11:06 am
the country including in the capital baghdad i'm listing international say iraq's crackdown on the protests has descended into a bloodbath powerful cyclon has lashed north eastern india and bangladesh killing at least a dozen people more than 2000000 residents moved into shelters over the weekend officials say cyclon has already weakened and the worst is over but the storm has left a trail of destruction in the region. turkey has started sending islamic state fighters who were captured in syria back to their home countries dividers have been held deportation centers in turkey and according to the country's interior ministry the 1st to be repatriated is a u.s. citizen a german combatant will be sent back today as well with more to be repatriated later this week let's get more on this story with our correspondent dorian jones he's standing by for us in istanbul hi dorian what more can you tell us about what the turkish government is doing here. well that's right the
11:07 am
interior ministry spokesman is a charter close been speaking saying that one american citizen has already been to paul 2 today there will be another german and a danish citizen are expected be returned later on today back to their countries and on thursday it will be 7 more german citizens to the islamic state will be returned and possibly 11 french citizens also 2 germans are expected later this week as well so this is part of turkey's commitment to return back foreign fighters to their homeland now this does pose a particular diplomatic tensions be given the fact that some of these fighters are believed to have had their citizenship or announced by their countries that they are from the turkish interior minister sort of monsoon lewis been very clear he said he sees it as nothing more than a diplomatic ploy he says turkey will not be a hotel for these islamic terrorists and it's up to european countries to take their responsibility so there is potentially a looming diplomatic tension there could be low aroud that could be brewing over
11:08 am
this but clear these these islamic state fighters have to go back home what about the timing of this story is happening now. well this is all in that turkey has had believed to be thousands possibly a few 100 foreign fighters linked to islamic state in their jails but also turkey has now been involved in this military operation into syria it has taken control of a strip around 120 kilometers 30 kilometers deep and now in that area there are persons of islamic state fighters and which some are believed to be foreign nationals in turkey possibly in talks with washington and other countries in the region could be taking control of other prisons help of islamic state fighters of which they are believed to be hundreds if not thousands of islamic state fighters in those camps along korea's clear all those countries where they are from have to take them back whether they have a citizenship or not unc or is clear that it's not a hotel and doesn't expect syria to be a hotel for these fighters our correspondent range and speaking to us from istanbul
11:09 am
thank you all turkey's move to repatriate fighters are the so-called islamic state comes as more evidence is being uncovered of the jihadi groups crimes in syria here's more. more and more mass graves of people killed by islamic state of being found in syria thousands of soldiers and civilians were murdered while i asked controlled territory there often for allegedly breaking islamic law many i asked fighters and their families have been held in detention camps run by syrian kurdish forces. they in the united states have been calling on germany to take back a german i has detainees. americans and the syrian kurds have removed a serious threat to our domestic security if they ask germany to take back 25 years and a few women we shouldn't dismiss very quest that is exactly what the german government is doing. foreign minister heiko ma says readmitting german i asked members would
11:10 am
represent a danger to germany if there is not enough evidence to charge them with any crimes . in 4 months we need information about the relevant individuals in order to launch an investigation of criminal proceedings or keep them in detention it's a difficult process for experts argue that u.s. and german investigators have already gathered plenty of evidence in syria by questioning witnesses and suspects. to inform there should be enough information but perhaps the government is frightened that any resulting prison sentences would be so brief that those individuals would soon be free again. the turkish offensive in syria has raised the pressure on germany to take back a german i asked members suspected of crimes. a number of them have reportedly escaped from detention camps in recent weeks. the
11:11 am
security risk. in the people and come back to germany at will the danger is much greater than if an orderly repatriation is organized with as with the knowledge of the security services. that it's especially german women detainees who've renounced their allegiance to islamic state who were hoping for a back kind of repatriation they faced abuse and threats from other detainees still loyal to i asked among them is they not gear came from berlin. the eases it's terrible what crimes i ask has committed in the name of islam that all i want is to be allowed to come home to my beloved germany. whether or not zain up here again has committed any crimes she so far not been allowed to return home. but for her and her 2 year old son that's all she hopes for
11:12 am
. let's bring in our political correspondent. on this story hi max the german government has been skeptical of taking back i asked fighters from syria as berlin changed its mind. so far we haven't heard from the german government how they're reacting to the announcement by turkey today last week that turkey has already made that announcement that they would send repatriates. militants back to the country as we've heard already from the german foreign minister both last week and in our foot as recently is that of course it's very difficult to confirm the nationality of those eyes militants there's a quest if there could be fraud involved and so germany has not confirmed yet if the repatriated eyes militants that turkey wants to send today and during the rest of the week over if those are indeed german nationals if they are indeed sent back
11:13 am
