Myanmar is counting votes from the weekend elections, the country's first openly contested ballot in 25 years.  Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) is expected to win the most parliamentary seats; although she is barred from the presidency, Suu Kyi has vowed to at least strongly influence government by setting the party's policies.  A quarter of Myanmar's parliamentary are set aside for members of the military, and those MPs are expected to back the military-backed Union Solidarity Development Party (USDP), which has been in power since 2011.  Still, the chief of the army says there will be no repeat of the 1999 election in which the military refused to honor the results and seized power.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his governing BJP party suffered a big setback in regional elections in the eastern state of Bihar.  An alliance of the Congress Party and regional parties took 178 seats out of 243, campaigning on positive messages of Feminism, Secularism, and Socialism - and against Modi's economic program.  It thwarts the Hindu Nationalist BJP desires to take control of the upper house of parliament. 

Egypt's military intelligence detained one of the country's top investigative journalists, charging 36-year old Hossam Bahgat with insulting the military and publishing false news - the same bogus charge used on Australian journo Peter Greste.  Amnesty International's Philip Luther calls it "yet another nail in the coffin for freedom of expression in Egypt".  Bahgat had earlier reported that a general released dangerous jihadists from prison, and blamed it on former president Mohamed Morsi of the now-banned Muslim Brotherhood.  The military ousted Morsi in a popular coup in 2011.

Russia says it has engaged special flights to fly more than 11,000 of its tourists out of the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh.  Moscow on Friday cancelled commercial flights to and from the place, after initially criticizing the UK for doing the same thing.  The UK has repatriated more than 3,000.  Western intelligence sources have warned that a bomb might have brought down Russia's MetroJet Flight 7G9628, killing all 224 people on board.

The 89-year old founder of Argentina's "Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo", after a search that took almost four decades.  Delia Giovanola says the man - named Martin - was born in 1976 in the concentration camp where the US-backed, right-wing junta had imprisoned his Leftist activist parents.  Their bodies were never found; and like too many others, the baby was stolen and given to military officers or government loyalists to raise as their own.  "Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo" has reunited 118 grandchildren with their families.

Hey Sexy Lady, Seoul's most famous neighborhood is getting a monument to itself.  2012's "Gangnam Style" is the most-watched video on YouTube.  A giant metal sculpture depicting two fists overlapped in the style of the song's "horse-riding" dance will be built outside the shopping mall where part of Psy's video was shot.  "Tourists can take pictures under the statue and the song will play automatically when you stand there," said Gangnam tourism director Park Hee-Soo.
