Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

Let's have a look at the main stories.

The IMF has downgraded its growth forecast for the global call me and

is warning against Britain leaving the EU. I have a report from Kemal

Ahmed over the possible economic consequences of a Brexit in a pew

moments. The UN says Boko Haram has increased the number of children

eight uses in suicide attacks. We have the details of over 1

million children being displaced from its homes -- it uses.

Plus, Champions League tonight, the quarterfinals.

All of the latest scores. As promised, more on the IMF warning

that Britain leaving the EU would be bad for the British and global

economy. Kemal Ahmed's examining the reason behind the claim.

It is a Cluny cocktail. An extra risk that the decision

could cause severe damage. The IMF is not pulling punches. It

would create a lot of uncertainty. A vote to leave would set off a

process of two years, a lengthy divorce. With uncertainty at the

end. Despite the IMF downgrading the growth forecast, the government

welcomed the report today. The worst economic news, the better

chance the government has persuading voters to stick with the EU. We had

a stark warning from the IMF for the first time, they are saying that the

threat of Britain leaving the EU is having an impact on our economy and

they have cut growth forecasts. As a result, they say if we are to leave

the EU there will be a short-term impact on stability and long-term

costs for the economy. This is the clearest independent warning of the

taste of things to come if we leave the EU. I think we are better off if

we stay in the EU, that would make Britain stronger, safer and better.

The Treasury is certainly thinks this is a key moment. The IMF's

warning comes in three parts, it warns that the sterling could lose

its value. That is not so good for our holidays but could be good for

exports. It warns there could be a return of

market volatility. That could mean our pensions and savings investments

are affected. It also warns that trade could be disrupted.

Of course, the EU is our most important trading partner.

Whatever the IMF warns, there are plenty of people who disagree

fundamentally with their analysis. The IMF is an important

organisation, it is closely connected to the EU, and the

managing director, the French finance minister, it is bound to

reflect their views. At the end of the day, this is a matter of

opinion. The IMF is often, like other institutions, wrong in the

forecast is and the opinions offered.

Don't forget, a couple of years ago George Osborne had a spat with the

IMF over its gloomy forecasts for the UK economy. It demanded they

revised them and rethought them. They are not always right. This is

not just about judgment, will economic uncertainty give way to a

brighter future? Those who support and exit believe

it would. There would be a fairly short period of uncertainty. It's

bound to be because there are things changing. There will be winners and

losers, before long it gives way to a different world indeed. Britain

can take advantage of being outside of the EU. That is what the IMF does

not seem to have focused on at all. Next week sees the arrival in

Britain of this man, President Barack Obama, have is likely to

deliver another warning on leaving the EU.

He should be well aware of the IMF's views.

The chief economist used to be his key adviser.

Whether you are watching in the UK and will be voting in the referendum

on Britain's membership of the EU or outside of the UK and you are

interested, there's a raft of information on the issues at stake.

Go to the front page of the BBC News website, you will easily find your

way to it. Let's talk about Chatbots, we were

going to do this a few minutes ago, but that is fixed.

Chatbots are applications that you can use to chat online.

Like Seery on the iPhone. They are a big deal already but they look like

they will get bigger already. -- Siri. Facebook will launch an app

store later this week. Microsoft is onto it as well. The boss has said

this... We created one of our own to explain a bit more about them. So,

what is a Chatbot? Why are they popular now? Recent

developments have given them the ability to learn from data how the

brain works. It is due to be happening soon in New York. What

does the future look like? A Chatbot can be your personal assistant, a

software butler. They can tell you what the weather is like, set up

meetings, and do other things. But you won't eventually take over,

right? Err... Let's speak to Dave Lee, live from San Francisco.

I am confused that Chatbots have been around for a while, why this

hype now? The hope is that while they have been around for quite some

time, the hope is that they will be quite good as opposed to fairly

gimmicky and ridiculous. The reason why that would happen is a company

like Facebook with 1.6 billion users is able to monitor how people can

talk to each other in the real world and through messaging applications,

and apply the knowledge to the Chatbot engine. The hope is as well

as there being a lot of humans on Facebook, we can chat to these

Chatbots. A lot of people are excited but we

will have to wait and see whether the Chatbots live up to the

expectation that Mark Zuckerberg has set up for them today.

