her from becoming president. the army still dominates politics in that country after decades in power, the military backed union solidarity party needs 35% to form a majority as 25% of seats reserved for military and up to four million people may have been unable to vote including minority rohinga muslims and we are at the polling station and begins our coverage. ♪ the end of historic day in myanmar, the end of polling for this general election. it seems to have gone very smoothly. there have been no reports of any kind of violence, no reports today on polling day or accusations of any kind of inconsistencies, election monitors from both local and international organizations had fanned out across the country and so far there have been no mention of any kind of

wrongdoing or any suspicious activities at these 40,000 polling centers across the country. now the nld the opposition party headquarterss here people started to gather after the sun sets a couple hours after polling closed to show their support for chi and gathered in front of headquarters and were told to go home and wait for the results. and we take a look at how the day unfolded. >> reporter: 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. >> for our next generation and time for a real change so that is what we are hoping for and hoping it will bring good changes. >> they say that we can make a change for the future, for the brighter future for our country. >> reporter: nearly 50 years military government ruled this country and until handing over power four yours ago and since

then the union solidarity and development party mostly consisting of military officers has been in charge and the woman to bring change to myanmar is shi and still under house arrest when the last general election was held, a process largely considered fraudulent by the international community. this election is different. the main opposition party, the national league for democracy is taking part. international observers have been allowed into the country. >> it's a first for man mar to invite international observations missions and we think it's very positive because it increases transparency of the process and our observers are doing their work and we hope that this transparency will be displayed throughout the counting process and announcement of results. >> reporter: allegations on the voter list errors and no polling in seven townships and hundreds of villages because of security

concerns following fighting between army and government soldiers. temporary identity card holders who voteded in the last election are not allowed to this time. the move made the effects a million rohinga and who are discriminated against and unrecognized by the government. and whatever the outcome of sunday's vote, the military will still play a part in government because the constitution guarantees it a quarter of seats in parliament. that didn't seem to matter, at least on this day and not to those who voted. polling has closed after an eagerly anticipated nation and the first by a semi civilian government and excluding the flaws it's for the democracy in myanmar. >> al jazeera. many of the human rights issues in myanmar relate to minority groups and wayne hey at a camp for displaced people in the state. >> reporter: there is no celebration of myanmar's

developing democracy here, in the camps around the state capitol here there are around 100,000 people, most of them are rohinga muslims viewed as illegal immigrants in myanmar despite the fact most of them have been here for generations and their rights have been stripped away and used to be able to vote in elections, not this time. that right has also been taken away by the government. >> translator: i was hoping to be able to vote but now i can't. our lives are so difficult right now. >> translator: i'm very sad i can't vote but i hope that after the election the rohinga people will be recognized, that is my one wish. >> reporter: a few kilometers outside the camps people voting as normal and one of the leading candidates for the buddhist party in the state is not offering much hope for the people here. >> translator: we have a citizenship law and can live with those who are compatible with that law but we can't live

with newcomers. >> reporter: the people here say they have some hope in the time of chi but so far she has refused to speak out in support of them. let's take a look at how we got to this point. and her party won elections in 1990 but the military anulled the results and put her on house arrest for 15 of the next 21 years. in 1991 she was awarded the nobel peace prize for her commitment to peaceful change in myanmar, in 2007 buddhist monks had the biggest protest in 20 years known as the revolution and the military rulers rewrote the consultation giving them a quarter of all seats in parliament and banning her from becoming president by disqualifying anyone with foreign children. leader of myanmar's democracy movement was finally free from house arrest in 2010 but her party boycotted subsequent elections that were widely seen as being rigged. for more on this i'm joined by a

professor at the university college london and thank you very much for coming in. so tell me you encouraged by what we have seen so far, what we know so far of how this vote was conducted. >> i am encouraged and hearing from friends that things have gone quietly and peacefully and do not feel there has been this kind of ballot box stuffing we kind of saw in 2010 and encouraged by the fact that the president has said whatever comes he will accept it, the current regime the bp will accept it and positive and it's quite a big difference from what we had five years ago. >> but up to four million people may have been unable to vote in the election including perhaps minority like rohinga muslims and how does that impact the election? >> people say free and free and i look at what is credible and acceptable vote, the fact is that in 2010 the rohinga white card holders with temporary ids and allowed to vote and they

