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

Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.

Kellyanne Conway promoted the clothing range of

the President's daughter in a live interview - something federal

We still wait for a court ruling on Mr Trump's travel ban.

I've a report from Montana, focusing on those who support it.

Those people need to understand that the women of Montana at an too. --

at armed. There have been more revelations

from the UN about the treatment of the minority muslim

community in Myanmar. If you haven't seen downhill

skateboarding before, you'll want to stick

around for this! There's a poll out by

Morning Consult and Politico The poll of more than 2,000

registered voters found 55% support the ban,

38% oppose it. The state of Montana is home to one

of the biggest anti-immigration That's despite the fact the state

has resettled less than 20 refugee The BBC's Aleem Maqbool

went to find out why. I believe that what we've

seen with our President This is a man who

couldn't be happier. He is heavily involved in local

politics, and he's a preacher. His Christian compassion, though,

does not extend to those he feels If they come among us

and then try to enact If groups of radical Islamic people

begin to show up who will eventually attempt to harm our women,

those militant people need to understand that the women

of Montana are armed. He says those who are protesting

against Donald Trump's immigration policies do not represent

the real America. This is a local rally

in support of the refugees. Not a bad turnout for a weekday

lunchtime in the snow. But these are certainly not

the loudest voices on this issue The state has one of the most

high-profile anti-immigrant campaigns and, before the election,

had one of the biggest anti-refugee The anger for many is directed

mainly at Muslims, something local

politicians are tapping into - After days of debate,

the state Senate has just passed a bill to say Sharia law

can't be applied in Montana. This woman and her family arrived

here just a couple of months ago. They fled Eritrea with no choice

about where the UN sent them. After more than four years

of vetting, they landed in Montana - nervous, shy about

talking on camera, and to this storm

of anti-immigrant sentiment. What's striking in Montana

is all the focus on immigration is happening in an entire state

the size of Germany with a population of just 1 million,

where fewer than 20 refugee families have been resettled

since the mid-90s. But as far as many here

and across America are concerned, there is simply no room

for the immigrants, to whom the door

should be firmly shut. If you want on demand coverage of

the Trump administration, you can get it from the BBC News app.

