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

:00:08.:00:08.

The scientists studying the Zika virus in the US say it could take

:00:09.:00:14.

ten years before a vaccine is publicly available.

:00:15.:00:20.

The European Union has told Greece that it's seriously failed

:00:21.:00:23.

in its obligation to protect Europe's external border.

:00:24.:00:32.

Donald Trump's pulled out of the last Republican presidential

:00:33.:00:40.

We'll be live in Washington with Katty in a moment.

:00:41.:00:46.

And the latest from the Australian Open in OS Sport.

:00:47.:01:09.

One of the few certainties in news these days is that

:01:10.:01:12.

Today's reason is that he's boycotting the final Republican

:01:13.:01:18.

He says that Megyn Kelly, who's the chosen moderator

:01:19.:01:23.

for Fox News, won't treat him fairly.

:01:24.:01:32.

He clashed with her in a debate back in August -

:01:33.:01:35.

She asks me all sorts of ridiculous questions. You could see them as

:01:36.:01:56.

blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever. Megyn

:01:57.:02:00.

Kelly responded to this. And Fox News isn't budging -

:02:01.:02:08.

it says to remove her from the debate would "violate

:02:09.:02:10.

all journalistic standards". "We can't give in to

:02:11.:02:13.

terrorisations toward This is all building

:02:14.:02:17.

up the Iowa caucus - the first time

:02:18.:02:25.

a state will select One of the smaller states. It is

:02:26.:02:27.

hugely important. Donald Trump's main challenger

:02:28.:02:37.

in Iowa is Ted Cruz. Here's what he said about Mr Trump

:02:38.:02:39.

dropping out of the Fox debate. Mr Trump is scared. But I would ask

:02:40.:02:48.

that he would at least show respect. This race is a dead heat

:02:49.:02:59.

between Donald and me - we are effectively tied

:03:00.:03:02.

in the state of Iowa. If he is unwilling to stand

:03:03.:03:04.

on the debate stage with the other candidates, I would like to invite

:03:05.:03:07.

Donald right now to engage in a one-on-one debate with me

:03:08.:03:10.

any time between now Mr Trump has not taken him up on

:03:11.:03:14.

that yet. All of this falls into a broader

:03:15.:03:29.

pattern for Donald Trump - he believes he delivers big

:03:30.:03:32.

audiences for the TV networks. In December 2011,

:03:33.:03:34.

a Republican primary that was the most watched

:03:35.:03:37.

debate of the year. On exactly the same day four years

:03:38.:03:46.

later, the Republican presidential debate got an audience

:03:47.:03:50.

of 18 million. That featured Donald Trump and

:03:51.:03:55.

others. And that's not even the highest

:03:56.:04:00.

figure for this round of debates. We can debate the reasons why -

:04:01.:04:03.

but Donald Trump thinks it's him. Let's go now to the studios of world

:04:04.:04:21.

News America and Katty Kay. Let's assume Donald Trump does everything

:04:22.:04:25.

for a reason. Why would he calculate this is a good move? Congratulations

:04:26.:04:31.

on making it through half a programme without mentioning Donald

:04:32.:04:35.

Trump, but you lose points because you played that clip with him

:04:36.:04:39.

talking about Megyn Kelly and blood, which I was hoping I would never

:04:40.:04:47.

hear again. The way this plays out, probably Fox loses ratings, and

:04:48.:04:51.

Donald Trump probably knows that. In his statement he said, these debates

:04:52.:04:56.

make tens of millions of dollars for Fox News. Coming from Donald Trump,

:04:57.:05:01.

you would think he would think that was a good thing. He clearly feels

:05:02.:05:06.

Fox isn't as big as Donald companies. I can't see him taking

:05:07.:05:12.

Ted Cruz up on his offer to debate one-on-one. Why risk the possibility

:05:13.:05:18.

of losing voters by saying something he doesn't like during the course of

:05:19.:05:23.

the debate, or not winning it? I score this Trump 1, Fox News 0. But

:05:24.:05:33.

I could understand it if he was boycotting CNN, but why Fox? That is

:05:34.:05:38.

assuming that the Republican party is united, and it's not. It is a

:05:39.:05:45.

whole group of different tribes that have come together under the name

:05:46.:05:48.

the Republican party, but they hate each other almost as much as they

:05:49.:05:53.

hate Democrats. There is such a long rivalry between Donald Trump and Fox

:05:54.:05:58.