were taken away and disenfranchised overnight but keep the big picture in mind for the first time we have election with the nld opposition standing and there is immense support for nld and likely to be the largest party so big change from 2010. of course there are other issues such as voter lists but i hear from what people are saying with regard to the observers that no big infringements seem to have come but we have to probably wait until tuesday to hear from alexander who is the eu chief observer and get the report on the basis of that. >> national observers but not heard and not had details analysis from them about what has been going on but so tell me then with a high threshold to get majority 67% given the strength of support for her party in the country that grass roots support you describe, is it becoming clearer she is likely to get that? >> i don't think we can

speculate. i think there are we have over 9 90 parties going and worried about ethnic states and the fact that nld today in ethnic state and as a result split the ethnic vote and ethnic opposition which was a true opposition in 2010 might find itself outside of parliament and that is not very good in a country which has 60% and 40% ethnic minorities with a peace process and taken the last three years to sort of evolve and if we don't have the ethnic voices in parliament and dominated nld dominated that not good for the country and i'm more worried about the split. >> tensions later on or perhaps immediately after the vote. >> possibly and three months before the parliament sits down and odd is we have two or three months and the old parliament is still in power and new parliament really comes in the new year. >> it's going to be a few months before we at least a few months before we see a new government

in myanmar and all right so what about the you say that the nlds popularity, the strength of their support could split the ethnic vote in some places, if the nld don't get what they are hoping for, could that -- would they accept that result or could that too cause problems? >> if they feel cheated, then of course that is going to cause big protests. but it's going to be very difficult for the nld to politice a win, if they are the largest party they won't be able to say that this has been a cheated election. there are other parties, there are and is support for other parties in certain constituencies and if they are the largest party it will be difficult for them to say this has been an unfair election. >> appreciate your analysis. there is more to come for you on the al jazeera news hour, gunmen kill nine people in a bar in

since mid september sparked by unrest at a major jerusalem shine and this comes as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu comes to the united states for talks with barack obama and the first meeting for 13 months and netanyahu wants to get access to a new military aid package. >> translator: the conversation with the president will be on resent events in the middle east and syria and possible progress with the palestinian and stabilizing the situation and strengthening the state of israel, something the united states has always committed to with state of israel being preserved in the face of a changing middle east and changing parliament of forces. stephanie decker is in west jerusalem and she has more now. >> reporter: two of the incidents took place around the northern city of the occupied west bank and one of them that was caught on camera, the woman that tried to stab an israeli security officer, that was in

bethlehem, this is a change to a partner we have been seeing here over the last few weeks that most of the incidents, some of them disputed of course palestinian witnesses, there are certain cases say it's not as the israeli narrative goes but they have not taken place around hebron where most attacks have taken place and does go to show how unpredictable these attacks are, very difficult to prevent also the tension that remains on the ground and it all comes as israeli prime minister on his way to washington to meet with barack obama. we know they will be discussing tensions here on the ground. we know that the israeli prime minister according to israeli media reports has a plan to try and ease tensions in the west bank and gaza lifting checkpoints, perhaps easing the restrictions on movement, but i think very difficult to see how that is going to translate to the tensions on the ground that remain very real, many people will tell you it stems from factors and partially a complete

hopelessness in seeing the end of this occupation and certainly we have heard from the white house in the last few days that a two-state solution, that a solution to the tensions, to the long, on going crisis here, the occupation will not happen under the presidency of barack obama. robert hunter is a senior fellow for transatlantic relations at the john's hopkins of advanced studies and a former white house representative to arab peace talks and is live from rome and thank you for speaking to us and not a harmonious relationship between netanyahu and president obama, what are they seeking to do in the up coming meeting? >> the most important thing to start with is show they like one another and a longhand shake and lots of smiles and may hug one another. it's important for the israeli

prime minister to show his people that despite all the things he said about obama the relationship with the united states is solid for president obama he has to show the american jewish community that he is still firmly committed to israel's security so the first thing that is going to happen is we are going to have what we in america call a love in. >> all right so they will have a little bit of that. in terms of what we have been hearing from u.s. officials they have said that they don't see any hope of a breakthrough in the peace process. do administration officials believe that the two-state solution is effectively dead even if it is a privately held view? >> well, nobody is going to admit to that because quite frankly nobody who cares either about israel or about the palestinians sees a decent alternative for the israelis, they have to choose either to be

a jewish state or a democratic state and they can't be both. now, before netanyahu left for america, obama made clear that he will not press for anything serious in terms of israel, palestinian peace process so long as he is president. that is trying to take it off the agenda. but it's very important for the president to reenforce the u.s. view that the two-state solution is the only thing that could work. i personally regret that during his administration it wasn't possible to do anything serious but the next president is going to have to step up and really work at this issue because america's position in the region does depend upon not just getting security for israel but also genuine rights and a state for the people of palestine.

