victims. >> reporter: you can see it in their faces. you can hear it in their sighs. with each passing hour sadness deepens. with every passing day resentment grows. >> translation: in the heart of the capital, ankara, explosions occur, it races questions. >> reporter: since the attacks near the main train station on saturday, two of this man's nieces are missing. one was mother to three children. and the woman on the right was the mother of two. >> in a painful wait to locate the bodies, they are angry and sad. >> translation: how can anyone say there's no security situation, how did they bring the bombs here, how did they enter the square and detonate the bombs. >> as questions pile up,

satisfactory answers are yet to be found. the tents were set up after the attack to accommodate families of the victim. most people here are kurdish, zonating d.n.a. -- donate ing d.n.a. to identify bodies of loved one. >> reporter: this woman was working the fields in her village when she heard the news. >> translation: my daughter came for a peace rally. did she have a gun in her hand, no. she came for peace. >> reporter: like other kurds, she accused the government treating her as a second-class citizens. >> i've been here for 3.5 days, and i have no information. is my daughter dead or alive? if she is dead, show me her flesh and blood.

no one is helping. >> reporter: at a time of tension, more of the population feels aggrieved and targeted. >> we lived together for 1,000 years. we are pro-peace, we are dying for it and living for it. in death we ask for peace, and peace only. >> reporter: that so many were killed in a rally where they were demanding peace makes it hurt more. with trauma this severe, these wounds will be hard to heal the syrian army says it is regaining territory thanks to russian air strikes. russian jets joined syrian government forces in multiple attacks over the weekend. the u.s. dropped small arms' ammunitions to anti-i.s.i.l. fighters and kurdish forces are teaming up with arabs.

hoda abdel-hamid reports from beirut. >> syria's kurds have been the most effective fighting force on the ground, with the help of coalition air strikes much of the borders along turkey are under their control. they have been fighting along side some arab groups and a syrian christian group. they call themselves the democratic forces of syria. >> after the intervention of russian factors, and air strikes in syria, so now, the situation is changing very quickly. so this forces made up this kind of - the group on the ground. >> reporter: the new group says the role will be to fight i.s.i.l. and push for a demographic syria, becoming syria's new army, leaders say they have the backing of the u.s. and russia. >> the announcement was made days after the u.s. said it was

abandoning plans to train some of the rebel forces, providing weapons to commanders that are vetted. they have worked with the brigade that are part of the democrat isk forces of syria. >> reporter: russia has not shied away from saying it is targetting rebel groups. among them are conservative braying aids and others not part of the alliance or supported by the u.s. russia says it's ready to cooperate with the u.s.-led coalition. >> we are interested in coordinating with the coalition of the united states and including gulf country groups and servicemen working in syria, it's not about the elaboration of excluding unintended incidents, but about actions democratic forces of syria is not under new forces. it's an existing one, that has a

kurdish and arab faith the u.n. is calling on washington and moscow to work together to solve the syrian crisis before heading to russia u.n. special envoy said that russian military intervention in syria introduced new dynamics into the situation, and he discussed the possibility that the conflict could force syria to be partitioned. the crisis is racing the spectre of a cold war. john terrett has that story for us. >> the u.n. is concerned about that. taking off for the region. here in washington. president obama pushed back on the notion that there is a proxy war taking back between the united states and russia, the problem is vladimir putin's own jets are bombing c.i.a. trained rebels on the ground in syria, and that plays intoed narrative.

>> reporter: u.s. made b g.m. missiles seeking out targets of forces loyal to bashar al-assad, free syrian army call them bashar al-assad tamers, as they drive rebels gains in the north-west. posted online, it purports to show weapons smashing into russian made tanks on the ground in syria. it's beginning to feel like a cold war era proxy war, two great powers facing off, without facing each other in combat. >> vladimir putin began a proxy war with the united states. when russian aircraft struck, moderate forces trained by the central intelligence agency. this was no accident. targets were provided by the syrian regime, they were accurate. >> reporter: retired army general making his point to congress. not everyone agrees. >> weapons, quite frankly, may

have impact in the near term, but in terms of being the basis of a proxy war between russia and the united states, i believe that pretty far overthrown. >> these so-called bashar al-assad tamers are reported to have been delivered to opposition forces as part of a 2-year covert operation to stablilize. president obama told 60 minutes that plans to train opposition fighters at $500 million fell short. >> this is why i've been skeptical from the get-go of the notion that we would effectively create a proxy army inside of syria. >> my goal has been to try to test the proposition, can we be able to train and equip a moderate opposition willing to fight i.s.i.l.

