. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello there, welcome to the newshour, good to have you with us. here in doha with the top stories. in the next 60 minutes - turks vote in the second parliamentary election in five months amid violence and unrest al-shabab attacks a hotel in somali's capital killing at least 15 people russian and egyptian investigators begin examining
5:01 am
the black boxes from the crashed russian airliner. al jazeera gains rare access to bases in afghanistan where children are recruited to fight for i.s.i.l. so, voters in turkey are at the polls for the second time since june. the general election is a challenge for the a.k. party of recep tayyip erdogan. it failed to win enough seats in the poll and couldn't form a majority government. we have correspondents covering the story. we go to the south-east and to a polling station in istanbul. let's start with you omar, turks are divided. what is the mood there, and what does it mean for the a.k. party? >> well, people are worried that
5:02 am
the mood of the voters that we spoke to here, they are talking about their political stability of turkey is at stake. we know that turkey is polarized - always has been polarized in location, it's not new for the a.k. party. the results, i think, will be crucial to the a.k. party, and i think they'll be watching it closely. if we get a repeat of the june elections, which means the a.k. party lost the majority and the ability to form a government on its own, they have to reach out to their rivals, if you will. chb, the left of c.h.p. the republican people party, the nationalist movement which is the right wing of turkish politics. now, what it also means, if they lost the ability to form a government. i think there'll be internal
5:03 am
changes within the party, because they lost their majority and if they lose again in this election that means they'll have to take drastic steps to change their own politics to win the confidence of voters in this country omar, thank you for that. omar salah in istanbul. security is one of the main issues for voters, let's look at the violence turkey faced in the last poll. july 20th, '34 were killed in a suicide attack, at a gathering of n.g.o.s on a town on the border with syria. september 6th, '16 soldiers were killed in a bomb attack in daglish, on the border with iraq. two days later in the nearby city, an attack on a police minivan left 10 dead. on october the 10th in ankara, the greatest loss of life, 102
5:04 am
died in a double suicide bomb attack targetting a peace rally. hundreds more died in fighting between turkish forces and the turkish armed group, p.k.k. 145 security personnel have been killed. turkish military personnel say 340 p.k.k. fighters have been killed. in total, over 640 people lost their lives in violence across turkey in four months. let's go to bernard smith in south-eastern turkey. so, bernard, how is that security situation effecting the kurdish area and the hopes of the kurdish party, the h.d.p. . >> it's not affected the turn out party. and nominations are that 70% that are eligible have cast their vote. a higher turn out is expected nationally in june, and it was more than 80%. this is a main place where it
5:05 am
went wrong for the akp in june. previously they relied on the party of kurdish groups. they left, and gave the vote to the hkd. there was many reasons, one of them a perception that the akp had abandoned the kurdish peace protest and was not interested in the kurdish peace interests. they threw their support and got the h.d.p. into parliament. since then, if anything, perhaps support for the h.d.p. grew a little bit. the overall results are not expected to change. according to the polls. the h.d.p. may do better. yes, there are kurds that are disappointed with the hdk and
5:06 am
many that have helped stop the violence. many h.d.p. voters are sticking with them. you have seen the a.k. party has not done a lot to try to win back the lost h.d.p. voters, instead, the a.k. party is trying to get the nationalist vote on the right of the political spectrum thank you for that. bernard smith in diab la there al-shabab fighters claim responsibility for attacking a hotel in somali. 15 were killed in federica mogherini. the hotel is popular with politicians and one minister is among the dead. >> reporter: a suicide bomber detonates explosives inside a hotel. outside a car was on fire, packed with explosives and used to blast into the compound. they stormed the hotel itself.
