:05:22. > :05:23.Getting these relationships off on the right foot is important,

:05:31. > :05:32.With me is Roger Boyes, Diplomatic Editor of the Times
:05:33. > :05:39.newspaper and former Berlin correspondent.
:05:40. > :05:44.Thank you for joining us. What do you think having seen those two
:05:45. > :05:49.formidable women together for the first time as leaders? There are
:05:50. > :05:54.very similar. They are children of the manse, the daughter of Vickers.
:05:55. > :06:00.Just as Gordon Brown was the son of a minister, there comes a certain
:06:01. > :06:07.attitude to work and duty. And a certain boring this. It all comes
:06:08. > :06:11.together into a certain attitude. It will work together well. It is
:06:12. > :06:15.whether the German national incident -- interest coincides with ours.
:06:16. > :06:18.Does it help the Theresa May initially was a remain candidate,
:06:19. > :06:23.she was not the one pushing for Brexit? At the same time, both these
:06:24. > :06:29.leaders want the best for their countries and ultimately that is the
:06:30. > :06:36.most important thing, isn't it? Theresa May being a Remainer, she
:06:37. > :06:40.ideology ice with the Germans and the rest of Europe. Dexit is only
:06:41. > :06:46.one small ingredient as far as Angela Merkel's calculations go,
:06:47. > :06:50.there will be the French presidential election which could
:06:51. > :06:56.turn out to be a success for Marie Le Pen. And the migration deal with
:06:57. > :07:02.Turkey could collapse. It is looking very vulnerable. And she has her own
:07:03. > :07:06.election in September, 2017. All this will harden attitudes. Also
:07:07. > :07:09.change attitudes towards immigration. The entire nation of
:07:10. > :07:15.the discussion with Germany will change and it will change to reflect
:07:16. > :07:19.generally's interests than hours. And this is going to be quite a
:07:20. > :07:24.complex time. Many would say this referendum came to early. What about
:07:25. > :07:29.the personality question and the women questioned, it is striking to
:07:30. > :07:33.see two women leaders, they are both fought as getting down to business,
:07:34. > :07:38.on top the detail? Theresa May showing her strength in the last
:07:39. > :07:43.week, complete cabinet reshuffle. You have followed Angela Merkel
:07:44. > :07:50.closely in Berlin, how will she play it? I do not remember one single
:07:51. > :07:57.memorable press conference with Angela Merkel out of 50 or 55 that I
:07:58. > :08:02.have gone too. She is absolutely capable of meandering, of fudging
:08:03. > :08:08.and making decisions in her own time but not in the face of the press.
:08:09. > :08:14.And that Theresa May has the same instincts then we are in for a
:08:15. > :08:19.rather back door, behind closed 's style of government. This is not
:08:20. > :08:22.going to be a very public diplomatic event. This renegotiation. Thank you
:08:23. > :08:26.very much for your time. In the United States,
:08:27. > :08:28.a member of Donald Trump's campaign staff says she is responsible
:08:29. > :08:32.for passages in a speech by Melania Trump, which resembled
:08:33. > :08:34.parts of an address given by the First Lady,
:08:35. > :08:45.Michelle Obama, in 2008. She issued a statement apologising
:08:46. > :08:49.for the entire row in the campaign. It's the latest development
:08:50. > :08:51.in the Republican National Convention - which has officially
:08:52. > :08:53.given Donald Trump its nomination The BBC's Gary O'Donoghue is there
:08:54. > :09:07.for us. The twists and turns already in this
:09:08. > :09:11.speech saga. Lanier come's appearance on Monday night would be
:09:12. > :09:15.one of the highlights of this week and it has become so but not because
:09:16. > :09:21.of the way that the trunk campaign wanted. As soon as she stepped off
:09:22. > :09:24.the page sheet -- of the stage she was accused of plagiarising Michelle
:09:25. > :09:33.Bama. Here is a comparison between the two. From a young age my parents
:09:34. > :09:39.impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life.
:09:40. > :09:44.That your word is your bond. And you do what you see and keep your
:09:45. > :09:52.promise. That you treat people with respect. They showed me values and
:09:53. > :09:58.morals in the daily life. You work hard for what you want in life. That
:09:59. > :10:04.your word is your bond, that you do what you say you will do. That you
:10:05. > :10:08.treat people with dignity and respect even if you do not know them
:10:09. > :10:14.and even if you do not agree with them. We want our children in this
:10:15. > :10:18.nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength
:10:19. > :10:25.of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. We want our
:10:26. > :10:28.children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit
:10:29. > :10:35.to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your
:10:36. > :10:43.willingness to work hard for them. The trunk campaign for 36 hours
:10:44. > :10:47.trying to hold the line, rejecting any suggestions of plagiarism going
:10:48. > :10:51.on. -- the Donald Trump campaign. The statement came from a speech
:10:52. > :10:57.writer and she said what happened was that in talking to Lanier Trump,
:10:58. > :11:04.she became aware she admired Mrs Obama and later for a long time. And
:11:05. > :11:10.that Milan near Trump also read out some passages from Michelle Obama's
:11:11. > :11:15.speech to heart which at a later stage became incorporated into the
:11:16. > :11:19.speech. She did not check the words of Michelle Obama herself and she
:11:20. > :11:25.apologise. She did for her resignation which the Trump campaign
:11:26. > :11:29.would not accept. We are expecting to see Donald Trump, how much do you
:11:30. > :11:37.think this entire affair has damaged his campaign? We were told that he
:11:38. > :11:43.was furious when this came out. The Trump campaign spent the last day or
:11:44. > :11:46.so time to push back on this story rather than talking about the
:11:47. > :11:53.triumph of the speech which was a good speech, it was well delivered,
:11:54. > :11:56.in an attempt to humanise Donald Trump and his candidacy, if you
:11:57. > :12:01.like. They will be glad that there has been some line drawn under this.
:12:02. > :12:05.It issued early embarrassing. It is not very professional for a start.
:12:06. > :12:10.You expect people doing speech writing at that level, that effort
:12:11. > :12:14.for the presidential campaign, to check out things properly. And
:12:15. > :12:20.Donald Trump pitches that he is 1 million miles away from the Bamas
:12:21. > :12:29.and the Clintons, he has not been in common with those people. The speech
:12:30. > :12:33.was -- speech writer has been lifting passages from Michelle Obama
:12:34. > :12:37.and it does not do him any favours. They will hope this is a flash in
:12:38. > :12:41.the pan that other things will come along to overshadow it. Such as the
:12:42. > :12:43.fact that Donald Trump is the nominee and lawmakers make his
:12:44. > :12:47.formal acceptance tomorrow night in this arena here in very much.
:12:48. > :12:49.We've got lots more on the Republican National

