>> reporter: yes. certainly a big day for the n.l.d. a day that comes incidentally five years ago to the day that aung san suu kyi, the leaderer of the n.l.d., was released from the military from her latest spell in house arrest. now she is on track to form the government on her own. her party will be able to fill most houses in both those parliaments. 3429 was the magic number that the n.l.d. needed heading into today. remember that vote counting has been ongoing since sunday's election. it has been a slow process. they've easily passed that 329 mark that they needed to counter any combined total that the ruling union i don't know solid art and controlling party might be able to muster combined with the milt tree that you mentioned which is guaranteed a quarter of all seats in parliament. so far the ruling party has only won 40 seats. it is a huge win for the n.l.d.

votes still being counted what about who becomes the next president? >> reporter: that is the big question. aung san suu kyi so far as refused to say who her nomination for the presidency will be, but because they have such a big majority now, because they will be able to fill most of those seats in parliament, it means that the next president will come from within the n.l.d. they could appoint someone from outside. it doesn't have to be a member of parliament, but we've been told by senior members of the the n.l.d. that it will be someone from within the party. they're certainly not confirming that. it still comes down to a parliamentary vote which will take place next year. as they have such a large majority now, it is certain that the next president will be someone of the n.l.d.'s choosing thank you for that. a bomb has exploded in southern thailand killing four people. it happened in a village in the

the attack. >> translation: they've targeted this place because they don't have any other way to fight us back. they have run out of options and let me be clear, they've targeted this area because we are shia, but we won't be phased. >> reporter: hezbollah has long insisted that its decision to fight in syria was a strategic choice and just like in the previous round of attacks it is unlikely to change the position and supporters say they back that stance. >> today before and tomorrow, we will keep following the same principle. we will not like feel weak or something like that. no. we have always been like that and we will stay like that >> reporter: behind the anger there is fear that this is the beginning of another cycle of violence kurdish forces say they expect enter the town of sinjar soon as they attempt to take it from i.s.i.l. it has launched an offence to
