Members of the ousted government were summoned to appear at army headquarters all face arrest. Most of them came, including the former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and members of her family.

Unlike previous coups there have been no promises to return Thailand to civilian rule.

The IAEA report says Iran is sticking to the deal to cut back its sensitive uranium enrichment work. Its stock of more highly enriched uranium has been reduced by almost 80% since January. This is likely to be welcome news for the 6 world powers that are trying to reach a final deal with Iran over its nuclear program. The report also says that Iran for the first time since 2008 is engaging technically with the IAEA's investigation into suspected nuclear bomb research. Tehran says its nuclear work is purely peaceful.
IAEA报道称,伊朗遵守了削减其铀浓缩项目的协议。自1月份以来,其高浓缩铀储备减少了接近80%。对于试图与伊朗就其和项目达成最终协议的世界六个大国来说可能是受欢迎的消息。该报告还表示,自2008年来,伊朗首次战略性地参与了IAEA对其可疑核弹研究项目的调查。德黑兰表示,他们的核研究是出于和平目的。

At the height of the fire, flames could be seen through the blackened windows of the art school as smoke billowed into the sky above Glasgow city center. Firefighters were there within 4 minutes, but it was soon clear the building has been extensively damaged as the blaze ran through the interior from basement to attic. This building is one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's masterpieces. He won the competition to design when he was just 28. It's not just the building itself which has been ravaged, but the famous Mackintosh's Library inside seems to have been burned in the fire.
