BBC interview with Mike Canning, UK Ambassador to Burma, who was allowed to enter the trial yesterday.
Salient points are the Aung San Suu Kyi is looking confident and "crackling with energy"; that she hoped to see the attending diplomats in "better times"; that Aung San Suu Kyi met three ambassadors from Russia, Thailand and Singapore (Russia is chair of the UNSC, Thailand Chair of ASEAN and Singapore has the longest serving ambassador in Burma and is considered the "Dean" of the dip. corps there); that there is no suggestion diplomats will be allowed in again; finally, the access given to the diplomats was a "concession".
