Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
America is expanding its presence in Syria. | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
It's sending 400 extra marines to support local militia trying | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
to drive the Islamic State group out of Raqqa. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
The new head of the US Environmental Protection Agency | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
claims carbon dioxide emissions are not a major | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Washington and New York States join Hawaii | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
in trying to block Donald Trump's revised travel ban. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Last month we brought you a BBC investigation | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
David Shukman has been back to the Ivory Coast to find out | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
what happened to baby Chimp Nemley Junior. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
And in OS Sport, we'll bring you more reaction to Barcelona's | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
amazing comeback in last night's Champions League match. | :00:57. | :01:18. | |
Scott Pruitt is the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
The EPA's mission statement lists its primary goal as protecting | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Bear that in mind when I tell you that Mr Pruitt says | :01:24. | :01:33. | |
that he doesn't believe that carbon dioxide is a primary | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
Here's the clip from a CNBC interview. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
I think that measuring with precision human activity on the | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
climate is very challenging to do it was tremendous disability -- one | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
disagreement about the degree of impact. I would not agree it is a | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
primary contributor into the global warming that we see. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
He might say there's tremendous disagreement. | :02:00. | :02:00. | |
Maybe if you talk to some conservatives in the US. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Not so much if you listen to scientists. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
If you go to his own agency's website you come across this. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
Human activities are contributing to climate change, primarily | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
by releasing billions of tons of carbon dioxide into | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
The UN has looked at this in detail with the help of hundreds of | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
scientists and they say... There's a scientific consensus | :02:29. | :02:43. | |
around this point too. There certainly isn't that consensus | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
at the top of the EPA. As well, Mr Pruitt, the man | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
who will be his chief of staff used to be chief of staff | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
to Senator James Inhof. He's one of Congress' most prominent | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
skeptics of climate science. I asked Anthony Zurcher what more | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
we know about Mr Pruitt's position. As Attorney General for the state of | :02:57. | :03:08. | |
Oklahoma he sued the EPA over 40 Times for various environmental | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
regulations. During his committee hearings he said that climate change | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
is happening but he wasn't quite sure how much of a human influence | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
there was on that, which is pretty much the conservative environmental | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
line right now, that things are changing but is too early and we | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
don't have enough science to regulate it. That is counter to what | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
a majority of scientists believe. I guess that while comments like | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
this make a lot of headlines, the real issue here is how these views | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
translate into policy. Exactly. The Obama administration has been | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
regulating the climate gases as a pollutant, carbon as a pollutant. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
The Supreme Court a few years ago ruled that the EPA could do that and | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
you heard Scott Brick say that the Congress should weigh in and it has | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
never determined whether or not to regulate carbon as a pollutant. All | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
the regulations the Obama legislation did were based on early | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
environmental clean air laws that did not directly address carbon. | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
With the political make-up of Congress at the moment, if they did | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
decide that carbon was a pollutant, they would then say it was not. It | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
looks like opposition to Donald Trump 's second travel ban is | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
gathering pace. The Trump administration would say | :04:34. | :05:09. | |
that this is an inaccurate description. We have been here | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
before because we had the initial drop ban and the initial successful | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
efforts to block it so I ask Anthony to compare and contrast what this | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
back then and what we are seeing this week. The first travel ban was | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
successfully opposed, based on due process grounds, in other words the | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
courts looked at this and the judges looked at this as dealing with | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
individuals who had green cards and had valid visas and in the US they | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
were coming to the US and they were revoked by the Trump administration. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
What the courts did not really touch or some of them did not really touch | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
was whether the travel ban was a violation of religious freedom. That | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
seems to be where this continuation of the original lawsuit is focusing | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
on, whether what we are seeing now in the second travel ban is a | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
circumscribed version of the first one, but both versions are focusing | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
on Muslim countries and are therefore de facto Muslim bands, | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
looking back for the descriptions that Donald Trump and his supporters | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
had over the course of the campaign, saying that they would change | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
immigration law to specifically target Muslims as a threat and these | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
lawyers and these states are arguing that that is unconstitutional and | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
violates the first Amendment freedom of religion protections. What is the | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
time frame on the legal processes that are about to unfold? They went | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
back to the original federal judge in Seattle and said you already | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
issued an injunction on the first ruling, now we want you to just | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
apply it to the second ruling. It is a rather narrow request and it | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
wouldn't take the judge long to conceivably either granted or not. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
In the original cased it just took a few days to issue the injunction so | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
if he steps on in this manner I wouldn't be surprised if he does in | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
