02:51.

I know he's going to win, that's why we're here.

:02:52.:02:59.

This is a critical moment for Donald Trump with some

:03:00.:03:02.

influential Republicans telling him to fix his campaign

:03:03.:03:04.

Many recent Trump remarks have sparked outrage.

:03:05.:03:16.

None damaged his credibility more than arguing with a Muslim American

:03:17.:03:20.

Here's the challenge facing Donald Trump.

:03:21.:03:27.

He is behind in those key battleground states that he has

:03:28.:03:30.

to win in order to get to the White House and a significant

:03:31.:03:34.

proportion of Republicans, of his own party,

:03:35.:03:38.

At this event he read from a prompter and his tone

:03:39.:03:44.

We will reject bigotry and hatred and oppression.

:03:45.:03:50.

And there was an attempt to reach out to a wider audience.

:03:51.:03:55.

I'm asking for the vote of every African American citizen

:03:56.:04:01.

In a recent poll only 1% of black voters had supported him.

:04:02.:04:07.

Unless you're in the Trump inner circle you are very concerned

:04:08.:04:11.

that this campaign is going south in a hurry, very concerned it

:04:12.:04:15.

doesn't have a structure, concerned they don't know how

:04:16.:04:17.

to spend their money, concerned about the temperament

:04:18.:04:20.

of the candidate and his inability to stay on message.

:04:21.:04:25.

Today Donald Trump announced a second shake-up of

:04:26.:04:27.

It seems they want Trump to continue being himself,

:04:28.:04:34.

the unguarded political outsider, but with more focus

:04:35.:04:37.

But it is far from clear that he would will prove a more

:04:38.:04:47.

disciplined candidate or indeed whether it is too late

:04:48.:04:49.

to persuade undecided voters he is fit to be president.

:04:50.:05:04.

Let's talk to Two. There are so many questions, first we heard people

:05:05.:05:13.

saying there has not been enough structural or disciplined about the

:05:14.:05:19.

campaign. Some could argue it was that very spontaneity which got him

:05:20.:05:24.

the nomination. Which I'm sure is what Donald Trump would argue. There

:05:25.:05:31.

has been this internal contradiction in the Trump campaign, he won the

:05:32.:05:35.

primary is by being, as he says, who I am, that access he is prone to. He

:05:36.:05:42.

got into the general election part of the campaign and things went

:05:43.:05:47.

south. His argument is that he had too many advisers telling him to

:05:48.:05:52.

ring himself in and be more presidential and the poll numbers

:05:53.:05:57.

sunk. Political strategists would argue that the difference between

:05:58.:06:02.

being in a primary campaign, where you have the most enthusiastic

:06:03.:06:07.

members of the party voting, and a general election read you have to

:06:08.:06:12.

appeal to people in the centre of the spectrum and they didn't like Mr

:06:13.:06:16.

Trump being Phil on and controversial. It seems that the

:06:17.:06:23.

Trump who says, I'm not going to change, I will carry on saying some

:06:24.:06:27.

of those controversial things, that is the one who has won here. And

:06:28.:06:33.

tell us about these two characters who are stepping into the

:06:34.:06:37.

centrestage, who have not been involved in the Trump campaign

:06:38.:06:46.

before. Kelly Ann Conway is they veteran of Republican polling, she

:06:47.:06:50.

goes in to run the discipline, she will travel with Mr Trump on the

:06:51.:06:54.

plane to try to keep them on discipline. Steve Bannon is an

:06:55.:07:01.

interesting choice, a big figure in the conservative movement, Breitbart

:07:02.:07:07.

news, described as the only news organisation that is more Trump than

:07:08.:07:14.

Trump himself. He has not worked on political campaigns, so this will be

:07:15.:07:18.

a challenge for him, he will have to try to keep Trump and the enthusiasm

:07:19.:07:23.

and the movement and apparently they want more of these big rallies,

:07:24.:07:28.

paint this as an outsider 's' elliptical movement taking on the

:07:29.:07:33.

establishment, he will have to try to do that while running what is

:07:34.:07:39.

probably one of the most difficult political organisations in the

:07:40.:07:44.

world, winning the presidency is about nuts and bolts, hard work,

:07:45.:07:48.

having people on the ground and there is none of that yet in the

:07:49.:07:52.

Trump campaign, they have to start building that fast. I can see a

:07:53.:07:59.

tweet from one of the main Washington political feeds saying

:08:00.:08:02.

Washington lawmakers are urging the central Republican Party to cut ties

:08:03.:08:10.

with Donald Trump. I don't see you will have the Republican National

:08:11.:08:15.

committee cutting ties. You have Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell who

:08:16.:08:19.

said they are going to vote for him and are backing him, so what you

:08:20.:08:24.

might see is if Trump carries on doing this badly in the polls in

:08:25.:08:29.

what we call battle ground states, states that the Democrats and

:08:30.:08:34.

