IN THE PAPERS
By Aurore Cloe DUPUIS

Violence in Thailand has made the front page of several international newspapers including The Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Nation.
The Bangkok Post says the ongoing tension could eventually trigger a civil war.
 
In other news, Great Britain’s second televised election debate took palce last night. According to The Guardian, the Lib-Dem leader Nick Clegg has scored a second success.

And finally, The Times reports about the world’s first face transplant, and the Gazet Van Antwerpen talks about a mistake in Chili’s television network. Playboy TV was accidentally broadcast instead of the Disney Channel.
