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

:00:07.:00:10.

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

:00:11.:00:13.

Renewed peace talks for Syria in Geneva.

:00:14.:00:17.

It comes as parliamentary elections are held in regime-controlled

:00:18.:00:20.

Opponents of President Assad are saying they're invalid.

:00:21.:00:29.

It's almost two years since over 200 girls were taken

:00:30.:00:31.

Martin Patience has been to the scene of their abduction

:00:32.:00:37.

A judge in China has ruled a gay couple cannot register as married,

:00:38.:00:49.

I have just had a look, it seems very likely that Barcelona are going

:00:50.:01:03.

out of the Champions League. Two years ago this week,

:01:04.:01:16.

276 girls were taken from their school in Nigeria

:01:17.:01:20.

by Boko Haram militants. Chibok is a town in

:01:21.:01:30.

the north-eastern state of Borno. The BBC spoke to some

:01:31.:01:34.

of the girls' family members. TRANSLATION: This is the dress she

:01:35.:01:50.

was supposed to wear at her friend peers wedding, but it never

:01:51.:01:57.

happened. I am going to keep the dress until she comes back. My

:01:58.:02:01.

daughter was such a hard-working girl. She loves to crack jokes and

:02:02.:02:07.

loved clothes. Just before she was taken, she begged me to buy her a

:02:08.:02:12.

sewing machine. TRANSLATION: Before going to school that day, she was

:02:13.:02:19.

working on my food stall. She made $50. She was great with the

:02:20.:02:23.

customers. She was a brilliant businesswoman. These were the last

:02:24.:02:30.

moments I had with her. I pray that my daughter will come back alive

:02:31.:02:35.

but, if not, I hope that her soul rest in peace. I hope the horrors

:02:36.:02:40.

she has with list during this kidnap are the last time that she suffers.

:02:41.:02:45.

-- that she has witnessed chewing this kidnap.

:02:46.:02:47.

Not hard to imagine their grief - and the lack of clear

:02:48.:02:50.

We know the girls were taken from Chibok.

:02:51.:02:53.

The first supposed sighting came from villagers living

:02:54.:02:57.

They said they saw the children being marched into neighbouring

:02:58.:03:02.

Then in April last year a woman in the Nigerian village of Gwoza

:03:03.:03:11.

told the BBC she'd seen 50 of the girls with the militants.

:03:12.:03:21.

Again, this village is very close to the border. Again, we were unable to

:03:22.:03:30.

confirm. The only thing we can be certain of is that it all started in

:03:31.:03:35.

one school in Chibok. Martin Patience has been there.

:03:36.:03:43.

It is here, late one night, that is begun. The skeletons of desks where

:03:44.:03:51.

the girl sat, an overgrown basketball court where they once

:03:52.:03:57.

played. In silence. This was the dining hall, it would have been full

:03:58.:04:02.

of girls laughing and having fun, talking about the exam the next

:04:03.:04:08.

Dave, which they never took. Their parents wanted them to have a better

:04:09.:04:12.

life than they had, that is why they sent them to this school. But it was

:04:13.:04:17.

a choice with devastating consequences.

:04:18.:04:18.

The anniversary coincides with an event in Washington hosted

:04:19.:04:20.

by the World Bank where global leaders are pushing for improvements

:04:21.:04:23.

Michelle Obama says it's time for things to change.

:04:24.:04:31.

Why do we still too often valued girls simply for their bodies

:04:32.:04:37.

instead of their minds? APPLAUSE

:04:38.:04:48.