Republicans will fight over, they are disappearing into Hillary 's

:08:35.:08:40.

column at an alarming rate, and if that carries on happening you might

:08:41.:08:43.

see some redirection of Republican Party funds to Senate races and

:08:44.:08:50.

house races in order to try and keep Congress in Republican hands. We

:08:51.:08:57.

will talk again, I'm sure, thank you, Katty Kay live in Washington,

them is Leucate, in Southern France. Chris Bockman recorded

:09:17.:09:22.

this report there. This family resort in Leucate

:09:23.:09:28.

is just the latest to ban the burkini on the beaches,

:09:29.:09:31.

but in the wake of huge media interest the mayor has decided

:09:32.:09:34.

to decline any interviews, However, no-one I've spoken to here,

:09:35.:09:38.

and they come here regularly each year, has ever seen anyone

:09:39.:09:45.

wearing a burkini here. Some people have been fined

:09:46.:09:49.

on beaches near Cannes but not here, which begs the question,

:09:50.:09:54.

has that been done deliberately as a political statement

or because there are concerns People I spoke to seemed

divided on the issue. TRANSLATION: We are in France after

all, from a personal point of view it doesn't bother me that if you do

:10:19.:10:23.

to beaches due to swimming or get a tan, you should be in a bathing

:10:24.:10:27.

suit. It doesn't shock me if they wanted to be like that but I think

:10:28.:10:32.

everyone should behave like most French people and put on a normal

:10:33.:10:36.

swimming costume and everyone will be happy. TRANSLATION: It is just

many beachgoers are wondering where Over the coming days,

more towns and beaches will probably Will mayors with lakes

Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:14:18.:14:23.

A senior Olympic official has been arrested in Rio by police

:14:24.:14:27.

He's suspected of passing tickets to touts to be sold illegally.

:14:28.:14:35.

Let's look at what is coming up after Outside Source. If you were

:14:36.:14:42.

watching outside the UK, its world News, with the story of the British

:14:43.:14:48.

millionaire whose eyeing up a village, and in the UK, News at ten

:14:49.:14:57.

is next, with a plan to tackle childhood obesity in England.

:14:58.:15:01.

Campaigners say it is falling short of their expectations.

:15:02.:15:04.

One of Australia's controversial off-shore migrant detention

:15:05.:15:05.

Australia sends all asylum seekers who arrive in the country

:15:06.:15:09.

by boat to offshore detention centres in Papua New Guinea

:15:10.:15:12.

Even those who are found to be genuine refugees are not allowed

:15:13.:15:17.

In April Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court found that detaining

:15:18.:15:25.

asylum seekers and refugees on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea

:15:26.:15:30.

was unconstitutional, and today the Prime Minister said

:15:31.:15:32.

The question now is what happens to the 850 men housed on Manus Island.

:15:33.:15:51.

Officials said they won't be resettled in Australia. Most are

:15:52.:15:59.

from Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria, so voluntary repatriation is

:16:00.:16:05.

unlikely. They could be transferred to a second Australian training

:16:06.:16:13.

camp, although they have asked Cambodia and Malaysia to take in

:16:14.:16:17.

asylum seekers. This centre first opened in 2001 and closed in 2008,

:16:18.:16:25.

but reopened for years later due to a sharp rise in migrants coming by

:16:26.:16:30.

say. In 2013 Australian agreed to pay Papua New Guinea about $300

:16:31.:16:36.

million in aid in return for the Pacific nation rehousing refugees.

:16:37.:16:44.

In April judges in Papua New Guinea said the Manus Island facility was

:16:45.:16:50.

illegal. Canberra insisted its policy of sending asylum seekers

:16:51.:16:53.

offshore has saved lives at sea by deterring other migrants, but

:16:54.:16:59.

campaigners have said conditions in the centres are humane and Australia

:17:00.:17:04.

is turning its back on the desperate and vulnerable.

:17:05.:17:06.

In the past week we've brought you the news of leaked reports

:17:07.:17:13.

which show widespread abuse among inmates at Australia's other

:17:14.:17:15.

offshore detention centre on the island of Nauru.

:17:16.:17:18.

BBC Persian has spoken to a girl from Iran who's been in the camp

:17:19.:17:21.

for three years awaiting a decision on her case.

:17:22.:17:27.

These are her words spoken by an actor.

:17:28.:17:38.

