this is g w news live from berlin going home turkey is sending members of so-called islamic state captured in northern syria back to their home countries turkey has started sending back as detainees to their home countries in europe and the united states turkey saying that it is not a hotel for foreign militants what kind of reception. when they get home also coming up tonight violence escalates in hong kong after police shoot a protester the city's leader insisting the government will not yield to pressure

from the street and warns protesters that hong kong is on the brink of no return and confusion in bolivia reports of fresh protests and looting in the south american country a day after president evo morales resigned his backers are calling it a coup it's unclear tonight who is in charge. i'm off it's good to have you with us tonight turkey says that it has begun is sending suspected so-called islamic state supporters who were captured in syria back to their countries of origin the turkish interior ministry saying that a us citizen is the 1st person to be repatriated berlin has confirmed that it expects several german nationals to arrive later this week turkey recently

criticized his western allies for refusing to take back their citizens and warned that it would send back the militants and their relatives even if their citizenship has already been revoked. pictures from camps in syria those set for deportation are primarily relatives of suspected i asked fighters including women and children out of roughly 20 germans who are now in turkish deportation camps 10 are to be repatriated the german government has expressed surprise florence is not fit for this it's important for us to find out if there's a connection to i.a.s. militants and if this is the case then we must see to it that those deported to germany be brought before german courts to do that we must receive adequate information and we expect cooperation from the turkish government from the turkish they've. suspected supporters of the us will not only be repatriated to germany he says she did these guidelines we have

a message for all european governments we are sending these people back to you starting monday we are sending them back whether you like it or not. the europeans feel turkey has strong armed because it made this decision unilaterally without discussing it with e.u. countries these. this is a security problem for turkey the entire region and all of europe will pass we must stop these barbarians from operating at large again and this action must be a coordinated one was called idiot in berlin opposition parties say such coordination could have begun much earlier and that turkey had long since made its intentions clear. or more now let's go to our correspondent dorian jones he's on the story forwards in stamboul good evening to you dorian who are these foreign captured supporters that turkey started repatriating today i mean where who are.

well the 1st person who was deported was an american citizen who say with a link to islamic state now this citizen we understand clearly turkish media reports he was sent to greece we understand it's a greek authorities refused to accept him and the turkish parties apparently refused to accept him and he's currently now in no man's land what the situation is going to be we understand that the danish citizen has already been returned and there will be a number of german citizens being set to be returned in the next few days including women and children. french citizens now this is part of turkey's campaign to basically say that we're not going to host these. they have to go back to where they come from but there is a problem here many of these citizens are believed not to have had their european citizenship revoked now the turkish interior minister says that's no excuse they're

still going back to where they come from now that leads to a potentially major diplomatic route because if these countries refuse to accept them what happens to them to they end up in diplomatic limbo but. on this they say for too long the europeans aren't taking responsibility and it's up to now for them to start taking responsibility for their citizens so a potential looming diplomatic route is on the horizon. why is the turkish government doing this and why is it doing it now. well i think now it's turkish military have crossed into serious part of a major military operation against this kurdish militia part of the seizure of syrian territory take over a number of prisons state militants and to possibly expand its operation take a wider responsibility for the thousands of islamic state militants across this area many of them foreign nationals possibly in numbers of 2 to 3000 and. making it

clear that these foreign nationals can stay in syria if we're responsible they have to go home currently turkish media reports there are over 2 and a half 1000 foreign nationals in turkish prisons. looking to return. as many as 800 are ready to return unclear how many european but many are believed to be european and this is all part of a wider policy that our own chris been pursuing again sure that europe from the get go of the syrian conflict hasn't taken enough responsibility it hasn't taken enough refugees it hasn't helped with the pain of turkey hosting refugees and on this question of security and the question of these islamic state militants again europe isn't taking responsibility for this issue of security and it has to take responsibility all of the citizens it's no good saying the citizens on chris says they have to go home and turkey is determined to make your face up to its responsibilities now. dorian thank you.

our going to take a story now present here to germany for that perspective i'm joined by our correspondent kate brady here in berlin good evening to you kate we know that u.s. president donald trump has been calling for germany and other european countries to take back their isis fighters now we've got the turkish president saying that has to happen so germany is kind of caught in the middle here isn't it it's under pressure from the u.s. and turkey but the german government remains rather reluctant to take these people back doesn't. well the skepticism is still that but at the same time it's important to understand that. germany is indeed obliged to take these people back now as we had there in the report there are a number of places in the e.u. a number of member states which have revoked citizens' citizenship and that is not the case in germany so these people who have been deemed to be german nationals

they have the right to return to germany and does germany have a rehabilitation program for the people who do come back and people who joined us and want to come back and be integrated back into society. well this is all part of a much bigger debate which is being going on in germany for many many months now as many i asked fighters of war ready started to trickle back into germany who have decided to come back on their own accord and then there are some programs that have already been set up particularly in prisons and also in addition to radicalize in i asked militants for example it's also important that there are plans in place some of which have already begun for mothers as well and for children who want active militants themselves but are obviously going to need help and counseling to deal with their experiences while husbands and fathers have been collaborating and

