8:06 am
bob what are they so who is standing by in madrid for us good to see you barbara it seems that these elections haven't changed much which begs the question what does spain go from here. that is the question where do i go from here that pedro sun shows must've put to him self last night when he was tossing and turning in his bed because the point is looking at today's papers you see he wins the election bought for me the government is even more difficult than before that's what he said it's the plain truth he comes out even worse he lost a few seats not too bad basically his vote held up bought the possible coolish and hartnell most votes and so on the left there are no further away from even a simple majority in parliament then they were before the selection so they really need to go home and sort of regret that they ever called it and that they didn't
8:07 am
get together before making this rather stupid political decision to sort of called voters off again it's even more difficult to get together after this vote or is there some soul searching to do for pedro sanchez then but what about people in spain what are they expecting of that politicians now. people really are a spec thing and we did talk yesterday at the polling station we talked to people and asked them what do you hope for and it was really uniform the answer i mean wherever. each one of the other political sides that they said they need to get together and find a solution they need to be a way out of this deadlock because you can't just carry on letting people vote this is the 4th election and for years the last one took place in april of this year you can't just come back to the voters and say you didn't do this right we need to need to do it again and pleas for dues a different result i mean that doesn't work so there will have to be some sort of
8:08 am
basic restraint kings fans politics and they need to sort of get closer to the idea of working together and forming coalitions or sort of support and supply of arrangements whatever in order to figure out a government that can govern and that can make some decisions that is most of what people really want is something we did see barbara is the far right vox party said to become the 3rd largest party in space what propelled vote is to get behind that . it is really a mix of a very different reason that sort of is behind this original to box parties one is and maybe the main the most important one really is the catalan crisis fox really managed to whip up nationalist feeling amongst many spaniards who haven't thought about the unity of spain for decades it was a given but now that the separatists are working so hard to break the country up it really means that they sort of did flock to fox because fox took an incredibly
8:09 am
strong stance on that and said we need emergency powers we need the police we need the law to suppress these separatists and this is not cannot be allowed to carry on so that is one reason the other is it's a protest vote and they are sort of singing to the populist tunes that we know from other european countries they are strongly anti immigration for instance and then there is just the header specialty that we might want to look at and that is there are strongly against women's rights stripped spain has in the last decade seen a rather sort of rapid modernization on that front social modernization and it seems that many spanish minal look at this and say we don't like it this is going too far so they get there it and against abortion the against the other rights for women equality rights and so on and so that is a mix of reasons that put voters that got voters to sort of put their cross to to the vox party whether this will hold up is yet to be seen it might be that they
8:10 am
have sort of reached the political pinnacle and that they might go down from here because they're not going to be in government so they're going to remain in a position for a while to come to putting for us from our trade off area but are they so thanks barbara. bolivia's embattled president evo morales has announced his resignation weeks after election marred by claims of fraud weeks of unrest followed last month's vote which morales claimed he had won after 3 terms in office but alice was accused of increasingly authoritarian rule his resignation set off celebrations with thousands of bolivia and taking to the streets. the this is how people in the bolivian city live past celebrated the news of change at the top with fireworks and flags. after 14
8:11 am
years in power and battling a growing swell of opposition president evo morales took to national television to announce he would resign. i resign my presidency why did i decide to resign so that opposition leaders missa and come up show do not continue to persecute my brothers union leaders i mean that while. they reenter syndicalists the morale this announcement followed a tumultuous 24 hours the source support for him falling away fast 1st bolivia's police abandoning their posts and joining the protests and then a call from the chief of the military for him to go quote for the good of the country. bolivia has been rocked by instability and rioting since the election on october the 20th even morale has declared himself the winner of the ballot but critics say it was marred by fraud. now anger has been
8:12 am
replaced. by optimism. my dear. we're free we finally been able to get rid of the stick to it or i believe we are free now we can say that the people are more united than ever ok now you know there really is a god and after doing so much harm to the country ever more alice has left it we have to believe in the new believe we are living. but with an entire generation who has no no other president it's far from clear what that new bolivia might look like . when our correspondent you and i meet as has been following events in the past he says evil model has had no choice but to stand down he didn't have any more the support of the police anymore and then he don't have the support of the army you know how the support of the bolivian workers essential which has been
8:13 am
a sector that has been very very important for him to foresee for a very long time so today they said if ever morale is. to step aside and it can give the stupidity we agree that overall this is the life of the father so i think i think that that was a very different. thank you to the hot any choice now that the that this sitting up a huge party everyone people are going through this in the streets party in celebrating this moment on the other while you what you hear are fireworks up to the protestors correspondent i mean it is in the past that you're watching the news still it's a calm these fossilized depends on forcing a rethink on human evolution we'll find out why they suggest that we sit on to next week in sydney is that we thought. which it is government has given in to a key demand of protest is announcing that the current constitution dating from the
8:14 am
era of the dictator general pinochet is to be scrapped interior minister said that a new cause. situation would be drawn up by a constituent assembly before being put to the people in a referendum has been rocked by 3 weeks of sometimes violent protest amman and constitutional reform and greater equality he met up with one student leader for whom the last few weeks have been unusually hectic. it's another busy day for bill and lot on the. talks meetings roundtables cord an aging mobilizations on the fly all before 3 pm that's when her campus is evacuated for security reasons every day the protests have turned life in upside down but a lot on the doesn't mind for her the revolt was long overdue. or more took they more to call it i think the phone calls for a long time people were afraid to protest because they couldn't foresee how badly they'd be repressed or what they could lose. but among my generation that fear is
8:15 am
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 chile 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 we not be able to reach them to be and we should agree on 3 aspects 3 focal points us a base for our upcoming actions. we need to push for
8:16 am
a referendum the strikes in the munchies have become very repetitive every week we say let's strike but the message needs to be clear today we're striking because we need a constitutional referendum. gathered with national union representatives bilin exposes the students 3 fundamental demands a constitutional referendum a revitalization of the public education system and an immediate end to human rights violations at the hands of the country's riot police. law enforcement agents are being accused of excessive use of force rape torture and even manslaughter in the context of the protests. but the police surely have protocols but i believe they dehumanised the protesters to the point that they're just the subjects of orders that need to be executed to see if people are out in the street they want them gone and they don't care about how they get them to leave their but i know
8:17 am
that. the police of betraying the chilean people you can tell by their actions they don't feel part of this country anymore or don't feel part of the people. or yellow says help them but they. but bill lim 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. also. i don't rate fall to be living this moment in history. but i'm also frightened by saddened 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 welcome in a way it already has. and all those fighting alongside her know they're
8:18 am
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. celebrations marking 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 then another icon of the cold war also so celebrations is the clean a bridge the bridge of spies which was the favorite location for exchanging captured secret agents. 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 streaming across the border previously

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 ken it's not just the 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