We know the World Cup is going to expand to 48 teams

in 2026 and now football governing bodies around the world have begun

How is this shaping up? Uefa macro the first to throw their hat into

ring. They want more of their own represented, the 116 teams to be

European, three more than played the last World Cup in Brazil. Those

teams are kept apart in the group phase to give European team is the

best chance of going through to the last 32 and because the World Cup

will have 16 groups each, the top two in each group will go through to

the knockout phase, Europe want all of its teams to get the knockout

phase. Uefa may feel this is a realistic request but it is an early

test for the's claim to be more transparent in the light of its

scandal stained past. Presumably, some of the other big footballing

bodies around the world have their own shopping lists. We're still

waiting to hear officially from other organisations but they will

all want more of their own teams taking part. Uefa might not have it

all way. The Fifa president in the past said the World Cup as to be

more inclusive, adding that football is more than just Europe and South

America, saying it is truly global now. He added that the only sure

thing is that everyone will have more representation than they have

had in the past and it is for a decision could be made on this by

May. The 2018 Winter Olympics will take

place in Pyeongchang, South Korea. To mark the occasion, organisers

unveiled the Games' Olympic torch. It's the first time South Korea has

hosted the winter games and, in doing so, it'll complete

the grand slam of the winter and summer games, a football

World Cup and a World Athletics Germany, Japan, Italy and France

are the only others to do it. There was also this

message to North Korea. We are opening participation borders

to all other countries including North Korea. We welcome their

participation. We would like to say that North Korea not only has a duty

to participate in the winter Olympics but also has the authority

to engage in the Olympics. Continuing our daily effort

to cover sports that don't get too much coverage,

this is speed downhill bike riding. This is him going down a mountain

in Chile's Atacama Desert. He broke the record,

hitting 167kmph. It took him 650 metres and 11

seconds to hit the top speed. The parameters of the record meant

it had to be a gravel-based mountain and it had to be

on an unmodified mountain bike. It is quite specific but he made it

to the bottom and he looks relieved. I think his colleagues were worried,

he pulls off the helmet and in the end, he is smiling. Congratulations

to him. Continuing the downhill theme,

this is downhill skateboarding. These guys have battled for many

years! He is getting pretty excited. We've been in touch with the

International Downhill Federation. The first event of the World Tour

is next week in Australia ad we'll have highlights plus an interview

with one of the racers. If you're watching an thing, I have

got sport that needs to be covered, let us know, get in touch by

Twitter, e-mail, social media, and we will pick up any of the

suggestion to make. The Kenyan High Court has told

Kenya's government that it can't shut the largest refugee camp

in the world. Dadaab is close to the border

with Somalia and it's so big you can About 260,000 Somali

refugees call it home. These pictures show

how they are living. This camp was set up

in 1991 for people fleeing The Kenyan government had wanted

to forcibly repatriate them. A government spokesperson

told the Kenyan media... He did not want to discriminate

against Somalis but the camp had to be closed for security reasons. We

also have a release from the Kenyan government saying it will appeal

this decision by the highest court in the land.

essentially says that to do this would be unconstitutional because it

would contravene the very principles of how Kenya is founded when it

comes to human rights. This is a decision that says Kenny needs to

put the rights of people first before they go into thinking about

how this will affect the security, it needs to be done in a humane way,

this seems to be the message the court is trying to get across and

human rights groups across the country were happy to receive this

ruling today. Is a big political issue? It certainly has been, and

this was a very big issue for the government for they first raised in

2016, and they said unequivocally that this decision would not change,

they had to close the camp because of security concerns. The main

concern is that al-Shabab, a militant group affiliated to

Al-Qaeda, is hiding within the camp. So this is a very big security

issue. In terms of practicality, if the government were unable to do

this, where do they suggest 250,000 Somalis go? Back to Somalia is the

suggestion that there are a number of issues already. Somalia is not

quite ready to receive these refugees, health, education, all of

those things need to be put in place before these refugees come back. The

size of the camp is shocking. It is the third-largest city in Kenya

after Mombasa and Nairobi so this is thousands of people we're talking

about on the government has already failed to meet a deadline it has for

themselves, extending that because the sheer scale of the project. It

does seem that even though they want to do it quickly it might not be

practical do so. When we come back, we'll be looking

at a new study that says the way orangutans communicate is linked

to the origins of human language. Private tenants in England

are being unfairly evicted and a new law to protect them isn't

working, according to MPs. The law was introduced to stop

people being thrown out of their homes because they'd

complained about the state Damp, mould, faulty electrics,

and broken windows and boilers that They're all classed

as category one hazards. In other words, they're so bad

they pose a risk to people's health. And they're things Amjid Chowdri

from Leeds City Council's Rogue Landlords Unit

is all too familiar with. This is rented out, private rented

accommodation, people living here? People paying to rent here, making

complaints, nothing happening, and then they could be under threat

of a revenge eviction That's the reason why they're not

coming forward to the council When I first came here, I did not

want to move in. I do not want to keep complaining because they might

kick me out. What would happen to you if you did get evicted? I would

be on the street. Because I have been on the street and it ain't

nice. I have been on the street and it is horrible. That is why you do

not want to complain too much. Government figures suggest 1 million

private rented properties do not meet its own decent homes standard.

What is that? MPs who helped hold the government to account say rogue

landlords are avoiding their responsibilities. I cannot believe

that there aren't that number of authorities when no one has been

subjected to avenge a fiction. The government says revenge evictions

are rare and pans to a new door councils have all the power they

need to stop them. This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story is: Key Trump advisor

Kellyanne Conway has been reprimanded by the White House

after she promoted a clothing range owned

by Donald Trump's daughter, Miss Conway told a breakfast

television programme "go Coming up shortly on BBC News:

