10:03 am
turkey will only continue to go forward and it does not matter if ak party does not get enough votes to form a single party government, although i believe that that will be the outcome, it is all right, and ak party will continue to talk with the other parties to form a coalition. >> as a young turk and like we say, you make up a huge part of this population, not only are you decided on who you are voting for, you are active in politics. why did you choose the ak party? why do you believe that it is them that your best interests are with that? >> turkey is a very diverse community. there are many different groups within the society, and i chose that party because i believe that ak party ewe nights these different groups and brings political and economical stability to the country and that is why i will continue to support it. >> are you not afraid that you've been in power for so long
10:04 am
that you've become used to being in power and people saying you don't want to let go as a party and that is harming turkey's democracy? >> no, no. i believe that we have only gained a lot from all the things we have done up until now and it will only get better because we have so much experience. >> thank you very much. that's one view on the political spectrum here and it is a very diverse one. there are strong opinions on all sides of this debate and that's why a lot of people are waiting in great anticipation to see the results of these elections, not only to see if their party is going to win, but the economic security and political one dependency perfectly on the outcome of these polls. >> thank you for that update from ankara. speaking of results, let's go to istanbul. you were at a polling station where i believe now the votes are being counted behind you.

turkey to tell us what is important for voters there. what's at take for them when it comes to this election? >> this was one of the parts of turkey, the southeast kurdish majority city that put the full kurdish party in parliament for the first time. that's what robbed the akt. they got eight seats in parliament in the june election. it's because of them that the a.k.p. would say they've had the majority taken from them. they would hope to get 30% share of the vote, similar to june. i think here among the excitable crowd outside the headquarters, hoping for at least representation in parliament again this time around. a lot of the socially
10:09 am
conservative kurds were the ones who voted for the a.k.p. previously, kept them in power. they are the ones who joined with more secular minded kurds to vote more ethnic lines and vote for the pro kurdish h.d.p. the a.k.p., the ak party hasn't tried to get those socially conservative votes back. that's why the h.d.p. is hoping to hang on to them. migrant in greece say they need assistance from the next government. >> turkey will decide who will govern the country, but whoever it is, they should help us. whether it is the h.d.p. or any other party or president erdogan or someone else, they have to help us. more bodies have washed up on the greek island of lesbos. they were carried from the shore

10:14 am
sporadically. overall, the government's forces are clearly on the offensive and have the momentum. >> in april, fighters from the group killed 147 people in an attack on garissa university college in kenya. in september, 2013, al shabab fighters stormed the west gate shopping mall in nairobi, killing 67 people. somalia has been devastated by decades of civil unrest. four years ago, somalia's government pushed al shabab out of major cities, including mogadishu with the help of african soldiers. the government and it's supporters still have much work to do. al jazeera. still ahead on the al jazeera news hour, we gained rare access to afghanistan bases when children are being recruited to fight for isil.

10:19 am
kurdish force trying to implement a specific plan and its own agenda in northern syria. >> the y.p.g. controls half of the border with syria, now trying to push isil from the countryside. this is he can spend to be the prelude to an attack on raqqa. the y.p.g. has refused to press further without syrian arab rebels taking the lead in a mainly sunni province. one group called the raqqa revolutionary front said an uprising against isil is prominent. >> the syrian democratic forces say their goal is not just to end isil's presence, but to build a democratic, unified and secular syria. it is a goal shared by the united states that has now decided to send troops on an advisory mission for the first time to syria, but the expected
10:20 am
deployment and the support for the y.p.g. is causing tension. >> u.s. ground involvement in syria is focused solely on fighting isil. secretary of state john kerry has said the u.s. is not entering the war. this is angering other opposition groups, who are not just worried about the growing strength of the y.p.g., but believe the priority should be to fight the syrian government. al jazeera, beirut. >> the u.n. special envoy to yemen expects more talks between the warring parties to begin by mid november. he is at an annual security summit in bahrain and said the civilians in yemen need a solution as quickly as possible. the war has killed thousands and created a humanitarian crise. >> isil say they are taking more territory from the taliban in afghanistan. we have a report on how they are

