Up to 10,000 Burmese Buddhist monks and civilians have defied police tear gas and live bullets on the ninth day of protests against the military rulers.
At least one monk was killed, hospital sources in the main city of Rangoon said. The government has confirmed one death, without giving details.
Witnesses described monks with blood on their shaved heads as police charged at the Shwedagon pagoda in Rangoon. Meanwhile, the UN said it was sending a special adviser on Burma to the region.

The six o clock news also said that Britain and France have demanded a UN meeting which is going to be held around 8PM New York Time, but Russia and China has resisted the call for a meeting. Do these two countries support the uprising? Nooo never
What gets me is that 5000 people can protest against the government in Burma and every nation gets up and shouts, and yet 2 million people can protest at this Government over,for example, road pricing, and Labour turned round and give us the good old \/ sign and thats the end of it.
Democracy is brilliant isnt it ladies and gentleman?
