president thein sein says this time things will be different. he's promised a peaceful transfer of power. voters are hoping he will honor his word. one reason why the military appears to be taking the ruling party's historic defeat calmly in both constitutional provisions. they effectively allow the military to hold sway over politics. the military draft the constitution. it stipulates that three top cabinet posts -- the ministers of defense, home affairs and border affairs -- be held by members of the military. they can also retake control of the government in certain situations. any change to the constitution requires the support of more than 75% of members of parliament. but 25% of its seats are reserved for the military. aung san suu kyi now faces a tough job building a positive working relationship with the military. they agreed to hold a meeting with president thein sein and the military chief. aung san suu kyi is effectively barred by the constitution from becoming president. that is because people with foreign nationals in their family a

diplomat you cannily, we're working on a political transition noo sein syria. i commend the work done by the ministers to work on the timeline that will lead to a cease-fire as quickly as possible. and to lead to bashar al assad's departure. we cannot imagine the syrians getting together, gathering round the leader who is responsible for some of the most of 300,000 deaths in a few years. so, a government ofunity is required. that would lead to assad's departure. the crisis is relevant to europe. given the terrorist threat. but also because there are millions of refugees fleeing the regime's bombs and atrocities. if we were to abandon them, it would betray who we are. i reject identifying migration and terrorism. at the same time, we must conform the borders. today, people are risking their lives to flee. when they travel between turkey and greece. turkey, therefore, plays an important role. it is together, with turkey, that we must find solutions. so other refugees can stay close to their country of origin. and we need to make sure that the required controls, t

is the party of president thein sein likely to be sacked by voters for those reforms this weekend? mael: the answer to the second question is definitely no. the people of burma are not grateful to the government at all. they see them as being the continuation of the same military rule that devastated the country for 60 years now. it is very unlikely that the p. would gain that many seats on sunday. for the other part of the is --on, i think burma are you here? tom: yes, we can hear you. please go ahead. mael: for the first question, i tonk the elections are going continue the reforms that started in 2011, and some of them are meaningful in the. for example, the press freedom has improved tremendously in burma since 2011. you have to remember that only in 2007 when the revolution took place, the army and the police in the streets and other places in burma. now you have a free press able to cover any incidents that would take place anywhere in the country. the education reform is leading the country on a path towards a better education system. some of the economic reforms have been p

this is the 10th and 11th for those familiar with the city of paris, that would be north of the river seine and to the east. we've been told there's gunfire at a third location. casualty numbers at this early hours will all be wrong but french police are reporting that many people have been killed likely somewhere over a dozen. we want to emphasize that we do not know what the casualty numbers could be. all of this has been unfolding over the last hour or so in the french capitol. we have our cbs news reporter elaine cobb on the phone with us from paris. elaine, what are you hearing? >> scott, as you said, this is all unfolding and is very confusing. police are now saying there are at least 18 people dead, more are injured. they believe 15 people were killed on an attack on the bataclan concert hall. we're hearing there's a hostage situation under way at the concert hall. now there was also an explosion at the stade da stade de franceg on between germany and france. the president was immediately evacuated. he's meeting now with his ministers, particularly the interior minister to see what c

also this viewer video from erika cabrera focuses in and it should move to this seine in just a moment. focuses in on that fire of the school bus crash. that's what we're hearing from authorities and this intend fire, these intense flames you see right here. it's incredible that no other drivers were injured the bus driver wasn't injured. at this point we have one officer in the hospital but doing okay. we understand he is alert and conscious and he spoke to the mayor, he spoke to d.a. seth williams and, of course, other state police officials who have come here to this scene. something i've been thinking about watching this coverage is how state police are just getting over a major tragedy last year with the shooting death of one of their own in pike county during that ambush so the state police department has been on edge but in this case is good news is that this state trooper was able to get to the hospital very quickly. this crash right here is just before the broad street exit on the eastbound side on the vine street expressway so very close to hahnemann hospital. as soon as you

television reports several dead in the restaurant shooting which is on the right bank of the river seineis also not far from where the two main rail stations are. at the stadium de france north of paris, 30 minutes, i believe, north of paris, mr. hollande has been evacuated and the interior minister who were both attending that particular match have been evacuated and headed back towards the interior ministry to coordinate the events. it is an active situation in both areas. officials right now are trying to get the latest developments to the news media. police are just basically saying there are probably three, but there may be more incidents going on in paris right now. so we're monitoring the situation, kelly, but just -- if we could go back to that live feed, you can see just a short while ago you actually saw police walking down the sidewalk in paris, guns drawn, and so it's still an active situation. there is one report out there that police have said that people should stay inside. that has not been confirmed by nbc news at this point, kelly, but right now we have at least two, po
