Thai PM Paetongtarn fights for political survival as thousands of protesters rally in Bangkok
Thailand is on the brink of more political turmoil. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra faces a tough week ahead, as she fights to stay in office less than a year into her premiership. Thousands have gathered in Bangkok to demand her resignation — the largest such rally since the ruling Pheu Thai party came to power two years ago. The Constitutional Court is set to consider a plea tomorrow calling for her resignation. Ms Paetongtarn also faces a possible no-confidence vote when parliament resumes on Thursday. Saksith Saiyasombut reports from Bangkok.
