capitol. haru mutasa has this report. >> reporter: after a night of gunfire and explosions, the dead are being counted on voting day. this man was an opposition member. no one here knows who killed him or why, but it's frightening them. >> we don't sleep all night. we don't sleep. we are here. we see or hear the guns again neighborhoods. we don't know. we have fear. >> reporter: people say he was killed somewhere else and then dumped here. it is causing a lot of anger here. people are really concerned there could be lines have after the election. the neighborhood has been tense ever since the president announced he was running for a third term. the president voted in his hometown, and says he is impressed by the large voter turnout in the countryside where he is popular. >> translator: today we have obtained a positive page in the

history of our country. this marks a big achievement, and [ inaudible ] the consolidation of democracy in our country. this is a decisive opportunity to allow all burundians to elect the best candidate, someone they feel will encourage development of the country. >> reporter: but in the capitol things were different. lines at polling stations were shorter. some refused to vote. those who did say they want peace. >> translator: it's my right to vote. it's also good to vote to have a president who will govern this country. >> reporter: many boycotted the election. the international community including the african union say they won't recognize the election result. it's widely expected the president will win. his opponents say they won't stop trying to remove him from power. >> haru is live for us in bujumbura. give us your assessment of what

the mood there is and whether the president is right when he says there has been a large turnout. >> reporter: we're told in the countryside the lines were longer than here in the capitol and other urban areas. the mood at the moment the sun is going down and it will be dark soon people are tense, they are concerned of what could happen. some of the lines were so small at polling stations in the capitol, and some have closed. some have finished counting the results already. but the results will be announced in a few day's time. people expect the results to come out fairly early, because it is expected that if the president wins he wants to make sure he is firmly in charge once the results are announced. >> there are seven challengers against the president. none of them are likely to come

close, so there is this problem that the results, whenever they are announced will not have any credibility. >> reporter: exactly. so if he is sworn in as president, if he does win, who will recognize him? most people in the international community have said they won't recognize this result. the african union, i mean that hardly ever happens, they normally stand by each other, thu it seems the e.u. has said they won't recognize the poll. so then what? he says he doesn't care. as far as he is concerned, he has supporters and will stay in power. when people ask him about this threat of those who have tried to remove him by force, he says i'm not worried about that. i can look after myself and i can look after my country. we'll see how he manages to hang on to power if he does in the next few days.

>> what are meme saying to you about -- those who are voting. why are they voting? what do they want to see come out of this election? >> it's complicated. burundi is a very complicated country with lots of layers. some are genuine supporters of the president, and they love him. some are saying listen i live in a small neighborhood. i don't vote. if people don't see the ink on my finger i could be victimized for not voting. but the average person who is struggling they want jobs they want to go back to work they want to move on with their lives. >> haru thank you. thousands of burundians have fled across the border to rwanda. catherine soi is there. >> reporter: we have not seen as many coming as we did in april,

may, and june and we have talked to some aid workers who are hearing that there are many check points along the way that perhaps people are now being prevented from crossing into rwanda. some of those we talked to here say they escaped intimidation in burundi. the ruling party youth wing members that have been accused of killings and harassing people. there are a little more more than 30,000 refugees in this camp which was set up in april specifically for the refugees. there are about 34,000 in the city, and [ inaudible ] or so in the transit camp at the border. these people want to return home, but many say a polarizing election will not guarantee their safety should they go back. african union force commanders in somali are not responding to allegations of a

mass shooting. people say 24 people were killed when troops opened fire without provocation. young men playing football were shot. other people were killed when the troops are said to have broken into nearby homes and dragged people out. al jazeera has been unable to get a response to those allegations. video has emerged of monday's bomb blast in southern turkey. the pictures appear to show a suicide attacker detonating a device in the mostly kurdish town. the turkish prime minister says a suspect is under investigation. funerals have been held for some of the victims. 32 were killed and nearly 100 injured in the explosion. let's go straight to mohammed jamjoom who is at the scene of the blast. i know you spent most of the day there today. how are people there coming to