what we have learnt is as long as bashar al-assad remains in power, it's difficult to get those focus to focus their attention on i.s.i.l. vladimir putin says his operation in syria is limited and designed to curb terrorism in syria. >> our task is to stablilize the legal government and create the right conditions for raxing a compromise -- reaching a compromise. some say because there are proxy wars between russia and the u.s. this is a new one, and with it the fear of the russian bear stirring once more. >> clearly the russians are acting in accordance with security interests. they are not interested in defeating the islamic state, they are interested in keeping bashar al-assad in power so they can maintain access to the warm water port in the mediterranean and if the u.n. is worried about that, so, too, the european union, it being called

a game changer that russia is involved. she said that on her way into a meeting in luxembourg thank you. israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu accused arab leaders of helping insight unrest after a day of violence in israel and the west bank. israeli palestinians called for a general strike and protests tomorrow. new confrontations broke out at a refugee camp hours after the funeral of a palestinian teenager shot the day before. 27 palestinians were killed and four israelis in a 2-week period. andrew simmonds reports. >> reporter: this is the ugly reality of what is happening here. a young palestinian in agony, shot by police who say he'd been part of a random stabbing attack on two young israelis. in the background a crowd going on police, one man shouting

shoot him in the head. >> the teenager is in hospital with serious injuries, along with two victims. police say they shot dead the accomplice, another palestinian teenager. this is one of a trail of knife attacks and police shootings, monday is one of the darkest days in occupied east jerusalem since the crisis began. it started with a 17-year-old shot dead. police say he tried to stab a border policeman. later, another 17-year-old, a schoolgirl is shot and injured. police say she stabbed an officer. israel's prime minister called it knife terror when he addressed the knesset back from summer recess. he said tougher measure including minimum gaol innocences for stone -- gale sentences for stone throwers will occur. >> we are taking responsibility

on hour, destroying terrorists houses. we are wiping out the people against us. and the islamic movement. we are fighting against the molotov cocktails and the stones, taking revenge for the people killed. i expect the support of the opposition party in these action, and also in establishing the law against this wave of terror. israel's opposition, while agreeing tough action is needed, accused binyamin netanyahu of failing to take control. the politicians debated their next moves, came another attack. this time a palestinian stabbed and wounded a soldiers on a bus in west jerusalem. according to the police, he tried to get the soldiers's gun. the bus stopped. police boarded it, opening fire and killing the palestinians. there's a deep sense that pervades streets. that's not about suicide attackers or car bombs, it could

be anybody, like a grudge, short notice, pulling a knife. crude violence. there's another fore, one as deep set. as thee attacks continue, questions over tougher measures that police are using. palestinians believe the police are using summary justice before considering alternatives. no one is sure how or when this cycle of violence will end changing washington - that's the goal of the no labels organization, which brought together a variety of presidential candidates in new hampshire today. next.

"the washington post" and his family plan to appeal a no labels convention was attended. al jazeera's jonathan betz went there with 1500 undecided voters to see how contenders fared. >> reporter: it's called speed dating with presidential hopefuls. one by one they are in front of a highly sought after crowd. 1,000 undecided voters, including ron, who drove in from upstate new york. >> these are the people on television, why would you want to be here in person? >> it's my responsibility as a citizen to make my voice heard, and not be in the audience, i want to be here to make things happen, and let the candidates know that people are watching. >> eight presidential candidates, three democrats,

five republicans, most fielding questions from the audience. >> within the first 100 days of office, which bipartisan restaurant would you take john boehner to, or, you know, whoever? >> i didn't know that restaurants from partisan, i thought food and alcohol, decidedly, was nonpartisans. >> reporter: the group was formed by no labels, encouraging politicians to work together. bernie sanders and donald trump spoke to the same group. >> let's treat each other civilly and respectfully and not try to demonize people who may have disagreements. >> sanders didn't take questions from the crowd. trump did. not facing his typical republican base. >> maybe you can prove me wrong, but i don't think you are friend to women. [ cheering ] . >> i respect women, i love

women, i cherish women. >> the republican front runner was the only one to hear cheers and boos. >> a lot of people feel that way. >> what do you think of the room? >> it was great. >> questions inappropriate, too tough. >> the questions were fine, that's who we all are. some agree, some don't. i thought the response was great. thank you. >> organizers say they are bringing opposites together, hoping to find a middle ground. >> we are as angry as anyone else in america about how our government in washington is not fixing america's problems. >> reporter: like many, ron tobias remained angry. after sitting for hours and hearing dozens of speeches, he leaves new hampshire as he arrives - undecided. >> the democrats first debate of the 2016 presidential campaign is not until tomorrow. hillary clinton is trading barbs

in las vegas. the democratic front runner made an appearance outside the trump international hotel, denouncing the frontrunners label practice, in particular the no union policy. clinton told the crowd to say no to donald trump al jazeera's political correspondent michael shure is in the heart of las vegas. we see plenty of debating, this is the first time we see the democrats on stage, who has the most to win and the most to lose? >> well, i mean, the easy answer is that hillary clinton has the most to gain and lose. in a weird way bernie sanders may have the most to lose. this is the first chance that people who do not like hillary clinton have to see other candidates, candidates like senator jim web. you have a former senator and governor, and on stage you have former governor of maryland, martin o'mallee, it's a way to

