There have been more clashes in Bangkok as protesters tried to storm the prime minister’s office.<br /><br />Thailand’s national security chief said they were alternating between using water cannon, teargas and rubber bullets. <br /><br />Meanwhile a Thai court has issued an arrest warrant for anti-government protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban for “insurrection”, a charge punishable by “death or life imprisonment.”<br /><br />Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has rejected protesters’ demands that she step down, but says she remains open to talks.<br /><br />“We don’t want to have the violence, so please be confident that Thailand will not use any violence because it is a bad thing that happened in the past. We won’t let this happen again so that is why we are open to dialogue,” Prime Minister Yingluck said.<br /><br />Protesters accuse Prime Minister Yingluck’s government of being controlled by her brother, leader Thaksin Shinawatra, ousted in a coup.<br /><br />Four people have been killed and dozens injured in the country’s worst violence since the 2010 rallies in which an estimated 90 people were killed.
