Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi given US Congressional medal

Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has finally received in person the US Congressional Gold Medal she was awarded under house arrest in 2008.

Aung San Suu Kyi described it as "one of the most moving days of my life".

She also met President Obama at the White House, shortly after the US Treasury said it had lifted sanctions on Burma's President Thein Sein.
