Cyclone death toll may top 100,000
More than 100,000 people are now thought to have perished in a powerful Cyclone which devastated Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta region.
A U.S. diplomat said he'd received the information, which sharply revised upwards the official death toll from 22,000.
International pressure is growing on Myanmar's military rulers to allow a full-scale relief operation to be mounted. The U.N. is warning that one million people are homeless and in urgent need of help.

Acresce o desafio lançado por Stallone à junta militar ... dá-lhes Rambo!
Sylvester Stallone is used to coming face-to-face with foes in the boxing ring but the latest Rambo takes on Myanmar's junta.
He was once a rags-to-riches boxer and tough-as-nails Vietnam veteran. Now box-office comeback champ Sylvester Stallone is set for his next mission -- to provoke a confrontation with the Myanmar junta over human rights -- just like his latest "Rambo" film.
