Rove resigns
Top White House aide Karl Rove, seen by many as the brains behind George W Bush's presidency, has said he will resign at the end of August.
'I just think it's time,' Mr Rove said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, adding that he was quitting for the sake of his family. Mr Rove has worked with Mr Bush since 1993 when he ran for Texas governor. As Mr Bush's chief strategist, he is seen as instrumental in delivering election victories in 2000 and 2004.
The decision to step down comes as poll ratings for Mr Bush are at their lowest level since his election in 2000.
