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

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.

trust and Wansbeck government wants to regain the trust of the people it

:23:18.:23:21.

needs to chaperone this kind of regulation put in the interest of

:23:22.:23:26.

people as a priority. Even with this ban experts say much more needs to

:23:27.:23:32.

be done to prevent a health crisis. We are looking at an epidemic of

:23:33.:23:37.

respiratory problems and an epidemic of cardiovascular problems and an

:23:38.:23:41.

epidemic of chronic lung diseases like empty senior and all of that,

:23:42.:23:46.

which we may not be able to handle with the present system that we

:23:47.:23:52.

have. Dirty fuel is cheap but if the ban is successful it could go a long

:23:53.:23:56.

way in cleaning up Nigeria sir. That will save a lot more than money.

:23:57.:24:05.

If you have stories you want us to pick up on, let us know. Scott has

:24:06.:24:17.

tweeted this... Now you have asked us, this is copy from Reuters that

:24:18.:24:22.

is coming to the newsroom. Nigel Farage, the former leader...

:24:23.:24:34.

This is the New York Times... This is from a bus feed.

:24:35.:24:52.

Thank you very much for watching, we will speak to you next week from the

:24:53.:24:55.

Netherlands. Goodbye. Hello. We had some glorious spring

:24:56.:25:13.

sunshine around on Thursday. Temperatures as high as 17.5 degrees

:25:14.:25:17.

in London. Things are not changing in a hurry in the next 24 hours

:25:18.:25:20.

because we have a big