the next few days. Next I want to play you a very interesting | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
interview relating to his business plans in Indonesia. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
President Trump's company is moving ahead with plans to build two luxury | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
The deal was signed months before Mr Trump announced | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
His Indonesian business partner is this man. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Seen here posing in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Hary Tanoesoedibjo is a billionaire with political ambitions of his own. | :07:25. | :07:40. | |
Do know who Donald Trump is? No, because I am from Indonesia. He is | :07:41. | :07:53. | |
president of America. Meet Indonesia 's Donald Trump. He is one of the | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
world's richest man. In 2016 he signed a billion-dollar deal to | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
build a Trump Tower and a first Trump resort in Bali. I went to | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
America and met with Donald Junior and when we signed the agreement in | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
America. Just a few months after the deal was signed Donald Trump | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
announced he was running for president of the United States. It | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
is a normal business deal and I have too underlined this. It is a | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
business relationship. The fact that he is the president of the United | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
States is not part of the business so I basically deal with the | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
children. Hary Tanoesoedibjo were given VIP treatment at the president | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
is swearing in and his inauguration parade. They have posted pictures of | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
him on the social media feeds. I've concern about the perception of a | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
conflict of interest? There is no conflict of interest. | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
Conflict-of-interest may happen if the project is agreed when he is the | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
president of the United States, but this happened long before actually, | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
he even decided to run for president. As President Donald Trump | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
has made some controversial decisions. In January he signed a | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
travel ban on people from seven Muslim majority nations, revising | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
that to six this week. Indonesia is not on the list but it is the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
world's most populous Muslim nation. Why would you want to work with | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
someone who appears to have anti-Islamic views? Mr Trump is not | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
banning the Muslims, his banning the country, the people of those seven | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
countries. We have to be very clear on that, nothing to do with the | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
Muslim people. Hary Tanoesoedibjo has set up his own political party | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
and already run for office once. He has not ruled out being president of | :10:03. | :10:03. | |
Indonesia one day. I'm working on the basis | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
you may have heard about 4-0 down from the first leg | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
of their Champions League tie And still needing three goals | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
with seven minutes to go. Then in the 95th and final minute, | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
substitute Sergi Roberto. This is one of many | :10:22. | :10:38. | |
notable celebrations. They didn't really come down the | :10:39. | :11:14. | |
quite a long time after that. You can find that clip online. Both | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
coaches had nights remember, here they are. Everybody from PSG, the | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
players, technical staff and the supporters are going through a bad | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
moment. What happened on the pitch was a very negative experience, a | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
missed opportunity as a club, and individually list club -- | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
opportunity to grow. The club wants to keep growing by playing matches | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
like the one we just had. It is a night which is difficult to explain | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
in words. This has been the script of a horror movie. I wouldn't even | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
say a thriller, but sheer horror movie, what a spectacular night at | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
the Stadium. I have never seen anything like it before. I cannot | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
think of a game when the tension was higher than today's. As ever, the | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
attitude from my players has been spectacular. They took so many | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
risks. It is impossible to take more risks than we did today. Above all | :12:08. | :12:17. | |
this is a victory of faith. This is a sport for nutters, clearly for | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
crazy people, those who were here tonight will remember it for the | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
rest of their lives. This is the front page of a French sports paper, | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
it translates as saying unspeakable, which probably speaks for quite a | :12:26. | :12:26. | |
lot of PSG fans. Barcelona has understandably been | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
hogging the headlines. Announcement for a widely | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
appreciated player. Xabi Alonso is retiring at the end | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
of this season with Bayern Munich. The International Ski | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
Federation Freestyle and Snowboard World Championships | :12:41. | :12:54. | |
are on at the moment, not the catchiest of titles | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
but it's a great event. The dual mogul mens final has been | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
getting a lot of attention. It didn't quite go | :13:02. | :13:14. | |
to plan for either. This isn't a race, you get judged | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
for the two main jumps as well, The guy who fell over first | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
was Japan's Ikuma Horishima, The Open Badminton Championships | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
are being played in The Japanese pair went | :13:33. | :13:42. | |
on to beat the Danes. The championships are running right | :13:43. | :14:12. | |
through the weekend. If you're in Birmingham I suggest | :14:13. | :14:23. | |
you get down there if the rallies are anything like that. Stay with us | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
because in a little while we have an update on the baby chimp that we | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
came across in a BBC investigation into the trafficking of animals in | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Ivory Coast. We have been back to see how that chimp is doing. | :14:37. | :14:48. | |
A national monument paid tribute to members of the military and | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
civilians that served in Iraq and Afghanistan has been unveiled in | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
London. The Queen at the ceremony watched by 2500 invited guests. | :14:57. | :15:17. | |
There have been many accounts of individual sacrifice | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
during the longest and most intense period of combat operations | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
This was a day to recognise the stories that have not been told. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
We meet in the presence of God to commemorate and give thanks | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
to all those civilians and members of the military who have served | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