Why, in many places, is it still a better investment for families to

:04:49.:04:53.

marry off 13 age daughters rather than sending them to school? That

:04:54.:04:59.

macro marry off their teenage daughters. And why would grown man

:05:00.:05:04.

stormed a school bus and shoot a 15 year macro girl in the head. It

:05:05.:05:11.

about girls' education. Let's speak to one of the people involved in

:05:12.:05:12.

this event. Amit Sar is director

:05:13.:05:14.

of education at the World Bank. He joins us live. The idea of

:05:15.:05:24.

providing further education to women and girls is not new, so what are

:05:25.:05:27.

the new ideas to make sure this happens? Today was a very important

:05:28.:05:33.

day in that the World Bank committed that over the next five years we

:05:34.:05:38.

will be investing another $2.5 billion in ensuring that girls get

:05:39.:05:47.

access to secondary education, that was the big announcement that came

:05:48.:05:51.

out today in conjunction with Mrs Obama. Can you tell us what you have

:05:52.:05:57.

decided that adolescent girls should be your focus? At the World Bank, we

:05:58.:06:02.

believe that as less and girls are really the key -- that adolescent

:06:03.:06:09.

girls are the key to ending poverty and boosting prosperity. An

:06:10.:06:18.

additional one year of completion of secondary education leads to

:06:19.:06:21.

increase per capita income of 0.3%, a phenomenal amount. Investing in

:06:22.:06:30.

adolescent girls delays marriage, it leads to having fewer children, it

:06:31.:06:37.

implies that the next generation of kids also go through and get a full

:06:38.:06:44.

cycle of education. The benefits are tremendous in terms of economic and

:06:45.:06:49.

social benefits. This is not the first time you have invested in

:06:50.:06:53.

adolescent girls, can you give an example of where the investment has

:06:54.:06:58.

been particularly successful? I can give the example of Bangladesh. In

:06:59.:07:04.

1995, for every ten boys that went to school in Bangladesh, only eight

:07:05.:07:07.

girls were going to secondary school. The Government of

:07:08.:07:12.

Bangladesh, assisted by the world bank and other development parties

:07:13.:07:17.

decided to put into place a female secondary study programme where

:07:18.:07:22.

girls were getting still p to encourage them to go to school. 20

:07:23.:07:26.

years later we are looking at the case that for every ten boys, you

:07:27.:07:30.

love and girls are going to school. The amazing thing is it does not

:07:31.:07:35.

cost much. For every girl we invested in, the cost was less than

:07:36.:07:41.

$10 a year. For that, the huge societal transformation and the

:07:42.:07:46.

enormous labour market opportunities that have opened up, the payoff is

:07:47.:07:53.

huge. That sounds impressive, but can I ask you about the attitudes of

:07:54.:07:57.

some of the World Bank's members? You have members with laws that seem

:07:58.:08:04.

to run contrary to supporting gender equality, Jordan will not allow

:08:05.:08:09.

women to apply for a passport, Armenia offers no protection against

:08:10.:08:12.

domestic violence. You convinced your member states believe in what

:08:13.:08:18.

you are doing? We are completely convinced that investing in

:08:19.:08:22.

adolescent girls is the way to go. We have projects in many countries

:08:23.:08:27.

around the world supporting girls' education, we are redoubling efforts

:08:28.:08:31.

towards investing in girls' education, we are fully committed to

:08:32.:08:35.

moving in that direction and will continue to do so. Thank you for

:08:36.:08:41.

your time, Amit Sar, director of education at the World Bank earlier

:08:42.:08:45.

today, with Michelle Obama and many others at a World Bank event in

:08:46.:08:49.

Washington, DC. Thank you to him for bringing us his views.

:08:50.:08:55.

Now sport, there are a couple of huge story unfolding. We are in the

:08:56.:09:02.

quarterfinals of the Champions League. Last night Man City and Real

:09:03.:09:06.

Madrid went through to the semis, let's speak to Tim Hague live at the

:09:07.:09:12.

BBC sports centre, it looks like the screen has frozen but I can see you.

:09:13.:09:16.

About 30 seconds ago, Barcelona looked like they were going out, is

:09:17.:09:22.

that the case? If you thought last night was dramatic, tonight passes

:09:23.:09:25.

that. Barcelona, the favourites, are out. They have lost 2-0 at Atletico

:09:26.:09:33.

Madrid, having led the first leg 2-1. Barcelona went into the second

:09:34.:09:40.

leg with a two one league from the Nou Camp, but the French player

:09:41.:09:45.

Antoine Griezmann scored a great header. As Barcelona chase the game

:09:46.:09:52.

later on, their captain, and resin yesterday, was handled in the box.

