three or four years ago there was a lot of hope in burma, but the trend in the last year and a half hasdedly negative, and i think the international community is starting to catch on to that and i think that's part of the reason we're seeing this statement from the high commissioner. so we really hope that pressure from the international community, including the u.n. and high commissioner can help turn around some of this negative trend. >> time for sport now. here is jo. >> thank you very much. afghanistan beat scotland in a thrilling game. richard parr reports. >> reporter: neither scotland nor afghanistan was to win at the world cup before so that was to change here. afghanistan took the wicket in just the end over. scotland were in trouble at 135 for 7. josh davie was one of four wickets. a nice wicket partnership helped scotland post 210, their highest-ever world cup total. it didn't look like afghanistan were going to be able to teach the arget, when they slumped at 97 for 7. but sammy steadies the run chase with 7 4s, and 5, 6s. eat went for afghanistan, 19 runs off of the target
