BBC journalist Sue Lloyd-Roberts dies at 64 after battle with cancer

Tributes have been paid to the "pioneering" BBC journalist Sue Lloyd-Roberts, who died on Tuesday aged 64.

Ms Lloyd-Roberts, who had acute myeloid leukaemia, died following complications from a stem cell transplant.

She ran a public appeal to find a donor and kept a video blog on her illness in which she said in August that she had been confined to bed with pneumonia.

Among those paying tribute to her was Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who praised her "great courage".

Ms Lloyd-Roberts died on Tuesday evening at University College Hospital in London.
