Burmese military, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi meet again

The detained pro-democracy leader in Burma, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, has held another meeting with a representative of the military government.

She was taken from her home in the capital, Rangoon, to a government guest house for the talks, which lasted about an hour.

No announcement was made ahead of the meeting and no details of the discussions were given afterwards.

It's the fourth such meeting since the ruling military council agreed -- under international pressure -- to talk to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, after the anti-government protests last September. The BBC south-east Asia correspondent says little has come out of the meetings so far.
