synopsis: Thai anti-government protesters who call themselves 'red shirts' are continuing their fight to bring down the government. On sunday, the red shirts pledged to continue their fight for early elections and have refused negotiatons with the government. The protesters demands are simply that the current parliament be dissolved, but the Thai government has not responded directly to this demand. The Thai prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said he will not bow to his opponent and in a televized broadcast said: "I and my government will continue to work to resolve the situation".

oppinion: My oppinion is not as important as someone who is more educated on this particular event but I think that the fact that the red shirts are rioting in some of Bangkok's main tourist-attracting sections, tourism in Thailand could be negatively affected. This would cause the Thai government to lose money, which may possibly be a part of the red shirt's plan.I think that Southeast Asia is historically, depending on where you go, a war-ridden part of the world so the best solution for Thailand right now may be to avoid violence in the government as much as possible.

the Aljazeera article I used: []

the BBC article I used: []

coverage: The coverage on each article was very good. BBC included a video with its article which made their article more interesting but each article was still very good. The titles of the articles were dramatically different and set very different tones for the article however. the Aljazeera article is titled: 'Thai protesters remain defiant' whereas the BBC article is titled: 'Thai 'red shirt' leaders say Bangkok protests to go on'.
