:00:48. > :00:50.from the UN about the treatment of the minority muslim
:00:51. > :00:52.community in Myanmar. If you haven't seen downhill
:00:53. > :00:56.skateboarding before, you'll want to stick
:00:57. > :01:11.around for this! There's a poll out by
:01:12. > :01:23.Morning Consult and Politico The poll of more than 2,000
:01:24. > :01:28.registered voters found 55% support the ban,
:01:29. > :01:36.38% oppose it. The state of Montana is home to one
:01:37. > :01:39.of the biggest anti-immigration That's despite the fact the state
:01:40. > :01:43.has resettled less than 20 refugee The BBC's Aleem Maqbool
:01:44. > :01:52.went to find out why. I believe that what we've
:01:53. > :01:54.seen with our President This is a man who
:01:55. > :02:01.couldn't be happier. He is heavily involved in local
:02:02. > :02:08.politics, and he's a preacher. His Christian compassion, though,
:02:09. > :02:11.does not extend to those he feels If they come among us
:02:12. > :02:21.and then try to enact If groups of radical Islamic people

:02:47. > :02:48.against Donald Trump's immigration policies do not represent
:02:49. > :02:54.the real America. This is a local rally
:02:55. > :02:57.in support of the refugees. Not a bad turnout for a weekday
:02:58. > :03:02.lunchtime in the snow. But these are certainly not
:03:03. > :03:04.the loudest voices on this issue The state has one of the most
:03:05. > :03:10.high-profile anti-immigrant campaigns and, before the election,
:03:11. > :03:14.had one of the biggest anti-refugee The anger for many is directed
:03:15. > :03:24.mainly at Muslims, something local
:03:25. > :03:27.politicians are tapping into - After days of debate,
:03:28. > :03:33.the state Senate has just passed a bill to say Sharia law
:03:34. > :03:40.can't be applied in Montana. This woman and her family arrived
:03:41. > :03:45.here just a couple of months ago. They fled Eritrea with no choice

:03:55. > :03:57.talking on camera, and to this storm
:03:58. > :04:04.of anti-immigrant sentiment. What's striking in Montana

:04:09. > :04:12.the size of Germany with a population of just 1 million,
:04:13. > :04:17.where fewer than 20 refugee families have been resettled
:04:18. > :04:20.since the mid-90s. But as far as many here
:04:21. > :04:24.and across America are concerned, there is simply no room
:04:25. > :04:27.for the immigrants, to whom the door
:04:28. > :04:46.should be firmly shut. If you want on demand coverage of
:04:47. > :04:49.the Trump administration, you can get it from the BBC News app.
:04:50. > :04:52.We know the World Cup is going to expand to 48 teams
:04:53. > :04:55.in 2026 and now football governing bodies around the world have begun
:04:56. > :05:18.How is this shaping up? Uefa macro the first to throw their hat into
:05:19. > :05:21.ring. They want more of their own represented, the 116 teams to be
:05:22. > :05:29.European, three more than played the last World Cup in Brazil. Those
:05:30. > :05:33.teams are kept apart in the group phase to give European team is the
:05:34. > :05:39.best chance of going through to the last 32 and because the World Cup
:05:40. > :05:43.will have 16 groups each, the top two in each group will go through to
:05:44. > :05:47.the knockout phase, Europe want all of its teams to get the knockout
:05:48. > :05:53.phase. Uefa may feel this is a realistic request but it is an early
:05:54. > :06:00.test for the's claim to be more transparent in the light of its
:06:01. > :06:04.scandal stained past. Presumably, some of the other big footballing
:06:05. > :06:07.bodies around the world have their own shopping lists. We're still
:06:08. > :06:10.waiting to hear officially from other organisations but they will
:06:11. > :06:19.all want more of their own teams taking part. Uefa might not have it
:06:20. > :06:23.all way. The Fifa president in the past said the World Cup as to be
:06:24. > :06:28.more inclusive, adding that football is more than just Europe and South
:06:29. > :06:31.America, saying it is truly global now. He added that the only sure
:06:32. > :06:35.thing is that everyone will have more representation than they have
:06:36. > :06:36.had in the past and it is for a decision could be made on this by
:06:37. > :06:38.May. The 2018 Winter Olympics will take
:06:39. > :06:43.place in Pyeongchang, South Korea. To mark the occasion, organisers
:06:44. > :06:51.unveiled the Games' Olympic torch. It's the first time South Korea has
:06:52. > :06:54.hosted the winter games and, in doing so, it'll complete
:06:55. > :06:57.the grand slam of the winter and summer games, a football
:06:58. > :07:01.World Cup and a World Athletics Germany, Japan, Italy and France
:07:02. > :07:09.are the only others to do it. There was also this
:07:10. > :07:24.message to North Korea. We are opening participation borders
:07:25. > :07:28.to all other countries including North Korea. We welcome their