Tell me about what I could find? I pick up my phone, and I go to the

macro one store that focuses on Chatbots. What services will be

available to me? -- app store. An example is rather than going to an

online shopping website and going through page after page of what you

are trying to find, when you want to buy something you don't have to win

to your credit card details, with a Chatbot, because it knows who you

are and your details, you can ask it "I would like a blue shirt for about

$30". The Chatbot can show you the choice is, do you want to buy? And

you say, yes please. It is natural language. That is why people can get

into this, they think that artificial intelligence is good

enough and powerful enough that these will feel natural. In the past

they have not felt that way. Also, some news organisations like CNN

have began to experiment with it, a Chatbot could pop up and say, would

you like to hear today's headlines? And you say yes or no. Hopefully in

the next couple of years, and for Mark Zuckerberg, it will come into

fruition. Imagine Mark Zuckerberg, let's talk about him. Online, people

are talking about Chatbots but some people are talking about how he has

got more political than usual? It was interesting when he was given

his keynote this morning, you began by talking about a thinly failed

attack on Donald Trump, saying the way to improve the world is not to

build walls, that proposed war between Mexico and the US, like

Donald Trump has been saying. Mark Zuckerberg is moving into becoming a

political figure, that makes sense, if Facebook was a country it would

be the biggest in the world. Many people suspect that maybe in several

years to come, we will see him entering politics formally. That

will be subbing for him to comment on in future but people are

wondering whether it is some thing he aspires to do, as well as being

the boss of the biggest social network in the world -- something

for him to comment on. David was wise for us in San

Francisco. Thank you.

It is interesting -- was live. I downloaded the Courts app

recently, it gives you different information according to what you

want. Let's talk about the sport. In

football, it is the first two of the quarterfinals in the Champions

League. Two games happening now, Manchester City are hosting PSG, 2-2

in the first leg. Real Madrid try to overturn a 2-goal

deficit will spike. They are at home, they lost 2-0 to

Wolfsburg a couple of weeks ago. Ten hey, I'm working hard on

television here, I cannot keep completely up-to-date -- Tim Hague.

But it was going well for Real Madrid?

A huge Night of Champions League football as you mentioned. A massive

ride for Manchester City. They have beaten PSG 1-0 at home.

-- massive night. 3-2 on aggregate. While there was

not much action for the 53,000 sell-out crowd, it was gripping.

What about this? Sergio Aguero, one of the best strikers in the world,

he earned this penalty for Manchester City, then he missed it.

We know all about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he went close a couple

of times with some free kicks but late in the game, the Belgian

midfielder scored a great goal from outside of the box. 15 minutes to go

before the end, he scored. 1-0. What about Real Madrid? A dramatic game,

when in need, Chris John Ronaldo is the man, -- Cristiano Ronaldo is the

man. He came to the rescue as usual. What about this grandstand finish?

Just before the end, he made a hat-trick. Real Madrid were through,

3-2 on aggregate. His 37th for the team. Almost as good as you! You

cannot get away with that! Thank you very much. 37th?

Unbelievable from him. All of the coverage on the BBC Sport

application. In next seasons Champions League,

Leicester City are certain be taking part. That is because they are on

course to win the Premier League. If by some unlikely event they

don't, they have a 7-point lead at the moment, they will qualify for

the Champions League but they have to come into the top four.

It is not such as a prize that tickets for the last league game at

Leicester are coming in quite expensively... Some are up for sale

for ?15,000. People are getting upset about that.

Perhaps it was inevitable. This is the chairman of the Leicester City

supporters club. He gave his response. It seems that everyone

wants to jump onto the bandwagon. And see us win. It is such a

worldwide story about Leicester City, and what they've achieved. To

play that many -- to pay that much for a ticket, it was not long ago

that we would have paid that much for a player. We were in

administration. Over the last for five years, it has built up to this,

we are at the top of the tree and everyone wants to see us. Bearing in

mind when we talk about ?15,000, tickets normally cost between ?25

and ?50. These are other tickets getting a

heavy mark-up. This story on the BBC website about Kobe Bryant's last

game. Tickets exchanging hands for 27 and

a half thousand dollars. His last game for the Lakers on Thursday

night, the highest scorer in NBA history.

The last game is against Utah and you will get coverage on that

through the BBC. In South Africa, their rugby team

has a new head coach. This is more worthy than normal, of

being reported on, the new man in the job is only the second person to

do it. -- the second black person to do it.

By 2019, half of the rugby squad has to be non-white.

This is him talking about the issue. This is South Africa. For a national

coach, to understand that you are living in South Africa, you cannot

come with the mentality that we are somewhere else. It is unique, that

uniqueness must make us stronger. Good luck to the new coach in South

Africa. In the next ten minutes or so, we will hear from Katty Kay on

the issue of equal pay, it is equal pay day in the USA.

In the UK, the Business Secretary Sajid Javid says that he is looking

at a series of options to help save the UK steel industry.

The three-hour emergency debate on the crisis was held today.

