The first American aid flight
to Burma, following the
devastating cyclone nine days
ago, has arrived from
neighbouring Thailand after
protracted negotiations with
Burma's military government.
As it was beginning its
journey, the US ambassador to
Thailand, Eric Johns, revealed
that China and the ASEAN
countries were all urging
Burma's generals to accept
more relief supplies.
