Then the troops suddenly charged, opening fire with live rounds in the direction of the protesters. Monday is the start of a three-day holiday for the Thai New Year and many people have already left the capital for the provinces.

Court issues arrest warrants for Thai protest leaders Last Updated: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 | 6:27 AM ET comments0recommend0 CBC News A Thai court issued arrest warrants on Wednesday for nine leaders of massive anti-government demonstrations that have gripped the country's capital and featured protesters camping out inside the prime minister's compound.

Each garden is placed in context, horticultural preconceptions are abandoned and Monty is constantly surprised by the unexpected ...
