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 | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
involves and matures, to help people who have disabilities | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
from spinal-cord injury or traumatic brain injury or stroke, | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
to allow them to be more functional Four years ago, a paralysed woman | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
controlled a robotic arm This latest research in the journal | :19:51. | :20:00. | |
Nature is restricted But the team in Ohio hope | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
the technology will eventually be wireless and allow patients | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
greater independence. This is Outside Source, | :20:15. | :20:29. | |
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 | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
same sex, like the United States did. TRANSLATION: Today | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
beginning, and definitely not the end. The achievement of every right | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
relies on the efforts of everyone, it is not achieved overnight. I | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
believe as long as we try together, we will finally realise the right of | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
equality. Quite a positive message from people who have just lost a | :23:59. | :23:59. | |
court case. Earlier I spoke to our East Asia | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
editor Celia Hatton This couple decided they wanted | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
their marriage legally registered in China. Gay marriage is illegal in | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
China, but the court he is unacceptable case, which is | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
interesting. The couple themselves that they were really surprised when | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
the court said a judge would allow them to present their argument. | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
Their argument is really strategically interesting. The | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
couple and their lawyer argued that marriage in China is specified that | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
it has to be between a husband and wife, but there is no gender | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
specified, it is not specified that it has to be between a man and a | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
woman. They were trying to go to court to argue that anybody could be | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
a husband or a wife, maybe it could be a same-sex couple. That is it for | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
