Thai court removes PM Srettha Thavisin from office

A top Thai court has dismissed Prime Minister Sitaa Tawi-sin from office. It ruled against him in an ethics case that throws the kingdom into fresh political turmoil. The judges ruled 5 to 4 that Srettha breached regulations by appointing a lawyer with a criminal conviction to his cabinet. While Thailand’s Lower house of parliament will meet on Friday to choose a new prime minister, the political future for Thailand is uncertain. Shadia Edwards-Dashti has this report.
