14 Sept 02:16 Key points summarised by AI

Indonesian officials recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) from the Lion Air jet that crashed in October, killing all 189 people onboard.
The CVR is crucial for investigators to understand why the brand new Boeing 737 MAX fell from the sky, as it records pilot conversations and decisions, complementing data from the previously found flight data recorder (FDR).
Investigators hope the CVR will provide definitive answers, especially given a preliminary report suggested pilots struggled with the plane's anti-stall system and criticized Lion Air's safety culture.

Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
