Myanmar's National League for Democracy (NLD) has named its candidates to be president, confirming that its leader Aung San Suu Kyi is not a contender. Ms Suu Kyi failed to persuade the military to allow a clause barring her from the presidency to be overruled. Under the clause she cannot be leader as her sons are British, not Burmese. But she has vowed to lead from the sidelines instead. The candidate thought most likely to become president, Htin Kyaw, is a close aide. The NLD, which won a landslide in November, has named Htin Kyaw as its lower house nominee for vice president, and Henry Van Thio, an MP from the Chin ethnic minority, as its upper house nominee. Both houses will choose between the NLD's candidates and those from other parties, but because the NLD holds a majority in both houses, its candidates are likely to be chosen. The winner from each house will then enter a second vote to decide the president of the country. A military nominated candidate will also compete in this vote. The two losing candidates will become vice-presidents. It is not clear when the votes will take place. Correspondents say Htin Kyaw is almost certain to be elected president by the NLD-controlled parliament. She tried right to the last. But there was no deal. Despite a huge win in the election, Aung San Suu Kyi failed to convince the army that her destiny was the presidency. Clause 59F of the constitution which bars her because her sons have British not Burmese passports remains in place, and she has now chosen someone else. It's Htin Kyaw, who she's known all her life. He's a committed member of the party and was by her side when Ms Suu Kyi was released from house arrest in 2010. His most important quality may be the ability to take orders. Aung San Suu Kyi has made it clear that though she does not have the title - she will still be in charge. The NLD won the majority of non-military seats available in parliament in last year's historic general election, although the army - which still controls a quarter of all parliamentary seats and key security ministries - remains a significant force in Burmese politics. The new government will take power on 1 April - the first freely elected government after more than 50 years of military rule and then five years of military-backed civilian government.

Having high-protein foods makes you feel fuller between meals, an important factor that can ultimately help you reduce overall calorie consumption and reduce weight, suggests new research. Higher protein loads have a greater effect on fullness than lower protein loads, showed the findings of the study, thereby confirming a long-held belief that protein intake impacts satiety. “Though this study did not specifically evaluate dieters, feeling fuller could help to reduce food intake, an important factor when dieting,” said lead investigator Richard Mattes, professor at Purdue University in Indiana, US. “If these effects are sustained over the long-term — and our study only looked at short-term effects — increased protein intake may aid in the loss or maintenance of body weight,” Mattes noted. High protein foods include eggs, meat, fish, tofu, beans, lentils, yogurt, and nuts, among several other food items. In this study, researchers conducted a systematic review of the evidence on the effect of protein intake on perceived fullness and confirmed that protein does, in fact, make us feel fuller. “A good deal of evidence suggests that protein activates satiety hormone release and so should be most strongly tied with fullness ratings,” Mattes noted. “But individual studies are often conducted in small po[CENSORED]tions or with different approaches that can make interpretation of results challenging. Our study combined multiple experiments to confirm the presence of an effect,” Mattes pointed out. With the confirmation that protein intake is related to satiety, defined as fullness between meals, modestly higher protein intake may allow individuals to feel fuller between meals. Yet, while protein may help dieters feel fuller, it is by no means a magic bullet, the researchers cautioned. “Feelings like hunger and fullness are not the only factors that influence intake. We often eat for other reasons. Anyone who has ever felt too full to finish their meal but has room for dessert knows this all too well,” Mattes explained. “The exact amount of protein needed to prolong fullness as well as when to consume protein throughout the day is not resolved, and our study did not determine this,” Heather Leidy, assistant professor at University of Missouri, said. So while the researchers encourage the public not to consume protein to the point of excess, the study suggests that people looking to moderate their energy intake by enhancing the sensation of fullness might consider a moderate increment in protein consumption as a first step.

