From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

The Nobel Peace Prize and Ethnic Cleansing.

Hello again, I'm Warren Alney, and this is To the Point.

When Aung San Suu Kyi was a prisoner of the ruling military in Myanmar,

she won international sympathy and the Nobel Peace Prize. The dictatorship felt enough

international pressure to allow for elections, and she was chosen for leadership, but with limited

power. Now she is failing to speak out against the brutal military repression of the Rohingya minority in her Buddhist majority country.

Many former supporters are crying shame. Others say she has little choice as a virtual prisoner in a fledgling democracy.

Later on today's talking point, President Trump is taking sides in Alabama's red-hot Republican primary for the U.S. Senate.

Aung San Suu Kyi, the elected leader of Myanmar, are demanding that she give up her Nobel Peace Prize.

She's been silent about vicious atrocities committed by the military in her Buddhist majority country.

We'll get the background of a humanitarian disaster that's not as simple as it looks.

Today's talking point, snake pit, is one term being used for Alabama's Republican primary for the U.S. Senate.

President Trump cares enough to visit the state before Tuesday's elections, and the Democrats might be looking forward to the general

election. First is news update. The scope of destruction left by Hurricane Maria is still unknown

in Puerto Rico. Residents and government officials have just started surveying the damage.
