obama. i'm at the world robot olympia in doha attica shaktar where the smartest young minds have come together to battle for robot supremacy. ♪ myanmar's opposition party appears to be heading for a landslide victory in the historic election, national league for democracy led by chi is said to win 70% of the vote and announced the opposition has won the first 12 seats in parliament. the ruling union solidarity party backed by the party will accept the results and people in myanmar can only choose 75% of the seats in parliament because 25% are reserved for the military. well let's go to scott who is live for us and scott votes still being counted but so far so good for the nld.

>> absolutely and as expected, the first official results coming out as you said, 12 seats here to nld the opposition party and still a lot more seats to go, a lot more polls to be counted so this is just the beginning of this process and actually thought it was going to begin hours ago. the election commission in myanmar said they would hold a press conference at 9:00 and this came hours later at 4:00 p.m. local time after we heard it was not going to happen until 6:00 so a bit over the board if you will for results coming up, but the first official results coming up, and all have gone to the opposition party. >> we know she is constitutionally barred from becoming president and it's going to be quite some time before the people of myanmar will know who their next president will be. >> absolutely and that might not be until next february or march because there are several steps we have to go through before we

get there and that is obviously having all the votes tabulated and the seats announced who won them and if there is not an outright majority then jockeying for power and when it comes to who will control the parliament, who has the most power in the parliament and then there is going to be a deployment of a president, three pilars and upper and lower and military come up with a president and you can imagine what brokering there is in that process and the new government will take its seat in parliament next february or march so there are many steps to go before we get there but and again since the military has 25% guaranteed to them the deck is kind of stacked even though before we go into this process shiulie. >> some irregularrys reported here but on the whole what is the perceptions and have they

been perceived as free and fair? >> they have been received very favorably inside myanmar as well as the international observers who were here spread across the country, sunday on election day. there were some irregularities going into the campaigning and going into election day specific when it came to advanced polling and also the release of some registered voter lists and things like that and some who were abroad and myanmar citizens who wanted to vote in the elections and there were some questions about those going in and nothing major and spoke with some observers yesterday during the polling and not seeing anything major and there were complaints filed by chi and ethnic minority party who said there were irregularities but not massive fraud but lists of voters were not posted when they were supposed to be posted, ballot boxes were arriving late

at the counting centers or official centers so there have been complaints of irregulari irregularities but talking to those inside myanmar and those on the outside observing it seems to have gone off pretty well. >> scott is live there and australia immigration officials says there is a standoff between detainees and officers at the christmas island detention center and it's northwest in the indian ocean where they hold asylum seekers trying to get in the country. >> reporter: australia says they are trying to restore order at christmas immigration island and detention center and a politician says the facility e is in meltdown and employees of the company that manages the facility have abandon their posts. >> the situation at christmas island detention center now is very tense.

there are no guards inside the facilities. >> reporter: sources inside the facility say the violence began over the weekend after the death of an iranian kurdish refugee who tried to escape and the detainee in his 30s sought refuge but was jailed instead and his body was found at the bottom of a cliff. >> we also know he was suffering very severe psychological and physical harm due to not only the traumatic circumstances which he quit from as a kurd after he had been in iran but also in prolonged detention which caused him severe harm and also at times made him suicidal. >> reporter: detainee rights groups accused them of cruel and inhumane treatment at christmas island and treatment of people seeking refuge in australia will get worse. >> people who are on christmas

island choosing not to come to new zealand and now it's they damage their own appeals because they under take other criminal activity. >> reporter: some senators say there is a crisis at australia's immigration and detention centers and say it's time for the government to start being upfront of the conditions at these facilities. >> for us at the moment the priorities to make sure that we can restore order within the center of people on the ground are under taking those activities. >> reporter: australia says although it takes a tough stance on asylum seekers it tries to meet international standards when it comes to looking after them, al jazeera. spokesman at the refugee action coalition which is an advocacy group in australia and joins us live on skype in sidney and good to have you with us and i know you have been in contact with some of the detainees and tell us what they are saying

about the situation there. >> well, the situation is still the honor guards will staff inside the detention center and have been outside the detention center now for 17, 18 hours so the detention center is pretty much up to them but we are very concerned what is likely to be retaking of the detention center by force with emergency response team and the use of the police by the australian federal police and a very tense situation. it resolved nothing about the under lying problems with the christmas island detention center. >> this is a detention center which is a long way off the coast of australia and human rights groups says it has been accused of unkind and inhumane treatment of asylum seekers and do you know much more about how detainees are treated there? >> the most brutal of the

australian detention centers and designed as behavioral management unit, people are arbitrarily sent there and they are suggested to a very ruthless form of discipline and authoritarian responses that you would perhaps find more similar to maximum security prison although the people have security committed a crime but when people are there they are there 24 hours and 23 solitary and rather no connection to internet and proceed through a range of accessible behavior before they are allowed to exist in the compound and this is the only way you can understand of what is happening at christmas island and it's a brutalizeded population of people and by immigration have responded to a death of one of their own when he was found dead, it really set

