:00:10. > :00:14.in Syria ends as Government forces roll in. Troops punch the air in

:00:14. > :00:22.victory as they regain control of Qusair after a three-week fight. The

:00:22. > :00:29.BBC's Lyse Ducet is the first western journalist there. Every

:00:29. > :00:37.house is marked by gunfire. Every street lies in ruin. We've seen only

:00:37. > :00:39.a handful of people who still remain here. In neighbouring Lebanon,

:00:39. > :00:42.celebrations from supporters of Hezbollah who helped drive the

:00:42. > :00:44.Syrian rebels out of Qusair. It's the first time Hezbollah

:00:44. > :00:48.fighters have played such a significant role in the two-year

:00:48. > :00:53.conflict. We'll be asking if there could be repercussions.

:00:53. > :00:59.Also tonight: Doctors, managers and patients tell the NHS in England to

:00:59. > :01:03.be brave and face the fact that some hospital services should be closed.

:01:03. > :01:09.An Islamic centre in North London is burnt down in what may have been a

:01:09. > :01:11.racially motivated attack. And 55 million years old - the

:01:11. > :01:21.fossil of a tiny tree-dwelling creature in China, the oldest

:01:21. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:51.Good evening. The Syrian Army is warning rebel forces to surrender or

:01:51. > :01:57.face death after recapturing the strategically important town of

:01:57. > :02:00.Qusair. 30,000 people lived in the town. Now the streets are deserted

:02:00. > :02:03.after three weeks of intense fighting as Government forces, with

:02:03. > :02:09.the help of Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon, tried and finally succeeded

:02:09. > :02:12.to drive the rebels out. It's a major defeat for the Free Syrian

:02:12. > :02:15.Army. Our correspondent Lyse Doucet and cameraman Phil Goodwin are the

:02:15. > :02:25.first western journalists to make it to the town. They've just sent this

:02:25. > :02:26.

:02:26. > :02:30.report. Qusair is now a ghost town. We drive in under Syrian Army

:02:30. > :02:35.escort, just hours after it fell to the Government. Even on the edges of

:02:35. > :02:40.this city not a building escaped three weeks of intense fighting. The

:02:40. > :02:45.battles raged from shop to shop, from house-to-house, street to

:02:46. > :02:53.street. Most people fled. Or are dead. In the heart of Qusair there

:02:53. > :02:58.is little life in the main square. Aside from the troops. The icon

:02:58. > :03:04.iconic clock tower is still standing but only just. A new flag was raised

:03:04. > :03:12.briefly there morning. For nearly a year Qusair was under rebel control.

:03:12. > :03:17.Today Government troops are marking their victory loudly. This is what

:03:17. > :03:23.victory sounds like in Qusair, the guns being fired in celebration, the

:03:23. > :03:33.cars blaring their horns as they clog the central square. The Syrian

:03:33. > :03:33.

:03:33. > :03:38.Army is declaring victory, but at what price? Qusair is now destroyed.

:03:38. > :03:42.The streets of Qusair are flooded with fighters and tanks and trucks.

:03:43. > :03:49.They tell us they don't want to speak. And then in the distance we

:03:49. > :03:54.spot this column on the move. And notice something different. Ribbons

:03:54. > :03:58.tied to uniforms in the colours of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement. They

:03:58. > :04:03.speak with Lebanese accents. Off camera they confirm that. Qusair

:04:03. > :04:08.lies on vital supply lines less than ten miles from Lebanon's boreder. It

:04:09. > :04:14.was too important for these allies to lose. But so many civilians lost

:04:14. > :04:20.everything in this battle. We saw very few on the streets today. This

:04:20. > :04:26.man thanks God and the Syrian Army that his family is now safe. But

:04:26. > :04:32.look at your city, it's gone, it's destroyed. He blames the rebels for

:04:32. > :04:36.his plight. They killed my brother, he tells me, they killed children,

:04:36. > :04:40.because we support the Government. But still they are in a rush to

:04:40. > :04:50.leave. Who can say when the thousands who once called Qusair

:04:50. > :04:53.

:04:53. > :05:03.home will be back? Their city became a prize in this war. This battle may

:05:03. > :05:05.not be the last here. Many of the rebels have fled to

:05:05. > :05:09.villages north of Qusair, blaming Hezbollah fighters for hastening

:05:09. > :05:12.their defeat. In an interview with the BBC, the Free Syrian Army's top

:05:12. > :05:22.General has warned there could be repercussions inside Lebanon. This

:05:22. > :05:26.

