Yes, this was a secretive trial, controlled by the militaryjunta. this is essentially a battle between democracy and the generals who control all power in burma, in myanmar as it now is called, but it was burma when they took over back in 1962. but youre absolutely right that the shine has rather come off aung san suu kyi. shes still a hero to many, many people in her country, but when she was briefly in power, she defended the actions of the military, who carried out appalling atrocities on the...

Rulers, though, is unclear. joining me now is our security correspondent, frank gardner. the picture in myanmar is grim, to say the least. this reinforces, i suppose, the determination of the regime that took power by force nearly two years ago now to silence for a very long time, if not for good, somebody who was a symbol of democratic myanmar? yes. good, somebody who was a symbol of democratic myanmar?— democratic myanmar? yes, it is very depressing. — democratic myanmar? yes, it is very d...

Global community, but there was a coup in debris 2021, during that coup in debris 2021, during that coup she was arrested and all these charges were laid against her and as you heard their thousands have been arrested. what this basically means is that myanmar is turning in on itself, it is becoming more and more isolated globally and they will be a call for an increase in sanctions. amnesty international, for example, have called these charges and these verdicts unfair, politically motivated an...

Last week, the un security council called on the military government to release ms suu kyi in its first ever resolution on myanmar since she was ousted in a coup in 2021. how much weight that will carry, if any, frankly, with myanmar�*s military rulers, though, is unclear. earlier, our security correspondent frank gardner said the development was worrying for myanmar. its very depressing, i think, for the democracy movement in that country, because there was a brief fluttering, a brief floweri...

And what this basically means is that myanmar is turning in on itself. its becoming more and more isolated, globally. and there will be a call for an increase in sanctions. amnesty international, for example, have called these charges and these verdicts unfair, politically motivated and totally lacking in transparency. i dont think the generals really care. they simply want to silence somebody that they feel is a threat to their rule. and if her appeal is not successful, then this is effectively...

So whats the conversation in the soho offices of private eye? youve got war in europe for the first time in decades and youve got to get a laugh out of it, and you did, but you focused not on president zelensky but his rival and his antagonist, president putin. just talk us through that front page. i mean, you know, there is nothing new in...in black humour, particularly when applied to russia. i mean, theyre very good at it themselves with their own leaders, um, and putin went into the war on a...

In prison till shes 110, if she lives that long. so its a pretty grim, bleak outlook for democracy. do you think, frank, that tells us something about how the military might still see her as a potential threat? 0h, shes definitely a threat to them because however shes regarded outside the borders of myanmar and the rest of myanmar in the rest of the world, she is hugely popular in the country. she won a landslide victoryjust less than a couple of years ago and thats a threat to the generals, who...

Disruption, so this is going to take an extraordinary level of effort by southwest and we will mount an extraordinary effort to make sure that they are meeting their obligations. >> rachel: pete has no experience. a couple years ago he was a mayor in indiana. and now he is in charge of all of americaens airports. buttigieg knew this was come and did he nothing. four months ago a dozen attorney generals wrote to congress how pete buttigieg wasnt doing enough. they warned that our airline infrastr...

Wrote . they were so outraged that they called on congress to strip the department of transport and of the ability to oversee customer complaints against the airlines and awarded it to the states themselves. the its not hard to see why those attorneys generals were so furious without reliable air travel, the economy collapses and marape was knowing the problem. he was able to do that because despite his fixation on climate change, boota judge flies everywhere on private jet with striking is how ...

Make mistakes. i have to admit on national television for the country to see and i have the courage to do so because i believe in order to move past this and move forward and be an effective member of congress i have to face my mistakes. >> rich: do you think he can fade into the background and show up to committee hearings and serve this term? >> it will be difficult. those investigations from various states and county attorney generals and the district attorneys will go ongoing. one thing to l...
