In Thailand, anti-government activists have agreed to end thier blockade Bangkok's airports, after a court stripped Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat of his post and outlawed the ruling party. The People's Alliance for Democracy said it would lift its siege of the airports, and end the 192-day campaign that has toppled two prime ministers allied to exiled former leader Thaksin Shinawat.