:05:26. > :05:33.report from our Middle East correspondent, Paul Wood. Syrian

:05:33. > :05:42.Army fire power overwhelmed Qusair. But they had help on the ground from

:05:42. > :05:48.the Lebanese militia, Hezbollah. Those who fled this devastated town

:05:48. > :05:52.are bitter about that. TRANSLATION: Hezbollah was attacking

:05:52. > :05:59.so we fled the shelling. Lebanon is getting drawn further and further

:05:59. > :06:03.into this conflict. Syria's civil war could become Lebanon's. The Free

:06:03. > :06:09.Syrian Army top general had this warning about the consequences of

:06:09. > :06:12.Hezbollah's involvement. Hezbollah fighters are envieding Syrian

:06:12. > :06:18.territory and when they continue to do that and the Lebanese authority

:06:18. > :06:24.don't take any action to stop them coming to Syria, I think we are

:06:24. > :06:29.allowed to fight against Hezbollah fighters inside Lebanon territory.

:06:29. > :06:38.In Shi'ite areas of Lebanon which supply Hezbollah's fighters they

:06:38. > :06:43.were celebrating Qusair's haul. 22-year-old Musan was killed a week

:06:43. > :06:48.ago in the battle for Qusair. His family said he died protecting their

:06:48. > :06:53.beliefs. TRANSLATION: We will not allow

:06:53. > :06:57.Syrian allies to fall, because we would be next in line. The war may

:06:57. > :07:02.be escalating in other ways. Government helicopters drop gas

:07:02. > :07:09.canisters in the town of Saraqe be, an attack reported earlier on the

:07:09. > :07:15.BBC. Britain and France now say tests show that sarin gas may have

:07:15. > :07:19.been deployed there. Whether these injuries in Saraqep are from

:07:19. > :07:23.chemical weapons are unproven but a British doctor just back from there

:07:23. > :07:33.believes the Government was behind such an attack. He said he treated

:07:33. > :07:40.the victims. She was sweat sweaty, very hot, red, swollen eyes, tongue,

:07:40. > :07:47.with a bit of froth from her mouth and very constrict constricting eye

:07:47. > :07:51.pupils. So, is this a red line? The French Government has been talking

:07:51. > :07:57.about possible future air strikes to target the regime's chemical

:07:57. > :08:00.weapons. That possibility remains a long way off, and in the absence of

:08:00. > :08:04.western intervention the war certainly seems to be going

:08:04. > :08:10.President Assad's way. Neither side though seems particularly interested

:08:10. > :08:17.in the UN's attempt to start peace talks, and meanwhile the risk grows

:08:17. > :08:20.that Syria's civil war will spread beyond its borders.

:08:20. > :08:23.Labour has accused the Government of complacency over longer waiting

:08:23. > :08:26.times at Accident and Emergency departments. The Prime Minister

:08:26. > :08:28.admitted there've been delays, but said they were getting to grips with

:08:28. > :08:32.the problem. It comes as NHS doctors, managers and patients have

:08:32. > :08:38.come together for the first time to call for some hospitals in England

:08:38. > :08:48.to have their budgets cut so the NHS can deliver better-quality care. Our

:08:48. > :08:48.

:08:48. > :08:53.health correspondent Branwen Jeffreys reports. It was calm today,

:08:53. > :08:57.in a major emergency Salford Royal's A&E department swings into action.

:08:57. > :09:01.It is a specialist trauma centre, with teams trained to deal with the

:09:01. > :09:06.worst injuries. One example of how some hospitals have become more

:09:06. > :09:12.specialised. The pressures on all emergency departments are now a

:09:12. > :09:16.running political debate. We are now meeting our targets for A&E. There

:09:16. > :09:20.was a problem in the first quarter of this year. That is why Bruce

:09:20. > :09:22.Keogh, the medical director of the NHS, will be holding an

:09:22. > :09:27.investigation. The Patients Association says we are reaching

:09:27. > :09:34.crisis point. And that we've got a Prime Minister who says crisis? What

:09:34. > :09:39.crisis? It is not good enough. from politics charities, doctors and

:09:39. > :09:44.NHS managers say more money needs to be spent keeping people out of

:09:44. > :09:48.hospitals, and paying for that could mean some hospital care being

:09:48. > :09:51.concentrated in fewer places. A&E pressures that we've seen

:09:51. > :09:55.recently are a sign that the NHS just isn't working in the right way.

