that she was posing no threat, passing through two checkpoints and raising her hands to show she wasn't raising a weapon. it's something that's fuelling a lot of anger in the occupied west bank. there are many families waiting for the bodies of loved ones to be returned. israel is holding the bodies of two dozen palestinians killed this month in the violence. half of those come from hebron. it's clear that there's a lot of anger and resentment in the stay, and it's likely to steel further violence and clashes. politicians in turkey are holding their final campaign rallies before the election, the second in six months. the ruling party failed to win enough seats in june to win a

majority government. turks are polarized. we have this report from the capital ankara. >> election campaign posters are displayed on the streets of turkey so often they may as well be a permanent fixture. these may very well be the post crucial. at the forefront is this man, the country's interim prime minister. after taking over from recep tayyip erdogan as the ag party's leader, he failed to lead the akp to single party. opposition parties, including the pro-kurdish h.c.p. and nationalist m.h.p. refused to join a coalition government, resulting in a hung parliament and early elections called. the political instability became worse after a bomb attack by i.s.i.s. killed the activists.

it was the spark that unleashed the attack. with the government responding. striking targets. in less than a month before polling day. more than 100 were killed by twin bombings. that called for a resumption of talks between the government and the p.k.k. it seems the akp and the leadership learnt lessons. there's a clear attempt to reconnect with people on the ground. i am sure this time our people will work for the continuation of political study, and it could be achieved by the abbing party. and therefore i'm confident that we'll have a one party government. you talk about political stability, one of the things

that brought about instability. some accuse the ag party of doing this deliberately after it succeeded in the piece process. it's a political process, until 20th of july. when d.a.e.s.h. killed 32 students, same day p.k.k. killed one, and after two days. they killed two police men. this was end of the - not the process itself, but not to have conflict. wouldn't you have a peace process. >> we didn't have a solution process. the a.k. party. last june the mood was shock and

a promise to support us to win back the trust of the people and returning to single party government. >> this time around they are hoping to addressing a crowd. >> we are joined live from istanbul, it's a matter of hours before the voting starts. what's the mood there. >> well, people are a bit nervous and they are worried, because the election is crucial for the future of turkey, also for the future of the political landscape in this country. the high election commission has announced all preparation are are in place, and campaigning is over, and turkey has entered the elections, now, the numbers of the registered people in turkey are expected to vote. around 54 million.

polls indicate that 85% of them show up. turkey is known to be a high voter turn out in the world. >> on the streets are observe nous because they are not sure what will happen, will they secure a majority to form a government on its own. those questions are making it nervous. the polls show it's split. if a majority does not emerge after this, what are the options. >> i think all the political parties, despite the differences. no one factor historically. some analysts suggest that none of the coalition governments manage to have a viable and

working government. and, therefore, leading to the political instability and economic crisis, i think the political elite realized they need to be mature enough to put aside the differences to form a coalition government. here is the tricky part. who will be accepting, and who will be able to bring the other abroad. we know all the political parties have different ideological goals, beliefs and bringing them together. it's a tough matter here. that political parties need to come together and form a coalition government for a short period of time, one year, two years. to avoid the election. >> thank you so much. still to come on the show. mine par's first contested vote. the latest in the lead up to the election. we'll be in india to meet the

to the proxy war. my client is a retired army general and says it will be a dangerous mission for the u.s. special forces. >> the thing i'm concerned about is the tail rubbishatio to keep south for the united states. syria is an austere place when it comes to supports soldiers, not a lot of resources. this is a dangerous mission. the united states would say the strategy has not changed. it's adding more resources on the ground. if we said we'd been success. and we were adding more to it. we have to be careful about how we are participating the battlefield. it's possible they could be bombing the commissions, that are fighting i.s.i.l.

as it should. >> one of the things that we want to do is get the aircraft to the nearest airfield. and that needed to be done with the assistance of air traffic controllers. it looks as if in this case, if the reports are true, the flight crew identified. the reforms we had don't tell us the nature of the mechanical issues. it's difficult to identify whether it was related to the structure of the care craft or the engines. it's been 20 years since the assassination of the israeli prime minister. commemoration will be held to remember the man accredited with the oslo accords. this was a momentous occasion, the signing of the osla accords,

of leadership. not because of a request for israeli peace. israelis lost piece. the platform was about linking peace with security, the two had to go hand in hand. peace equalled security. today it's only about security. today we don't hear anything about peace, but what we hear is oh, my god they have a destroyer, is it going to kill us. >> back at the bookshop, he says that narrative is wrong. >> these are the majority. they accept and want to the live with israeli. >> they are giving the president nothing to make the people believe he wants to change anything. >> many start, destroying

houses. many things that if they did, they can give them the power, the tools that goes to the people. you see, by negotiation we can get something. they don't give them ag, opposite. hope erode the. palestinian yang israeli, israeli against palestinian. 20 years after the oslo accords. violence has become the norm here. >> humans rights watch expressed concern that the routes of the african leaders to step down is undermining democracy. they are deciding whether leaders can deliver change. there was an overwhelming yes vote to let the president run for a third term. opposition parties are challenging this.

actually kicked out by a decree from the locals. you cannot change what the president wants to do. almost all the m.p.s voted that they can go for a check. in the same way that in ongo, they voted that he can remain, the political landscape is heavily tilted on behalf of the ruling encum wand. it's difficult for -- incumbent. it's difficult to do anything about it. >> sierra leone may be declared ebola free in less than a month. almost 4,000 have died. for those that fived. it's not over. we have more from the capital free town.

badly. in scripping through, it's like they had a second life. now, against new zealand. they don't have as much to loss. they can go out with pocock and hooper, and they can cause problems. the only thing that flips it in new zealand's failure, that's well and good australia being big in the matches, but this is a special team. they beat new zealand on the way to the tour. >> this is the eighth rugby world cup, with record sales and

revenue, the tournament will make a 230 million surplus, and there's no doubt that this is a different animal to the event in new zealand and australia. back then 16 teams took part in the event. the 2015 tournament had 20 teams, but there were 96 countries involved in a qualifying campaign. 26,000 fans went to watch in justice and australia. compare that to the 2.4 million. the audience was a not too shabby entire audience. they are trying to calculate the global figure. in england they had a host of 3.2 million. that figure will rise. if you wanted to buy a ticket for the world cup fine. it would have set you back