682 service personnel lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. | :15:34. | :15:49. | |
The political decisions which put them in harm's way | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
No one has ever doubted the courage and dedication of every man | :15:54. | :16:03. | |
and every woman who travelled to a troubled region. | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
May this memorial commemorate the lives and service of all. | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
At least they are all being recognised, that is the main thing. | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
With all the controversy over the Iraq war I did not even think | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
we would get a memorial, but it shows what | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
But delight at public recognition was tempered by regret that | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
invitations were not extended to all of the families. | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
A very fitting service and a very fitting memorial, | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
Bereaved parents, family members, were not originally invited to this. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Those who were invited saw asculpture that offered a glimpse | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
Those who were invited saw a sculpture that offered a glimpse | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
One day Sergeant Mark Lamb and his wife Michelle will pass | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
on their Iraq experiences to their son Alfie, not on his best | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
He and generations to come will have a permanent reminder | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
of a chapter in our history that remains unfinished business. | :17:07. | :17:23. | |
The US is expanding its presence in Syria. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
400 extra marines will offer support to local militia trying to drive | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
the Islamic State group out of Raqqa. | :17:30. | :17:46. | |
Last month we brought you the story of this baby chimp, Nemley Junior. | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
He was freed from wildlife traffickers in Ivory Coast | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
Two of the traffickers are now being prosecuted | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
in what is the first case of its kind, and the body | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
responsible for trying to stop the illegal trade in endangered | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
species has now tightened up its procedures. | :18:01. | :18:01. | |
David Shukman has been back to Ivory Coast to find out | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
A heart-warming story of recovery - a baby chimpanzee, Nemley Junior, | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
An astonishing turnaround, given the trauma he's been through. | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
Poachers killed his mother and the rest of his family and then | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
They have to recover from physical wounds and the trauma of falling out | :18:26. | :18:53. | |
of the tree when the mother was shot and their mother was chopped off and | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
pulled away and someone's arms that they do not know, a human being they | :19:01. | :19:01. | |
have never seen their lives. He's learning to explore, | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
he was freed as a result But he never likes to get too | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
far from his keepers, Chimpanzees live in close | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
families in the wild. Nemley Junior has now | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
lost his and needs a new one. This is a key moment | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
for Nemley Junior, meeting another He's never going to make | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
it back into the wild, so the best hope is to create bonds | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
with a new family. Just a few months ago, he looked | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
so much thinner while in the hands We briefed the police | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
and they moved in. A young dealer called Ibrahima | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
Traore and his uncle Mohamed. They're now awaiting trial, | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
the first prosecution for wildlife trafficking that Ivory Coast | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
has ever seen. For us it is important to do | :20:03. | :20:18. | |
something about it. Those who deal in these illicit operations, those | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
operations are forbidden and we see them as a crime. Those are people | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
who have to be punished. And with big money involved, | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
they're linked to another network The Sidibe family also | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
sold baby chimpanzees, but two of them have now been | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
arrested, so this could Once you get one, your arrest them, | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
you prosecute them, you incarcerate them, | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
that message starts to get out that wildlife crime is no longer | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
high profit, low risk, there is a risk here, | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
in fact, I might go to jail. The dealers circulate videos | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
of the chimps for sale. Wildlife investigators say | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
the arrests will slow the trade It is just one big step, | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
but it is a never ending battle, So you've made progress, | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
but it's not the end? Not the end, it's like a drug, | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
it's a never ending battle. A mobile phone keeps him amused | :21:11. | :21:22. | |
and here's the view from it. After our first report | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
of his rescue, many of you were keen Well, it's reassuring | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
to see him thriving, and also to think that with four | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
traffickers arrested, other chimps in the jungles | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
may be a little safer. David Shukmman, BBC | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
News, in Ivory Coast. Now for our latest story from BBC's | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
So I Can Breathe series. Nigeria is one country that is | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
struggling with this problem. For years it imported | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
so-called dirty fuels But now it's banned in an effort | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
to reduce air pollution. Martin Patience has | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
a report on this. You can see it, you can smell it, | :21:55. | :22:07. | |
and you can even tasted. Lagos is wheezing on dirty fuels. Spare a | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
thought for the hawkers who sell snacks in the traffic. Sometimes we | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
feel kind of sick and we don't know what caused it. | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
One of the biggest causes of air pollution here is not just the sheer | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
volume of cars, it is the fuel that people put in their tanks. The few | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
that people buy here can have 300 Times as much sulphur as what is | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
legally allowed in Europe, but Nigeria is cleaning up its act. By | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
this summer dirty fuels will be banned. Are we breathing it in our? | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
You can feel it, particularly in Lagos. Campaigners say the ban is a | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
big breakthrough. It sends a strong signal to the importance of this | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
dirty fuel that government mean business. The important thing is | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
