"...The International Olympic Committee ruled out conducting viral tests of Rio de Janeiro's sewage-laden waterways ahead of the 2016 games..."

Shameless cowards. It's all about money.

The IOC should be ashamed for allowing this to happen...for subjecting world class athletes to these conditions.

Millions and millions have been spent and nothing has been done. Brazil probably has more corrupt officials in the city than pathogens in the water.

"...adding that the victim’s injuries were not life threatening..."

...only life changing.

What a colossal mess.

Yes, what the report failed to mention was he was placed in a small dingy and executed with a torpedo.

Thailand's phenomenal scientific prowess manipulates mother nature with ease.

The phrase, "a drop in a barrel" comes to mind.

Too bad they didn't touch on the horrific deaths rates on Thailand roads..

Who in this world cares? This man will never be allowed to step back into Thailand so what is the point?

What is different now. Thailand's national security is more secure?

What a colossal waste of time, energy, and money.

I would concentrate on making a professional and effective police force; one that actually investigates with modern CSI tools and integrity.

There I go, dreaming again.

Ridiculous what people and countries think will hurt their reputation.

The next thing you know, many countries will be suing Mini-Siam in Pattaya for building copies of their buildings in miniature.

Why are so many of these cops so willing to kill lately?

Why didn't the training officer have more control? Why wasn't Miller using a Taser?

Something drastic needs to be done.

What are they going to do ? Lock up everyone who wants to join ISIS !! Forever....

Absolutely...fry them. Put them away in a deep hole where no one will see or hear from them for decades. Let them out and they will kill one or more people.

Absolutely agree. They need to count themselves lucky they are not being turned back and at least have the hope of one day living in Europe. It ain't going to happen over night. In the meantime, if they have food and a rock to sleep on they need to be content or at least patient.

Good for him. I agree.

I wonder if the lack of environmental oversight and government officials pushing the exploitation of resources onto villagers by large companies might be responsible for an increase in cancer and other related deaths.

I think it's a sure bet Mr. P will come out smelling like roses.

When you shuffle three identical objects you end up with the same thing.

This might all be so much simpler if they were not voting on the DRAFT as one complete unalterable document. They should put each controversial section of the DRAFT up for vote so they can refine and rewrite just those parts people disagree with the most. By doing it as a "take-it-or-leave-it" proposition they are guaranteeing failure all across the board.

I still don't understand why the hell Thailand needs 200 senators and only a third of them elected by the people. This new constitution is doing it's best to take the voice of the people out of the government.

That is correct. This is not Democracy. It is right back to the same old nepotism and cronyism it has always been and it will fail again. We will be right back into the same old cycle of "elected government", "coup", "illegal appointed government", "elected government", "coup", etc. and round and round we go.

I want to know who those 123 selected senators will represent, because it sure won't be the people.

So, so very sad. R.I.P. children.

I guess the driver is in a sense lucky he is not around to deal with the fallout.

Someday Thailand may come into the real world and outlaw children and all people in the back of a truck, but it will be many, many years down the road because people are too poor to afford proper transportation such as school buses. This is the government failing their citizens.

My wife is constantly having people in her village asking her to borrow money. When it comes to money Thai people are not shy! The only family we loan money to live across the road and have helped my wife on countless occasions. The rest of the idiots in the village are jealous and talk a lot behind her back so they get no consideration.

"...Cracks in Carai passover bridge are not dangerous at all, officials say..."

...until the bridge fails and several people are killed or injured.

"...MNRE encourages people to refrain from using plastic bags..."

Yeah, should do the trick. We should start seeing instant results within the next few days. What a wonderful effort has been put into this. The people at the MNRE have done a wonderful job and can now go on vacation for the next few months. What more needs to be done?

On the one hand I think 65 years might be a bit draconian given their age at the time, but on the other hand if they are metal cases they need help and monitoring until a qualified professional says they are ready to be released...maybe 10 years...who knows.

Somebody is going to make a lot of money, so this will be very hard to fight. Money speaks louder than votes.
