from National Public Radio

Myanmar's military government is allowing United Nations officials, including Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, to tour this week the southern delta region flooded by a devastating cyclone. However, the regime continues to resist large-scale foreign aid for the hundreds of thousands of survivors.

NPR's Michael Sullivan, who spent time in Myanmar following Cyclone Nargis, talks with Steve Inskeep from Bangkok, Thailand.
