In Thailand, anti-government protesters say they are planning to hold a massive demonstration on Wednesday. They expect as many as 300-thousand people to take part. On Tuesday, protesters attacked a car carrying Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. He was unhurt, but a window in his car was smashed. Niva Whyman has the details.
