>> welcome to the news hour from d. sealing her first ever vote with a kiss, millions go to the polls in myanmar's first open elections in years. >> nine people dead in burundi, families flee the capital. ♪ a memorial service held at st. petersburg cathedral to

remember victims of last week's crash. in sport, moto g.m. has new world champion as jorge lorenzo clinching the seat by a narrow margin. over 25 million people have taken part in myanmar's historic election. among them, the iconic leader of the country's democracy movement, who voted for the very first time. barred by the constitution from becoming president, polls suggest when the polls are known, her party will be declared the winner. al jazeera has several teams covering the election. many people weren't allowed to take part in the election.

in myanmar's biggest city, we'll go there first. >> the end of a historic day here in myanmar, the end of polling for this general election. it seems to have gone smoothly. there are no reports of violence, no reports or accusations of any kind of inconsists, election monitors from local and international organizations had fanned out across the country and so far, there had been no mention of wrongdoing or any suspicious activities at these 40,000 polling centers across the country. now the opposition party headquarters here, people started to gather after the sunset, a couple of hours after polling closed to show support. they gathered out in front of the headquarters but then were told to go home and wait for the

results. we look at how the day unfolded. >> before daybreak, and before polling stations had opened, voters in myanmar were patiently waiting their turn for a chance to vote for the government they want. >> it's for our next generation, time for real change. that's what we're hoping for and hopefully, you know, that will bring good changes. >> this day, we can make a change for the future, for a brighter future for our country. >> for nearly 50 years, a military ruled the country until handing over power four years ago. since then, the party, mostly consisting of former military officers had been in charge. the woman seen most able to bring change to myanmar was still under house arrest in the last general election. the process largely was considered fraudulent by the international community. >> this election is seen as more legitimate and inclusive

compared to the last election five years ago, the main opposition party, the national league for democracy is piking part. international observers have been allowed in. people who didn't bother voting in 2010 are turning up to cast their ballot. >> it is a first for myanmar to environment further observation. we think this is very positive. it increases the transparency of the process and our observers are now doing their work and we hope that this transparency will be displayed throughout the counting process and throughout the announcement of the results. >> there are allegations of errors in the voter list and irregularities in advance voting and no polling in hundreds of villages because of security concerns following fighting between armed ethnic armies and government soldiers. holders of temporary identity cards who voted in the last election won't be allowed to this time. the move mainly affects reming gay, the muslim minority who are

discriminated against and unrecognized by the government. whatever the outcome of sunday's vote, the military will stale play a part in government, because the constitution guarantees it a quarter of seats in parliament. despite its flaws, this election is a step forward for the fledgling democracy in myanmar. >> the long time party won elections back in 1990, but the military annul the the results and put her under house arrest. in 1991, she was awarded the nobel peace prize. military leaders rewrote the sons substitution and banned her from becoming president.

the leader of the democracy movement was finally freed from house arrest in 2010, but her party boycotted elections, which were seen at rigged. an academic in bangkok says myanmar has come far, but challenges remain. >> i think we have to keep in perspective however myanmar has traveled in the last 25 years. some years under development, the ethnic tensions, the civil war, we have a lot of problems in myanmar, so we will see flaws and shortcomings, there are certainly human rights concerns. i think these will be tied to the results. i think those concerns about rights will come to the fore more. if they do well overwhelmingly, those concerns will be put aside. the mld have not named a presidential nominee in case of their win, because the focus is

on her. she has said that she will run the country even if she's not president. i think the future of myanmar after these elections will be in her hands. the government represented by sdp, four years ago, they have allowed more open politics. now the combination of that reform process, we are seeing these elections. somehow going forward, we are looking to see some kind of compromise and accommodation. myanmar cannot change overnight from military dictatorship to a limbo in between and then to a shining democracy, so somehow she has to find ways to accommodate the military, the military has to allow election results to stand and then allow the more inclusive process. we're looking at years ahead, not just today. >> many of the human rights concerns you just heard about relate to myanmar minorities.