:07:29. > :07:32.participation. We would like to say that North Korea not only has a duty
:07:33. > :07:33.to participate in the winter Olympics but also has the authority
:07:34. > :07:36.to engage in the Olympics. Continuing our daily effort
:07:37. > :07:39.to cover sports that don't get too much coverage,
:07:40. > :07:43.this is speed downhill bike riding. This is him going down a mountain
:07:44. > :08:02.in Chile's Atacama Desert. He broke the record,
:08:03. > :08:06.hitting 167kmph. It took him 650 metres and 11
:08:07. > :08:12.seconds to hit the top speed. The parameters of the record meant
:08:13. > :08:15.it had to be a gravel-based mountain and it had to be
:08:16. > :08:24.on an unmodified mountain bike. It is quite specific but he made it
:08:25. > :08:30.to the bottom and he looks relieved. I think his colleagues were worried,
:08:31. > :08:31.he pulls off the helmet and in the end, he is smiling. Congratulations
:08:32. > :08:33.to him. Continuing the downhill theme,
:08:34. > :08:35.this is downhill skateboarding. These guys have battled for many
:08:36. > :08:57.years! He is getting pretty excited. We've been in touch with the
:08:58. > :09:03.International Downhill Federation. The first event of the World Tour
:09:04. > :09:07.is next week in Australia ad we'll have highlights plus an interview
:09:08. > :09:16.with one of the racers. If you're watching an thing, I have
:09:17. > :09:22.got sport that needs to be covered, let us know, get in touch by
:09:23. > :09:23.Twitter, e-mail, social media, and we will pick up any of the
:09:24. > :09:25.suggestion to make. The Kenyan High Court has told
:09:26. > :09:28.Kenya's government that it can't shut the largest refugee camp
:09:29. > :09:32.in the world. Dadaab is close to the border
:09:33. > :09:35.with Somalia and it's so big you can About 260,000 Somali
:09:36. > :09:48.refugees call it home. These pictures show
:09:49. > :09:53.how they are living. This camp was set up
:09:54. > :09:55.in 1991 for people fleeing The Kenyan government had wanted
:09:56. > :10:05.to forcibly repatriate them. A government spokesperson
:10:06. > :10:17.told the Kenyan media... He did not want to discriminate
:10:18. > :10:21.against Somalis but the camp had to be closed for security reasons. We
:10:22. > :10:25.also have a release from the Kenyan government saying it will appeal
:10:26. > :10:35.this decision by the highest court in the land.
:10:36. > :10:44.essentially says that to do this would be unconstitutional because it
:10:45. > :10:49.would contravene the very principles of how Kenya is founded when it
:10:50. > :10:53.comes to human rights. This is a decision that says Kenny needs to
:10:54. > :10:57.put the rights of people first before they go into thinking about
:10:58. > :11:01.how this will affect the security, it needs to be done in a humane way,
:11:02. > :11:05.this seems to be the message the court is trying to get across and
:11:06. > :11:08.human rights groups across the country were happy to receive this
:11:09. > :11:17.ruling today. Is a big political issue? It certainly has been, and
:11:18. > :11:23.this was a very big issue for the government for they first raised in
:11:24. > :11:28.2016, and they said unequivocally that this decision would not change,
:11:29. > :11:32.they had to close the camp because of security concerns. The main
:11:33. > :11:40.concern is that al-Shabab, a militant group affiliated to
:11:41. > :11:46.Al-Qaeda, is hiding within the camp. So this is a very big security
:11:47. > :11:52.issue. In terms of practicality, if the government were unable to do
:11:53. > :11:58.this, where do they suggest 250,000 Somalis go? Back to Somalia is the
:11:59. > :12:03.suggestion that there are a number of issues already. Somalia is not
:12:04. > :12:09.quite ready to receive these refugees, health, education, all of
:12:10. > :12:14.those things need to be put in place before these refugees come back. The
:12:15. > :12:21.size of the camp is shocking. It is the third-largest city in Kenya
:12:22. > :12:24.after Mombasa and Nairobi so this is thousands of people we're talking
:12:25. > :12:29.about on the government has already failed to meet a deadline it has for
:12:30. > :12:33.themselves, extending that because the sheer scale of the project. It
:12:34. > :12:34.does seem that even though they want to do it quickly it might not be
:12:35. > :12:38.practical do so. When we come back, we'll be looking
:12:39. > :12:44.at a new study that says the way orangutans communicate is linked
:12:45. > :12:55.to the origins of human language. Private tenants in England
:12:56. > :12:57.are being unfairly evicted and a new law to protect them isn't
:12:58. > :13:01.working, according to MPs. The law was introduced to stop
:13:02. > :13:03.people being thrown out of their homes because they'd
:13:04. > :13:05.complained about the state Damp, mould, faulty electrics,
:13:06. > :13:15.and broken windows and boilers that They're all classed