terms with what happened? >> reporter: yeah shiulie, most of the population we have observed, they are clearly traumatized. they are not just grief ridden. they are also very angry. they are angry because they feel that the turkish government hasn't done enough to protect the kurdish population here in this part of turkey along the border with syria, this very long porous border with siria, and many are worried this kind of attack will happen again. even though nobody has claimed responsibility for this crime, here it is widely assumed, especially by turkish government officials as well as many in the kurdish population many believe firmly that isil is behind this and they believe that isil will continue to try to target other areas inside of turkey in the months to come. now inside the community center

that got attacked just behind me here, people have been leaving children's toys. why children's toys? because this activist youth group that was going to try to go into kobani syria to rebuild there, they were going to take amongst other things toys for children. they were trying to rebuild, not just hospitals and medical facilities, but also the hopes of children who have been so devastated these past few months. shiulie? >> we're hearing that the turkish government says it thinks it knows who may have carried out this bombing. what are you hearing about the investigation? >> reporter: the prime said earlier today that they have identified one of the suspects involved in the attack. but they gave no further details. what they have said is that they are continuing to investigate, trying to see the links between this person they have

identified, and any militant groups that they may be a part of,est spifficly isil. the turkish government said they are raising the security alert level here and in other parts of turkey. and one of the more interesting things we have heard today, we have heard from a lot of the members of the pro-kurdish political party they were saying that they may put up check points here tomorrow because they are concerned that there could be further infiltration, and they want to protect the community. but the turkish go also saying they are going to take any measure necessary to protect anybody who lives inside of turkey's border. shiulie? >> mohammed thanks for that. an internet video is said to show the damage caused by syrian government air strikes. at least 26 people were reportedly killed in a town near

aleppo that is controlled by isil fighters but it's not clear who died in the strike. a group linked to isil has claimed responsibility for an attack on a mosque in yemen's capitol sana'a. it happened in an area close to a houthi rebel leaders home. seven people were killed. also in sana'a six houthis were killed in a shooting at a check point, and five others are dead after a car bomb exploded at a police station in south yemen, many have died. the rebels and their allies attacked a neighborhood on sunday. also in aden a united nations ship has arrived at the port to deliver much-needed aid. it's the first to dock since the war began four months ago. it is carrying 3,000 tons of relief supplies enough to last

for a month. but the world food program says it can't fill the gap. local fighters and forces loyal to the government in exile seized the airport from houthi rebels last week. let's speak to mohammed hatty, who joins me via skype. good to have you with us. that was great news from yemen. some food supplies have finally arrived in aden. give us an idea of how difficult it was to get that ship into port given that aden is constantly being shelled. >> thank you. it was difficult to get the vessel to aden. it has been waiting outside aden for more than two weeks now, waiting for the right moment to come in and now this morning we felt that the conditions are suitable for that vessel to

berth. it is carrying about 3,000 tons of food. but i would like to highlight here that also on -- on 14th of july, we managed to get food for about 27,000 people for other parts of the country, into aden but as i say, we're happy to see that is also happening in aden. >> good news as we said. however, the situation is dire isn't it? more than 40 million people are said to be food insecure that means they cannot survive without help from agencies like yours. >> that's correct. the situation is very dire. the situation is very difficult on the ground. we're having access issues. we're appealing to all sides of the conflict to give us access to reach people wherever they

are in yemen. yemen has been -- there were many many people suffering from food needs from an ability to secure their food needs even before any crisis so you can imagine how the situation is after the crisis now. it's -- it's really a catastrophic situation for the people there. >> is it the case that you are simply unable to reach some people in some areas. because you have not only got the fighting going on between the houthis and the yemeni forces you have isil in some cases, al-qaeda fighters in some cases, as well as the air strikes going on. it must be the case that some people simply aren't seeing any help. >> well, of course people in areas where fighting is ongoing, regardless between whom and whom to us is the same. we're not concerned with the fighting or the politics we're concerned with the humanitarian situation and we're meeting with the suffering of the people

there. so if it's fighting between one policy or the other, at the end of the day, we're concerned also about the women and children who are stranded in those areas and have not been able to secure food for -- for themselves. this is what counts at the end of the day. how many people will eat. our aim and target to make sure that nobody goes hungry in yemen, of course suspecting the humanitarian principles. we have an agenda and a mandate to reach people based on needs and pure needs. >> well we certainly wish you luck in your ongoing efforts. thank you very much indeed for speaking to us. >> thank you very much. five people have been killed during u.s.-lead air strikes in fallujah. to the east locals are still reeling from the aftereffects of the largest attack in their

