Thai police are seeking the arrest of the leaders of what they're referring to as "an anti-government movement", after violent protests in the capital Bangkok on Sunday. Several people have already been charged over the protests, in which thousands of people clashed with police outside the home of former prime minister Prem Tinsulanonda. Some of the demonstrators allege that General Prem, who's also a former army commander, instigated last September's coup, ousting former leader Thaksin Shinawatra.

Presenter: Sen Lam
