NEWS WORTHY EVENT	Backgrounds
Text 1. If you litter in this Thai national park, your rubbish may just come back to haunt you. Well, not exactly haunt, but it'll be shipped to your home as a pointed reminder that when out in nature, you had better clean up after yourself. Authorities in the popular Khao Yai National Park near Bangkok will start sending rubbish back to litterers, Thailand's environment minister said. Offenders will also be registered with the police.	"The young man was on the outside of the barrier and was holding a knife to his chest but nobody seemed to be trying to talk him round," she said. "I wanted to help him but the police wouldn't let me through so I lied and told them he was my boyfriend and that he wanted to kill himself because of me. "They let me talk to him and he told me he was sad because he was from a broken family. I'm also from a broken family too and understood him perfectly." Liu then surprised everyone - especially the young man - by stepping forward, putting her arms around him and giving him a kiss. A fireman took advantage of the distraction and dashed forward to grab hold of the man and pull him to safety. "His story touched me, and I felt like I really was his girlfriend and I could help him," said Liu afterwards.