:13:16. > :13:22.as category one hazards. In other words, they're so bad
:13:23. > :13:27.they pose a risk to people's health. And they're things Amjid Chowdri
:13:28. > :13:29.from Leeds City Council's Rogue Landlords Unit
:13:30. > :13:38.is all too familiar with. This is rented out, private rented
:13:39. > :13:40.accommodation, people living here? People paying to rent here, making
:13:41. > :13:43.complaints, nothing happening, and then they could be under threat
:13:44. > :13:46.of a revenge eviction That's the reason why they're not
:13:47. > :14:12.coming forward to the council When I first came here, I did not
:14:13. > :14:17.want to move in. I do not want to keep complaining because they might
:14:18. > :14:27.kick me out. What would happen to you if you did get evicted? I would
:14:28. > :14:39.be on the street. Because I have been on the street and it ain't
:14:40. > :14:51.nice. I have been on the street and it is horrible. That is why you do
:14:52. > :14:55.not want to complain too much. Government figures suggest 1 million
:14:56. > :15:04.private rented properties do not meet its own decent homes standard.
:15:05. > :15:06.What is that? MPs who helped hold the government to account say rogue
:15:07. > :15:13.landlords are avoiding their responsibilities. I cannot believe
:15:14. > :15:18.that there aren't that number of authorities when no one has been
:15:19. > :15:22.subjected to avenge a fiction. The government says revenge evictions
:15:23. > :15:23.are rare and pans to a new door councils have all the power they
:15:24. > :15:33.need to stop them. This is Outside Source live

:16:34. > :16:38.government offensive began. It was front page news around
:16:39. > :16:41.the world and, for a while, This was UK tabloid
:16:42. > :16:46.The Daily Mirror. Press TV, which is funded by Iran,
:16:47. > :16:52.quoted the Iraqi Prime Minister, saying, "The Time For Victory Has
:16:53. > :16:56.Come." The Iraqi army controls
:16:57. > :17:16.the eastern half of Mosul. The West remains in control of
:17:17. > :17:20.Islamic State. We have seen comments posted online earlier by New York
:17:21. > :17:29.Times correspondence saying the city looks remarkable, driving past open
:17:30. > :17:38.Cabaye joints. Those reports of relatively normal lives. This though
:17:39. > :17:43.has also brought out comments from the top US military commander
:17:44. > :17:47.saying, we will see both most sought and Raqqa campaigns conclude, that
:17:48. > :17:49.is my attempt. We asked Hadya Alalawi
:17:50. > :17:51.from BBC Arabic to look The Iraqi army has actually been
:17:52. > :17:57.attacking the western side by some missiles,
:17:58. > :17:59.using the help of the I think the biggest problem
:18:00. > :18:06.at the moment is how they're going to connect from the eastern
:18:07. > :18:09.side to the western side because of the bridges that the US
:18:10. > :18:12.actually attacked at the beginning Now, IS, what it did is, actually,
:18:13. > :18:16.it's trying to destroy these bridges completely so they can't cross over
:18:17. > :18:19.from one side to the other, and I think that is one
:18:20. > :18:22.of the biggest problems, actually, the Iraqi army is facing
:18:23. > :18:26.at the moment as well as putting together all its forces
:18:27. > :18:28.and preparing it forward because there's going
:18:29. > :18:30.to be a huge offensive. And IS still has the necessary
:18:31. > :18:33.supply lines to the west And it can still get
:18:34. > :18:36.supplies to its fighters Yes, it can, and I think
:18:37. > :18:41.the problem right now as well is because the western side,
:18:42. > :18:44.because this is literally the last stronghold in Iraq, if they lose it,
:18:45. > :18:47.they are literally losing So what they are doing
:18:48. > :18:52.is they are trying to get as much support they can to the western
:18:53. > :18:55.side, and I assume also that they are going to be able
:18:56. > :18:59.to get more support from Raqqa. So this is why it was quite
:19:00. > :19:02.interesting to hear the US Is it becoming politically difficult
:19:03. > :19:08.for the Iraqi government? There was a stage when we were
:19:09. > :19:11.following this day by day but clearly Mosul's not
:19:12. > :19:14.about to fall any time soon. No, I think the suggestion
:19:15. > :19:17.that Mosul and Raqqa both are going to fall,
:19:18. > :19:20.I don't think that's very realistic. They are fighting with a very
:19:21. > :19:23.strong group of fighters, they have a lot of weapons,
:19:24. > :19:27.they are trained well, It took them three months just
:19:28. > :19:31.to take the eastern side of Mosul, six months to take the western side

:20:01. > :20:03.a report describing widespread The BBC's @JonahFisherBBC called
:20:04. > :20:18.that report a game changer. He said the Burmese government would
:20:19. > :20:22.not be able to dismiss this matter as the hinge propaganda.