News, the tick silly over this infighting with Megyn Kelly and

:05:59.:06:03.

whether she is fair on him or not. -- particularly over. That is where

:06:04.:06:09.

this stems from. You would think it was on the same side, but nothing is

:06:10.:06:13.

as it should be in this election campaign, and that is a reflection

:06:14.:06:19.

of the civil war going on inside the Republican party. Another surprise

:06:20.:06:24.

is that Bernie Saunders is proving himself a strong contender for the

:06:25.:06:27.

Democratic nomination. He has been to the White House today. How did

:06:28.:06:32.

that come about? He went to the White House after President Clinton

:06:33.:06:37.

gave an interview with a political website in America, where he didn't

:06:38.:06:43.

endorse military -- Hillary Clinton, but he said she was wicked smart.

:06:44.:06:51.

Hillary Clinton has suggested that President Obama was on her side.

:06:52.:06:56.

Bernie Sanders has taken objection to that. He thinks the president

:06:57.:07:02.

should be neutral. For all of Bernie Sanders' supporters in Iowa, even

:07:03.:07:08.

the picture of him standing outside the White House having just spoken

:07:09.:07:12.

to the President looks presidential. He took time out of the campaign

:07:13.:07:16.

trail. He said that President Obama had been very fair and has been

:07:17.:07:21.

neutral in this race, and he respects the way the president has

:07:22.:07:26.

handled this. I think that is all that Bernie Sanders could have hoped

:07:27.:07:31.

for, and I think it will play well for him in Iowa. Thank you Katty

:07:32.:07:36.

Kay. We will be speaking to you in about 22 minutes when World News

Tennis - all the quarter finals done.

:07:47.:07:48.

I can't remember the last time that happened.

:07:49.:07:58.

We were born. 1977, John Lloyd and Sue Barker, also in Melbourne. We

:07:59.:08:12.

are used to Andy Murray getting to a semifinal, he should do because he

:08:13.:08:17.

is the world number two, Olympic champion as well. He is playing in

:08:18.:08:22.

his semifinal, but he's never had company at this stage by a fellow

:08:23.:08:28.

Brit. And Johanna Konta has taken everybody by surprise. We talked

:08:29.:08:35.

about her 24 hours ago. She won in straight sets. She is into her first

:08:36.:08:40.

Grand Slams semifinal, keeping Andy Murray company. She has the seventh

:08:41.:08:46.

seed in the next few hours, due on court in the next five or six hours

:08:47.:08:51.

in Melbourne. She's so happy to be there. She's very bubbly. She's got

:08:52.:08:56.

a great personality and she is loving every round of her time in

:08:57.:09:01.

Melbourne. She's gone an awful long way. Two Brits into the last four

:09:02.:09:08.

for the first time in 39 years. It has really taken some of the heat

:09:09.:09:13.

off Andy Murray. Expected to get through his Friday semifinal and

:09:14.:09:19.

into the final. Johanna Konta really is the story as far as the British

:09:20.:09:25.

perspective is concerned. We are paying close attention to those

:09:26.:09:29.

matches, but it is inevitable they will be overshadowed by the men's

:09:30.:09:36.

semi that is coming up. They have pretty much sewn up the Australian

:09:37.:09:40.

Open in the last 10-year. Only two other men have actually won it. Only

:09:41.:09:45.

Djokovic and Federer. We look forward to this last time. 45 times

:09:46.:09:50.

they will have met by the time they get to this semifinal. It stands at

:09:51.:09:57.

22 all, 27 Grand Slam titles between them. Ethical to know which way it

:09:58.:10:03.

is going to go. The public will be willing Federer to come good again,

:10:04.:10:09.

because he hasn't won a Grand Slam in 3.5 years now. Djokovic is

:10:10.:10:13.

looking for a sixth title in Melbourne and is clearly the

:10:14.:10:18.

favourite. Full coverage of the Australian Open on the BBC Sport

launched today. Bookmakers are making England

favourites for the title, Last year we started away in Rome

:10:47.:11:03.

against Italy, and it was fairly ferocious. The conditions were very

:11:04.:11:08.

tough, and therefore it was very, very competitive. I just don't think

:11:09.:11:15.

there's anything that looks like a soft entry to the Six Nations.