to germany do we know what will happen to them here. as we've heard again of course the german authorities would then have to prove the authority and investigate them as. joining at terrorist organization like the so-called islamic state is forbidden in germany and of course 1st those people would probably be arrested under the suspicion and then be investigated potentially put into a pretty tall detention and then be put to trial and we've seen a couple of trials like this before in germany and in the last year the german authorities have been investigating 24 suspected i as militants who had returned to germany and had been putting charges for 12 of them are political correspondent maximillian acosta reporting for us thank you. you're watching the news still to come these phones are forcing us to take on
11:14 am
a new look at human evolution will find out why they suggest that we stood on 2 legs millions of years earlier than we thought. but 1st there's been celebrations in bolivia after president evo morales resigned he lost his grip on power weeks after an election that he claimed to have won but his victory was overshadowed by claims of fraud and that's part of violent protests the leftists came to power over a decade ago but he was accused of increasingly authoritarian rule. this is how people in the city love pas celebrated the news of change at the top. with fireworks and flags. after almost 14 years in power and battling growing opposition president evo morales took to national television. is the. push them into but i am resigning precisely to put an end to the threats
11:15 am
and persecution of those faced by my brothers and sisters in the socialist movement as they use ominous novels the announcement by moralist folder to mulch was 24 hours that saw 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. the turning point was apparently when the organization of american states reported irregularities in just about every aspect it had examined and recommended new elections. it wasn't just morales who stepped down but also members of his executive. when he 1st came into office the former cocoa farmer and the continent's 1st indigenous president had promised to make bolivia a fairer country he tackled inflation established more opportunities for the country's huge indigenous population and also reduced poverty by almost half. but
11:16 am
he was also seen to abuse his power. that's a look and he ran for reelection after refusing to abide by the results of a referendum that opposed a forced term. now anger has been replaced by optimism. we're free we finally been able to get rid of this dictator i belief we are free now we can say that the people are more united than ever. because there really is a god and after doing so much harm to the country ever morales has left we have to believe in the new bully be on river how that new bolivia might look is unclear normally other top ruling politicians would step in until a new president is elected but they too have left office for now though it's a power vacuum that doesn't seem to worry most bolivians. researchers that a german university say they have found fossils that challenge how we think about
11:17 am
schumann evolution the bones found in southern germany come from a primate that they believed walked upright millions of years earlier than scientists previously thought was possible. these are the bones remnants of 4 skeletons analyzed by paleontologists germany's university of 2 being it they came from a primate the scientists have named. mohseni who is about one metre tall and walked on 2 legs professor madalena berman 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 this calls into question much of what we've known about it so far and 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
11:18 am
may be new variations in the accepted theory of how primates developed into humans . this is 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 ago. and we can speak now to madeleine and then when she's a professor of paleontology at the university of to begin here in germany and lead author of that report you've called this a milestone how important is the study really to human evolution be search it's very important because for the 1st time we have hostile showing us how the last common ancestor of great apes and humans may have to look like now you know if our
11:19 am
ancestors as this report indicates were walking upright on 2 feet twice as long ago as we previously thought thought so far earlier than we previously thought what does that tell us then about human evolution. so the story of human evolution is much older than we believed so far so the fossil record in africa started 6000000 years ago but there's no fossils before which document any great ape but the european fossils are rich in that time period between $14.00 and $6.00 exactly 6 and so we have an out of all possibility to look deeper in human evolution and to understand how not only humans but also chimpanzees and gorillas have evolved how will this change the way you know research human evolution yeah it may change to a lot for instance to questions which are now we can ask are different so the
11:20 am
theory before say is that the environment to be will put a boreal apes to war on 2 legs on the on the on by people but now we found that by people isn't evolved not only in europe and much older but it was in arboreal context so we've ended trees so the question is what is still a mechanism behind this by people in europe you see your research as you said suggests that this fossil shows that upright upright walking started in europe and not in africa is that a coincidence was a reason for that perhaps climate conditions. i mean climate is certainly important but it's not only of what is important for the diversification of space station in great apes so for instance also the fault it will ability this is the
11:21 am
topic and also do the type of forests to live so many questions came you want to pile on to apology and you have to to look for to answer these right professor madalena there must begin to us from the university of tubing in their lead author of the report thank you through speaking to us here and you know we thank you. moving on to sports now in the bundesliga there were 2 top table clashes on sunday frankfurt faced fi broke and earlier on false flag hosted live a close and that the wolves were unbeaten at home in the league since january but the visitors put an end to that impressive run. i after their win over athletically madrid in midweek live accusing were back on and does league of business with a trip to false book under visitors got their noses in front and the 25th minute to county gabi wingers driving run was too much for the hosts and with time almost up the focus and put the game to bed wholly new bursting it's
