Newsday

Available for over a year

The elder sister of the King of Thailand has submitted her name to be a prime ministerial candidate in next month's election.

We try to find more about a new type of cancer which may help fight six different types of the disease, including bladder, ovarian cancers. And we go to Burundi where lesbians communicate with code.