:11:16.:11:18.

This actually happened last year, but the pictures were put

It shows the American skier Angel Collinson falling about

:11:23.:11:25.

She was performing a stunt for a ski and snowboard movie.

:11:26.:11:32.

She gave an interview to ABC News about it.

:11:33.:11:35.

She said she tried to slow her descent using her arms,

:11:36.:11:38.

Amazingly, she suffered only minor injuries.

:11:39.:11:50.

In the end, after tumbling and tumbling, she came to a stop. I'm

:11:51.:12:00.

OK! I'm OK. That is what her colleagues wanted to hear. A

:12:01.:12:05.

dramatic video. You will not have to work very hard to find that online.

:12:06.:12:11.

It's watched -- it's been watched millions of times already.

:12:12.:12:22.

We have a story in -- from Benghazi shortly. The full report in a few

:12:23.:12:32.

minutes. The grandparents of a severely

:12:33.:12:34.

disabled teenager and a victim of domestic violence have both won

:12:35.:12:37.

legal challenges to the government's spare room subsidy -

:12:38.:12:39.

the so-called "bedroom tax". Ministers say they'll

:12:40.:12:41.

challenge the verdict. The Court of appeals ruled that they

:12:42.:12:50.

were unfairly discriminated against. Our legal affairs correspondent,

the battle over This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. The scientists studying the Zika

:14:55.:15:11.

virus in the US say it could take ten years before a vaccine

:15:12.:15:18.

is publicly available. Gripping report now

:15:19.:15:26.

from Libya on the battle between the Islamic State group

:15:27.:15:28.

and and other Islamist militias on one side - and a coalition

:15:29.:15:33.

led by the Libyan army on the other. Feras Kilani from BBC Arabic is one

:15:34.:15:37.

of the few journalists to enter Benghazi to see

:15:38.:15:39.

that fight up close. It's east of the coast from Tripoli.

:15:40.:15:51.

He has seen the fighting close up. These fighters are working with the

:15:52.:16:10.

Army trying to stop the militias. We are some of the few journalists to

:16:11.:16:16.

access this area. It is impossible to reach this area without the

:16:17.:16:20.

protection of these fighters. This was the city that started the

:16:21.:16:25.

revolution five years ago. Look at it now. Entire neighbourhoods have

:16:26.:16:30.

been destroyed, and thousands have fled. The armed forces still control

:16:31.:16:41.

most of the city. But now they are losing ground to the Islamists. We

:16:42.:16:47.

have just pulled up here, on the side of the road, the only entrance

:16:48.:16:52.

to the city of Benghazi. If you come with me to this point, you can see

:16:53.:16:56.

how the front line has moved forward in the last few months. Inside these

:16:57.:17:03.

damaged buildings are snipers which put all of these residential areas

:17:04.:17:13.

under threat. A growing numbers of commanders blame this on the Army's

:17:14.:17:20.

diversion. TRANSLATION: What pushed us to this

:17:21.:17:25.

situation are the political disputes. There's a big disagreement

:17:26.:17:30.

between the front line commanders, the army leadership and the

:17:31.:17:35.

politicians. A few hundred metres away from the front line, a local

:17:36.:17:42.

school. It has been hit before. But children are desperate for an

:17:43.:17:49.

education. Here, the gunfire is constant. The pupils know Longoria.

:17:50.:17:57.

Their teacher tries to reassure me. Everything is fine. After missing

:17:58.:18:02.

almost two years of school, these children's futures are bleak.

:18:03.:18:12.

Emerging from the chaos in Benghazi, the so-called Islamic State is now

:18:13.:18:23.

the biggest threat. It looks like that report ended

:18:24.:18:28.

before we expected it to. We apologise for that. You can find the

:18:29.:18:35.

report online. We were hearing from Benghazi in Libya there.

:18:36.:18:38.

There have been anti-migrant protests in Germany amongst

:18:39.:18:40.

the country's Russian speaking population,

:18:41.:18:41.

including outside the Chancellory in Berlin.

:18:42.:18:43.

It's all to do with the alleged gang-rape of a 13-year-old girl

:18:44.:18:45.

from a Russian-immigrant family, supposedly by asylum seekers.

:18:46.:18:47.