European Union leaders are holding a key summit with Turkey in Brussels on ways of dealing with Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War Two. The EU is pressing Turkey, through which many migrants transit, to take some back in return for $3.3bn in aid. The Turkish government is asking for the sum to be doubled. The talks are being extended into a working dinner. Meanwhile Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the EU of failing to deliver on the promised aid. "It's been four months," Mr Erdogan said in Ankara. "My prime minister is currently in Brussels. I hope he will return with the money." Turkey is currently sheltering more than 2.7 million refugees from the civil war in neighbouring Syria. The EU wants Turkey to take back migrants who do not qualify for asylum and do more to patrol its own waters. In exchange for this, the Turkish government is asking for the EU to increase its pledge to €6bn ($6.6bn; £4.64bn), European Parliament President Martin Schulz said. Turkey is also seeking a faster path towards EU membership and the speeding up of plans to allow Turks visa-free travel in Europe. Last year, more than a million people entered the EU illegally by boat, mainly going from Turkey to Greece. Many migrants leave Greece in an attempt to reach northern Europe, but eight countries have introduced temporary border controls. Some 13,000 migrants are currently stranded in northern Greece, after Macedonia closed its border to all but a trickle. The [CENSORED]ure of the Schengen agreement - which allows passport-free travel in a 26-nation zone - is on the agenda, as the leaders are anxious to save a system thought to bring billions of euros to Europe's economy every year. 'Solid opt-out' After the talks started on Monday, the EU announced that an unscheduled working dinner would be held to discuss "new ideas" offered by Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. Earlier, Mr Davutoglu said Turkey was "indispensable" for the EU, just as Europe was for Turkey. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she anticipated a "difficult discussion", as a rift emerged among EU powers on the closure of the main route through the Balkans. A draft summit communique reported by journalists on Sunday declared that "irregular flows of migrants along the Western Balkans are coming to an end; this route is closed". But Mrs Merkel said: "Today is about finding a lasting solution together with Turkey... trying to find a way to stop illegal migration and improving the living conditions for the refugees." A German government source told the BBC there was no point saying the route was closed when 300-500 people still arrived in Germany every day this way. This summit has hardly started and already it has been extended. There will be a second session with Prime Minister Davutoglu and all 28 EU leaders over dinner. The EU is asking for a lot from Turkey, and Turkey is now asking for more in return. Hence the irony that the fate of the EU's migration policy, and its [CENSORED]ure cohesion, lies in the hands of a country it has been keeping at arms length for years. Without active Turkish co-operation, there is no chance of reducing the flow of refugees and migrants arriving in the Greek islands. And without that happening, the rest of the policy starts falling to pieces. UK PM David Cameron said there was "no prospect of Britain joining a common asylum process in Europe". "We have an absolutely rock-solid opt-out from these things," he said. The EU said last October it would relocate 160,000 asylum seekers, mainly from Greece and Italy, but there was strong opposition among some members and fewer than 700 migrants have moved.

Feeling more forgetful these days? It may be due to prolonged stress US researchers have found there is a relationship between prolonged stress and memory loss. The results of the study showed that those who were repeatedly exposed to stress had a trouble with spatial memory. Also, long-term stress may lead to social avoidance — which measures depressive behaviour that continued after four weeks of monitoring. Further, the researchers found measurable changes in brains — including evidence of inflammation brought on by the immune system’s response to the outside pressure brought in by unrelenting stress. The stress may include repeated, long-term mental assault — such as being sustained by bullying victims, soldiers and those who report to beastly bosses, the researchers said. In the study — conducted on mice — repetitive visits by a larger and more nasty intruder mouse caused stress. Those mice who were continually exposed to an aggressive intruder had a hard time recalling where the escape hole was in a maze that they had mastered prior to the stressful period. “The stressed mice didn’t recall it. The mice that weren’t stressed, they really remembered it,” said lead researcher Jonathan Godbout, associate professor at the Ohio State University in US. The analysis sought to uncover the secrets behind stress and mood problems with a long-range goal of finding ways to help those who are anxious, depressed and suffer from lasting problems — including post-traumatic stress disorder — the researchers concluded in the study published in The Journal of Neuroscience.

South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been denied leave to appeal against his conviction for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The Constitutional Court has made the ruling, meaning Pistorius will now be sentenced in April. Pistorius killed Ms Steenkamp in February 2013 after firing four times through a locked toilet door. A manslaughter verdict was overturned in December and a murder verdict introduced in its place. Oscar Pistorius, fallen hero Analysis: Justice served South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said the Constitutional Court found "no prospect of success" in Pistorius' appeal. The case will now go back to Judge Thokozile Masipa - who cleared the athlete of murder in the original case - for sentencing on 18 April. Prosecutors are believed to be targeting a sentence of at least 15 years in jail for Pistorius. This is the end of the road for Oscar Pistorius. The Constitutional Court was his last chance to overturn his murder conviction. Many in the country felt that judge Thokozile Masipa had erred when she convicted him of a lesser charge, but some still believed Pistorius had not intended to kill anyone, let alone Reeva Steenkamp. Now a full bench of the country's most powerful judges has ruled that Pistorius' latest bid has no chance of succeeding. The next step now is for the two legal teams to present their arguments about the length of his sentence - and the state wants no less than 15 years. He is currently under house arrest after spending one year of his original five-year sentence in jail. In December, South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that the lower court under Judge Masipa had not applied correctly the rule of dolus eventualis - whether Pistorius knew that a death would be a likely result of his actions. Justice Eric Leach said that having armed himself with a high-calibre weapon, Pistorius must have foreseen that whoever was behind the door might die, especially given his firearms training. Pistorius has always maintained he believed he was shooting at an intruder.

