Global Media Forum in Bonn wraps up second day ... disperse several thousand anti-government protesters who tried to storm Bangkok police headquarters.
Turmoil in the kingdom is escalating with increasing demands for the seven-month-old government to step down. Protests appear to be spreading from the capital Bangkok. Supporters of the so-called People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) have forced three airports to close down, including Phuket International Airport. Rail services have also been disrupted. Thousands of activists calling for Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej's resignation laid siege to Bangkok's Government House for the fourth straight day. They accuse him of being an illegitimate proxy of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by a military coup in 2006.
