Thailand red shirts
About 80,000 anti-government protesters have converged in the streets of Thailand’s capital, Bangkok.
Royal Thai Police say the number of red shirts, supporters of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, is expected to reach at least 100,000, with more protesters arriving every hour.
The leaders of the demonstration have given the government an ultimatum to dissolve parliament within 24 hours and call fresh elections.
The protesters say if their demands are not met their protest will spread to a number of other sites.
