find out if there is a connection to i.s. militants. if this is the case, we must see to it that those deported to germany be brought to german courts. we must receive adequate information and expect cooperation from the turkish government. >> suspected supporters of the i.s. not only be repatriated to germany. >> 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 aaron -- whether you like it or not. >> the europeans feel turkey has strong-armed them because they have made the decision unilaterally. >> this is a security problem for turkey, the entire region, and all of europe. we must stop these barbarians from operating at large. the action must be a coordinated one. >> in berlin, opposition parties

say such coordination could have begun earlier and that turkey has long made its intentions clear. brent: for more now, let's go to our correspondent, dorian jones. good evening to you, dorian. who are these foreign captured's supporters that turkey started repatriating? who are they? dorian: the first person that was deported was an american citizen who turkish authorities say was linked to islamic state. this citizen, we understand, was sent degrees. the greek authorities refused to accept him. the turkish authorities apparently refused to accept him. he is apparently in no man's land. understand a danish citizen has been returned. there will be a number of german citizens being set to be

returned including women and children. also 11 french citizens. this is part of turkey's campaign to say that we aren't going to -- we are no longer going to host these jihadists. many of these citizens are believed not to have had their european citizenship revoked. the turkish interior minister says they are still going back to where they come from. that leads to a major row because if the countries refused to accept them, what happens to them? ankara says for too long, europeans are not taking responsibility. a potential looming diplomatic row is on the horizon. brent: why is the turkish government doing this? why is it doing it now? dorian: the turkish military

have crossed into a major operation against the kurdish militia. part of the seizure of territory is taking over a number of prisons of islamic state citizens. ankara is expected to take a wider responsibility. many of them are foreign nationals. ankara is making it clear they cannot stay in syria. they have to go home. currently, according to turkish media reports, there over two and a half thousand foreign nationals in turkish prisons that on kara is looking -- ankara is looking to return. it is unclear how many are european. it is all part of a wider policy ankara has been looking to pursue. they say europe has not taken enough refugees. it is not helped in paying

turkey for hosting refugees. on the question of security and the islamic state militants, europe is not taking responsibility for this wider issue of security. it has to take responsibility of the citizens. it is no good say they are no longer citizens. ankara says they have to go home. brent: dorian jones on the story for us tonight. thank you. for more on the german perspective, i am joined i our correspondent, kate brady. kate: the skepticism is still there, but it is important to understand that germany is obliged to take these people back. as we heard, there are a number of places in the you, a number of member states that have revoked citizens -- citizenship. that is not the case in germany. these people who have been

deemed to be german nationals, they have the right to return to germany. brent: does germany have a rehabilitation program for the people who do come back? people who joined i asked and want to be integrated into society? -- who joined i.s. and want to be integrated into society? kat this ise part: -- kate: this is part of an ongoing debate. there were some programs that have been set up particularly in reasons. in addition to d radicalizing i.s. will attend, it is also important there are plans in place, some of which have already begun, from others and for children who were not active i.s. militants themselves but are obviously going to need counseling to deal with their experiences while husbands and

fathers have been collaborating and working as i.s. militants. on top of that, there are let more issues that need to be dealt with. german authorities are trying to get into place a system so they can check exactly whether these people do have links to the i.s., the so-called islamic state. the first step is usually making sure these people are german nationals. we know the 10 people who are due to come back this week, they are german nationals. the next step will be determining whether they do have links to the i.s. and to see if there is the need to follow up with any kind of legal action. we heard from the german foreign minister that if that is the case, there will need to be a legal process in place and of course as well to avoid risk of

danger of any possible extremist from being on the loose time -- the loose in germany. brent: kate brady on the story in berlin. here are some of the other stories making headlines. a former british intelligence officer who helped found the syrian rescue group, the white helmets, was found dead in turkey on monday. his body was discovered in n his home in istanbul. the cause of his death is unknown. the white helmets work in rebel held areas in syria. members of the far-right from poland and abroad marched in warsaw to mark the c country's independence day. right-wing extremists have been domiminating the event in recent years. poland has become divided since the law and justice party came to power. australian authorities are warning its surrounding areas facing a catastrophic bush

