Turns out that it's not enough to stage peace signings.Half-a-million displaced as fighting rages along the border between Thailand and Cambodia, a resurgence of July’s five-day conflict that Donald Trump counts as one of the eight wars in eight months he's ended. We’ll ask why the return to fighting and examine the root causes of a dispute that’s more than a century old and seems to require more than a stroke of the pen to settle. First, who to broker a cessation of hostilities.

As for the prime minister, he's otherwise engaged. Anutin Charvirakul paying a late night visit to the king followed by his strongest hint yet that he'll soon move up elections scheduled for March. We'll ask why... and where it all leads.
