Rousseff falls short of outright win in Brazil election

Brazil's presidential election will go to a second round after Dilma Rousseff failed to win an outright victory in Sunday's voting.

With 98% of votes counted, President Lula's former cabinet chief has 47% with Jose Serra trailing on 33%.
The two will contest a run-off vote in four weeks' time.
A strong showing by the Green Party candidate, Marina Silva, who polled 19%, may have cost Ms Rousseff a first-round win.
"We can confirm there will be a second round in the presidential elections," Ricardo Lewandowski, the president of the High Electoral Tribunal, told reporters in Brasilia late on Sunday.

Workers Party candidate Dilma Rousseff is the favoured successor to President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, who has completed two terms, and cannot run for a third.

Until just a few days ago, a second round had seemed unlikely. But Dilma Rousseff lost support late in the campaign.
The votes of the third-placed candidate will be crucial in deciding the outcome.
Marina Silva of the Green Party, a devout Christian, enjoyed a late surge in support - some of which appears to have come from evangelical Christians who turned away from Dilma Rousseff amid concerns about her stance on abortion.
Addressing supporters, Ms Rousseff said she welcomed the opportunity to explain her policies in more detail.

"We are warriors, and we are accustomed to challenges," she said in a speech in Brasilia after the result was announced. "We do well in second rounds."

Ms Rousseff was a front runner for much of the campaign and benefited from Mr Lula's widespread popularity and the country's booming economy.
Many analysts believe a scandal involving her directly would be the only scenario under which she could loose a runoff.
Boost "This is an electoral climate that favours the incumbent party," political analyst Luiz Piva told the Reuters news agency. "Brazilians are generally very happy with their government."
Centre-left candidate Jose Serra, the Social Democratic former governor of Sao Paulo state, had seen a boost in his support after corruption allegations surfaced involving a former aide of Ms Rousseff.
But Ms Silva seems to also have benefited. The third-place candidate's 19% share of the ballots was far higher than the 14% forecast for her.
"We defended a victorious idea and Brazil heard our cry," Ms Silva said in reaction to the result.
Brazil, one of the world's most populous democracies, was also choosing local and national representatives.
Voting is compulsory in Brazil, with results coming quickly, thanks to Brazil's electronic voting system.
Ms Rousseff, 62, served as Mr Lula's chief of staff from 2005 until this year, and is a career civil servant. Her tilt at the presidency is her first attempt at elected office.
During the 1960s and 1970s she was involved in the armed struggle against Brazil's military rulers, and was jailed for three years.
The 68-year-old Mr Serra is hugely experienced, having served as Sao Paulo mayor, Sao Paulo state governor and health minister under President Fernando Henrique Cardoso Mr Lula's predecessor. He lost the presidential election in a run-off to Mr Lula in 2002

Two Israeli troops guilty of using human shield in Gaza

An Israeli military court has convicted two Israeli soldiers for using a Palestinian child as a human shield during an offensive in Gaza in 2009.

The soldiers were found guilty of reckless endangerment and conduct unbecoming for forcing the nine-year-old boy to check suspected booby-traps.
It is reportedly the first such conviction in Israel - where the use of civilians as human shields is banned.
The sentencing will be decided at a later date, the court said.
No protection On Sunday, the southern command military court found the two Israeli soldiers guilty of "exceeding their authority to the point of endangering life" and conduct unbecoming in the incident in Gaza City's suburb of Tel al-Hawa on 15 January 2009.

A summary of the verdict said that - when rounding up residents of Tel al-Hawa - the soldiers came across bags in a home and ordered the Palestinian boy to search for suspected booby-traps.

"The boy, who feared for his fate and was under the stress of the situation, wet his pants," the three-judge panel wrote in the summary of the verdict.
"The court has noted that, unlike the soldiers, the child was, naturally, bereft of any form of protection."
However, the court acknowledged that at the time the soldiers - whose names have not been released - had been under "difficult and dangerous conditions".
The bags that the boy - identified only as Majd R - had checked did not have any hidden explosives and the child was later returned to his family unharmed.
Israel launched its Gaza offensive in December 2008, saying it was aimed at halting Palestinian rocket attacks from the territory controlled by militant Hamas movement.
Some 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed during the 22-day fighting.
Last year's report by UN investigator Richard Goldstone accused both Israel and Hamas of war crimes during the fighting.
