sarah: this is "dw news." u.s. republican presidential candidate donald trump sheds another campaign manager. paul manafort steps down one day after donald trump recruits a right-wing politician. he had been the man that politicians -- republicans were hoping would tone down donald trump's rhetoric. also coming up, germany's conservatives want to put receptions on muslim women wearing full face coverings. a new plan could outlaw the garments in public places and while driving.

and finally, disgraced swimmer ryan lochte apologizes for his behavior at the olympics. he and teammates vandalized a petrol station and allied to the police, saying they had been modes -- mugged. ♪ sarah: i am sarah kelly. thank you for joining us. the man that republicans had hoped would tone down donald trump's fiery rhetoric is leaving the campaign. his resignation comes one day after donald trump brought in a new face to lead his run to the white house. paul manafort was damaged by wrongdoings with the ukrainian leader, yanukovych. and with the poll numbers, there is a chance that donald trump's campaign could be looking expose. reporter: familiar face in cities across the united states.

statues like these are a project by an anti-trump activist group. the have been drawing crowds and getting a warm welcome from some in san francisco. >> i think it is brilliant. he needs to be brought down a peg. he think he is the greatest thing and this is an accurate depiction of who he really is. >> they should definitely keep it. reporter: why should they keep it? >> because he has the biggest ego. but, yeah complete idiot. , reporter: but the statues are not the only trouble for donald trump. he has been trailing hillary clinton in nationwide polls and battleground states. and his campaign manager has stepped down after two months. paul manafort had been effectively demoted days before in a shake-up of the campaign leadership. the top strategist seen here at the republican national convention had come under fire for links to pro-russian

politicians in ukraine. but donald had a surprise up his sleeve, saying for the first time he regretted making inflammatory comments. >> sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you do not choose the right words. or you say the wrong thing. i have done that. [applause] >> and believe it or not, i regret it. reporter: is this the new trump, or was the out of character apology a fluke? with less than three months to go until the elections, the new team is hoping the nominee will stay on message and get ahead with the voters. sarah: now we have perspective

on this from both sides of the aisle. eeva moore is with democrats abroad in berlin. and we also have thomas leiser with republicans overseas. he is remote tonight from frankfurt. i want to thank you both for joining us. thomas, you are a republican. you have been critical before of donald trump, though. what do you make of the yet another campaign chairman changeover just two months after taking the helm? are you surprised by this? thomas: nothing is surprising anymore. but i think we -- with sinking polls somebody does need to make changes. perhaps the new manager will be effective. sarah: we will see if that is the case. eeva, from the perspective of the democrats, what does this mean for hillary clinton? is this christmas coming early?

or does this potentially pose problems? eva: i do not know if there are problems that this poses. her campaign is running along doing the work they need to do. i think it poses problems for the country that there is this chaos, but from a tactical democratic standpoint it is a good week. sarah: thomas, what do you make of the current lineup? we have now the former head of breitbart, that is a right-wing, some might say conspiratorial politician leading the charge to the white house. what does this say about the state of the republican party? thomas: i think the republican party has traveled far to the right, part of it was evident with ted cruz having the popularity he had. i think the breitbart people will continue that. and we just have to see how that plays out.

sarah: but trump, there has been at least a big plea from more mainstream republicans for him to broaden his message, so he can appeal to other people in the electorate. do you see any chance that -- of that happening? thomas: i would like to see a chance of that happening. i think that mr. trump seems to be playing to the same people who supported him during his primary. and now that the primary is over, one has to appeal to the nation as a whole and he may not be doing that. sarah: in the meantime, the trump campaign today released its first tv ad. it is aimed at immigration. i just want to show this briefly to you guys and get your reaction. >> hillary clinton's america, the system stays rigged against americans. syrian refugees flooding the -- flood in, and illegal

immigrants get to stay -- collecting social security, skipping the line. our border open, more of the same but worse. donald trump's america is secure, terrorists and dangerous criminals kept out. the border secure and families safe. change that makes america safe again. donald trump for president. >> i am donald trump and i approve this message. sarah: change that makes america safe again. this is playing very much to americans' fears. this was a winning strategy for bush-cheney for example. are you worried about what this could mean for clinton, because trump really has that fear thing nailed. eeva: i think it is working with a specific demographic and that needs to be taken seriously. even george w. bush understood demonizing immigrants was not good for the country or the party, so this is actually -- i see this as a very different to that approach. sarah: thomas, what do you make of the ad?

thomas: i am the son of immigrants, so it is not necessarily the most pleasing of ads. i think the numbers are skewed a little bit. the number of syrian refugees in america to me is relatively small. we have over a this year alone million in germany, the u.s. has 10,000 or so. sarah: ok. and eeva, i just want to ask you, because we have also seen today a little but more of a change in tone from trump. if he were to all of a sudden rush the fear away and have a more apologetic tone, perhaps a softer line, would that pose a significant challenge to hillary clinton? eva: it could. i am skeptical he has the discipline to do that, based on what we have seen. sarah: thank you very much for your insights, with eeva from

the democrats abroad joining us and thomas with republicans overseas. thomas: thank you. sarah: could germany become the latest country to ban the burqa. conservatives are pushing for constrictions -- restrictions. this is come from ministers from the center-right who have been discussing immigration. the interior minister says that the constitution could make it difficult to ban them completely, but the wearing of the garments should be restricted in certain circumstances. reporter: the conservative interior ministers want to show results, not only in enhancing security, but also in integrating migrants into german society. it comes in response to last month's terrorist attacks. >> we reject full-bodied veils, not just the burqa, but the

other kind that leaves only the eyes visible. we all agree on this. this is our common position. such avails have no place in open society, to show one's faith is an essential part of living together and social cohesion. we call on everybody to show their face. reporter: the cdu wants to ban the wearing of a full body veils in certain places, schools and universities, passport controls and demonstrations, and when driving. they also agree on restricting dual citizenship under certain circumstances. >> nobody who fights against us should remain a german citizen if he also has another citizenship. we are not talking about a large group, but it is a question of principle. we want to do with it.

-- deal with it. reporter: they want to beef up security but also promote immigration, so alongside more police and a video surveillance, they also want to -- marriage. national security and immigration are the main campaign issues for conservatives, but none of the measures can go into effect without the agreement of the coalition partners. security and immigration, topics addressed today will be the main issues of the conservatives in the general election of 2017. those are also the issues driving the voters of the right-wing parties. the cdu wants to show that we are taking concerns seriously and that includes discomfort at the site of a burqa. what does not seem to matter in the debate is that you hardly ever see a woman with her entire face covered in germany. sarah: and let's get a quick
