question:
Weng Tojirakarn  a key protest leader  said Tuesday night that the group was sticking to its demand that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva immediately dissolve Parliament and hold elections. But he canceled an earlier announced "offensive" against the army camp.
 Weng said the "Red Shirt" protesters would decide what step to take next after the end Friday of a raucous three-day celebration of Thai New Year  which doused some of the tension that have kept Bangkok on knife-edge since March 12.
 "This is such a great relief from politics " said Jetsada Pinyomongkol  brandishing a giant pink-and-yellow water gun. "I think many people get sick of it. Everywhere you turn to itit's Red Shirt this  government that. It's great that we could put the differences aside for at least today."
 At loggerheads in the yearslong struggle for power in Thailand are the rural supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra -- whose ouster in a 2006 coup exposed the country's deep political divisions -- and the traditional ruling elite represented by Abhisit and his allies. The Red Shirts claim Abhisit  whose supporters include business leaders  the military brass and members of the urban middle class  took power illegitimately.
answer:
Thai protesters stay put but cancel ' offensive '


question:
Conservative Christians in America love Texas Sen. Ted Cruz . 
While other Republican presidential candidates , namely Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee , are also extremely popular with many Christians , particularly evangelicals , Cruz continues to pull in more and more of the conservative Christian vote . 
For the third year in the row , Cruz won the Values Voter Summit Presidential Straw Poll , "the largest gathering of evangelical voters from across the country ." 
So why do Christians gravitate toward Cruz ? 
Cruz is a Passionate Defender of Religious Liberty . 
No political leader is a stronger defender of religious liberty than Cruz , who has pushed back strongly against the erosion of Constitutional rights , battling "liberal fascists" during a time when religious freedom has been tested in this country to a degree it has not seen in recent history . 
"We were founded by men and women fleeing religious persecution ," Cruz said at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition summit this year . 
Cruz Is Unafraid to Take On the ` Anti-Christian ' Left . 
Cruz is a fighter , repeatedly proving that he 's not only willing to go to bat for Christians , he will call out those whom he perceives to be "anti-Christian" -- particularly those on the radical left . 
"Today 's Democratic Party has decided there is no room for Christians in today 's Democratic Party ," Cruz said in April . 
In an interview on Sean Hannity 's show in October , Cruz responded to the president 's claim in the New York Review of Books that "it seems as if folks who take religion the most seriously sometimes are also those who are suspicious of those not like them ." 
Cruz told Hannity that Obama 's comment was indicative of the "strong anti-American streak" and "antipathy for Christians" among those , like Obama , on the "far left ." 
Cruz went on to praise America -- which is still a majority Christian country -- as "an incredible force of good in this world" which has "spilled more blood" for freedom than any other country . 
"And yet , the far-left , out of which Barack Obama arose , despises American leadership in the world ," said Cruz . 
Cruz Appears to be a Genuine Believer . 
By all accounts , Cruz is not just "politicking" about his Christian principles . 
One moment captured on a cell phone after a campaign event in October revealed just one example of many in which Cruz demonstrated his genuine belief in the power of prayer and his pastoral inclinations -LRB- still shot from Facebook post below -RRB- : . 
Cruz Is Unapologetically Pro-Life . 
Cruz is a passionate and vocal pro-life advocate , having "played a leading role in several important cases , including defense of the partial-birth abortion ban , parental consent laws , and prohibiting state funds from going to abortion ." 
When the shocking videos showing high-level Planned Parenthood officials discussing the company 's fetal body part trade were first released , Cruz rallied evangelicals in an effort to defund the group . 
When the Republican House leadership caved to pressure and failed to eliminate public funding to the nation 's leading provider of abortion , Cruz blasted those who "failed to lift a finger to protect life ." 
Senator Ted Cruz . 
Cruz Is Strongly Pro-Israel . 
Cruz has consistently come to the defense of Israel , which is an important issue for most American Christians -- particularly evangelicals -- and has been undermined repeatedly by Obama since early in his presidency . 
Cruz has frequently praised Israel as America 's most important ally in the Middle East and a beacon of freedom and tolerance in a troubled region . 
Perhaps no Republican candidate has been more vocal than Cruz condemning the Iran nuclear deal , which was staunchly opposed by Israel and which conservative Christians rejected overwhelmingly .
answer:
Christians Love Ted Cruz . 


question:
PORTO ALEGRE  Brazil (Reuters) - A Brazilian appeals court unanimously upheld the corruption conviction of  former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva  on Wednesday and added to  his  sentence  a major blow to the popular politicianâs plans to run again for the presidency this year.
All three appellate court judges voted to uphold  Lula âs convictions on taking bribes and money laundering. They also added 2-1/2 years to  his  sentence  condemning  him  to 12 years in prison.  Lula   Brazilâs first working-class leader  so far remains free pending future appeals.
 Lula   72  could now be ineligible to stand for election under Brazilâs âFicha Limpaâ or âClean Recordâ law  which bans political candidates whose convictions have been upheld by an appellate court.
 Lula âs exclusion from the October election would radically alter the political landscape ahead of a campaign in which  he  is the early favorite  with 36 percent of voter preferences according to pollster Datafolha. That is double the percentage of  his  nearest rival  the far-right congressman and former army captain Jair Bolsonaro  who has been energized by anti-Lula sentiment.
But  Lula  still has options. An electoral court must make the final ruling on a candidacy  and would only do so once a candidate had registered.
 Lula  can appeal Wednesdayâs decision by the appeals court in Porto Alegre to Brazilâs top appeals court or to the Supreme Court to delay a final ruling  possibly avoiding jail and stringing the process out long enough to register  his  candidacy by the Aug. 15 deadline.
At a nighttime rally in a central Sao Paulo plaza   Lula  stood atop a sound truck and rallied supporters  blasting the ruling as a âlieâ  and strongly maintained  his  innocence.
 Lula  said that if the three judges could âshow me the crime I committed  I would give up trying to be a candidate.â
âI want the judges to know that I am not worried like they think I should be â  Lula  said. âThey cannot jail ideas or hope.â
Opponents of  Lula   meanwhile  celebrated on Sao Pauloâs main avenue with a giant blown-up figure of the ex-president dressed as a prison convict.

 Lula  is one of scores of powerful politicians and businessmen caught up in sweeping corruption probes that have wracked the Brazilian establishment since 2014.
 He  faces six more indictments in corruption cases ranging from receiving bribes from engineering firm Odebrecht [ODBES.UL] to obstructing justice and trafficking  his  influence to obtain government decisions favoring the auto industry.
 He  is among over 100 people convicted in the âCar Washâ investigation  the most sprawling of Brazilâs numerous probes. It focuses on graft involving oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro  known as Petrobras   and other state-run companies.
 Lula  was convicted of corruption and money laundering last year for accepting a beachside apartment from an engineering firm vying for contracts with Petrobras.
Prosecutors said the apartment and its refurbishing was a bribe worth 3.7 million reais ($1.1 million).  Lula  maintains  he  never owned the penthouse apartment  criticizing prosecutors for what  Lula âs lawyers called a reliance on the plea bargain testimony of one witness  businessman Leo Pinheiro.