sell them. the vote is going to bernie sanders, has a chance to be split up. in a strange way bernie sanders has something to lose tomorrow. >> no biden on the stage unless there's a last appearance, which many democrats, i think, wants. >> what do you expect the key issues will be that the candidates will focus on tomorrow. >> well, you made mention. fact that unions were in play. ironically across the street from where the debate will be is the trump international hotel, and that's where the protest was, unions are a big part of the democratic voting block in nevada. you'll see a little about unions, you'll hear them talk about immigration. opponents will talk to hillary clinton about benghazi, and emails. their roles are a little different. some want to some out and say who they are. a lot of these voters, and a lot of the people watching tomorrow night have no idea who martin

o'mallee, jim web and winfried schafer are. the question is how hard will they go after hilary. the issues will be drowned out. certainly by a little of the politics and introductory politics. they'll be played by other candidates. >> is there expectation that the three other candidates, other than clinton and sanders could break out or are they so far behind that there's a little chance of that? >> well you are in las vegas, where people bet on long shots all the time. i'd say, no, at this point they are so low, martin o'mallee and jim webb tied at 2%, and shavy at 0 per cent. a lot of that has to do with the fact that there's no name recognition, and there's a presumption that clinton will be the nominee, that's a presumption that bernie sanders has been challenging. it's an uphill climb, and you

talked about the aura of joe biden hanging over the debate, every conversation about the democratic candidates. whether he or won't he? probably we'll hear that in the next few days, and he is the elephant in the room here. >> it will be an interesting night, michael shure in las vegas. tomorrow we'll bring special coverage of the democratic debate. join us for a look at the candidates and issues. at 11:00am an hour coverage of the debate. who got it right, who got it wrong and what voters are saying next - mandatory life in prison without parole. the supreme court ruled juveniles can't automatically get that punishment. what about those sentenced as juveniles before the ruling came down?

south carolina is moving from emergency to recovery in dealing with the flooding. that's the word from south carolina governor nicky hailey. assessment teams will fan out across the state to determine the damage that the floods caused. the city council in flinton michigan has used $2 million to reconnect to detroit's water systematic. the flints stopped using water, drawing it from the flint river. the corrosive water from the river was leaching led from homes. >> residents combined the water smelt, looked and tested bad. >> students returned to classes in oregon, two weeks after the

massacre there. nine were killed, and nine were injured when a gunman opened fire. state troopers were on hand patrolling the campus. the shooting where the shootings took place was closed for the time being. >> two years ago the supreme court ruled that no one under the age of 18 could be sentenced to mandatory life in prison without parole. tomorrow the court will decide if that ruling would apply to those sentenced to life as juveniles before 2012. jonathan martin reports from new orleans. >> reporter: more than 1,000 u.s. prisoners convicted of murder as juveniles are serving mandatory life sentences without parole. in 2012 the supreme court ruled states can no longer automatically sentence someone under 18 to life without parole. factors like maturity, social development must be considered.

the high court is said to revisit the issue and determine whether the ruling three years ago should be applied retroactively, giving juvenile sentence prior to 2012 a chance. >> it's about a level playing field, ensuring rulings, sentences are unconstitutional, are applied across the board. >> the court will here montgomery v louisiana. in 196 3, at 17, he killed a sheriff's deputy and was given a life sentence. marshall says it makes sense that the landmark decision in 2012 be applied retroactively. in the case involving a 14-year-old, the court found life without parole for minors could constitute cruel and unusual punishment. >> if the sentence was unconstitutional in 2012.

it would be unconstitutional in 1964. some are plying the law. others are not. seeing the supreme court decision as a mandate moving forward. not in the past. >> the supreme court needs to recognise that it needs to solve that. >> joshua perry hopes that the review will prompt states to rethink whether life without parole is over okay to juveniles. my hope is that they'll see the light on the issue. to send 15-year-olds for the rest of their lives. >> the outcome could have an impact on 300 other louisiana inmates, serving life without parole sentences for crimes committed as minors zimbabwe says it will not file charges against the american dentist that shot and killed cecil the lion.

walter palmer had obtained the proper permits. palmer said he relied on guides and had no idea it was one of zimbabwe's treasured animals. i'm antonio mora, thank you for joining us. for news of any time head over to aljazeera.com. luis suarez is up next with "inside story". goodnight. >> this past weekend just as they did 20 years ago, black men throngd washington to talk about the times they live in. when they assess today's problems what can black men say about the last 20 years? from the million man march to justice, a mixed score, it's the "inside story."
