death a big day in myanmar this wednesday after more than 50 years of military rule the reins of power have been passed to the civilian government. htin kyaw was sworn in as president. aung san suu kyi has been sworn in as minister of foreign affairs. our correspondent is there. it is a landmark event. the moment itself in parliament was quite short, but a huge amount in the country's history. >> reporter: definitely an historical day in myanmar, the first civilian elected presidential in half a century and that president tin has just made his first formal speech. it was very promising. there were big nouments in that speech. he said he will try to--

announcements in that speech. he said he will make an establishment of a democratic federal union which means there will be a federation here in myanmar in the future to work on peace and national reconciliation. he said that was very important. what he is trying to do in the beginning will be to bring peace to the states that are currently still in conflict with the military, with the ethnic minorities. changing the constitution will be the hardest part. that's why he asked to be patient. he asked the people to be patient because it will need the support of the military to change that constitution that was established no 2008 by the military did he sound like his own man because people are suggesting that aung san suu kyi is the president in everything but name, but does it sound like

he was leading himself? >> reporter: no. it's very clear he said in his speech that the new government is based on the principles of aung san suu kyi which means that it's all her idea. aung san suu kyi was inaugust rated for four ministries. on she is now the foreign minister, the education minister, energy minister and also the special minister to the president, which gives her a very powerful position. she is some kind of super minister and her position as the foreign minister gives her a seat in the national council for defense and security. that is where she will have to deal very closely with the military. there is no doubt about it. the people here see her basically as the de facto president here in the country thank you for that. we're going to speak to an

independent south-east asia specialist. what do you think about that, that people see aung san suu kyi as their president. does it not undermine htin kyaw? >> it's difficult to say. she has been calling the shots now for some time as party head. she made it clear that she would be in power even if not normalally in-- formally in office. the office of the president and the foreign ministry were fore gone conclusions, but when you look at education, energy and electricity, she is signalling the areas that are most important to her, deliverables for the n.l.d. when you look at education with the former military government did to gut the educational system in myanmar, and looking at the fact that power outages are still common and much of the country remains off the grid, these are areas she can deliver upon

the foreign minister in any country is an important portfolio, but also with issues such as rohinga muslims, how will she deal with that some snichlt there is a lot to be desired. she will be able to represent the country and president abroad, but it is a question, which part of the international community will win out. tlels a western contingent led by the u.s., european union, australia, that has been pushing her to stand up for their rights. people forget that the russians and chinese are leading the other side of the community's camp and those countries and that side of the international community isn't interested in those issues. it will be a competition internationally in that it may turn on whether or not she is able to assert her ways in ways that she has refused to do so what about the expectations

of the people, they will be feeling about the future-- excited about the future and they don't know how much influence they will have >> the military has the portfolio that the cabinet positions that it holds most near and dear that it has always held. to be in opposition as the n.l.d. was for many years is a privileged position because the opposition is not held to account for things that it has done and not done. in that sense the people are extremely hopeful, but as the months and years tick by, the n.l.d. will be held to account in a way that the military wasn't and it could help or hurt it when the next election comes up thank you for that. moving to pakistan where the protests by supporters of the executed man continues after two

man. this was outside of islamabad. the punjab government gave them the ok to go ahead as long as after that wake was held, people mourning his death would simply disburse and go home. that didn't happen. they were able to would you being to constitutional avenue and towards the parliament-- to walk towards the parliament. we're now left with about 1500 to 2000 protesters. the government says there will be an inquiry as to how this happened braz imembattled president dilma rousseff has suffered
