7:16 am
they'd be repressed or what they could lose. but among my generation that fear is a lot smaller and we're willing to overcome that fear to achieve our goal profound changes to the system. reform reform reform with a century long tradition of spearheading social uprisings student associations are a force to be reckoned with experience has taught them that coordination is key the current demonstrations have become a melting pot for dozens of different causes so before bilin heads into a big meeting of social leaders she sits down with representatives from other universities to unify their message here you know i think the boxing in a way is that we're already asking for many things. there's enough social momentum right now to deal a heavy blow to the system but we need to be coordinated. i prefer our goals to be smaller than not be able to reach them different than we should agree on 3 aspects 3 focal points as

7:18 am
them to leave their but i loathe. the police of betraying the chilean people you can tell by their actions they don't feel part of this country anymore if you don't feel part of the people who. sent them to you or your losses help them but their oil. but bilin refuses to be intimidated she's determined to keep protesting no matter how tired no matter how scared showing up in the street to her is what she owes to those who have lost their lives seeking a better future for chile. i don't rate for all to be living this moment in history. but i'm also frightened sad and nostalgic thinking about the fact that people have died for this that what would it . mean we should always remember them because they were part of a movement that's going to change chile. in
7:19 am
a way it already has. and all those fighting alongside her know what they're asking for a lot but driven by a newfound sense of community and the desire to change the course of history they don't seem likely to settle for anything less. well celebrations make it marking of the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago have mostly focused on the center of the german capital but in the city of pottstown just to the southwest of berlin another icon of the cold war also saw celebrations if the clinica bridge the bridge of spies which was the favorite location for exchanging captured secret agents. that was beethoven's ode to joy rang through the night as red laser beams lit up the famous bridge between west berlin and potsdam 30 years ago on the 10th of november 1809 the border crossing at the glynn a bridge was reopened images from that historic night show thousands of people

7:22 am
legs professor madeline of burma led the team and it was previously believed that walking upright was an achievement of mankind that it started relatively late but now we find it at 12000000 years ago so this calls into question much of what we've known about it so far. it's not just given us as age that's disrupting accepted theories the bones were discovered in the allegory region of southern germany it was previously thought that the 1st by primates came from africa. that means there may be new variations in the accepted theory of how primates developed into humans . the question is whether this ability to stand up is the identical ability we find in early humans or whether early humans have practically reinvented it in africa independently. if turns out to be a human ancestor that could also mean some of its descendants may very way to africa that's where homo sapiens our species 1st appeared roughly 300000 years
