SCRIPT

AZUZ: In the Asian country of Thailand, flags are flying at half staff for thirty days and [1]Thai government workers have been ordered to wear black clothing for a year. They are signs of mourning for a nation that has lost its king. After a 70-year reign, King Phumiphon Adunyadet died at a hospital in the capital of Bangkok yesterday.

[2]The 88-year-old Thai ruler had been the world's longest reigning living monarch before his death. He'd been suffering from kidney and blood pressure problems.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

WILL RIPLEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It is purely devastating for so many people here in Thailand who have known their whole lives for King Phumiphon to be their leader, their ruler, even though he has no actual political power, so to speak, in this constitutional monarchy.  [3] There have been many times over the years where his respected voice has brought together like glue this fiercely divided country, times that the country was even at the brink of civil war, he was the person who both sides would listen to and they were able to patch things up.
