 The Royal Irrigation Department  warned people living in 11 central provinces to prepare to deal with higher water levels as the Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat increases the release of water from 15 hundred to more than 2,000 cubic metres per second due to a higher volume of water flowing from the North. One of the worst affected areas would be Ayutthaya which was already severely flooded.

A Hong Kong court last night night sentenced a former editor to jail for 21 months and immediately released another after they had earlier been found guilty of conspiring to publish seditious articles in a ruling that has prompted an international outcry.

In a landmark case about media freedom, Chung Pui-kuen and Patrick Lam of the now-defunct Stand News media outlet were convicted last month - the first time journalists have been found guilty of sedition since the handover of Hong Kong from Britain to China in 1997.