working as i asked militants on top of that though there are a lot more issues that need to be dealt with now in germany german authorities are quickly trying to get into place a system so that they can check exactly whether these people do indeed have links to the i.s.o. the so-called islamic states of course and the 1st step is usually making sure that these people are indeed german nationals and we know now that the 10 people who choose to come back this week they are german nationals but the net next step will be determining whether they do indeed have links to the ins and then to see if there is the need to to follow up with any kind of legal action of course we heard there as well from german foreign minister. that they fear is the case that there will need to be a legal process set in place and in of course as well to avoid any risk of danger

here of any possible extremists on being on the loose here in germany. thank you. well hong kong is on edge after a day of escalating violence in pro-democracy demonstrations one protester is in the hospital after being shot and wounded by police in a shocking confrontation that was caught on camera authorities are denying rumors that police were ordered to use their firearms to bring the situation under control in another incident a bystander expressing probating views were set on fire hong kong's leader kerry lamb is warning that the government will not valid to pressure by demonstrators. an officer and a man dressed in white are locked in a struggle as a man in black approaches at this point the officer raises his gun and shoots him why was the shooting itself is too graphic to show the man then collapses and

moments later another officer then seems to be patting him down possibly checking for a weapon it all happened as pro-democracy protesters trying to close down streets and train lines at a press conference the police and the shooting was in self defense and in the interest of public safety. the officer believed it was very likely that the revolver would be snatch and the consequence that would be the sausages death and casualties would have resulted in the whole incident the officer $53.00 shots including one that hit that man. the police say they are investigating hospital officials say the wounded man is in critical condition the shooting has inflamed many protesters i don't understand more here have to sit but they will. soon after what they do you have time to sit here for just sit at the drive in another

incident a man was set on fire and legibly after getting into a dispute with protesters he's also in critical condition in a hospital. hong kong's governor kerry lamb says that the government will not back down against violent protesters. if there is do any. wishful thinking that by escalating violence the hong kong as a government will yield to pressure to satisfy the so-called political team on this i am making this statement clear and loud. that will not happen. elsewhere police fired tear gas and deployed a water cannon in various parts of the city they also charged on to university campuses where students were protesting. and they wus years berlinger has more now from hong kong. well it started this morning with this shot fired on

the protester the protester is in the i.c.u. at the moment that has of course brought a lot of people to the streets it's a strike they many people called to come out today and it happened when protesters tried to block a wrote and this policeman who was a traffic police not to riot police then got into a scuffle with them he was tackling tackling one protester and another one approached and then he shot at him later there were other incidents where protesters have become very violent against people who disagreed with them on woud some kind of standoff with them one very dramatic incident which was shared on the internet of a protest chosing a man in a liquid and then setting him at place that man is also in critical condition in the hospital these 2 events of course very likely to escalate the violence for the

so far we have seen clashes in many parts of hong kong that was much used earlier there reporting from hong kong here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world thousands of members of the far right from poland and abroad marched through the streets of warsaw on monday to mark the country's independence day right wing extremists have been dominating the annual been in recent years poland has grown increasingly divided since the law and justice party came to power back in 2050 australian authorities are warning that its largest city sydney and surrounding areas are facing a catastrophic bushfire threat a state of emergency has been declared for the entire state of new south wales and queensland at least 3 people have already been killed while thousands have been forced to leave their homes spain's political deadlock is set to continue afterwards 4th inconclusive election in as many years while the governing socialist party celebrating the victory in sunday's election it failed to secure

a majority the far right vox party with its vehement stance against kettle on independence more than doubled its seats in parliament. the world's biggest economies are not doing enough to fight climate change that is the finding in a new report by the climate transparency network instead of a decrease in c o 2 emissions laid out by the paris climate accord those emissions are increasing mainly due to 3 factors what are the a rise in g.d.p. we've got a rise in the demand for energy and of course people continue having babies population growth now there is some good news here as well in intensity has fallen in g 20 countries which means energy is being used more efficiently but the big problem is here more than 80 percent of energy is still generated by highly polluting sources coal oil and gas the use of non carbon energy

sources such as nuclear and renewables like solar and wind well that pales by comparison and to talk about these figures i'm joined here in the studio now by don't not from german watch that a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the climate and the earth is good to have you on the program you contributed to that report that we're talking about and the numbers make for i mean i could say scary reading you agree yes i do agree that scary i mean we saw one point i think increase in few 2 missions in 2800 compared to the last year we saw in 201516 we saw a decline in emissions and that was promising but now we see this increase again and this is completely against what was agreed and parents 2015 when all countries around the world agreed to decrease cloud c