:12:55. > :12:57.As well as all the latest updates there's also a look
:12:58. > :12:59.at Donald Trump's running mate Mike Pence who's speaking later

:13:56. > :14:00.up and another rebel tank approaches. Again he is prepared to
:14:01. > :14:05.sacrifice himself. Again, he survives. Injured but defiant. He
:14:06. > :14:09.says it was a duty to defend his country and the president.
:14:10. > :14:16.TRANSLATION: We heard the tanks were approaching while firing,
:14:17. > :14:19.all I could do was respond with the three stones that I had,

:15:32. > :15:34.too afraid to go on camera, fearing that any critical comments
:15:35. > :15:36.by an academic might be used to round them up.
:15:37. > :15:38.Free speech and thought are cherished by these universities,
:15:39. > :15:41.but the worry is that after the coup, Turkey
:15:42. > :15:52.The students we found felt divided. Deflation Mac if it has infiltrated
:15:53. > :15:55.within the university then the government would want to cleanse
:15:56. > :16:04.them out as the dead in the army or the Interior Ministry. All students
:16:05. > :16:08.will be concerned. The education system will collapse. Students will

:17:01. > :17:04.doing? I have spoken to academics. There is an overall feeling of
:17:05. > :17:08.anxiety with academics. The country is going through a fast changing
