European observe erbs say myanmars historic election was generally transparent, but more reforms are needed. The monitors praised the election but raised concerns about the low number of muslim candidates and the aversion of women in policy particular. The final result isnt expected for days, but early indications say a land slade for the nrc party led by aung san suu kyi. This is a historic juncture in the country of myanmar. This is a remarkable process, the First Nationwide competitive elections in 25 years, and it was remarkable how many people turned out peacefully in large numbers to participate in this process. The process went better than many expected beforehand wayne a joins us from yangon. The process was better than expected but the vote counting is a very slow process. Give us the latest on the results. Reporter yes. It is a very slow process, painfulfully slow, im sure painfully eslow and particular for the leader of the n. L. D. , aung san suu kyi. Im sure she would like it sped up. She is holidayed up in her hold up in her holed up in her home as the results trickle through. 52 out of the 63 seats announced so far are in the lower house of parliament have gone to the n. L. D. So were very early days. Theres many more seats to be announced, but it is looking very good for the n. L. D. So far. The reason its so slow, i guess, its an antiquated process. Were not used to having elections in here, given not long out of 50 years of military rule. So many turned out to vote from the e. U. Person there, some 80 of the elector eight turned out to vote. So many polling stations around this country. Its a slow process and we will continue to get those official announcements e. U. Is saying that the election was generally transparent, but they did have some concerns over candidatess in the political process and they want to sea some changes. See some changess. Reporter yes. Thats right. I think the over riding theme was that this was a far from perfect process, but myanmar has come a long way is what they said. They have some concerns about voter registration, about advanced voting processes that have also raised some concerns from within the n. L. D. As well. They have, in fact, launched a couple of official protests with the electoral condition to deal with that advanced voter process, as well as some of the candidates. As you mentioned, the e. U. Not happy with a lack of female women, canned daylights, a lack of muslim candidates and concerns about the process from here on in. Of course, 25 of the seats in the upper and lower houses of parliament are reserved for the military. It has expressed concern about that and it says that it wants that to change. It believes that there should be at least one of those houses of parliament should be made up completely of eau elected mps in the near future, so doing away with those military seats, but to do that the n. L. D. , if it does go on to win this election, will need to change the constitution and the military is guaranteed veto power over any changes to the constitution. That will be a very difficult task indeed thank you for that. Wayne hey there.

After months by protest and calls for resignation, the president of the University University of missouri stood down. Several races incidents on campus. It was only when black players on the Football Team took a stand that he decided to step down. Reporter it was a great victory for the nationwide activism that has intensified since the shooting of a teenager in 2014. About two hours east of the this campus. Im resigning as president of the university of missouri system. The motivation in making this decision comes from love. Reporter weeks of protests over what was perceived as fish indifference to campus racism, from racial slurs. Even when a graduate student had a hunger strike, there was only little reaction. There was a response from the missouri tigers, the universitys Football Team. Many of the players, star athletes, went on strike. They were soon joined by their white team mates and had the support of their cache. I coach. I did the right thing and i would do it again. Reporter its estimated that millions of dollars would have been lost had the tigers not played their match on saturday, both in fines and lost revenue to the local economy. The university hired former tim wolfe to run the University Like a business, to slash student welfare costs and increase revenue. Clearly the potential loss of money contributed to the boards decision that wolfe had to go, but it was the campus protests that got the tigers to act. There is so much struggle on campus but the administration refused to step in to make sure that all students are feeling safe and included on this campus. Reporter this is a victory based on protest, solidarity and big money. However, the fight here is not over yet israeli Prime Minister netanyahu and obama have met for the First Time Since world powers reached a nuclear deal with iran. The talks are in an attempt to move past sdpreements and how to make israel feel more secure. They tried to send a message of unity on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. We condemn in the strongsest terms palestinian violence against innocent Israeli Citizens and i want to repeat once again it is my strong belief that israel has not just the right but the obligation to protect itself. We will never give up our hope for peace. I remain committed to a vision of peace for two states for two peoples, a palestinian state that recognised the jewish state jonathan, author of the israeli conflict in the american culture, good to have you here. What really came out of this meeting, do you think . It was mostly about showing that the two countries are still strong friends and good allies. Yes. I think thats exactly what both sides wanted. After the big diplomatic and political fight over the iran deal, both the United States and israel both obama and netanyahu wanted to show that they remained strong friends and allies. The relationship is unbreakable and unshakeable there has been so much tension hasnt there. I think the big idea for both of them is we have a quite long delay, so i apologise for interrupting you. Yes. I think thats the point that they okay. The key thing with the iran deal is that both sides didnt want to send the impression to americas owe opponents in the region and israels opponents in the region that somehow the two are not on the same page. They wanted to show that on security, on strategic issues, that theyre on the same page, military israel is going to increase, defensive weapon sales to israel, intelligence cooperation is going to be upgraded, and also you have to remember that despite the tensions, israel remains popular in the u. S. And also in the democratic party, and for israelis the relationship with america is critical. So netanyahu also wants to show that he remains with the support of the United States okay. Well, netanyahu also gave assurances that he is still committed to a two state solution to the israelipalestinian conflict. Does he really believe that or is he just waiting until Obama Leaves Office and hopes that the next president will back him a bit more . Well, i think that for neither side the issue of israeli before palestinian negotiations is key. What obama wanted was to main obtain the option, the possibility of a twostate solution and netanyahu affirmed that. I dont think he has a particular problem with that. I just think he feels that now is not the time, and i think from the American Point of view theres always been a suspicious of netanyahu, but 18 months ago when the negotiations broke down, there was a sense that abbas was equally to blame for it, and so simply the president doesnt feel theres a great opportunity to move forward now, and what he is asking of israel is simply to dont do anything that makes it worse. Dont expand settlements and be careful how you manage security challenges. I think, therefore, its much less of an issue than it was before, despite the fact that the two sides do have very different visions of what should emerge jonathan, thank you very much indeed for that. Good tov you with us. Live from telaviv u. S. President obama says a full investigation is underway after two u. S. Citizens were shot dead at a Police Training center in jordan.

N. s Weather Agency says the concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere reached record levels in 2014. The World Meterological Organisation is saying the planet is facing a permanent reality as these levels are likely to be higher next year. Chinas role will be key at the upcoming paris climbate talks. Its commitment to be crucial. Reporter on a day like this you need no reminder that china is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses from coal, but the situation in the northeast of the country is much worse than here in beijing which is already pretty bad today, as you can see. There air pollution levels have been breaking all records in the Industry City of shang yang on saturday, the air quality index stood at 400. Anything above 200 is considered to be very unhealthy indeed. That gives you a clear indication of justify how hazardous the air is in some parts of china. The reasons, well, chinas continuing love affair with the car and, of course, the countrys continued dependency on coal. It now accounts for 60 of this countrys energy consumption. Now, complicating things ahead of the paris talks is the fact that new data released during the past few days shows that china has been burning 17 more coal each year than previously disclosed. Now, the reason that matters is this china has given a public declaration that would halt the growth in its Carbon Dioxide emissions by 2030 and scientists now believe its going to struggle to meet that thargt. At the talks in paris, though, china will want to talk about some of the progress it has made in fighting pollution, particularly the billions it has spent on solar and Hydro Power Technology a controversial show using a killer whal elizabeth in sand diego is to be phased out by 017.

It made some pretty serious allegations about how ochars are treated in captivity. Since that was released, attendance in some places in some states has drastically dropped. That has affected share prices and clearly sea world wants to be seen as an Educational Organisation rather than one that entertains people, but organisers or activists say theyre not happy with this.