Despite the harsh political situation in Iran I have never used

:17:39.:17:44.

pills for depression, but since I was sent here I was prescribed

:17:45.:17:48.

antidepressants. The doctors were insistent I was depressed and must

:17:49.:17:56.

take the pills. I am not alone, almost 90% of people here are now on

:17:57.:18:01.

strong antidepressants. We are being misused here, nothing will be

:18:02.:18:05.

changed, no one knows what is going on here, I'm really tired of telling

:18:06.:18:12.

the story constantly. A 16-year-old child is taking antidepressants. My

:18:13.:18:17.

roommate is mentally ill and sleeps 20 hours a day. This is all we do,

:18:18.:18:24.

we sleep all day. I have no idea about my future. Ever since and

:18:25.:18:29.

asylum seekers set himself on fire I have been thinking about death

:18:30.:18:30.

constantly. And if you want more information on

:18:31.:18:39.

those detention centres, you can find it on the BBC News website. In

:18:40.:18:48.

the Britain Olympics hockey final, the game is going on and you can

:18:49.:18:54.

find it live on the page. The winner will play the Netherlands to fight

:18:55.:18:57.

it out for the gold medal. In India, three people have been

:18:58.:19:00.

killed by kite strings. Kite flying is popular across India

:19:01.:19:05.

on Independence Day - Here's Neha Bhatnagar from BBC Hindi

:19:06.:19:11.

on how kite flying These particular kinds of threats

:19:12.:19:39.

and strings that are used for kites are coated with metal and glass to

:19:40.:19:43.

make them really sharp, to be able to compete and cut someone else's

:19:44.:19:50.

kite strings to loot the other person is tight and there is a

:19:51.:19:55.

celebration around it and you see children and adults running across

:19:56.:19:59.

streets to catch other kites, so that is why they have been coated

:20:00.:20:04.

with glass. So these aren't unusual, you would find them all over India.

:20:05.:20:10.

Yes, this is not the first incident like this, even when I was a child

:20:11.:20:16.

we would have gone kite flying and used these glass coated kite

:20:17.:20:21.

strings, I remember when we would venture out my mother would tell us

:20:22.:20:25.

to be careful and even while playing with it, it was common to come back,

:20:26.:20:32.

we would have cuts on our fingers at least, but perhaps the strengths has

:20:33.:20:37.

increased in the last few years, the extent to which metal and glass is

:20:38.:20:41.

being used has increased, which has made them lethal now. What is the

:20:42.:20:46.

connection between independent state in India and kites which you can use

:20:47.:20:52.

to attack other people's types? It has always been like that, are happy

:20:53.:20:58.

because Independence Day is a national holiday for the streets are

:20:59.:21:03.

empty, people come onto the parks, they would climb a terrace, they

:21:04.:21:08.

were like kites, we would celebrate in the morning and then everyone is

:21:09.:21:13.

out on the street with Derek kites, people gathered to see who's kite is

:21:14.:21:18.

the highest, it is commonplace that India also hosts this international

:21:19.:21:25.

kite flying festival in Gujarat, thousands of people come to

:21:26.:21:29.

participate and incidents have happened there where people have

:21:30.:21:32.

been injured because of these glass coated kite strings. BBC Hindi is an

:21:33.:21:38.

excellent place for your world news. We finish with a report

:21:39.:21:46.

about a dance called Passi-o. Its popularity is surging in some

:21:47.:21:48.

of Rio's poorest neighbourhoods and with the Olympics in town,

:21:49.:21:51.

suddenly a lot of people One dancer called

:21:52.:21:53.

Iguinho shows us how. It's a new style of their own thing,

:21:54.:22:02.

what is this, punk, Samba? No. This is the big party in a de

:22:03.:22:46.

Janeiro. When I started dancing Passinho, I came here. YouTube is

:22:47.:22:58.

the angel of Passinho because before YouTube, nobody knew about Passinho.

:22:59.:23:06.

Ten years ago, I danced Passinho only at parties in the favela. Now

:23:07.:23:13.

I'm professional and so I make food for my son, I'm making my house with

:23:14.:23:16.

the money of Passinho. The competition is very important

:23:17.:23:42.

now, we have battles from girls and battles from boys. It is good

:23:43.:23:47.

because Passinho now is a big movement. It's good because it shows

:23:48.:24:01.

the real Brazil. What I see in my home because I have Olympics that in

:24:02.:24:09.

my head I have a war with the police, with the guns, but in the

:24:10.:24:16.

favela have culture, have peoples. You see the Brazilian vibe, you see

:24:17.:24:24.

the good work, because the boys fighting, but the boys are friends.

:24:25.:24:28.

Life is the same. That is quite a hard act to follow,

:24:29.:24:42.

just as well it's the last item. Thank you for watching. You can get

:24:43.:24:48.

full coverage of the Olympics through BBC News and BBC sport

:24:49.:24:53.

available via your smartphone. I'll speak to you at the same time

tomorrow. Goodbye.