a match to what was already there. >> australia has a very tough policy on immigrants, how does the australian public feel about these detention centers and the kind of conditions you have just been describing? >> the situation is shifting, has shifted quite dramatically i think and have been some very pointed revelations and the most resent about christmas island but there is a pregnant somali who said they could not take her there, very late in the pregnancy and before she had the termination sent her out of australia on a specially charted jet. there have been a number of things like that which exposed reality to the population which previously had been more willing to take what the government was saying at face value but i think the credibility of the government is being reduced day by day and people are much less

willing to believe what the government says what is happening in detention center than even six months ago. >> speaking live from sidney there. >> thank you. u.n. security council is set to meet on monday to discuss the resent violence in burundi. police in the east africa nation are searching for gunmen who killed at least nile pine in the capitol and attack happened at a bar on sunday just hours after deadline for civilians to give up weapons and security force conducting door to door searches for weapons and fear a crack down on those who oppose the president since the conver controversial bid for a third term and it's necessary for peace in the country. >> translator: there is a new technique that will support the process of forced disarmament of

civilians and enables us to get hold of the weapons illegally and carried by those concerned or hidden somewhere. this operation will take as long as it takes but the only thing is there are rumors that made civilians three. >> reporter: palestinian woman died after she was shot by israeli security forces at an alleged stabbing at a check point at the occupied west bank and israeli police say a palestinian man was shot dead after he drove into a group of israelis. the latest unrest comes as israeli prime minister arrives in washington and netanyahu is due to meet with u.s. president barack obama later on monday and netanyahu hoping to make progress for the new u.s. military aid package and resent violence between israelis and palestinians will also be discuss. >> reporter: eric powell is part of a movement on u.s. campuses opposing the illegal

occupation of the palestinian territory. >> what the rage is for and say this palestine be getting bopped and none of y'all are saying this. >> reporter: using rap to spread his message but on the eve of the visit from netanyahu he is not hopeful that anything will change. >> i honestly don't see it because he has other issues and i don't know how he feels personally but that the administration will definitely see as more important or more prominent than what he needs to get done during the last few months. >> it's good to welcome. >> reporter: that is what top white house aids are saying and not a two-state solution while the president is in office and might not be another round of talks and with the growing violence they want to hear what steps the prime minister may take to build confidence so the side also be able to eventually talk again. the u.s. is no longer talking about reevaluating the security council and could have allowed a perez escalation to pass that

could have demanded a settlement within a certain amount of time and jim manly believes they will not likely take that step. >> he will probably get opposition from some democrats for reelection and just to strengthen ties with israelis. >> reporter: the president could do that without congress but it would be unpopular, israelis have the upper hand in public opinion and when asked if the u.s. should support israel even if their interesting diverge 45% agreed, 47 said the u.s. should pursue its own interests and for its part israel is looking for a long-term financial agreement and increase in the $3 billion it gets from the u.s. each year and supporters have been trying to get a new bomb called the massive ordinance penetrator and capable of hitting iran's under ground nuclear facility. >> with the bomb would prevent the united states from being able to restraint israel should it be necessary to strike iran's

nuclear program and that is where i think the u.s. is probably keen not to give up that leverage or to delay giving up that leverage as long as it possibly can. >> reporter: relationship between the leaders is tense and not more so than now after netanyahu lobbied congress to kill the deal without asking the u.s. president first and they are sending the message they want to put it behind him and not what powell wanted to hear. >> raise it and that is enough with cages. >> reporter: message from the white house this is not the time for that. patty with al jazeera, washington. more coming up, on the al jazeera news hour, owners of eatery on greek island change menus to cater to refugees from the middle east and some say they are making money off poor people. no hope of going home, south sudan refugees says a camp in kenya is a much safer option and in sports the world body is set

something to calm the situation? >> i think there are going to be questions from obama is israel doing anything to calm the situation and netanyahu is going there with a list of gestures that israeli is supposedly willing to make to calm the situation down but these are very small steps, removing some checkpoints and approving some construction plans and it's nothing to change some of the situation that is driving the violence and it's very difficult to see what netanyahu can actually do to change the situation. it's not in his mondays and to facilitate the state and the current wave of violence is being driven by individuals so it doesn't have leadership on the other side to negotiate with or clamp down on so i think obama will want to hear from netanyahu as doing something and netanyahu will say he is doing

something and they will leave it at that. >> it's interesting because the u.s. administration conceded there is not going to be a two-state solution before president obama leaves power so i mean what happens now? what can the two sides do or is there a will from the two sides to push forward to a point where there could at least be negotiations? >> i don't think on the israeli side there is any interest on that, netanyahu's approach to the current rise in violence was to simply wait it out, not to over react on massive scale, not to go to war in gaza and not to put up too many checkpoints and so far it seems to be working. we do still have the violence of an incident and was one this morning but seems to be dying down a little bit and he is usually much more afraid of his coalition partners and especially the people to the
