BEIJING - NEARLY 70 flights were cancelled and more than 30 delayed at Beijing's airport on Tuesday after the second major snow storm of the season blanketed the Chinese capital, airport officials said.
Travel was severely disrupted in the morning as crews removed snow from runways and de-iced planes following an overnight storm that included a few claps of thunder, the airport authority said in a statement. Airport operations returned to normal later in the day, it added.
BANGKOK - THAKSIN Shinawatra's visit to Phnom Penh benefits both the ousted Thai leader and his Cambodian host, but could drag the two countries back into a simmering border conflict, analysts said.
Golfing buddies in their spare time, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Mr Thaksin are using the row over the ex-Thai PM's appointment as an economic adviser to settle scores with the current Thai government, they said.