:09:55. > :10:01.What we are saying is that because we've only got the same amount of

:10:01. > :10:06.money that the -- but the demand has increased we need to have better

:10:06. > :10:09.ways of spending that money. some patients are angry at plans to

:10:09. > :10:13.downgrade services at their local hospitals, Dell demonstrations in

:10:13. > :10:17.Trafford and other communities. you can establish good services

:10:17. > :10:20.outside hospitals you could spend less inside hospitals but until

:10:20. > :10:25.you've got those services up and running people won't trust them,

:10:25. > :10:29.people won't use them and you can't make the savings until those

:10:29. > :10:33.services are in place. Tomorrow the man who has run the English health

:10:33. > :10:36.service for years will wade into the debate. David Nicholson, chief

:10:36. > :10:41.executive of NHS England, has given his first interview since announcing

:10:41. > :10:45.he will leave next year. He warns that if money is taken from the NHS

:10:46. > :10:54.to pay for better social care of the elderly white have to mean radical

:10:54. > :10:57.change in the funding and running of hospitals. David Nicholson's speech

:10:57. > :11:00.tomorrow is likely to be bold. Adding to the debate about the

:11:00. > :11:05.future of our hospitals but calling for the NHS to have an independent

:11:05. > :11:10.and radical vision for its own future. The NHS is getting on with

:11:10. > :11:14.doing its job. Caring for millions of people each and every day. But

:11:14. > :11:21.the financial pressure on it is intense, and the political debate

:11:21. > :11:24.around it evermore heated. Counter-terrorism police have been

:11:24. > :11:27.drafted in to investigate a fire which destroyed a Somali cultural

:11:28. > :11:31.centre in North London. The building in Muswell Hill was burnt to the

:11:31. > :11:34.ground overnight. There are fears it may have been targeted in

:11:34. > :11:41.retaliation for the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich last

:11:41. > :11:47.month. Sarah Campbell reports from the scene. A Community Centre

:11:47. > :11:51.reduced to ruin. Run by a Somali Muslim group but open to all as a

:11:51. > :11:57.venue for after-school clubs, sports activities, even local weddings. On

:11:57. > :12:02.an outside wall of the burnt-out building the police say the letters

:12:02. > :12:06.EDL were discovered. Exactly when and where that graffiti was placed

:12:06. > :12:11.is the focal point of the inquiry. We'll pursue all leads until we know

:12:11. > :12:18.where it came from. If it is connected with the fire we'll pursue

:12:18. > :12:21.the offend offenders until they are brought to justice. Staff say there

:12:21. > :12:25.was no graffiti last night. There are fears over community tensions.

:12:25. > :12:28.Police say they are working to reassure the Islamic and Somali

:12:28. > :12:31.communities. Well-wishers have been arriving throughout the day for

:12:31. > :12:38.messages of support for a centre very much seen as part of the

:12:38. > :12:43.neighbourhood. This is the quietest area in North London and I know

:12:43. > :12:45.these things can happen but it is shocking to everyone. Not only the

:12:45. > :12:48.Somali communities but all the communities who live around this

:12:48. > :12:52.area. An English Defence League spokesman said this evening they

:12:52. > :13:01.didn't believe their members were involved. One Muslim organisation is

:13:01. > :13:05.calling for greater protection. A court has been told that the man who

:13:05. > :13:09.drove his van pedestrians in Cardiff, killing a mother of three

:13:09. > :13:14.and injuring 17 others, had a history of mental problems. Matthew

:13:14. > :13:17.Tvrdon, who is 22, drove his farm in what was described as a journey of

:13:17. > :13:20.mayhem for eight miles over 30 minutes in October last year. He has

:13:21. > :13:25.admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and

:13:25. > :13:30.will be sentenced tomorrow. The Prime Minister has accused Ed

:13:30. > :13:33.Miliband of a U-turn, after it emerged Labour would not reverse

:13:34. > :13:37.cuts to child benefit. Labour had criticised the decision to axe

:13:37. > :13:42.benefits for higher rate taxpayers, but the BBC learned today that a

