YANGON, Myanmar - Myanmar's refusal to give visas to relief experts is "unprecedented" in the history of humanitarian work, the United Nations charged Friday.
A spokesman of the World Food Program says the organization has submitted 10 visa applications around the world, including six in Bangkok, Thailand, and none of have been granted.
Spokesman Paul Risley said Friday "the frustration caused by what appears to be a paperwork delay is unprecedented in modern humanitarian relief efforts."
Myanmar's military government said more than 62,000 people died or are missing in a cyclone that hit the country's Irrawaddy delta last Saturday. The junta says it needs international aid but not the foreign experts and staff to deliver it.
No visas are expected to be issued in Bangkok on Friday because of a Thai holiday.

For 2008, Zenith will introduce several new watches in their ChronoMaster collection. The Zenith ChronoMaster Tourbillon El Primero Moonphase is the most complicated, featuring a tourbillon and chronograph, in conjunction with a moonphase indicator. Presented in a 45mm case made from 18K rose or white gold, and fitted with a "Grain d'Orge" guilloched gold dial, this complicated watch will be offered in an edition of 25 pieces each for both colors of gold.
The Zenith ChronoMaster Open Grande Date expands upon the brand's well-received ChronoMaster Open watch models. Retaining the cutout dial of existing models, this watch offers a fascinating large date display that utilizes two concentrically arranged discs, which can be viewed through the dial, thanks to a transparent section on the dial; the watch also offers a chronograph function, and a power reserve indicator. Presented in either stainless steel or 18K rose gold, the Chronomaster Open Grande Date watch will be available in a 40mm "T" size, and a 45mm "XT" version.
Finally, Zenith has enriched its ChronoMaster Moon Phase watch line with two models created specifically for women. The 18K rose gold or stainless steel case is created for slender wrists, and at 37.5mm in diameter, is smaller than other ChronoMaster watches. The classically elegant mother of pearl dial retains the intricate "Grain d'Orge" guilloche pattern of the classic ChronoMaster models, while a bezel set with round brilliant diamonds adds another touch of feminine charm.

The Bvlgari Bvlgari-Bvlgari Complications Complete Calendar watch takes the immensely successful and internationally celebrated design of the Bvlgari-Bvlgari watch, and adds to it the appeal of two distinctive complications---the complete calendar display, and the retrograde seconds hand. The complete calendar complication, which shows day of the week, date, and month, gained its greatest prominence through the 1940's and 1950's when numerous prestigious manufacturers incorporated it into elegant timepieces. The retrograde seconds indication shows the passing seconds with a hand that travels in an arc; each 30 seconds, as it reaches the end of its travel, it springs back to zero instantaneously to start again. This mechanism is the most immediately tangible of all retrograde complications, since it is always in motion; it also places a premium on a reliable and well-engineered mechanism that can propel the seconds hand to zero precisely time and time again.
The heart of the Bvlgari Bvlgari-Bvlgari Complications Complete Calendar watch is a 35-jewel selfwinding movement, produced exclusively for Bvlgari by the prestigious movement manufacturer Frederic Piguet. This movement has been decorated with Cotes de Geneve, perlage and anglage finishing, and can be viewed in full through the exhibition sapphire caseback. The Bvlgari Bvlgari-Bvlgari Complications Complete Calendar watch features an unmistakable elegant design, with its round 38-mm case, and broad polished bezel with the characteristic Bvlgari-Bvlgari decoration. The elegant anthracite grey dial has a satin soleil effect, and is contrasted by polished stick hour markers.
The Bvlgari Bvlgari-Bvlgari Complications Complete Calendar watch is produced exclusively in 18K white gold and is made in a highly limited series, the individual number of which is engraved on the caseback of the watch. Bvlgari

NEW YORK (AP) -- Nick Cannon is cast as Mariah Carey's lover in her new video -- but has the superstar diva given the young actor a considerably bigger role in real life?
According to several published reports, Carey, 38, married Cannon, 27, on Wednesday. Neither Carey's publicist nor Cannon's manager returned requests from The Associated Press for comment.
If the pair did indeed wed, it would be a whirlwind romance. Word that the two were seeing each other first surfaced in the last few weeks. Last Saturday, Carey was seen sporting a huge diamond ring on her finger at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her movie, "Tennessee," in which she plays a waitress. Cannon was at her side at the party. Speculation swirled that the couple were engaged.
Latina.com was first to report that the two got married, at Carey's home in the Bahamas. Friday's New York Post also has the pair wed and E! Online quoted a relative of Cannon's as saying that he called his family and confirmed the news.
"He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him," Linda Cannon, identified simply as a family member, was quoted telling E! Watch panelists discuss reported union of Carey and Cannon »
Cannon has put out a rap album, but is best known for his role in the movie "Drumline" and a Nickelodeon TV series (yes, Nickelodeon -- Cannon is 11 years Carey's junior). He's featured in Carey's upcoming video for "Bye Bye."
While Carey and Cannon (or is it the Cannons?) were playing coy, the famed jeweler Jacob & Co. was quick to publicize its own role in the reputed union with a press release touting the ring Cannon reportedly gave her.
The release described it as "crafted from platinum and features a square emerald cut fancy light pink diamond as the center stone surrounded by 58 intense pink diamonds and two half moon diamonds on each side.
"The total carat weight of the ring -- center stone is 10 carats -- is a jaw-dropping 17 carats with a value of $2.5 million."
Cannon does have experience with engagement rings. The actor, who has previously romanced singer Christina Milian and voluptuous reality star Kim Kardashian, last year gave a 15-carat stone to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks as he proposed in grand fashion -- on the Jumbotron in New York's Times Square. Cameras were flashing as she said yes. They split just a few months later.
The Carey-Cannon match is already getting considerably more ink, leaving some to wonder whether it's a publicity stunt: After all, she's just released a No. 1 album ("E=MC2"), and he has at least four movies due out this year.
But then again, Carey is one of the most successful artists in music, and hardly needs a marriage to get her attention: She's already scored a No. 1 hit off the album with "Touch My Body."
This would be Cannon's first marriage but Carey's second. She famously wed top music executive Tommy Mottola in an extravagant wedding in 1993. They had a bitter divorce in 1998.
