situation remains before november's snap parliamentary elections. there are still investigators, forensic investigators on the scene searching for evidence. in fact all around the train station you can still see the remnants of the tragic blast. here are peace signs next to blood signs on the road. >> i am sure i will never forget. if i live, actually it was -- it was like hell. the first of november. there is a big election in turkey. and you want them to stop and to decrease the tension of turkey. >> reporter: for now though, even mid the heightened security and the empty streets, it is the shock of all. mohammed jamjoom, al jazeera, turkey. >> this is called the deadliest

attack ever to hit turkey. who is likely to be behind it and why? >> the investigation is still going on, so we don't have clear answers yet. i think it's better not to speculate and to wait for security forces to find some answers. there seems to have been a major security weaknesses but we may never know who really were behind these attacks yesterday. but what needs to be expressed here is who has political responsibility. and ans i it is clear that the government has primary responsibility for first, failing to protect the right to live of all its citizens, as it should. indiscriminately. and second, for failing to -- for contributing to an

atmosphere of polarization and oppression, and lawlessness. in fact, the justice party, the government and president erdogan regularly conduct rallies that are of much bigger scale than one yesterday in ankara. but nothing has -- >> so the political fallout as you say is important here, i mean, turkey has elections in just over two weeks' time. how is this likely then oplay out politically for the government and also the opposition parties? >> well, here, what i need to -- i try to stress here is this is not just a security issue but the security forces when there is sufficient political reality behind them are capable of doing their job. i think this is what comes out from the recent past.

so what we need after the crucial elections in november 1st, is hopefully, we will have a government that can weed out discrimination, represent the major -- overwhelming majority of the society, and bring together different political actors and different voices in society and restore an atmosphere of trust, peace, dialogue and cooperation. the elections, the violence has unfortunately erupted again when the ruling party could not gain majorities in the last june 7th elections. in my opinion it was perfectly possible after those elections, to form a broad-based government that could -- that could bring different political parties together, different political -- >> i'm afraid we have to leave

inside the car, they confirmed she detonated it, and before she did so, she claimed, allah akbar, god be praised. >> thank you for update niek. mike. earlier a pregnant woman and her four-year-old daughter have been killed in gaza. another day of violence. victoria gatenby reports. >> the home of noor hasan which was said to be five months pregnant was found, elsewhere in gaza hundreds of people came out on saturday night to protest. two palestinian boys, 15-year-old and 13-year-old,

>> welcome back, a recap of the top stories here. a loud explosion has been heard in the afghan capital kabul. suicide bomber targeted a convoy of foreign troops in the city. turkey is observing the first day of mourning for the victims of two suicide bombings in ankara. 95 people killed and almost 215 injured. a pregnant woman and her four-year-old daughter have been killed in an israeli raid on gaza city. let's get more on our top story. rami kuri, american university of beirut. he joins us from denver, colorado. there seems to be no effort to

deescalate this rising violence across the region. what's behind what many people see currently as this much more aggressive, much more violent response from the israelis? >> well, it's not that much more violent. it's always been very violent and very disproportionate where you'll get some palestinian doing something and then you get f-16 bombers bombing and killing many more people in palestine, curfews and mass incarceration. the fundamental problem is this occupation and colonization by israel of palestine has gone on so long and there is no ends in sight, especially the people of jerusalem, the palestinians are essentially leaderless because the plo doesn't have any contact with them. the palestinian authority of

mahmoud abbas doesn't have contact with them. the palestinians of east 800 numbejerusalem are occupied, clonlizedcolonized, and is al-aa mosque, incidents, settlers, bands of hooligans, lynching mobz thalynchingmobs and indivis who stab an israeli and run them over in a car. this is out of the control of the israeli and palestinian governments. this is one of the dangerous new developments. >> rami, how is this digested by an american public who no longer seem to accept the american

israeli line on things? >> the american broad perception as it is seen in the mainstream news media has like it's been for many, many decades. that the israelis are good guys and the palestinians are terrorists and attacking them and they like violence and et cetera. this terrible terrible stereotypes that are inaccurate, of course, and there isn't much attention given to this. and it's very superficially covered by the american media. without getting down to the root causes of the opposition, israeli opposition since 1967. the encircle much of gaza, the siege of gaza, the limits of people traveling in and out of the west bank and gaza. the fundamental underlying problem which is the israeli occupation of palestinian land and the lack of a serious peace process is no way addressed in a very serious manner and the government just issues

platitudes. kerry called netanyahu and abbas last weekend and said please calm this down. for 20 years they were able to do nothing so this is a serious problem that's going to get more serious until the occupation's ended and israelis and palestinians each live if their own sovereign state. >> rami turi, thank you for speaking to al jazeera. jennifer glasse, what have you been hearing about this explosion? >> darren, it happened just about a half hour ago near the center of the city. the target of foreign convoy, we see pictures of a very large armored vehicle smoking. the interior ministry confirms it was a suicide car bomber. they say there were civilian