:13:42. > :13:44.future Labour government would keep the changes. Labour says it hit

:13:44. > :13:52.would win the general election, it would have to make tough economic

:13:52. > :13:55.choices. This is the weak Labour 's leaders promised to show us the

:13:55. > :13:59.colour of their money, to tell us not just about the cuts they

:13:59. > :14:06.oppose, but also about the cuts they might have to make if they were in

:14:06. > :14:09.power. Ed Balls announced that winter fuel allowance should be cut

:14:09. > :14:14.for wealthy pensioners. What he didn't say is that he and Ed

:14:14. > :14:17.Miliband have also looked again at the coalition's decision to cut

:14:17. > :14:27.child benefit. News which David Cameron lepton at Prime Minister 's

:14:27. > :14:30.questions today. I know I've been the one on holiday in Ibiza, but

:14:30. > :14:35.they are the ones taking policy altering substances. Totally

:14:35. > :14:40.condemning an attack -- attacking in the strongest possible terms were

:14:40. > :14:45.now turns out to be Labour policy. What complete confusion and weakness

:14:45. > :14:48.from the leader of the opposition. Neither of them spoke about child

:14:48. > :14:52.benefit today but they are agreed, they won't promised to reverse any

:14:52. > :14:58.cuts unless they can show where the money will come from. Two years ago

:14:58. > :15:02.the tone from Ed Miliband was very different. On child benefit, isn't

:15:02. > :15:05.it time the Prime Minister had the grown-up sense to admit this. He's

:15:05. > :15:11.got it wrong. He's made the wrong decision. He should tell middle

:15:11. > :15:14.income families up and down Britain he will think again. It is Labour

:15:14. > :15:18.and not the coalition who'd been thinking again about what they might

:15:18. > :15:23.be able to afford to do if they get into government in two years time.

:15:23. > :15:28.They are reluctant to spell out in public what they are really thinking

:15:28. > :15:31.about in private. The party line is to confirm nothing until closer to

:15:31. > :15:35.an election. But no one disputes that child benefit cuts are here to

:15:36. > :15:39.stay. Let's be clear, Labour will not reverse the cuts to child

:15:39. > :15:46.benefit. We will make all our judgment about all these things when

:15:46. > :15:51.we know the economic circumstances. We will make our decisions in 2015.

:15:51. > :15:54.Is there any chance they will reverse? We have to look at the

:15:54. > :15:59.entire picture. You can ask me as many times as you like the same

:15:59. > :16:03.question and the same answer will be, we don't know yet. What the

:16:03. > :16:06.state of the Treasury revenues will be. The cuts to child benefit began

:16:07. > :16:11.this year for families in which anyone earns more than �50,000 a

:16:11. > :16:15.year. Some voters see the terms in Labour 's approach is letting them

:16:15. > :16:18.down, others as grown-up and responsible. I think it's good news

:16:18. > :16:23.about Labour. I think child benefit is for people who are unemployed and

:16:23. > :16:27.on low incomes, people who need the money. I think it looks bad that

:16:27. > :16:31.he's changed his mind. If you are in charge of a party, you should have

:16:31. > :16:35.your policies and stick with them. Tomorrow, Ed Miliband will make a

:16:35. > :16:38.speech designed to show we will cut spending on welfare. He will claim

:16:38. > :16:46.that Labour is the party of work, which would cut the mounting cost of

:16:46. > :16:50.unemployment. In Turkey, anti-government demonstrators have

:16:50. > :16:53.demanded that senior police chiefs be sacked for organising the violent

:16:54. > :16:57.crackdown on street protests. The Turkish government has told the BBC

:16:57. > :17:04.that investigations are under way into the of pepper spray. There is a

:17:04. > :17:08.photograph showing a riot officer spraying a protester, it has been

:17:08. > :17:12.shown as evidence of brutality. Clashes continue across Turkey,

:17:12. > :17:16.including in the capital, Ankara, and in is mere, where dozens of

:17:16. > :17:20.Twitter users were today arrested for posting messages in support of

:17:20. > :17:29.the protests. The heart of the demonstrations remains in Gezi Park

:17:29. > :17:33.and Taksim Square. From there, Jeremy Bowen has sent this report.