If you're outside of the UK, They'll have plenty more

on Donald Trump's immigration ban, including the latest on those

comments from his nominee Here in the UK, the

News at Ten is next. They'll have a report

looking at NHS wait times. Figures leaked to the BBC suggest

a record number of people spent more than four hours in accident

and emergency units Let's update you on the push

to retake Mosul from Back in October, the Iraqi

government offensive began. It was front page news around

the world and, for a while, This was UK tabloid

The Daily Mirror. Press TV, which is funded by Iran,

quoted the Iraqi Prime Minister, saying, "The Time For Victory Has

Come." The Iraqi army controls

the eastern half of Mosul. The West remains in control of

Islamic State. We have seen comments posted online earlier by New York

Times correspondence saying the city looks remarkable, driving past open

Cabaye joints. Those reports of relatively normal lives. This though

has also brought out comments from the top US military commander

saying, we will see both most sought and Raqqa campaigns conclude, that

is my attempt. We asked Hadya Alalawi

from BBC Arabic to look The Iraqi army has actually been

attacking the western side by some missiles,

using the help of the I think the biggest problem

at the moment is how they're going to connect from the eastern

side to the western side because of the bridges that the US

actually attacked at the beginning Now, IS, what it did is, actually,

it's trying to destroy these bridges completely so they can't cross over

from one side to the other, and I think that is one

of the biggest problems, actually, the Iraqi army is facing

at the moment as well as putting together all its forces

and preparing it forward because there's going

to be a huge offensive. And IS still has the necessary

supply lines to the west And it can still get

supplies to its fighters Yes, it can, and I think

the problem right now as well is because the western side,

because this is literally the last stronghold in Iraq, if they lose it,

they are literally losing So what they are doing

is they are trying to get as much support they can to the western

side, and I assume also that they are going to be able

to get more support from Raqqa. So this is why it was quite

interesting to hear the US Is it becoming politically difficult

for the Iraqi government? There was a stage when we were

following this day by day but clearly Mosul's not

about to fall any time soon. No, I think the suggestion

that Mosul and Raqqa both are going to fall,

I don't think that's very realistic. They are fighting with a very

strong group of fighters, they have a lot of weapons,

they are trained well, It took them three months just

to take the eastern side of Mosul, six months to take the western side

and, as well as Raqqa, Back to Rakhine State

in Myanmar and the treatment UN officials have told

Reuters that the death toll in a recent security crackdown

there could be over 1,000. The UN also recently released

a report describing widespread The BBC's @JonahFisherBBC called

that report a game changer. He said the Burmese government would

not be able to dismiss this matter as the hinge propaganda.

I asked the BBC Burmese's Soe Win Than whether the government

was still denying that there was a problem.

When this report was released last week, then the human rights chief

spoke to Aung San Suu Kyi directly for over an hour.

In that conversation, Aung San Suu Kyi said

that the government would investigate all the allegations

Another development today is that the military itself has

formed a committee headed by the military Inspector General

to specifically look into those allegations.

But would you trust the military to assess

That's what the international human rights groups have...

Already, the government has formed a commission to investigate

what is going on in Rakhine State, which is headed by the Vice

So even at the outset, when it was formed, the human rights

activist said that this is not trustworthy because it is headed

by a military general who would exonerate,

if there are, the atrocities committed by the military.

A new study says the way orangutans communicate is linked

The sounds they make are called kiss squeaks.

The research is from Durham University.

Exactly what the messages are that are embedded in these kiss squeak

calls that these researchers have studied is not entirely

clear, but they can see that they are communicating

So, essentially, this has been a ten-year listening

These researchers started this ten years ago, recording and watching

the orangutans and listening to them as they made these

Now, what they see, crucially, is that they will combine these

calls in different ways with other signals and with different sounds,

with call-out vowel-like sounds, with shaking branches and gestures,

and what they are suggesting, what they think this means,

is that they are trying to reiterate the same message by combining these

sounds again and again to get their point across.

Now, what that means, critically, is that that's

10 million years ago, when we shared a common ancestor

with these great apes, that's what our ancestors may have

been doing when they combined the first sounds to create syllables

that would then be combined into words and it would

So that's what they think they are seeing.

By combining these sounds in different ways, these animals

are trying to reiterate the message, and that could be an early

glimpse at the very first formations of words.

Explain to ask the process the scientists believe happened between

the point these orangutans arrived and the point we are at now.

Essentially, these kiss squeaks, the reason they looked at these, because

there has been a lot of research done into communication in great

apes, orangutans were overlooked because they do not communicate that

much. These kiss squeaks are formed similar locally to how our

consonants are formed. They are using their lips and tongue to

control airflow, they are posting their lips to make the sounds.

Consonants at the crucial building block in human language so what they

think is that these other precursor sounds of syllables, the sounds they

can combine and make slightly differently to create different

messages are early precursor is of what building blocks of our syllable

words would have been. Quite a few of you are commenting on

pictures I showed you live from the South African Parliament. This was

in the middle of President Zuma's state the nation address. As you

will see, it turned into a large punch-up which ended up with the EFF

members exiting Parliament. Quite a dramatic day. President Zuma did

finish a speech in the end. See you on Monday. Goodbye.

At this time of year, we can often get weather stories which reflected

the battle between winter in the spring, and that is what we have

seen this week across the pond in New