:20:23. > :20:24.I asked the BBC Burmese's Soe Win Than whether the government

:20:27. > :20:31.When this report was released last week, then the human rights chief
:20:32. > :20:35.spoke to Aung San Suu Kyi directly for over an hour.
:20:36. > :20:39.In that conversation, Aung San Suu Kyi said
:20:40. > :20:41.that the government would investigate all the allegations
:20:42. > :20:46.Another development today is that the military itself has
:20:47. > :20:50.formed a committee headed by the military Inspector General
:20:51. > :20:53.to specifically look into those allegations.
:20:54. > :20:55.But would you trust the military to assess
:20:56. > :21:02.That's what the international human rights groups have...
:21:03. > :21:06.Already, the government has formed a commission to investigate
:21:07. > :21:09.what is going on in Rakhine State, which is headed by the Vice
:21:10. > :21:17.So even at the outset, when it was formed, the human rights
:21:18. > :21:20.activist said that this is not trustworthy because it is headed
:21:21. > :21:24.by a military general who would exonerate,
:21:25. > :21:32.if there are, the atrocities committed by the military.
:21:33. > :21:35.A new study says the way orangutans communicate is linked
:21:36. > :21:43.The sounds they make are called kiss squeaks.
:21:44. > :22:05.The research is from Durham University.
:22:06. > :22:12.Exactly what the messages are that are embedded in these kiss squeak
:22:13. > :22:15.calls that these researchers have studied is not entirely
:22:16. > :22:18.clear, but they can see that they are communicating
:22:19. > :22:21.So, essentially, this has been a ten-year listening
:22:22. > :22:27.These researchers started this ten years ago, recording and watching
:22:28. > :22:29.the orangutans and listening to them as they made these
:22:30. > :22:34.Now, what they see, crucially, is that they will combine these
:22:35. > :22:38.calls in different ways with other signals and with different sounds,
:22:39. > :22:42.with call-out vowel-like sounds, with shaking branches and gestures,
:22:43. > :22:45.and what they are suggesting, what they think this means,
:22:46. > :22:48.is that they are trying to reiterate the same message by combining these
:22:49. > :22:52.sounds again and again to get their point across.
:22:53. > :22:56.Now, what that means, critically, is that that's
:22:57. > :23:00.10 million years ago, when we shared a common ancestor
:23:01. > :23:02.with these great apes, that's what our ancestors may have
:23:03. > :23:06.been doing when they combined the first sounds to create syllables
:23:07. > :23:08.that would then be combined into words and it would
:23:09. > :23:11.So that's what they think they are seeing.
:23:12. > :23:13.By combining these sounds in different ways, these animals
:23:14. > :23:16.are trying to reiterate the message, and that could be an early
:23:17. > :23:24.glimpse at the very first formations of words.
:23:25. > :23:29.Explain to ask the process the scientists believe happened between
:23:30. > :23:34.the point these orangutans arrived and the point we are at now.
:23:35. > :23:41.Essentially, these kiss squeaks, the reason they looked at these, because
:23:42. > :23:45.there has been a lot of research done into communication in great
:23:46. > :23:50.apes, orangutans were overlooked because they do not communicate that
:23:51. > :23:54.much. These kiss squeaks are formed similar locally to how our
:23:55. > :24:00.consonants are formed. They are using their lips and tongue to
:24:01. > :24:05.control airflow, they are posting their lips to make the sounds.
:24:06. > :24:10.Consonants at the crucial building block in human language so what they