:17:33. > :17:37.Taksim Square in Istanbul is still in the hands of the protesters. It

:17:37. > :17:42.is as if Trafalgar Square in London or Times Square in New York were

:17:42. > :17:46.occupied, with the police choosing to keep the peace by staying away.

:17:46. > :17:51.Gezi Park close by, where the trouble started, is a political

:17:51. > :17:54.carnival. Dozens of groups joining in. Feminists condemning what they

:17:54. > :18:03.say is the government attack on women's rights. Around the corner, a

:18:03. > :18:07.pro- Kurdish MP making a speech. Solving this crisis, getting all of

:18:07. > :18:10.these people to go home is going to take some delicate political

:18:10. > :18:14.footwork. The Prime Minister is an accomplished politician, but in

:18:14. > :18:21.recent years he's been used to having things his own way. He won't

:18:21. > :18:28.want to do anything that leaves him looking weak. Opposition slogans are

:18:28. > :18:32.ready for his return from a foreign trip on Thursday. Shut up, tie up,

:18:32. > :18:37.this one says. He's writing, resign, resign. Even absent and

:18:37. > :18:42.unseen, the Prime Minister is at the centre of this crisis. A government

:18:42. > :18:47.minister says some protests were being exploited by terrorists and

:18:47. > :18:51.bundles, others were legitimate. challenges are something we welcome.

:18:51. > :18:55.We will have elections in nine months time and will listen to the

:18:55. > :19:00.voice of the electorate. If the people think that this government

:19:01. > :19:04.ought to step out, they should address this question. What about

:19:04. > :19:08.the accusation that the Prime Minister acts in an autocratic

:19:08. > :19:11.manner, that he believes he knows what's best for the country and

:19:11. > :19:16.doesn't listen to the one half of the possum dashed by population that

:19:16. > :19:22.didn't vote? He has listened to them. That's not what they said to

:19:22. > :19:27.me. He has said more than 50 times in the last ten years that he is the

:19:28. > :19:32.Prime Minister of all of Turkey. Deputy Prime Minister met

:19:32. > :19:37.representatives of the protesters, which demanded of sacking of police

:19:37. > :19:42.chiefs in Istanbul, Ankara and other cities. In Taksim Square tonight the

:19:42. > :19:46.crowds are bigger than ever. The country waits for the return of the

:19:46. > :19:54.Prime Minister. Where this crisis goes next depends on his response to

:19:54. > :19:58.the protesters and their takeover of the centre of Turkey's biggest city.

:19:58. > :20:01.The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, says government plans to

:20:01. > :20:04.allow nurseries and childminders in England to look after more children

:20:04. > :20:10.are being dropped. Mr Clegg expressed misgivings about the

:20:10. > :20:13.proposals last month, after concerns that child would suffer. Where does

:20:13. > :20:17.this leave childcare plans? Nick Clegg is said to have used the word

:20:17. > :20:20.dead in the water, when he briefed leaders in the childcare sector

:20:20. > :20:25.about this today. He's been pretty clear that his lack of support for

:20:25. > :20:30.these plans does mean that they are effectively being scrapped. The

:20:30. > :20:34.original policy was to allow carers in nurseries and childminders to

:20:34. > :20:39.look after more children than they do now, for example, six,

:20:39. > :20:43.twoyear-macros holds, so long as the staff are better qualified. It was

:20:43. > :20:47.said that this would drive up the quality of the workforce and reduce

:20:47. > :20:52.costs for parents. But when the plans were put out for consultation,

:20:52. > :20:56.they met with a lot of criticism. That seems to have underpinned the

:20:56. > :21:00.decision today. He's worried that the costs won't go down for

:21:00. > :21:04.parents, the quality of care might be undermined and that providers and

:21:04. > :21:09.parents didn't seem to want it. It looks as if a high profile and

:21:09. > :21:12.controversial policy will not go ahead. For decades, Burma was one of

:21:12. > :21:16.the most isolated nations on earth, and the opposition leader became an

:21:16. > :21:20.international symbol of its seclusion. But recent moves towards

:21:20. > :21:23.political openness have brought with them a host of economic

:21:26. > :21:29.Burma and, as our chief business correspondent reports, many

:21:29. > :21:35.international firms now see the country as one of the world 's

:21:35. > :21:38.largest untapped markets. Rangoon after dark. You wouldn't have seen

:21:38. > :21:46.this two years ago. And these young people are taking advantage of all