wayne hay is at a camp for people. >> there i see no celebrating here for democracy here in these camps. there are around 100,000 people, most of them rohingya muslims, largely viewed as illegal i am france despite the fact most have been here for generations. their rights have been stripped away. they used to vote in elections, not this time. that right has also been taken by the government. >> i was hoping to be able to vote, but now i can't. our lives are so difficult right now. >> i'm very sad that i can't vote, but i hope that after the election, the rohingya people will be recognized. that's my one wish. >> just a few kilometers away outside these camps, people have been able to volt at normal. one of the leading candidates for the main buddhist party in the state isn't offering much hope for the people here. >> we have a citizenship law and we can live with those who are

cam patible with that law, but we can't live with newcomers. >> people have some hope, but so far, the candidate has refused to speak out in support of them. >> stay with us, still to come, too scared to go home, south sudanese in kenya say a refugee camp is a much safer option. >> i'm president world robot olympia here in doha, qatar where the smartette minds have come together to battle for robot supremacy. >> how this latest arrival in shanghai stole the million dollar prize in one of golf's biggest tournaments. >> in burundi, unidentified gunman killed nine people as a bar in the capital. security forces have been carrying out searches after a

own safety. >> it's terror at random, like last night, a bar was attacked, five guys in uniform and police uniforms ordered the people who were shipping outside to get inside, then they killed them. this is happening every day nearly or every couple of days, a couple of days ago. they were in another very popular area. it is terror, so people are very much afraid. people are fleeing the city, fleeing the suburbs. they flee, nobody knows exactly what is going to happen and people are very, very scared and it's very difficult to work here, because they don't want any witnesses. opposition groups in the country, they are not, you know, verbally present anymore. most of them are outside the country. you have the burundian press has been shut down. it's become impossible to cover. apologies the foreign press has been banned.

>> 90,000 people from south sudan are living in a refugee camp in kenya. most don't want to return home. they escaped fighting between rebels and the government and despite the peace deal are still not convinced it's safe. we have more from northern kenya. >> when soldiers attacked the village in south sudan last year, she didn't know which side they were fighting for. now she lives with her children in this refugee camp. during the firefight, she was shot in the neck. doctors removed the bullet. despite a recent peace agreement, she doesn't want to go back. >> south sudan is not ok. i say this because i saw my husband, my co wife and one of my children killed that in war, so i do not have any hope of going back. >> a refugee settlement is her home. she is among 90,000 south sudanese living here. the u.n. said most arrived since

the last conflict in 2013. following many months of stalled talks and growing international pressure, the rebel leader and president signed a peace deal in august. refugees here don't have confidence in it. some don't know it was signed. as yet, nobody is planning the journey back. >> the living conditions are tough, most of the air is very dry here. there are dust storms and no rain. the camp managers can only turn on the water taps for a couple of hours each day. in the reasony season, puddles form which can be a bleeding ground for mosquitoes spreading malaria and other infectious diseases. it's a better life, and crucially a safer one than what people expect if they go back home. >> tens of thousands of people came here during sudan's civil war in the 1980's and 1990's. a peace deal led to a referendum in the south and independence from sudan. iit was a time of hope.

this sign explains the new government to refugees here. many went home. hope faded when regional fighting took over, civilians bore the brunt of it. these men have lived through generations of conflict, their views lead the rest of the community and they're not optimistic. >> if it truly is peace, we will go home, but i have seen it before. we went home once before. if fighting erupts again, we will have to come back here, then i will still be stuck in the camp or request resettlement in another country. we don't have hope of going home. >> basketball is a favorite sport in south sudan. here, the refugees have formed a league. back home, ethnic groups have been pitted against each other in battle for decades. in the camp, teams from different communities play each other. for most, this is where they see their future. al jazeera, kenya.

