Brown condemns 'inhuman' junta

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has accused Burma's government of "inhuman" treatment of Cyclone Nargis survivors for its refusal to allow aid to get through.

Mr Brown said the military junta should be held to account for its "negligence" and warned the disaster, which is estimated to have claimed more than 100,000 lives, was in danger of becoming a "man-made catastrophe".

In an interview for the BBC World Service, the Prime Minister said Burma's ruling generals would be judged by the world and their own people for thwarting the assistance offered by the rest of the world.
