Politically correct German education officials have ordered a character called Bruno in a new children's book to be renamed Aydan.

Officials in Hamburg were reportedly unhappy at having a character with the same name as Sacha Baron Cohen's Nazi-praising Austrian journalist Bruno.
They also wanted something that would not offend the Muslim community, and so chose the Turkish name Aydan.
They have also demanded that more Muslim characters be put in and that women have equal character status as men in the stories and said that disabled people must also feature in the book.
The book, The Adventures of Aydan, is described as "an attempt to bring dull topics such as politics and democracy closer to kids".
A local council spokesman said: "We want this book to appeal to as many people as possible and be as accessible as possible as the themes and subjects addressed in it are important to everyone."