force. 5,000 soldiers were sent to support cameroon in january. they stopped the advance of boko haram fighters in the lake chad area but remain a threat. in june, a five nation multi-national joint task force of nearly 9,000 troops was formed. troops from nigeria, chad, cameroon and niger are expected to be more effective. boko haram attacked chad multiple times after troops were sent to cameroon. dozen was soldiers were killed. thousands of been killed and tens of thousand us forced from their homes. the u.n. warns about the displacement of more people. attacks by boko haram fighters have become less frequent but haven't stopped in neighboring nigeria. >> we must be afraid. anybody who has seen these horrible things must be afraid. >> i can no longer go hunting, because i might get killed in the forest. we have to rely on farming.

in the last few weeks in the occupied west bank and alleged attacks, because some of disputed, disputed the israeli narrative and have been around the hebron area. what we've seen today, all three of these not in that area, two of them in the north, close to nablas, one a car bomb according to israeli police, the palestinian driving that car was shot and killed. two israelis severely wounded, one lightly. we also had another incident where an israeli settler was stabbed while he was shopping again, according to israeli police. they are looking for the two men that are supposed to have carried out the attack. then we had another incident close to bethlehem which was caught on video of a woman talking to an israeli security officer outside an illegal israeli settlement, when she pulled out a knife out of her bag and attempted to stab him. she's been shot. from sources, she is still alive according to what we know, so certainly, i think it goes to show the tension that remain on the ground, the unpredictability

of these attacks, which the israeli forces will tell you are hard to predict and still the have you not happiness intention on the ground. it's interesting, we heard from the head of military intelligence. he briefed the israeli cabinet earlier this month, and said that there was three reasons why palestinians were coming out to carry out these attacks, that they were unhappy, one was of course the tensions we'll seen at the al aqsa mosque compound, the temple mount. the second is no justice after the palestinian family was burned. no one was brought to justice. there is anger something that, it killed an 18-month-old baby and his parents and just a general hopelessness when it comes to the end of the occupation. he really hilt the nail on the head speaking to palestinians about why we're seeing a lot of these incidents taking place.

the israeli prime minister is on his way to washington to meet with the u.s. president barack obama. we're told he has a plan to try and appease things in the occupied west bank. i think whatever will be discussed there, very difficult to see how that's going to appease this feeling of hopelessness and destruction when it comes to palestinian feelings on the ground. a memorial service is being held in st. petersburg for the victims of the russian airline that crashed in egypt last week. 224 people were killed, the worst in russian history. we have more from moscow. ♪ >> 224 chimes for 224 lives, ended suddenly and violently. the somber sound of a tolling bell was the combination of a

owl russian flights to egypt were suspended on friday, a precaution we were told and evacuated tourists started arrival back in their home this weekend. >> even if bombs prove to be that whichs destroyed the jet, the general response has been to grieve and then move on. if anything, look for a hardening of attitudes, more support for russia's bombing in syria. sorrow is often followed by anger, but modern governments can be good at shaping public opinion for their own uses and the kremlin is better than most. al jazeera, moscow. >> protesters in romania on the streets again after last week's nightclub fire. they are demanding early elections and an end to corruption.

conservatives as expected? >> well, the migration issue was the big issue in this election campaign, because more than 5,000 migrants and refugees come into croatia from serbia each day. that's why the conservative coalition led by the democratic union said if they win, they will close off the borders, in fact close off the green borders, they will let refugees in only through official border crossings and they will make the control on the borders more strict. they say this also, they don't want croatia to become the hot spot for refugees in europe. the ruling social democrats coalition said of course croatia will not become the new hot spot in europe, even if neighboring countries like slovenia, austria close their borders, they want to deal with this migrant crisis in a more humane way. croatian prime minister from social democratic party tried and succeeded to score points

with among conservative voters by clashing verbally with neighboring countries such as serbia and hungary rewarding this issue of migrant crisis. >> how are the elections shaping up? people have been voting today. any indication of where things are going? >> well, there there will be a lot of talk, whoever wins this election will have its hands full of economic problems. unemployment is really high and the economic growth is still very frank jail, around 1%, but it is growing. that's why the center elect ruling coalition say they deserve another four year mandate because the economy after six years of recession is finally improving, finally increasing. on the other side, center right
