Aid should be parachuted into Burma within the next two or three days - whether the authorities there like it or not, says Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg.

Burma's military-run government is refusing to let most aid workers over the border of the cyclone-hit state.

Tim Costello, of World Vision charity, said staff had "literally overflowed in tears" for not being allowed to help.

But International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander said acting without permission would be "incendiary".

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has also condemned the actions of the Burmese government and said he was "determined" that aid would get through.