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 less exuberant than during the last election in april. some supporters wave signs: for a coalition -- wave signs calling for the leftist party. >> we will form a progressive government and end the political blockade in our country. >> meanwhile, the separatist conflict in catalonia continuess to pulverize spain. independent activists blocked a highway overpass on monday. it is images like these that have boosted the far-right vox party. there supporters are in a celebratory mood.

task of rebuilding their homes. brent: 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 co2 emissions, those emissions a are increasing mainly due to three factors. a rise in gdp. we have a rise in the demand for energy. people continue having babies. population growth. there is some good news. energy intensity has fallen in june 20 countries, -- in g20 countries, which means energy is being used more efficiently. the big problem is here. with a 80% 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

-- that pales by comparison. talk about these factors -- to tatalk about these figures, i am going to buy lena donat from german watch, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the earth. you contributed to the report we are talking about. the numbers make for scary reading. do you agreeee? lena: i agree it is scary. we saw an increase in co2 emissions in 2018. in 2015 and 16, we saw a decline. now, we see the increase again. it is completely against what was agreed in paris 2015 when all countries around the world agreed to decrease co2 emissions. if we want to keep global warming to 1.5 degree, the g20 countries would need to decrease

their emissions by half. brent: how do you explain what is happening? obviously, not enough is being done. lena: the governments currently do understand the severity of the climate crisis. we see people in the streets calling for climate action. still, our governments are sticking to compromises. they do not see what is happening out there. nowadays, 16,000 people died because of the extreme weather events. this is not take into account sea level rise. by the end of the century, 100 million people could be displaced because of the sea level rise. if you want to take it seriously, you need to act now. brent: we have had climate scientists tell us, we have done our work. now, it is time for the politicians and the citizens to do there's. -- to do theirs. they are not following up, are

they? lena: we do see that renewable energy is increasing in some countries. india, six folded its renewable energy power by -- during the last six years. this is an amazing increase. we also see some countries decide to phase out fossil fuel cars by 2040. these are important signals to industry. there are some promising signs. in saudi arabia, they decreased the emissions radically because they are finally introducing energy efficiency rules for their cars. brent: remind our audience about what could happen if we see a two degrees celsius increase of the average temperature by mid century. we are talking about increased sea levels and increased bad weather or severe weather,

extreme weather? lena: we just saw the images of bushfires in australia. there are going to be more drought. there is going to be heavy rainfall falls that destroy crops. people who are already poor nowadays -- in many african and asian countries -- will feel the impact. here in germany, people see the forests are dying. species are extinct. these are a few examples. >brent: the news is definitely good. we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us tonight. reaching level warming targets could become even harder. that is the finding of a new study highlighting the role that wetlands play in protecting the climate. although they make up little of the service area, boggs and peatlands store a huge knot of carbon. when they are drained, they release carbon dioxide into the

atmosphere. climatate scientists are soundig the alarm. >> bogs and peatlands are found from the arctic to the tropics. although the only make up around 3%3% of the earth surface, they store as much carbon as all of the earth's living vegetation put together. peat is formed when plants die and sink in standing water. the plant material does not decompose, but instead turns ininto layers of peat that cacae many layers thick. if it catches fire, it can smolder for decades. peat fires are very difficult to put out and release huge amounts of carbon dioxide. human beings haveve been drainig bogs for thousands of years, but in an era of climate change, that trend has to be reversed. mostly, to provide land for

farmining. it is an issue all o over the world. >> looking at africa, about 20% of this bog and peatland in kenya and nigeria has been put to agricultural use. in indonesia, and southeast asia , there is a rapid deterioration as bogs are being converted into palm oil plantations. >> some projects like this one in germany are seeking to restore wetlands. the study just released in nature climate change says that unless more are returned to their natural state, emissions from drained bogs could reach up to 40% of the carbon budget laid down in the paris climate change agreement. that is more than is emitted to all of the world's power plants together. brent: sports news now. stefanos tsitsipas has won his