cacialghts. casualties. very busy time of the morning. no one has claimed responsibility yet. >> all right, jennifer glasse, in the afghan capital, thank you. more safety talks are planned over the increasingly crowded air space above syria. both sides say they made progress in talks on saturday. the defense ministry says its planes hit 55 i.s.i.l. in the last day. second day of support of president bashar al-assad's government. peter sharp has more from moscow. >> this is the 11th day of russian air strikes, against claimed i.s.i.l. position he. they flew 64 combat sorties and struck at 55 i.s.i.l. targets. this is what the defense

ministry is claiming. as usual they are giving very little detail in the location of the strikes. but they said that they've taken out 29 field camps, two command centers, and ammunition storage. and the kremlin is saying from intercepted radio messages they say i.s.i.l. is running short now crucially short on fuel, arms and ammunition and is reporting that some of its soldiers, its rebels are actually fleeing their positions. and morale is particularly low. now, russia has from the start always insisted that it's only striking i.s.i.l. position he but there are, of course, mounting evidence on the ground in syria that most of these striectthesestrikes have been ae anti-assad position. targets for russian air

strikes, as al jazeera's zeina khodr reports. >> plans to advance into the northern country side of homs. what is known as the rasan plains have long been a stronghold of the rebels. it is surrounded by government bases and opposition fighters say the army has been reinforcing its positions. antiaircraft positions have done little from stopping russian military jets from targeting this region. since the first day the homs country side has been hit almost on a daily basis. rebel commanders are worried because they say they don't have the weapons needed to fight this battle. >> we are prepared for a fight and our morale is high. we don't have enough ammunition, we don't have tow's, concourse, milan, we don't have that there.

>> the only way out is to pass through army checkpoints making it hard for rebel groups to get the ammunition they need. many groups with different ideologies still fight in this area. like el nusra front. they say the threat required they put their defenses aside. >> we have created a joint operations room, we have united our forces. all of the groups have come together to unite against the oncoming forces. >> since 300,000 live in the northern homs country side, they say conditions are bad because of the difficulties in bringing in food and much-needed supplies. >> translator: it's a desperate situation, people cannot afford the high prices. the regime controls the roads in and out of this region so they can control the prices.

>> reporter: the rastan plain is an important route. battle further north secure a corridor between its strongholds on the course and damascus. it is important not to lose its last remaining stronghold in the country. zeina khodr, al jazeera, beirut. >> prison riot in peru. authorities say, the disturbance broke out in pixis. the violence quickly spread to the prison's rooftop. after they tried ostorm the prison. tens of thousands of people have protested in the german capital against a planned transatlantic free trade deal.

bad news for europeans. jonah hull reports from berlin. >> it may sound a bit dull but if you live in europe or the united states, you ought to know about the transatlantic trade and investment partnership. it is an agreement being negotiatebehind closed doors, that aims to harmonize trade rules and standards. thousands are out on the street because they think it is a bad idea. they're wary of what one campaigner called an all out assault of european companies by transnational exeant. >> ttip as it's known will create the world's largest free trade zone. a market of 800 million people that could add $100 billion a year to economic output open both sides of the atlantic. in practice, it could affect everything from jobs to your income, health care, to the food you eat.

and there are many critics. >> translator: i'm not sure if it will happen all that quickly but my urgent advice to everybody who wants rules to globalization is you can't be nervous when it comes to negotiating with the motherland of negotiation. as a european you must consciously engage in this issue. >> we fear that the social standards, especially the standards for workers, will decrease. >> we're like how it's undermining our democracy and giving more power to big companies. >> you don't believe what the government tells you? is the government tells you anything? >> they don't tell us anything. it's looking really bad. >> all that will be achieved is mediocrity. on this side of the atlantic eroding stronger laws on food safety and the environment, while on the other side

weakening traditionally stiffer financial organizations in the u.s. the winners, they say, big business and the banks. and that's not all. controversially, say campaigners ttip is being negotiated in secret. a trojan horse being driven into the heart of our economy and our lives. no one knows what's inside. jonah hull, al jazeera, berlin. harari international street carnival is aimed at promoting tourism and cultural exchange. haru mutasa is there. >> welcome to the harari international street carnival. to show dma zimbabwe.

people from all over the world, this particular group is from india, they show zimbabwens how they do things. they're from sowrveg. south africa. >> we need people to be happy. we need people you know to forget about the problems we are facing as a country. >> reporter: some people are getting a little bit out of hand. as you can see the riot police trying to keep them back. people are excited. they say they're trying to have fun at the street carnival but some of them are getting out of hand, but on the whole people say they're really happy about this carnival to celebrate something good for a change.

>> finally, the skies of the u.s. state of new mexico were a fiesta of hot air balloons on saturday. it was up up and away for the dozens of brightly colored balloons in the albuquerque national hot air balloon festival in the 43rd year. humanity and we're doing it in a unique way. this is a show about science by scientists. tonight: technkow in search of the great american prarie. >> we're in the prarie state yet ironically, we have such little of it left. >> farming and overdevelopment killed it, now get ready for