neighborhood. imran khan met people living in the area who say they have been left to fend for themselves. >> reporter: this is are where the bomb went off on friday during the eid religious festival. the islamic state of iraq and the levant quickly claimed responsibility for the explosion. mobs of angry young men in this predominantly shia muslim town have been out on the streets since the attack protesting what happened. >> translator: no one cares what happens here. our government haven't even visited here. even president obama has sent condolences. no one cares. >> reporter: their anger isn't likely to go away any time soon. they blame the sunni muslims for letting the fighters in. the people here have lost all faith in the government to defend them. they say the only people that can protect them from attacks like these are the shia

militias. they say they are the only ones that have the power to be able to take revenge, and that's what they want. revenge against the people who perpetrated this attack. the local mayor is a man under pressure as a representative of the government anger is directed towards him. he is lying low and increased his own security. >> translator: we need more of everything to protect ourselves, more bomb-detecting equipment, more cameras, more local police and soldiers who know the area and can protect us against isil. >> reporter: members of large shia militia groups have visited the town one of them warned they will get revenge for this attack. for isil it's a big propaganda victory, which demonstrates that they can attack at will. and that has residents scared and angry. still to come on this news hour, top aid of china's former

vehicle driven by his son. his son was killed. he was with two women in the vehicle, one later died from her injuries. that was the beginning of the downfall. and again it's these pattern we have seen with the officials going through these corruption charges. first they are sidelined in their political career. the trial slowly starts to build against these individuals, and then what happens is what we saw today, that he is kicked out of the party and these charges are brought up against him. what is going to be interesting in the coming months to see how high profile this case will be. because it falls into the current president's campaign against corruption. this is something he said from the beginning that he wants to make it a top priority for his presidency. so it will be interesting to see how quickly as they can get these charges together. a new poll suggests three quarters of the united states approves of the restoration of

guantanamo bay back. it has been a u.s. military base for more than a hundred years now. from washington rosiland jordan reports. >> reporter: guantanamo, a place that has become a symbol of human rights abuses. for 13 years, the u.s. naval base in cuba has held up to 780 detainees, prisoners of the so-called global war on terror. but guantanamo is also the u.s.'s only permanent overseas base in the americas. sailors and marines stationed here also respond to natural disasters. havana wants the land back. but the obama administration opposed the idea. >> no anticipation and no plan with respect to the guantanamo bay naval station in -- in -- in cuba. >> reporter: the u.s. has troops deployed all around the world, but there is only one country

where troops are deployed against the wishes of the host government, cuba. the americans have controlled 45 square miles of land on the southeastern end since 1903 a gain from the spanish american war. the u.s. started paying rent. currently about $4,000 a year. but in the 1960s, fidel castro stopped cashing the checks and called on the americans to leave. it looks like any other base, a department store a recreation program, and other amenities for the troops and their families but on the far southeastern side stand at least three prisons which holds the men captured after the 9/11 attacks. the u.s. needs to resolve these future of these prisoners before anything can happen with the

base. >> there are a lot of hurdles to getting this done but i think it should be considered. i think that the united nations has an historical debt it owes cuba on this front. clearly the terms of the initial agreement were unfair unbalanced at a different time in history, and i think it will factor into the normalization process, it's just not a front burner issue, it's a back burner issue. >> reporter: normalization will take time. and it's fair to assume the u.s. will try to hold on to guantanamo. but it may come down to what the cubans will ultimately accept. still to come here on al jazeera, as liberia discharges the last of its ebola patients we talk to children who lost their parents in the outbreak. plus a pioneering new medical technique, 3-d printers are making replicas of body

really created a negative image, but what really changed was the new strategy of the iranian regime to deny the holocaust. when you put those two together and the fact that iran in the past did not live up to its commitments when it secretly had two enrichment centers, that has generally created a very negative image of the iranian regime here a regime which nobody believes. it is paranoia in the state of israel? i think people have a right not trust such a regime but the prime minister is really playing politics with this issue, and really exploiting it. for years he said that iran was a [ inaudible ] regime which it isn't. and now he is saying that iran is going to make a nuclear weapon, by the major of the experts around the world and some in israel belong to be wrong. investigators are asking for
