NUCLEAR SUMMIT: World leaders are gathering in Washington, DC for an international nuclear summit on developing a global strategy to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists. U.S. President Barack Obama, who opens the two-day meeting Monday evening, says terrorists who obtained nuclear materials would be the "single biggest threat" to U.S. security. Mr. Obama told reporters Sunday that terrorist organizations like al-Qaida are trying to secure nuclear weapons, and if they succeed it could change the global security landscape for years to come. He said terrorists would not hesitate to use those weapons. Mr. Obama hopes to enlist other nations to help secure all loose nuclear materials -- items that could cause harm if they fell into the hands of terrorists -- within four years. North Korea, Iran, and Syria, much criticized by the west for their suspected nuclear agendas, were not invited to the summit.

THAILAND PROTESTS: Anti-government protesters paraded empty coffins through the streets of Bangkok Monday to mourn the victims of Saturday's violent clashes with security forces that left 21 people dead and nearly 900 injured. Grieving family members also led a procession for the dead late Sunday, some carrying coffins and others holding pictures of so-called Red Shirt protesters killed when security forces tried to dislodge the demonstrators from their encampments.
Protesters continue to reject negotiations, and maintain their occupation of key areas in the center of the Thai capital -- the main shopping area and the city's historic district. The demonstrators are demanding that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva resign. Mr. Abhisit has said he will not step down, and he has urged protesters to meet with him. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday the United States hopes the upcoming Thai new year (Songkran), which begins Tuesday, will serve as an opportunity for "renewal and reconciliation."
