Thai PM says he will keep his job

(01:32) Report

Nov. 28 - Somchai Wongsawat says he will remain as Thailand's prime minister and that he will use gentle measures against protesters.

Protesters supporting the opposition People's Alliance for Democracy are continuing their blockade at two of Bangkok's main airports. The protests at Don Muang and Suvarnabhumi International Airport have cut the Thai capital's air links to the world, leaving thousands stranded and hurting the tourist-dependent economy. The PAD want to unseat the prime minister, who it accuses of being a puppet of former ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Shinawatra was ousted in a coup in 2006. Basmah Fahim reports.