10:22 am
from the isil gunmen. >> we don't agree with those brothers who want isil here in afghanistan, because the taliban are already here. if there is no need, why would you join them? >> al jazeera was given access to two of the group's bases. their numbers don't appear to be large, but they say many more are in hiding. >> there are many fighters all over this province, a large number of foreign fighters have come from saudi arabia and europe. they are here but can't talk to you face-to-face. >> more chilling than their aims are their methods. these 13-year-olds and 17-year-olds are ready to become suicide bombers. they say they have been trained by for the purposes and don't fear giving up their lives. their commander is a former governor of the province, notorious for their rootlessness. he said suicide attackers don't scare him. civilians are afraid of more violence. thousands more have been

10:26 am
united states, which wants to see its two key regional allies mend their relationship. al jazeera, seoul. >> here's what's coming up, an appetite for crab meat in brass still forces the government to act to save the species. >> how some gadgets designed to help us could be doing the opposite instead. in sport, the golfer who has won the turkish open for a second time. econd time.

10:31 am
voters. the main opposition, the republican people's party or the c.h.p. is a secular party. it's got a quarter of the vote in june. that's 131 seats. an increase in share could enable it to form a coalition government and with its mental of change, be an alternative to the ruling ak party. the nationalist party is a right wing conservative party. it got 16% of the vote in june, translating into 79 seats. ideologically at least, it is the national coalition partner for the ak party. then there's 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% threshold to get into parliament. to do that again, it's trying to shake off accusations that it's aligned with the kurdish armed group, the p.k.k.
10:32 am
more than 54 million turkish citizens are eligible to vote in this election. the question is whether they will revert back to the ak party dominance of the last 13 years or vote for change. >> here in the studio is a fellow from turkish studies. will this election unit the parties? >> an election itself can never be a uniting force. the post election is more important that that the election itself. the democratic procedure is a mean to an end, so in this reward, there is the government, the post election government can introduce a program, an opening toward a society that will make it possible to reduce the level of tension, but nevertheless,
10:33 am
the election itself will not solve the question. >> what will the end result be? you mentioned the end, so are we looking at a single party rule? >> it is still too early to predict, it's a very tightly fought election, so we are not talking about 5%, 6% of difference, we are talking like 1%. therefore, it's too early to make a judgment. nevertheless, i think it will be very hard, within a matter of one year and two or three months to ask once again people to go to vote. it will be a fifth election.
10:34 am
there is an election fatigue among the turks, so i don't think that the parties can ask once again to go to polls. >> our correspondents across turkey are reporting that there has been high voter turnout, but what's changed since the last election in june acknowledge election? >> well, i mean on the one hand, some change, but not that much change. much change in the new topics we are discussing. june 7 we had a single agenda item election, which was will turkey keep its parliamentary system or will it turn it into a political and executive presidency as the government ak party was contending, but primarily, the president erdogan
10:35 am
was wanting p.m. in this election, we have much more than that. in this election, the main question was since on june 7 we found answer to this, no turkey won't have a parliamentary system that will be changed to executive presidency. in this election, the question was will turkey have a single party government or a coalition government. besides this, during this time period, the kurdish peace process derailed, at least partial, the ceasefire has come to an end and right now there's fighting between turkey and the p.k.k. there has been two major terrorist attacks which is lily believed to be conducted by isis in turkey, therefore the base on security has come to fore. for the first time, the turks felt what it feels like not to have a very stable government, because in the last 13 years,
10:36 am
there has been an uninterrupted rule of a single party government, so some turks actually forget about what it looks like to have an unstable government with some uncertain economic prospect and political instability. that was the change, but will this be reflected on the voting behaviors? to some extent, but not much. >> thank you so much for joining us. voters in azerbaijan at the polls, but the ruling party of the president is expecting a big win, because most opposition parties are boy catting that vote. approximate the government denies allegations by the opposition and human rights groups of harassment and silencing dissent. >> in my myanmar, an election following nearly 50 years of military rule, a rally is being
10:37 am