>> but if obama after all the hope and ambition that came with his cairo speech over five years ago didn't do enough to address this what hope is there for subsequent administrations to do the same thing when you can argue conditions on the ground are far worse when you look at the violence sweeping israel and occupied territories and of course the continued settlement building. >> well, it certainly does not look hopeful although now with the agreement between iran and the so called p 5 plus 1 countries on iran's nuclear program that is one issue off the table. now, if i were president, what i would do is i would make very clear to mr. netanyahu in private but not in public that settlement building has to stop. this was a pledge that was made by former prime minister began to former president jimmy carter

way back in 1979. began broke his word to the president and we have seen hundreds of thousands of settlers move into the west bank since that time. unless israel stops settlement construction, there is no hope for peace. at the same time it's important that mohamed abas the head of the palestinian authority and effect the president of palestine to do everything possible to reduce and eventually stop the violence that is now taking place. we have to understand there is a very real risk of a third intafada and nobody will gain from it but it's a very real risk with the deep frustration on the part particularly of young palestinians who have never known anything in their entire lives but occupation. >> thank you very much.

good to hear your insight and thank you for sharing your expertise on this, robert hunter, former white house representative to the arab israeli peace talks. moving to burundi now where unidentified gunmen killed nine people at a bar in the capitol and seven bodies were found on the floor inside the venue. two other people who managed to escape died later in hospital. it came as a presidential deadline to hand in illegal weapons expired. opponents were told to give up arms and surrender or face police action, security forces are carrying out house to house searches for weapons. the resent unrest in burundi killed at least 200 and seen tens of thousands leave the country and began in april with widespread protests after the president said he would seek a third term in office and went on to win elections in july but the result was contested by opposition groups and he set a deadline of midnight saturday for people to hand over illegal

firearms or be considered enemies of the nation part of a plan to disarm the population. but opposition leaders say this could be used as an excuse for him to kill his opponents. benjamin from the london school of economics says parallels have been drawn between burundi and the ethnic violence in rwanda. >> we hear a lot of parallel and even actually the leadership in burundi hinted on this kind of thing as well, i think yesterday. however, there is still it's not so much the opposition is from tootsi and hutu together and trying the recourse of ethnic argument is one thing for that to actually run is another so i think at the moment we can't really see this kind of rhetoric is really working. however, of course, we have to be careful about that. rescuers in brazil resumed

>> translator: there have been many versions. from what we were officially told i'm inclined to think it was an explosive on board. >> reporter: kremlin says we shouldn't jump to conclusions but decision making tells a slightly different story, all russian flights suspended on friday a precaution and evacuated tourists started returning back to home country this weekend. if an i.s.i.l. bomb is proven to be what destroyed the jet don't expect the domestic backlash against the current policy and putin's time in power has been marked by several deadly attacks and tragedies and the general response is to grieve and move on, if anything look for a hardening of attitudes more support for russia's bombing in seer yeah. 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,

the tourism sector. but resent years have been tough and 2010 egypt saw 14.7 million and then it fell to 9.9 million and tourism revenues peaked 12.8 million in 2008 but 2015 is unlikely to exceed $7 billion. russian tourists who booked for egypt are being offered alternative holidays in turkish resorts, the impact is enormous. >> translator: tourist agencies will have losses because they cannot sell egypt any more and invest in the alternative and egypt is in shock as a whole because they are losing business. the situation is very difficult. ♪ 2015 was supposed to be a turning point for the egyptian tourism industry, this past week should have seen the launch of a $68 million global pr campaign, a three-year deal to promote

egypt in 27 global markets. instead the campaign has been shelved, the launch events cancelled. even though in many of these cases i can certainly speak for jordan and tunisia and egypt the situation on a 99% of the time is very safe, very enjoyable and no sense of any security issue but people's perceptions change and for a tour operator who prints the brochure and on line and spends a lot of time promoting a destination get to a point where they say it's just not worth it. >> reporter: egyptian tourism faced big setbacks in the past, in the months after the massacre of 58 tourists the temporal in 1997 numbers fell 60% and last year a bomb on a tourist bus killed two korea and bombed mexican tourists in the desert, eight mexicans and four egyptians killed and in sharm