Damien McGuinness in Berlin has covered this online for the BBC -

:18:48.:18:50.

we turned to him to tell the story for us.

:18:51.:18:55.

Two weeks ago, a girl went missing, a 13-year-old girl, who has been

:18:56.:19:04.

identified only by her first name, Lisa, on her way to school. She

:19:05.:19:09.

reappeared a day later and she reported to police that she had been

:19:10.:19:14.

abducted and raped by a group of migrant men. Police questioned her

:19:15.:19:19.

and carried out an examination, and said that the facts didn't stack up.

:19:20.:19:24.

They said there had been evidence of sexual activity, but they said it

:19:25.:19:29.

was voluntary. They cannot speak of con sexual sex because she is under

:19:30.:19:35.

age. Police now speak of child abuse. Russian speakers in Germany

:19:36.:19:39.

don't believe what the police are saying. They accuse authorities here

:19:40.:19:43.

of a cover-up, and say the police are trying to protect the migrants,

:19:44.:19:48.

but there is no evidence that migrants actually carried out this

:19:49.:19:52.

child abuse. The police are saying it is a case of child abuse, and

:19:53.:19:56.

that is what they are investigating for, but Russian speakers are not

:19:57.:20:00.

believing them. It isn't the protesters accusing the German

:20:01.:20:05.

government of a cover-up. The Russian government is getting

:20:06.:20:11.

involved as well? That's right. We heard a press conference in Moscow,

:20:12.:20:16.

and there was an accusation that the German authorities are covering up

:20:17.:20:21.

the attack. He said, we should hope that other events like what happened

:20:22.:20:27.

to our Lisa, as he put it, should not happen again. He calls on the

:20:28.:20:31.

authorities to sort out what happened. German politicians have

:20:32.:20:36.

reacted with some vigour against these accusations. This story shows

:20:37.:20:42.

how many Russian speakers here in Germany believe more but the Kremlin

:20:43.:20:46.

tells them, and what is on Russian television, rather than what the

:20:47.:20:51.

German media and authorities say. I was going to ask you about the

:20:52.:20:55.

Russian media. You have mentioned the role that it plays in this

:20:56.:21:02.

story. Is it a huge factor? Yes. It was a Russian TV report that sparked

:21:03.:21:06.

off these protests in the first place. A day or two after Lisa

:21:07.:21:13.

reappeared, a Russian journalist interviewed a woman who identified

:21:14.:21:17.

herself as Lisa's aunt, who gave some quite graphic details about

:21:18.:21:21.

what the supposedly migrants had done to the girl. There was some

:21:22.:21:28.

footage in this report, including a video which was supposed to show

:21:29.:21:33.

that migrants like to attack women in Germany. Right now, because of

:21:34.:21:38.

the influx of migrants, it has come out that this footage was six years

:21:39.:21:44.

old. There's a lot of disputed facts about this TV report. The report was

:21:45.:21:49.

spread throughout the Russian speakers here in Germany and in

:21:50.:21:53.

Russia itself. More than 1 million people watched it on Facebook, and

:21:54.:21:59.

this sparked off the protests, which were supported by right-wing

:22:00.:22:03.

extremists and anti-migrant protest is in Germany. There is a long

:22:04.:22:08.

article on that story on the BBC website. I spend a lot of time on

:22:09.:22:18.

the water at home, but I would not be going out in a boat with these

:22:19.:22:21.

two guys. Now it could just be a run

:22:22.:22:26.

of really bad luck - but two yachtsmen have had to call

rescue teams for a ninth time The two Americans who are

:22:30.:22:32.

in their seventies set off from Norway last July and are hoping

:22:33.:22:35.

to eventually make it North America. Still smiling, Bob and Steve,

:22:36.:22:38.

two old friends in search of adventure, and what

:22:39.:22:42.

an adventure they have had. They and their boat Nora have been

:22:43.:22:44.

rescued nine times in six months, We have had to call for help,

:22:45.:22:47.

but they have been very helpful to us and they guided us

:22:48.:22:56.

in and they helped us out. The people everywhere are great,

:22:57.:22:58.

I have had so much fun. Well, since setting off last July

:22:59.:23:05.

they have been rescued twice in the North Sea by both

at risk for that reason. At that point another calamity,

most accomplished sailors. It is not fair to all these rescue