o 2 emissions and if we want to keep going to $1.00 degree. the d 20 countries and on what need to reduce them missions by hols. how do we split what's happen. you can be obviously not enough is being done. but i think that the governments currently don't understand the severity of the climate crisis they don't take it serious and have i mean we see people on the streets very calling for climate action but still governments sticking to come from mises and they don't see what's happening already out there in reality i mean already nowadays 16000 people die every year because of extreme and weather events and this doesn't even take into account sea level rise by the end of sensory 100000000 people could be displaced because of the sea level rise and this will be that i met effects if you really want to take it seriously you need to act now you know we hear too we've had climate scientists on this program tell us time and time again we have done our work now it's time for the politicians and for the citizens to do their. core to

this report they're not following up or that well there are some promising signs i mean we do see for example that renewable energy is really increasing in some countries for example india sixfold its energy of power by doing that. so this is like an amazing increase. and we also see that for example some countries decide to phase out fossil fuel cars by 2014 so these are really important signals to industry i think as well so there are some promising signs of for example saudi arabia they decreased the transport and missions. radically over the last years because they finally introduce energy efficiency rules for their cars which it can very like he's just remind our audience too about what could happen if we or you know if we see a 2 degree celsius increase of the average temperature here by mid century we're

talking about as you said increased sea levels and what increased bad weather or severe weather extreme weather i mean we just saw the images of fires in australia this. just one example there's got to be more droughts there are going to be heavy rain falls that completely destroy crops and they harvest so people that and already poor nowadays for example many african and asian countries well a few the those impacts much more than people here in germany for example would do but also here in germany people see that the forests dying that species are extinct so these are just in the few examples to mention the new stuff really not good. with german what shall we appreciate you taking the time to talk with this one. more reaching global warming targets could become even harder that's according to a new study highlighting the role wetland ecosystems play in protecting the earth's climate although they make up little of the planet's surface area bogs and peat

land store a huge amount of carbon when they're drained they release it into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide climate scientists are now sounding the alarm. bogs and peat lands are found from the arctic to the tropics and although they only make up around 3 percent of the earth's surface they store as much carbon as all of the earth's living vegetation put together pete is formed when plants die and sink beneath standing water if the water is low in oxygen the plant material doesn't decompose but instead slowly turns into carbon which layers of peat they can be many meters thick if the peat thing catches fire it can continue to smolder for decades peat fires are very difficult to put out and release huge amounts of carbon dioxide as they burn. human beings have been draining bogs for thousands of years but in an era of climate change scientists say that trend has to be reversed around

$4000000.00 hectares of wetlands that were once carbon sinks have been drained in the last few decades alone mostly to provide land for farming it's an issue all over the world. illegal yet after looking at africa for example about 20 percent of this bargain pete land in kenya nigeria has been put to agricultural use making it a source of greenhouse gases. in indonesia and southeast asia and there's a rapid deterioration as bokes being converted into palm oil plantations on. plan taj some projects like this one in germany are now seeking to restore wetlands the study just released in the journal nature of climate change says that unless more are returned to their natural state the missions from the trained dogs could soon reach up to a whopping 40 percent of the carbon budget laid down in the paris climate change agreement that's more than as

a method by all the world's power plants together. a former bolivian president evo morales is accusing his country's opposition of staging a coup he resigned as president on sunday amid pressure from the opposition and the military morale as may remember declared victory in a disputed election last month that triggered weeks of protests more unrest broke out overnight in the capital will pause after morello's announced that he is stepping down buses were set on fire and the looting of shops was reported around his resignation comes after 14 years as president and it leaves a power vacuum in the country. are dualist bring in d.-w. corresponded johanan ramirez who is standing by for us in the libyan capital a pause good evening to you you know on so we know nearly everyone from the rebels his government has resigned so do we know who was in charge in bolivia today.

yes after these waves off a resignations nobody. annulus the former vice president off the congress and now president of the congress she should take over if i were on an interim basis but the problem is that to do so she needs the congress should meet to accept this resignation letter it was to supposed to happen today but they think they couldn't meet today because of all the problems that have been happening in this city i need to hold contrie last night we had a a a really it's. going to hold him in the whole country so that's why they couldn't meet today the a schedule to meet again tomorrow and then they should set this letter before that she cannot take power so in this moment there is no president there is no one in

the head of the executive power but this paid continues to function through their ministries and other. public instances in the long term that's a good point because they're getting a report to that the military have said that it will guarantee that public services continue to function at least in the near term what message do you think all of this since to the rest of latin and south america especially to venezuela cuba and also chile i think that this is a very important message for all the countries for all the region that this sausage that this society fire from political parties far from the army they can do things to make things change but this is a very interesting phenomenon here because this is actually this society who have good ideas out of power but if in his that in other countries i mean believe he has a very strong culture of doors like trade unions or associations of

women also sessions or farmers so they have a really very important role in the country and that's not the case in other countries such as venice well she they already can i was so that's why i think here in bolivia we have this very interesting phenomenon and i don't think maybe this is like something that could spread in the region brant ok did we use your 100 mira's joining us tonight from the libyan capital of parts johann thank you very much. this is d.w. news and these are our top stories hong kong police shot one pro-democracy protesters at close range early on monday and demonstrators set another man on fire both are in critical condition the territory's leader has warned that the government will not give in to pressure from the street. turkey have started