Honda Civic hatchback prototype goes green in Geneva The sweet Honda Civic hatchback returned at the Geneva motor show on Tuesday. It’s just a prototype for now, but it’s one of those concepts that we hope swings through the process with few changes before it gets to production. That production version, Honda says, will be about an inch wider, an inch lower and 5 inches longer than the standard car. And we’re assuming it will have a lot more storage space to boot. The green brake calipers and dual central exhaust, unfortunately, probably won’t make it to the dealership. “We knew that we needed to create a striking and stand-out exterior design that challenged conventional European compact styling while staying true to the original Civic’s core values,” said Daisuke Tsutamori, project leader for the 10th generation Civic. “It’s a marriage of distinctive and sporty design, rewarding driving dynamics and versatile practicality.” The 10th-gen Civic hatch will get a European launch in early 2017 and will be exported globally later. We’ll get a closer look at the New York auto show, where the Civic prototype is headed next.

Candidates bidding for their party's nomination in the US presidential election face their biggest test yet in the "Super Tuesday" primary polls. Eleven states cast votes for candidates from either the Republican or Democratic parties or both in a contest seen as make-or-break for the hopefuls. Contests stretch from Vermont in the east to Texas and Georgia in the south. Donald Trump leads the Republican field and Hillary Clinton is ahead in the Democratic race. There have been earlier votes in four states. The first Super Tuesday polls opened in Virginia at 06:00 local time (11:00 GMT). Senator Ted Cruz cannot afford to lose to Mr Trump in Texas, Mr Cruz's home state, while a reverse for Mr Trump in Massachusetts, with its moderate voters, could break the property tycoon's nationwide momentum. Mrs Clinton is hoping to build on her weekend victory in South Carolina, where she polled heavily among African-Americans, to restore her political fortunes after a bruising defeat in New Hampshire to Bernie Sanders, her self-styled democratic socialist rival. On 8 November, America is due to elect a successor to Barack Obama, a Democratic president standing down after two terms in office which have seen the Republicans take control of both houses of Congress. Opinion polls give Mr Trump a lead in almost all of the 11 states holding Republican contests on Tuesday: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Alaska and Minnesota. The colourful campaign of the billionaire, who won three of the four early voting states, has divided Republicans. On the eve of the polls, Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse became the highest-ranked elected party member to come out and say he would not back him for president. He said he was "frustrated and saddened" and would look for a third option if Mr Trump won the Republican nomination. Marco Rubio, the third-placed Republican contender after Mr Trump and Mr Cruz, is hoping to stay competitive, gambling on a win in his home state of Florida on 15 March. Mr Trump's commitment to several controversial immigration pledges, including the wholesale deportation of illegal immigrants and construction of a wall along the US-Mexico border, was called into question on Monday after reports describing an off-the-record conversation with the New York Times editorial board. Mr Cruz, Mr Rubio and former Republican candidate Mitt Romney have called on Mr Trump to authorise the release of the transcript, in which Mr Trump reportedly says his hardline immigration policies would be flexible if he were elected. Mr Trump also faced heavy criticism over his failure to disavow David Duke, a leader of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan, who has endorsed the Republican candidate. Protesters, including some from the Black Lives Matter movement, repeatedly disrupted a Trump rally in Radford, Virginia, on Monday after his refusal to condemn Mr Duke. On Tuesday, Mr Trump said he had on several occasions in the past disavowed Mr Duke. Mr Trump told ABC: "There's nobody who's done so much for equality as I have." Democratic race Democrats are voting in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and Minnesota, as well as in the US territory of American Samoa. Democrats abroad will also submit their votes. There is also a caucus in Colorado, but the vote then goes to a state convention. Mrs Clinton is eyeing black voters in places like Alabama, Georgia and Virginia after taking eight out of 10 black votes in South Carolina. Bernie Sanders voted early in his home state of Vermont. He told reporters that if turnout was high "we are going to do well. If not, we're probably going to be struggling". But he pledged: "This is a campaign that is going to the Philadelphia convention in July."
