00:00Iceland has voted no in a referendum about resuming talks on joining the European Union
00:0613 years after they were first broken off.
00:09The death toll from devastating floods near the border between Nepal and China has risen
00:15to 750 with nearly 3,000 people missing.
00:21Iceland's No Camp has narrowly won a referendum on the country's suspended European Union
00:26membership negotiations.
00:28According to official figures, some 52.8% of the 225,031 votes cast had rejected the
00:37government's proposal, while 47.2% had said yes.
00:42Voter turnout stood at 82.5%, final results showed.
00:47The No Outcome will shelve the EU debate in Icelandic politics for at least two more years.
00:53After casting her ballot in the capital on Saturday, Prime Minister Kristian Frustadotir told reporters
01:00the referendum campaign has failed debate about Iceland's place in the world.
01:05Saturday's vote came in the shadow of US President Donald Trump's threats to control nearby Greenland.
01:12However, the debate in the island nation of almost 400,000 people centered mostly on its economic concerns with its
01:20fishing
01:21industry, rather than security concerns.
01:24Analysts say with fish and marine industries accounting for almost 40% of exports, many No voters fear they would
01:33cede some control of their
01:34lucrative fishing grounds under the EU's common fisheries policy.
01:39Despite the outcome, Iceland's relationship with Brussels wouldn't change.
01:43The country already participates in the European Economic Area and the passport-free Schengen Zone.
01:48Both arrangements stay intact.
01:53Authorities in Nepal have warned of potential new flooding and advised people living in flood-affected districts to stay vigilant,
02:00following an increase in the Botekoshi River's level.

02:32while Chinese authorities reported 16 deaths and 546 missing, including foreign nationals.

02:46catastrophic flooding and landslides, which buried villages and towns along the Trishuli and Potekoshi River systems.
03:00Voters in Guinea-Bissau went to the polls this Sunday for a referendum that could grant the president sweeping new
03:06powers,
03:07a vote held under a military junta that seized control in a coup less than 10 months ago.
03:12Turnout was low in some neighborhoods when polling stations opened at 7 a.m.
03:18The junta has already approved a constitutional amendment shifting the country from a parliamentary to a presidential system.
03:25Under the old system, the prime minister was chosen by a parliamentary majority,
03:29an arrangement that often led to power struggles.
03:33The new system would let the president appoint and dismiss the prime minister and cabinet and dissolve parliament.
03:39But the process is mired in controversy.
03:42The opposition says there was no public consultation and claims the amendment was already published in the official gazette
03:48before voters even went to the polls, prompting calls for a boycott.
03:53Polls closed at 5 p.m. and first results are expected on Tuesday.