5:07 am
somali soldiers were called in to recapture the hotel. >> it's clear, if you look at the event in the past few months, al-shabab has the capability of organising terrorist attacks. it's unfortunate that they still occur sporadically, over all the government's forces are clearly in the offensive, and have the momentum. >> reporter: this hotel is popular with somali politicians, a current and former member of parliament is among the dead. senior government journalists and official was killed. one mp called the attack a dark day for somali. they operate in somali and neighbouring countries, they claimed responsibility. in april fighters from the group killed 147 people in an attack
5:08 am
on a university college in kenya. in september 2013, al-shabab fighters stormed the westgate shopping mall in nairobi, killing 67 people. somali has been devastated by decades of civil unrest. four years ago somali's government pushed al-shabab out of the city, with the help of african union soldiers. attacks like this showed somali's government and supporters have much more work to do. i'm joined in the studio by a professor in international relations in qatar university. good to have you with us. give us an assessment of the security situation in somali. can somali troops and amason da - african union troops - deal with al-shabab. >> first i have to offer my
5:09 am
condolences to the people that lost their lives. after that, in terms of the capacity of the government, it's obvious that they could not protect the hotel in doesn't federica mogherini. from this attack. these types of attacks. >> we've heard from government sources that they are winning the battle against al-shabab. is that not the case. well when you look at things from their perspective. they have been gaining territories. that has never denied the capacity of al-shabab to fight whenever they want to, and when they want to. this is a big problem. it shows one thing, still, that the security forces are week, and they need to improve their attacks and strategies in dealing with such attacks. that is clear. >> you have a situation where yet again government officials
5:10 am
and m.p.s are the ones targeted. i mean, this must be extremely destabilizing for a government trying to run a country. >> well, for now, particularly when you look at the caliber of people who were killed in this attack, it's obviously a big loss, and particularly the government strategy to contain al-shabab. at least suffering the defeat momentarily. that does not mean that they cannot recover from it. i think the government - there's no by the way, no alternative, no other way to go about it. it's not an alternative. foreign fighters is not an alternative. the only way to go about it is to strengthen and empower the somali government, forcing us to deal with al-shabab and any other moves to destabilize the country. there's another alternative as far as i'm concerned. that said, it was a big failure,
5:11 am
security failure on the part of the government. they have to accept that and do something about it. >> particularly since they are now trying to hammer out a political process, which will take place in 2016. we don't know what form the election will take, but whatever it is, it's going to be crucial for somali's progress. >> over all, there was slow progress in the area of politics and security. in 2012, the expectation was come four years, there'll be a significant progress in these two fronts. unfortunately, that was not the case, there is progress, but very slow progress in both areas. we are not going to the polls to elect the government. there'll be a deal made with them, that is where it's heading. it's an election process. and that could be more legitimate than what they have at the moment. and in terms of security, after
5:12 am
so many years, we are still talking about the heart of federica mogherini, is under attack. again, that shows that of course there was some progress, but the progress is not what anyone would like is to be and it's heart-breaking that you knew some of the people caught up in the attack. we know that al-shabab in july warned civilians to move away from places used by government officials, that suggests we'll see more attacks. >> it's been very strategic since the days of losing it in federica mogherini -- in federica mogherini and two of the people -- mogadishu, and there has been two people from the military killed today. this has ban the case since they left mogadishu, that they left
5:13 am
the place. i think that is the strategy even though for the last while they were combining that strategy of attacking and taking the forces. them and others. what we can expect is similar attacks. >> thank you very much for the analysis there. here in the studio. >> thank you very much investigators from russia and egypt begin to examine the black boxes from the sinai peninsula. russia is observing a day of mourning for the 224 people killed when the metro jet airbus crashed after take off from sharm el sheikh. flowers have been left at the airport where they were due to land. investigators say the pilot didn't send a distress call. >> reporter: what remain of the charter flight was strewn in pieces, coming down near an
5:14 am
egyptian air force. the search and rescue teams needed little time to determine that no one survive the impacts. >> what will determine what happened is the analysis of black box data and expert deductions. up until this point. there's indications that nothing happened. all we can say is that it happened due to technical difficulties and the team of experts are the ones that proved or denied this. >> relatives are desperate for news. >> they told us the landing will be at 11:40. my son, his wife and daughter, their daughter is 10 months old. >> translation: i'm waiting for the person if love. we spoke through the internet yesterday. they were supposed to board the plane. i checked the radar, everything seemed to be fine. around 11:30 i came here.
5:15 am
when i came i couldn't find the flight on the screen. >> reporter: the air bus seen here in russia 11 days ago was operated by metro jet. and was flying over the red see from sharm el sheikh. 20 minutes after takeoff it dropped out of cruising altitude and disappeared from radar. the egyptian and russian authorities say they don't believe the aircraft was targeted, and flew over an area. russia declared a day of mourning on sunday, and a show of solidarity with the victims and with their families. peter is live at st. petersburg airport. and bring us up to date with the late is on the investigation, because it's hoped that those black boxes will provide some answers. >> answers are needed. the three aircraft arrived in
5:16 am
cairo and have gone out to the crash side. the debris field is huge. it's 30 square kilometres, that suggests something dramatic happened to the aircraft, and we know there was no warning from the flight deck. you can draw conclusions from that. 153 bodies have been discovered. they were preparing to remove them and fly them back for here, to petersburg during the night. and they'll be taken to a local mortuary. the cockpit of the plane is in good condition regarding what had happened, and the flight boxes that have been recovered. virtually intact, with little damage. but the fallout from the crash continues. emirate airlines is the latest airline to refuse to fly. not to fly over sinai, they are
5:17 am
joining air france and lufthansa in that decision that was made yesterday. >> russia, of course, a country in mourning, particularly there at st. petersburg, where the plane was due to land. >> that's right. the airport here behind me, there's a steady stream of people bringing in toys, flowers, candles, at a makeshift shrine just outside the arrivals, the arrivals gate. taxi companies in petersburg offering transport from the city center. allowing the people to be expressed. their condolences and grief. later in the day. at the beginning of the evening outside the winter palace, which was a spectacular setting, tens of thousands were expected to gather for a vigil to mark a solemn day of mourning.

