:06:15. > :06:20.have led them to think they were victims of a robbery, no indication
:06:21. > :06:24.of any sort of violence. Ryan Lochte has now apologised for his actions.
:06:25. > :06:29.He said he should have been more careful and candid and had learned
:06:30. > :06:32.valuable lessons. It was an apology that Olympic organisers and
:06:33. > :06:37.Brazilian officials had been waiting for. We are glad of the apology. We
:06:38. > :06:43.welcome it. It is appropriate. We hope we can carry on as we have
:06:44. > :06:49.been, concentrating on the sport which has been marvellous. US
:06:50. > :06:51.Olympic officials have also apologised for the incident. It will
:06:52. > :06:55.be up to them to decide whether Ryan Lochte and his team-mate should be

:08:19. > :08:24.that includes 35 golds. They're followed by Great Britain

:08:33. > :08:35.Donald Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort has resigned just two
:08:36. > :08:38.months after taking the job. His departure comes after documents

:08:43. > :08:53.which he denies. Niall Stanage, Associate Editor with
:08:54. > :09:13.US political newspaper, The Hill. You do not start messing about with
:09:14. > :09:21.your campaign team at this point. And a previous member of the team
:09:22. > :09:29.was pushed out. This adds to the chaos of the campaign. Paul Manafort
:09:30. > :09:34.has worked with George Bush senior, Bob Dole, he is seen as a long-time
:09:35. > :09:37.Republican operative and is credited with stealing the Donald Trump
:09:38. > :09:42.campaign towards a more conventional style. Does his departure mean we
:09:43. > :09:47.will see a return to the original way that Donald Trump started out,
:09:48. > :09:52.with a brash and unconventional approach. That is conventional
:09:53. > :09:59.wisdom in Washington. The man who has replaced Paul Manafort is an
:10:00. > :10:05.executive with a very conservative, very hard charging news
:10:06. > :10:09.organisation. The feeling here is that Donald Trump felt that Paul
:10:10. > :10:12.Manafort was trying to constrain him too much. This is a return to the
:10:13. > :10:20.idea of letting Donald Trump be Donald Trump. Whether it works or
:10:21. > :10:25.not is another matter. Has anybody said anything about Paul Manafort's
:10:26. > :10:30.exact reasons for leaving the team? Not really. There are a combination
:10:31. > :10:33.of factors. There is that you clean issue which you mentioned. There is
:10:34. > :10:39.also the fact that once the new people were brought on board it
:10:40. > :10:44.seems like Paul Manafort was being sidelined. Initially he said that he
:10:45. > :10:48.was going to continue in the campaign, he was going to offer some
:10:49. > :10:53.long-term vision for the campaign. That that does not appear to be the
:10:54. > :10:56.case. His responsibilities were essentially taken away from him. The
:10:57. > :11:01.other surprising thing is how quickly he left. He only joined two
:11:02. > :11:06.months ago. Yes, that is quite a short tenure. The schools to the
:11:07. > :11:14.centre of Donald Trump and his campaign, apparently oscillating
:11:15. > :11:16.between running a very free form improvisational outsiders campaign,
:11:17. > :11:22.and trying to do something more conventional. Paul Manafort was
:11:23. > :11:26.identified with the more conventional approach. Note Donald
:11:27. > :11:32.Trump seems to have decided that was not working for him so he is
:11:33. > :11:36.returning to his original stance. You mentioned the two new additions
:11:37. > :11:40.to the team. What more do we know about them and their background?
:11:41. > :11:49.Steve Bannon is an executive in Washington. He is independently
:11:50. > :11:55.wealthy. He is connected with quite hardline conservative circles here.

:15:22. > :15:34.Thank you for speaking to us. Why do you think this debate is happening
:15:35. > :15:39.now? For the past year the atmosphere in Germany has become
:15:40. > :15:46.tense in regard to Muslims. We have had debates around the burqa for

:16:22. > :16:27.treating this topic which is making it impossible to tackle the reality
:16:28. > :16:32.we live in, the complex reality we live in. Let me put to you what the
:16:33. > :16:37.German interior minister says, he says it is about social cohesion, he
:16:38. > :16:42.said showing the face in public was essential to that. He is talking
:16:43. > :16:46.about a partial ban in places like schools and universities and public

:16:55. > :17:02.that it is sit -- that it is essential to social cohesion to show
:17:03. > :17:14.one's face? There are only a small number of women who where the face
:17:15. > :17:26.feel. I do not defend the face veal but I am worried about why we're
:17:27. > :17:33.having discussion now. -- the face veil. Why do we now have to discuss
