this camp. in these camps there are around 100,000 people, most of them are rohingya muslims, largely viewed as illegal immigrants. despite the most that they have been here for generation, their rights have been stripped away. they suicide to vote in elections, not this time. that right has been taken by the government. >> translation: i was hoping to vote. now i can't. our lives are so difficult now. >> translation: i'm very sad i can't vote. i hope that after the election the rohingya people will be recognised. that is my one wish. >> reporter: just a few kilometres away outside the camps, people vote as normal. a leading candidate for the buddhist party is not offering much hope for the people ear. >> we have a citizenship law, we can live with those compatible to the law. we can't live with newcomers.

would see them leading the poll in this election five years later. >> they are expected to win big. we haven't heard about their policies. what would an n.l.b. win mean for myanmar. >> it would mean that the democratic opposition has a food hold in the government. this has not happened before. parliamentary governments in the '50s, it was a smaller government and electorate. having the democracy party or forces as the majority will put a lot of pressure on the military and the military's grownial leaks to begin moving further in the direction of democratic governance. >> what would the n.l.d. - if

they make the big gains they are expected, what does it mean for the ruling former military elite, and as you alluded to. they have a strong grip on the economy of myanmar, don't they? >> yes, they do, and will for some time to come. it's a patry moanial state and probably will be a generation before it becomes a modern state. it would have to continue to progress. there's no guarantee that that will happen. but this is a good sign, and we have to look for good signs in the process. i believe that the n.l.d. will bring better policies to bear, for one thing. >> on the question of the rise of buddhist nationalism that we are seeing in myanmar, and the attacks on aung san suy kyi's personality that we have seen in this election campaign, buddhist monks saying that aung san suy kyi does not stand up against a threat that muslims through to

traditional values, how concerning is the rising tide of buddhist nationalism been. >> a large n.l.d. win proves that the majority of the population proves that the majority of the population doesn't agree with that. former ch chief demission to myanmar. joining us live from washington d.c. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. thank you now, let's move on to other news. there has been more violence in israel and occupied territories. a 19-year-old soldiers died of his wounds after a car rammed him on wednesday. a palestinian man was shot dead after driving into a group of israelis. in a separate incident a palestinian woman was shot and wounded by a security guard i think bethlehem. a woman was shown taking a knife from her handbag and lunging at

the guard. it's the latest in attacks that saw 77 palestinians, and 10 israelis killed israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu is on his way to the united states and will hold talks with president obama. it will be the first meeting in over a year. binyamin netanyahu is hoping to make progress with a u.s.-military aid package. >> translation: the conversation with the president will center on recent events in the middle east, including in syria; possible progress with the palestinians or stabilizing the situation with them, and strengthening the security of the state of israel, something the united states is committed to with the state of israel's quality being preserved in the face of a changing middle east and a changing balance of forces zoo let's go to our correspondent tom ackerman, joining us live from washington d.c. have relations between obama and binyamin netanyahu improved at all since the iran deal was passed, and what impact will

that have on monday's meeting? >> well on one hand after - or since the defeat of the attempts to scupper the iran nuclear deal, the israelis called off talk of trying to get congress to advance further sanctions outside the deal against iran. but relations were not impressed by the latest revelations that the media advisor, that binyamin netanyahu appointed a few days ago turned out to have uttered in public several demeaning or insulting remarks about obama, alluding to anti-semitism on his part. and calling john kerry, having the mentality of a 12-year-old. binyamin netanyahu has not rescinded that appointment, but obviously there have been apologies made.

the americans same that that will not be a problem in determines of the actual discussions at hand, which is basically trying to get the agreement on a memorandum of understanding that would set the ball rolling towards a new 10-year commitment by the united states for military aid to israel. and that would entail something like a 5 billion a year commitment, something - as we can say, over 10 years that would be a $50 billion commitment on the part of the united states. >> binyamin netanyahu visiting the u.s. at a time of increased tensions in israel and the palestinian territories, what is obama expected to hear from binyamin netanyahu on efforts to calm the situation? >> the americans are concerned about this. they have also noted the deterioration in relation to

israel and america's other closest ally in the middle east, jordan, over the tension, over the jerusalem shrines, the muslim shrines. they will want to hear confidence building initiatives that the israeli might put forward. but these will fall short of an attempt to restart negotiations with the palestinians on long-range or more comprehensive peace deals. the americans in advance of this trip said we don't expect to see any kind of deal in the course of the obama administration which runs out in a year and a half, or less than a year and a half. and the israelis are not advancing anything comprehensive. certainly the internal politics inside israel and his cabinet foreclose any such option on the part of binyamin netanyahu, even

if he was interested in putting forward something other than what they talked about, which is perhaps some kind of slowdown in settlement construction, in new areas that have not already been where they've - they've not already broken ground. >> thank you, tom. that's our correspondent tom ackerman joining us live from washington d.c., thank you. more to come on the al jazeera newshour. no hope of going home. south sudan say a camp in kenya is a safer option. we look at the impact metro jet crash in the sinai could have on egypt's tourism. and in sport, contrasting fortune for real madrid and spain's la liga. details with raul coming up taliban fighters have been battling a breakaway group in
