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.

Our guest editor John Bercow spoke to Aung San Suu Kyi down the line from her home in Yangon, also known as Rangoon and started by asking her how reforms have proceeded since 2012.
