Guest editor John Bercow interviews Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Su Kyi
Concern has been growing in recent months over the pace of democratic reforms in Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Most political prisoners have now been released from jail and the former military dictatorship is due to hold it's second general election late next year. But in November opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, who was held under house arrest for many years, claimed that reforms have now stalled.