Our correspondent can tell us more. VOICEOVER: After two

full weeks of watching and waiting, are some

of the clouds over Britain's steel

industry beginning to lift? At Port Talbot Docks

Cafe, they know all about seeing life sunny side up,

there is optimism after the Government said that

they could come invest in the nearby works,

even Watching today's emergency debate,

this steelworker, Matthew, was hoping for more detail, there

was a hint that the MoD would buy more British Steel, but it was

the Government under attack. There has been what can only be

described as an ideological driven reluctance

to get involved as the crisis has deepened, a mixture

of indifference and incompetence. I am fighting for Britain's steel

workers every hour of the day,

I was fighting for them long before

crisis hit the headlines, I will go on fighting

For me, there is more of a glimmer of hope now, than

But if suppliers lose confidence in our ability to

pay the bills, we will not get raw materials, and then the coke ovens

If production will grind to a halt, it would not just be Tata

This haulage company carries its steel and has already

cut 40 staff and 150 are on the line.

It is the uncertainty of everything at this moment in time,

as we explained to the lads, we cannot look them in the eye

and say, there is going to be a takeover and

There is no doubt that having a huge steelworks

in South Wales has the created decades

whether the Government should keep that going.

At the moment, the plant is not making any money, without even

thinking about the pension deficit and clean up costs,

if you factor those elements into the rescue plan,

it is very hard to see what kind of steel price,

what kind of wages can be paid, to make the plan viable.

So much hangs on the next few weeks of

negotiations - the worrying and the waiting go on.

Welcome back. The lead story is that the International monetary fund is

lowering its forecast of the global economy, it's done this before. The

falling price of oil is one of the main reasons.

Let's have a look at what is coming up, if you're watching outside of

the UK, it is world News America looking at the imminent departure of

Ban Ki Moon as the UN Secretary-General and the people who

can replace him. In the UK, the News at ten reports

on the service to remember the victims of militant attacks in

Tunisia last year. 31 British people died in two

separate attacks. Another story that I wanted to mention to you. No

pictures on this, it's on the website, it is worth me quickly

updating you on it. Reports are that in Pakistan, a

device, possibly a grenade is being presented as evidence in a trial at

a Pakistani court blew up after a judge asked a police officer to show

how it worked. Evidently he found out. Two people were injured

including the police man. It was at an anti-terrorism court in Karachi.

That story is on the website. China is launching a national census

to try to assess how many rural children are being left behind when

their parents moved to the city to find work. At the moment, it is

believed these statistics are shocking, in the region of 61

million children are either in care of relatives or are completely

unsupervised. The BBC has made an animation to tell the story of one

boy, an 11-year-old called Tan. Here it is.

In China, not that long ago, most people lived in the countryside.

Looking after their animals and growing their own food.

Life was hard. People were poor. Then, everything started to change.

Factories sprung up, making things that people all over the world

wanted to buy. Suddenly, millions of people were on the move from the

countryside to huge new cities. There, they could get money by

working in the factories. But when the adults moved away, they were not

allowed to take their children with them. Millions of them were left

behind in the countryside. They are now known as the left behind

children. This is the story of one of them.

TRANSLATION: My name is Tan, I'm 11 years old and I live here with my

grandmother, brother and two cousins. My parents don't live here.

They work in another city. They both work in factories making clothes. My

parents don't earn much. They don't get to spend much time with us.

Thanks to their hard work, we are not down and out.

When Mum and dad come back to visit, I've run to meet them. I run a very

long way because I cannot wait to be close to them. What I love most is

to go fishing with them. On my own I can only catch one or two fish,

three at most. But when mum and dad are here, we catch lots of fish.

During Chinese New Year, mum and dad visit for longer. We set off

fireworks to celebrate. They start out small with not much life, but

then they fly high into the sky and explode suddenly. They are bright

and colourful, and very beautiful. It's not easy for mum and dad to

come back to visit us. They can only stay for a few days before they have

to leave again. I wish they could take me with them. I don't want to

be separated from them. I know it is hard for mum and dad to earn money.

I don't want to cause trouble for them, but I miss them so much. It's

very painful, but I cannot do anything about it. I don't want to

bother them. If I called them, I would disturb them. I can't do

anything but wait. I really want them to come back. When I grow up, I

will not leave here. This is my home. I want to do some thing big. I

want to be a boss, I will take my kids to my workplace so we can stay

together. The report was made by BBC

newsround. You can find it on mine if you want to show it to your

children or friends. -- online. In many countries there

are laws against paying women less than men, it happens in every single

one, and the pay gap exists across US society. You may recall actress

Patricia Arquette made a plea for equal pay in the movie industry in

her Oscar 's acceptance speech in 2014. She has spoken to Katty Kay

about this. This is some of the interview. I was a single mother at

20, struggling to feed my child. There were times I could not buy

food and groceries. And diapers at the same time. There is no reason

that women should be penalised economically. We now have one in

five hungry kids in America. The majority of them have single mothers

who are working full-time. There is a real price being paid, a human

price being paid with this economic discrimination.

If you're watching outside of the UK on BBC world News committee can see

the long version of that interview on

-- World News America. Thanks for watching, see you

tomorrow. We saw temperature differences across England alone

during Tuesday of 10 degrees or more. A tempter contrast being

played out across the UK and we will continue to do so -- temperature.