welcome back. the top stories on al jazeera. voters in turkey are at the polls for the second time in five months, president recep tayyip erdogan has cast his ballot. the general election was after the a.k. party failed to form a government after the election in june al-shabab attacks a hotel in somali, killing 15, including
5:30 am
mp. two explosions hit a hotel popular with politicians russian and egyptian investigators are about to analyse the black box flight recorders. russia is observing a day of mourning for the 224 passengers and crew from the metro jet's airbus that crashed in sinai. >> returning to the top story in the parliamentary elections in turkey, it's been five months since there was a major shift in the landscape. we take a look at what the parties are hoping to secure in the latest poll > 550, the number of seats up for grabs in the election. the ruling justice and development party, or the a.k. party secured 258 seats in june, 18 short of what it needed to govern alone. to take the majority back, the a.k. party needs 276 seats or
5:31 am
42% of the vote. it's emphasising strength dealing with security and voting for stability. the main opposition, the republican people's party or the c.h.p. is secular, and got a quarter of the vote in june, that's 131 seats, and an increase in the share could enable it to form a coalition government. and with the message of change be an alternative. the nationalist party or m.h.p. sa right wing conservative party, and got 16% of the vote, translating into 79 seats. idea logically it is the natural coalition partner for the a.k. party. and then there's it the pro-kurdish people's democratic party or the h.d.p. it was the big winner in the last election, getting 13% of the vote, or 80 seats, more than enough to cross the difficult 10% thresholds to get into parliament. to do it again, it's trying to
5:32 am
shake off accusations that it's aligned with the p.k.k. more than 54 million turkish citizens are eligible to vote in the election. the question is whether they'll revert back to the a.k. party dominance of the last 13 years. or vote for change joining me in the studios, a senior fellow in turkish studies. good to have you with us. it's not likely, is it, that these elections will see more unity, because the polls are suggesting that turks are divided. >> turkey is polarized and always has been polarized. in recent years polarization has taken a new term, when we talk about the polarization, where most talk about political polarization, not social, the social polarization in country has decreased whereas the
5:33 am
political polarization has increased. it depends on the outcome of the elections, we may see an increase or decrease depending on what will emerge from the election. >> between these elections and the last elections we had a different atmosphere. there has been several attacks. security is an issue for voters. >> since june 7th, we had a big attack before the june 7th election on june 5th. india, the largest city, there has been an effect against the pro-kurdish forces rally. there has been two major attacks as well. one in the border down, one in a close border town killing 34 people and wounding 100, and the second in october 10th in ankara, killing 100 or more. the security is a factor
5:34 am
nevertheless its impact on the change, on on the people's voting behaviour is limited, because they have been consolidated. even before the june 7th elections, therefore it is a significant issue, but it's impacting on the behaviour. >> we saw the h.d.p., the kurdish party, getting into parliament for the first time. do you think it will happen again. >> yes, we'll see the pro-kurdish party in parliament, more or less with the same weight of vote. it's like a minus one. but more or less with the same right of voting. >> quickly, if there is another coalition or need for a coalition government, will the a.k. party deliver one up this time around? >> this time we'll have a government. whether it's coalition or single party, i don't think they can have another set of elections
5:35 am
in, you know, soon. >> good to speak with you. thank you for your analysis there. >> thank you myanmar is the final week of campaigning for the first properly contested election there following 50 years of military rule. opposition leader aung san suy kyi is holding a rally in the largest city yank gone, her party will face the ruling u.s. dp party. if neither win in the lerkz, they are expected to forge alliances and form a government. florence louie is there and has this update. >> there hasn't been a reliable opinion poll close to the election. many political commentators predict the national league will win a majority. it has been said that the inaccuracy in the vote, and in june, anywhere between 30 and 80% can be seen. the other issue is they had to
5:36 am
contend with it. in a country where anti-muslim sentiment has been brought up. they have been accused of being a pro-muslim party, and has chosen not to field a candidate. a move criticized. the third factor is the fact that many ethnic people will likely choose their parties. make their mistakes, whoever wins the election, the military will be an important force because of the way the constitution is drafted. a guaranteed 25%, it will not have the right to appoint a home minister, giving it control of security. post election, it will be the general's few of the democracy. this election is viewed as a step to a more democratic process. south korea hosted the first
5:37 am
trilateral summit with china and japan, the relationship has been marred by territorial disputes and unresolved issues for the world war ii. we have more from the south korean capital. >> the first trilateral talks in 3.5 years have been concluded. there was a news governance, not much of a conference, but it was an opportunity for the three leaders to put forward their messages, and there was a degree of commonality in the language they used. a lot of talk about piece, prosperity and stability and accelerating fans to have a 3-way free trade agreement between the three nations that between them amount for 20% of the global economy. the president park geun-hye of the south korea said restarting the process could be a spur towards better bilateral relations between the countries, the bilateral relationship between seoul, since she and

winner, but three opposition canned lodged complaints of vote rigging and fraud. the court found those claims baseless. >> the election was fine, and it was peaceful. we are happy with this result. we are happy. alpha is not a thief, and he won with the blessing of god. >> this is the second vote since independence from france 60 years ago. violence in the week before the polls marked the campaign of course, there was high turn out and little incidents on election day. >> the election did take police in a decent manner and the period after election there was an experience of quiet times. >> conde faces challenges as he enters the second term in office. the ebola outbreak lingers and a slump in global metal crisis