:09:53.:09:56.

He was not sent off and three minutes from the end Antoine

:09:57.:10:00.

Griezmann scored the penalty, his second, making it 2-0. Barcelona had

:10:01.:10:06.

82% possession in the second half but they are out. Bayern Munich have

:10:07.:10:11.

been that the other quarterfinal, they led 1-0 from the first leg, but

:10:12.:10:17.

Rodriguez headed Benfica back into the tie before our to rove et al and

:10:18.:10:21.

Thomas Miller all but put by and into the semifinals. -- all but put

:10:22.:10:30.

Bayern into the semifinals. We have Manchester City, Real Madrid,

:10:31.:10:35.

Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich in the semifinals. Quite a foursome.

:10:36.:10:40.

And just to tell you there was an FA Cup quarterfinal tonight, Manchester

:10:41.:10:45.

United travelled to West Ham, not many fancy them to beat the inform

:10:46.:10:49.

Hammers but they did, too one at Upton Park. I appreciate that, good

:10:50.:10:58.

to speak to you. Let's state of football, a club involving Leeds

:10:59.:10:59.

United. They are in the second tier of

:11:00.:11:04.

English football, but a huge club - in the news today because a former

:11:05.:11:07.

employee has her case for unfair Massimo Cellino is

:11:08.:11:10.

the Leeds chairman - Lucy Ward told the hearing

:11:11.:11:13.

that he had said to colleagues, "Football is no place for women,

:11:14.:11:17.

they're better off in Mr Cellino did not give evidence

:11:18.:11:19.

during the tribunal. It is quite a day for football, and

:11:20.:11:36.

the basket will as well. It is the last game of Kobe Bryant's career, I

:11:37.:11:42.

lay late as against Utah Jazz. James Cook joins us from LA, it is hard to

:11:43.:11:48.

overstate the importance of this man in the American sporting world? He

:11:49.:11:53.

is a legend, to use a word that is often miss used, many people regard

:11:54.:11:58.

him as the legend of the basketball court, one of the most successful

:11:59.:12:02.

basketball players of all time, the only player ever to have played 20

:12:03.:12:06.

seasons for the same club, the LA Lakers. He is running out tonight in

:12:07.:12:15.

his 1566th game, here's the third highest scorer in the league

:12:16.:12:24.

history. A hugely successful figure, but not without controversy. Tell us

:12:25.:12:31.

more? Well, for a start, he had a rivalry with another big figure in

:12:32.:12:37.

the team, which was a problem for them for many years indeed. He had

:12:38.:12:44.

his clashes with O'Neill, his big rival in the team, who was

:12:45.:12:49.

eventually traded out, so I suppose he won that in the end, but we are

:12:50.:12:53.

told that he will be at the game tonight to watch. Perhaps more

:12:54.:12:58.

significantly and seriously, Kobe Bryant was charged in 2003 with rape

:12:59.:13:03.

in a case involving a 19-year-old woman. Bryant was married, he has

:13:04.:13:10.

children, he admitted infidelity but denied rape and the case was settled

:13:11.:13:14.

outside of court. Even among LA Lakers fans in Los Angeles, there is

:13:15.:13:20.

a real divide about whether you are for or against Kobe Bryant, but it

:13:21.:13:25.

will be a glittering occasion on the less, some tickets are changing

:13:26.:13:30.

hands for up to $30,000 to be at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles for

:13:31.:13:35.

his final performance. Thank you, James. We will bring you coverage of

:13:36.:13:44.

that when the game happens. I am sure this man will not take offence

:13:45.:13:48.

if I say most of us had not heard by him.

:13:49.:13:48.

Australian rugby league player Ryan McGoldrick is looking

:13:49.:13:50.

So he's trying to sell himself on eBay.

:13:51.:13:55.

Describing himself as a "1981 antique," his auction sparked 22

:13:56.:13:57.

It's been pulled down by eBay, though.

:13:58.:14:04.

They said it went against their terms of selling

:14:05.:14:06.