held. if neither party wins a majority in next sundays election, they are expected to forge alliances and form a government. we have this update. >> there hasn't been reliable opinion polls leading up to the election, but many political commentators predict the national league for the democracy will win a majority in parliament. in a country where anti muslim sentiment has been exploited leading up to the elections, they are accused of being a pro muslim party and partly for that reason has chosen not to field any muslim candidates, a move that has been criticized. many ethnic people and
10:38 am
ethnicities will likely choose their own ethnic parties. whoever wins the election, the military will still be a very important force, because of the way the constitution is drafted. 25% of seats in parliament guaranteed, they have the right to appoint the minister. >> the latest ruling of the constitutional court, just moments before inside, the chief judge had validated the results of presidential elections held
10:39 am
three weeks ago. >> with all consequence, the constitutional court declares the r.p.g. party won 57.8% of the votes and is elected president of the republic starting from december 2001, 2015 to december 21, 2020. >> the election commission had already declared conde as winner, but three opposition candidates launched claims of vote rigging and fraud. the court found those claims baseless. >> the election was fine and peaceful p.m. we are happy with the result. he has won with the blessing of god. >> violence in the week before the polls had marked the campaigning, but there was high turnout and little i want on
10:40 am
election day. >> i'm proud that we have a new momentum in democracy. >> don day faces several challenges as he enters his second term in office. a slump in global metal prices is affecting exports, but for now, conde supporters are celebrating five more years under his leadership. gerald tan, al jazeera. >> environmental activists in kenya are trying to make their community more energy efficient. they want to convince people that human waste can be a source of fuel. cot run has the story. >> she is teaching women about coal, but it's not just any coal. this is made from human waste.
10:41 am
i have the burns longer, is odorless. it is something new here northwest of kenya's capitol in nairobi. she has a tough job convincing people to buy. >> people normally ask me is it really safe. they are very conservative and the first reaction is shock. i explain to them that this has been tested and proven to be safe. >> it is nope for it's flour farms. it's also a sanitation hazard. there are not enough toilets and no proper waste disposal system, so most of the waste here is dumped in the town's scenic lake. a non-profit organization is helping to change that. >> when you look at the people using their latrines, it's
10:42 am
unsafe at night to use them. >> sanitation has been giving people toilet boxes like this one and collecting their waste twice a week for a fee of about $5 a month. >> the waste is brought here for treatment. extreme heating in concentrators is meant to kill everything. it's a process that takes at least a day to make sure that the waste is clean and fit to go into that processing plant. >> in a fairly simple process, human waste is then mixed with crushed stems thrown away from flower fans and charcoal dust to make these briquettes. workers increasingly reaching out to people at home. >> a lot of users in our area don't have gas stoves. they have a three stone fire and we found our charcoal is perfect for working with them. >> many people here use charcoal
10:43 am
and firewood. the plan is to reduce cutting down trees and help in waste management, a good idea for a country where seven out of 10 kenyans lack a household toilet and just 5% of human waste is treated before released into the environment. those working towards popularizing these briquettes say the biggest challenge is teaching people that even human waste can be good. al jazeera, kenya. coming up, all your sports news, including: new zealand lifts the rugby world cup for a record third time after beating australia in the finals in london.
10:45 am
in brazil, the appetite for crab meat is causing the government to act. the crab live in the third large evident river delta but overfishing has caused the population to dwindle. >> after he lost his job 20 years ago, like so many of his neighbors, this was all that was left for pedro campos to do. >> it's the worst place in the world to make a living. harvesting crops, you get dirty. there are mosquitoes and huge downpours you have to work in. >> unless the crab population returns to its former abundance, it's not work pedro wishes for
10:46 am
his children. he's been at it for 10 hours but has just 16 crabs to show for his effort. >> there are too many people catching crabs. you used to be able to get several hundred a day. now we have trouble getting even 10. >> crabs are just one of the devastated natural resources in the delta, so three years ago, the government intervened, but instead of banning fishing and crabbing altogether, it created cooperatives with exclusive fishing rights for brazil's poorest and most vulnerable families. it allows for harvesting in concentrated areas while marine populations recover in other parts of the delta. families that take part receive government subs decease for low yield. it's part of a wider program implemented to combat chronic poverty. >> i give it 10 out of 10. it helps with a lot of things, shoes for children, books for
