elsewhere police fired tear gas and deployed a water cannon and various parts of the city they also charged on to university campuses where students were protesting. turkey has begun sending suspected so-called islamic state supporters who were captured in syria back to their countries of origin the turkish interior ministry says a us citizen was the 1st to be repatriated germany is also confirming that it inspects several german nationals to arrive later this week turkey recently criticized its 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citizens and warned that it would send back the militants and their relatives even if their citizenship has already been revoked.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
9:05 pm
are to be repatriated the german government has expressed surprise once is not the flow of this it's important for us to find out if there is a connection to its 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 been suspected supporters of the us will not only be repatriated to germany he says she is going to have a message for all european governments we have sending these people back to you starting monday. we're sending them back whether you like it or not. the europeans feel turkey has a strong arm 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 it will pass we
9:06 pm
must stop these barbarians from operating at large again and this action must be a coordinated one was called idiots in berlin opposition parties say such coordination could have become much earlier and that turkey had long since made its intentions clear. for more now let's go to our correspondent dorian jones he's on the story for us in istanbul good evening to you dorian who are these foreign captured supporters that turkey started repatriating today i mean where the who are . well we understand the 1st person who was deported was an american citizen who say he was linked to islamic state now this citizen or we understand clearly turkish media reports was sent to greece what we understand is 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 frankly what the
9:07 pm
situation is going to be we understand that a 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 and also a leavened french citizens now this is part of turkey's campaign to basically say that we're not going to lower longer hosts 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 do they end up in diplomatic limbo but unequivocal 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 or potential looming diplomatic route is on the horizon do we know why is the turkish government
9:08 pm
doing this and why is he doing it now. well i think now is understand the turkish military has crossed into serious part of a major military operation against this kurdish militia part of the seizure of syrian territory seen take over a number of prisons of islamic state militants set to possibly if it does expand its operation take a wider responsibility for the thousands of his state militants across his area many of them of foreign nationals possibly in numbers of 2 to 3000 and is making it clear that these foreign nationals can stay in syria if we're responsible they have to go home currently the turkish media reports there are over 2 and a half 1000 foreign nationals in turkish prisons that looking to return to the forty's 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 it says that europe from
9:09 pm
the get go of the syrian conflict hasn't taken enough responsibility and 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 the citizens it's no good saying that they're no longer citizens and chris says they have to go home and turkey is determined to make your face up to its responsibilities now. in stamboul story and thank you all more on the german perspective i'm joined now by our correspondent kate brady. well the skepticism is still there 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.
9:10 pm
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 germany have a rehabilitation program for the people who do come back to me 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 already started to trickle back into germany who have decided to come back on their own accord now there are some programs that have already been set up particularly in prisons and also in addition to radicalize in i-s. 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
9:11 pm
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 thought is the case
9:12 pm
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 here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a former british intelligence officer who helped found the syrian emergency rescue group the white helminths was found dead in turkey early on monday james late missier body was discovered near his home in istanbul the cause of death is not known the white helmets work in rebel held areas in syria 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 what we need stream this have been dominating the annual event in recent years poland has grown increasingly divided since the law and justice party came to power back in 2015 australian authorities

9:14 pm
independence made the biggest games this was spain's 4th election in as many years for the paper as its clear patron sanchez won the election but how he plans to bring together a majority capable of governing remains a mystery even to his supporters. outside the socialist party headquarters the mood was markedly less exuberant than during the last election in april. some supporters wave signs calling for a coalition with the leftist pajamas party but sanchez seems to want to keep his options open. bubbles that we will form a progressive government and end the political blockade in our country that is to fight. meanwhile the separatist conflict in catalonia continues to polarize independence activists blocked a major highway voter passed between spain and france on monday it's images like
9:15 pm
these that have boosted the far right vox party. their supporters are in a celebrate tory mood the party vowed to get tough on catalan separatists and more than doubled their number of parliamentary seats. the gap between the parties on the right and the left has widened after this vote leaving spain more divided than before. you know images of huts turned to island dwellings in fields swamped by water cycle bulls of facts are apparent in coastal areas of bangladesh you see right there in india at least 2 dozen people have been killed but mass evacuations probably saved many lives. it was a vicious film and the after affects us still being felt cyclon bulbul made landfall
9:16 pm
at the weekend packing winds of 120 kilometers per hour and dumping incessant rain on the coastal regions of india and bangladesh. more than 2000000 people were evacuated from their homes and ferry to emergency shelters where they spent the night in safety. but some refused and paid with their lives a bangladeshi disaster management official said the victims in his country died because they didn't heed evacuation orders. the storm has now passed but it's left a visible trail of destruction. and we return from the shelter we found our cattle were squashed into the fallen house everything's ruined. thousands of homes have been destroyed or spoiled by the sea it's the same picture in parts of india. but yes houses have been smashed sheds have been washed away trees have been ripped from the ground it all happened at night we can tend to our house it's all covered
9:17 pm
in mud and i think. in india and in bangladesh thousands are now faced with the task of rebuilding their homes. 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
9:18 pm
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 were i mean i could say scary reading you agree yes i do agree that scary i mean we saw 1.8 to increase and few 2 missions in 2018 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. c
9:19 pm
o 2 emissions and if we want to keep going to $1.00 degree. the g 20 countries and on what need to reduce them missions by hols and how do you we hate you we explain what's happening in the obviously not enough is being done. well i think that the government's currently don't understand the severity of the climate crisis and they don't take it serious and have i mean we see people in the streets very calling for climate action but still governments sticking to come for mises and they don't see what's happening already out there and really see i mean already nowadays 16000 people die every year because of extreme climate 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 just for these a dramatic effect if you really want to take it seriously you need to act now you know we here 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
9:20 pm
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 is powered by during the last 6 years 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 that these are really important signals to industry i think as well so there are some promising signs of for example saudi arabia they decrease the transport and the. radically over the last years because they finally introduce energy efficiency rules for their cars which it can very like is 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
9:21 pm
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 bushfires in australia this is just one example there's got to be more droughts there are going to be heavier. falls that completely destroyed 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 forest dying that species are extinct and so these are just in the few examples to mention in the news is definitely not good. with german what should we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us like thank you. well reaching global warming targets could become even harder that's the finding of a new study highlighting the role that wetlands play in protecting the climate although they make up little of the planet's surface area bogs and pete layer store
9:22 pm
a huge amount of carbon when they're drained they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere climate scientists are now selling the a war game 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 peak 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
9:23 pm
once carbon sinks have been drained in the last few decades alone mostly to provide land for farming use an issue all over the world illegally and after looking at africa for example about 20 percent of this bogun peat land in kenya nigeria has been put to agricultural use making it a source of greenhouse gases. in indonesia and southeast asia there's a rapid deterioration as bokes being converted into palm oil plantations on. time 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. sports is now in tennis to