He has had a long career, he is 35, but I think he is all in one piece!

:14:07.:14:23.

But I think he will have to find a different way of getting a new

:14:24.:14:27.

contract. This video has been doing well, it

:14:28.:14:32.

is all about horse boarding, something I knew nothing about until

:14:33.:14:37.

a hours ago. Mike Bushell can tell us about it.

:14:38.:14:44.

Riding along on his board, but Stuart Michael is not on snow or

:14:45.:14:48.

water, he is behind a horse, of course! The thunder and hooves and

:14:49.:14:58.

the spin of wheels, they are off at a gallop. The world-record speed in

:14:59.:15:04.

horse boarding is 40 mph, but it is the sliding and slaloming while

:15:05.:15:09.

hanging on that test your skills. Sometimes it is really bumpy, you

:15:10.:15:12.

think your legs will fall off, you are waiting for the run to end. In

:15:13.:15:16.

the eight years since the sport has been going in the UK, it has grown

:15:17.:15:21.

to the extent that there are 36 teams competing in a national

:15:22.:15:25.

championship, which runs like Formula 1, earning points at

:15:26.:15:29.

different races around the country. There will be a team competition for

:15:30.:15:33.

the juniors for the first year this year. I love the adrenaline, how fun

:15:34.:15:38.

it is, it is a pricing because you do not know what the horse will do

:15:39.:15:43.

next. A year ago I never thought I would be doing it, but it is

:15:44.:15:47.

addictive and I love it. This is the team to catch, the reigning

:15:48.:15:56.

champions, The Dead Pigeons. 28 miles an hour in the big

:15:57.:15:59.

competitions in the arenas, not only that but you can see the angles that

:16:00.:16:03.

Ollie is getting too as they come one more time. Before you get on the

:16:04.:16:09.

board, you had to be properly protect it, there are risks

:16:10.:16:14.

involved, so I am padded like an armadillo. This is why. The sport is

:16:15.:16:22.

known for its wipe-outs. If you are in trouble, your rope will detach,

:16:23.:16:26.

but it is worth stressing, don't try this at home. Go to a training

:16:27.:16:33.

session, where they have new riders waiting for new borders, and vice

:16:34.:16:34.

versa. Once you are padded, it is time to

:16:35.:16:41.

take your first few roles. We have some speed already building. Tom is

:16:42.:16:46.

not a horse, but it is important to learn like this first. Teamwork is

:16:47.:16:51.

key, and communicating with my rider Charlie. Talk to me a lot so that I

:16:52.:16:58.

can help you, and just hang on. We are under way, we are trotting. A

:16:59.:17:02.

bit wobbly, you had to bend your knees. It shows how much force and

:17:03.:17:07.

power there is. You do not just learn boarding skills, it could be a

:17:08.:17:11.

way for beginners to learn more about horses. As a non-rider, you

:17:12.:17:17.

had to learn all about horses. As non-riders, all the borders have had

:17:18.:17:20.

riding lessons since starting this sport. If you feel out of control,

:17:21.:17:27.

you simply let go and have a bit of a rest.

:17:28.:17:31.

You can get that through the BBC sport app if you want to share that

:17:32.:17:33.

with others. We've been looking at a case

:17:34.:17:35.

from China involving a gay couple who have been refused

:17:36.:17:37.

a license to marry. We will get into the details of why

:17:38.:17:45.

they were turned down and why they are not as disappointed as you might

:17:46.:17:47.

think. In a world first, a paralysed man

:17:48.:17:49.

has been able to perform complex movements with his hand -

:17:50.:17:52.

such as play a video game or swipe a credit card -

:17:53.:17:55.

purely by thinking about it. The man's thoughts are interpreted

:17:56.:17:59.

by a computer which sends impulses Our medical correspondent

:18:00.:18:02.

