we understand that vladimir putin spoke to egypt's president. what do we know about that conversation about what was said. >> the russian government and the presidency has been quick to move on the tragedy. there has been a number of different actions they have taken throughout the day, a recent one was a conversation between vladimir putin, the president of russia, and the president of egypt. >> these two men have a good working relationship. they want to make sure they see eye to eye. abdul fatah al-sisi said to vladimir putin that as much time and space and resources would be allowed for the russian investigators who are heading to egypt. as much time as they needed to do the job that they have to do to find out what caused the

crash. we've heard from the russian prime minister, dmitri medvedev, who said that this was a tragedy. the crew on board the flight could be offered compensation. the families of the crew on board would be offered compensation for their loss. >> reports are that one of the black boxes have been found. what do we know about the search and rescue operations in the sinai. the russians quibbled about how many of these black boxes have been found. they were believing of the reports that they have been. what they said was when they turn up. they want them deferred.

russian capital moscow israeli forces shot dead a palestinian teenager. he was said to have carried out a stabbing attack in jenin. five other palestinian teenagers killed have been buried in hebr hebron. the bodies were handed over friday after intervention from president mahmoud abbas. the israeli decided to retain the bodies of palestinians killed by israelis. there has been clashes in hebron. men have been throwing rocks to israeli forces, who are

there are a lot of palestinian families waiting for the bodies of their loved ones. israelis holding the bodies of 2 dozen palestinians killed in the violence. around half of those come from hebron. it is clear that there's a lot of anger and resentment in the city. likely to fume clashes. >> turkey's political parties are holding rallies ahead of general elections. five months ago the prime minister claimed electoral victory. the vote was hardly a success for the party. it's unlikely to claim a majority. >> live to istanbul. what has been the final pitch from leaders today? >> i'm having difficulty hearing

you. let me tell you what is hang here, the election commission declaring the vote is over. and turkey entered an election. as mentioned earlier. i think i heard you saying that all polls indicated that there could be a coalition government. so no one party will be able to win enough votes. if that happens, that's the end of the a.k. party dominance over the government, forming the government since coming into power in 2002. i've been out in the streets. we talk to people. they are a bit worried and nervous. they are not sure what will happen. they have bad experiences. it led to political in stability and economic crisis in this

country. so the idea of a coalition government is worrying a few people. we have to wait and see if there are more than 54 million voters. and turkey will be one. biggest numbers of voters showing up in elections in this country. we have seen a number of high profile attacks in turkey. how much of an issue with security in this election? >> the attacks that took place in ankara shook the nation. turks are not used to the

violence. security is tight 30,000 police many secure stations listen to this. more than 380,000 security forces will be deployed across turkey to secure the polls. it's a secure number. it's a worry for the government. the public prosecutor, based in the capital dared the attention of i.s.i.l. was to derail or the government blaming them for that attack. >> thank you very much. there is more to come for you on al jazeera this half hour. life after ebola. we meet a survivor in sierra leone finding the battle to recover is not over yet. >> and now a wall to separate black and whites in a u.s. city has been turned into a symbol of