:21:46. > :21:49.the changes. He's a millionaire now, I'm serious! He's 28 and a

:21:49. > :21:54.millionaire. And they know international businesses want in on

:21:54. > :22:03.the action. There's only one country left in the south of Asia. They will

:22:03. > :22:07.go to it. Burma has the same population as Britain. It is rich in

:22:07. > :22:15.resources, people and potential. That is very attractive to

:22:15. > :22:18.investors. But it's the poorest country in Southeast Asia. Tin Tin

:22:18. > :22:24.has no running water or electricity. The average child here

:22:24. > :22:31.only goes to school for four years. She has only just started sending

:22:36. > :22:41.struggling to make a living and want to escape this poverty. Still,

:22:41. > :22:48.because it is so polar, Burma actually has huge room for growth.

:22:48. > :22:55.To catch up it will need to grow fast. For that to happen it needs

:22:55. > :22:59.more of this. Manufacturing and multinational spring that. Like

:22:59. > :23:07.Coca-Cola opening their first Plantier in 60 years. When they come

:23:07. > :23:12.in, so does cash and training. With the companies, a promise of a big

:23:16. > :23:22.rather developing country, a frontier market with only recent

:23:22. > :23:28.political change? I think the and Mark has embarked upon its journey

:23:28. > :23:32.to essentially bring itself back into the world community. We are

:23:32. > :23:40.very excited with the future potential of this 60 plus million

:23:40. > :23:44.market. Not every company is ready to come in. It is, after all, a

:23:44. > :23:48.frontier market, which means it has huge opportunities but also a lot of

:23:48. > :23:55.risk. In the 1950s, this country was a shining example of economic growth

:23:55. > :24:02.in Asia. And it could be again. But international businesses will want

:24:02. > :24:10.to see reforms continue and an end to social unrest before they return

:24:10. > :24:15.to calling Burma the golden land. It is 55 million years old, it's the

:24:15. > :24:18.size of a mouse and it is thought to be the oldest fossil of a monkeylike

:24:18. > :24:24.creature ever discovered. It was found in China and researchers

:24:24. > :24:28.writing in the science journal, Nature, believe it is the first

:24:28. > :24:36.primate to have emerged after the extinction of dinosaurs. Been given

:24:36. > :24:42.exclusive access to their pictures. Meet Archicebus achilles, an agent

:24:42. > :24:44.tweak -- read well. It was the size of a mouse, but it was a creature

:24:44. > :24:50.like this that eventually evolved into monkeys, apes and then humans.

:24:50. > :24:54.We know what it looks like from this fossil, a 55 million -year-old

:24:54. > :25:00.skeleton. It is beautifully preserved and you can see each

:25:00. > :25:03.bone, and how these feet were able to grasp onto branches. The fossil

:25:03. > :25:11.is helping scientists piece together how early primates evolved into

:25:11. > :25:14.humans. TRANSLATION: This is a very

:25:14. > :25:18.important discovery. Now we've got a nearly complete skeleton, and it

:25:18. > :25:21.happens to be very close to the ancestor of the human species. We

:25:22. > :25:27.could say that the ancestors of humans started to evolve at this

:25:27. > :25:32.point. So where does it fit into our own evolutionary past? More than 65

:25:32. > :25:35.million years ago, a tiny, spiral like creature evolved into the first

:25:35. > :25:40.primate. 10 million years later, some went down this road to become

:25:40. > :25:44.these large tree creatures known as tarsiers, which still exist today.

:25:44. > :25:54.While the rest went on to become monkeys and apes, which includes us

:25:54. > :25:58.humans. Achilles fits in just here, very close to the fork in the road.

:25:58. > :26:03.55 million years ago, the Earth was a tropical jungle. Dinosaurs were

:26:03. > :26:10.extinct and so it was the perfect environment for us to evolve. The

:26:10. > :26:14.question is, could the new discovery be an ancestor of humanity? Fossils

:26:14. > :26:18.are never preserved with their birth certificate or a notice that says,

:26:19. > :26:23.here is your ancestor of all humans. When you find a fossil it

:26:23. > :26:27.could be the ancestor of all humans, but you would never know this. So

:26:27. > :26:33.most we can say is it looks close to what we would expect our ancestor to

:26:33. > :26:36.look like. Scientists will continue to study this ancient find using