Fergus Walsh has more. Ian Burkhart is playing

:18:03.:18:11.

a guitar video game. Using the power of thought,

:18:12.:18:15.

his paralysed fingers can move as a result of commands

:18:16.:18:17.

from his brain fed into a computer, which then stimulates his muscles

:18:18.:18:24.

via these sensors on his arm. Ian was paralysed below the elbows

:18:25.:18:29.

in a diving accident six years ago, but is slowly relearning

:18:30.:18:34.

to use his fingers. Now it's just something

:18:35.:18:38.

that's so fluid, kind of like it was before

:18:39.:18:40.

I had my injury, where I just think about what I want to do

:18:41.:18:43.

and then I can do it. The key to this technology is a tiny

:18:44.:18:48.

computer chip which surgeons implanted on the area of the brain,

:18:49.:18:51.

the motor cortex which When he thinks about moving

:18:52.:18:55.

his fingers and hand, those messages can't travel

:18:56.:19:03.

down his injured spinal cord, The computer interprets the signals

:19:04.:19:06.

and then send impulses Ian's movements are still slow

:19:07.:19:11.

and deliberate, but his dexterity He can demonstrate practical tasks,

:19:12.:19:18.

like swiping a bank card. Engineers hope he will eventually be

:19:19.:19:27.

able to use a keyboard. Several more patients are lined up

:19:28.:19:36.

to receive the device in Ohio. This really provides hope,

:19:37.:19:39.

we believe, for many patients in future, as this technology

the technology will eventually be wireless and allow patients

greater independence. This is Outside Source,

live from the BBC newsroom. Syrian peace talks are restarted

:20:30.:20:31.

as the country goes to the polls in parliamentary elections many

:20:32.:20:36.

are calling invalid. Voters are only allowed to vote in

:20:37.:20:50.

the parts of Syria controlled by the government.

:20:51.:20:52.

And much more to come on the Syria conflict in World News America.

:20:53.:20:56.

You can see that if you are outside of the UK.

:20:57.:21:00.

And for viewers in the UK, The News at Ten reports

:21:01.:21:03.

Migration into Europe is on the increase as

:21:04.:21:06.

We want to talk about drought - a number of countries

:21:07.:21:19.

are being badly affected in different parts of the world.

:21:20.:21:22.

In Africa, Ethiopia and Malawi they're all experiencing some

:21:23.:21:24.

We think around 10 million people are being affected.

:21:25.:21:36.

In Malawi the President has declared a national disaster - lack of food

:21:37.:21:39.

Flooding because when it does rain, the land is so hard it

:21:40.:21:43.

You could mention South Africa, they have experienced the worst roads in

:21:44.:21:55.

100 years. Next in India, drought's having

:21:56.:21:56.

a huge impact on the These are pictures from

:21:57.:21:58.

the state of Maharashtra. Here's Thomas Schafernaker

:21:59.:22:02.

from BBC Weather. We are trying to understand whether

:22:03.:22:14.

all of these different droughts are related. Often the culprit is El

:22:15.:22:20.

Nino. Of course, and the union disrupts a lot of climatic patterns

:22:21.:22:25.

around the world, one of them is the rainy season across parts of South

:22:26.:22:30.

Africa -- El Nino disrupts. It is not just South Africa, it is

:22:31.:22:36.

Botswana, Mozambique. We are seeing extremely low levels of rain all,

:22:37.:22:41.

something like the worst drought in around 30 years in that area. The

:22:42.:22:45.

crops should be around one metre high by now in some places,

:22:46.:22:49.

information from farmers is coming in that there is nothing but dust,

:22:50.:22:53.

they can't even rake the ground because it is so high. Again, El

:22:54.:22:57.

Nino seems to be the culprit of what is happening around the globe.

:22:58.:22:59.

China's first same-sex marriage court case was thrown out.

:23:00.:23:03.

The couple at the centre of this were cheered into the building

:23:04.:23:06.

A few hours later they were back outside with their lawyer

:23:07.:23:10.

TRANSLATION: They just used the term of man and woman, meaning only men

:23:11.:23:21.

and women can get married, not man and man or woman and woman, which is

:23:22.:23:25.

logically wrong, because the law does not say that. Our country has

:23:26.:23:29.

never had any written law turn to forbid the marriage to people of the

same sex, like the United States did. TRANSLATION: Today
