Thailand lifts state of emergency amid protests

BBC World Service - Newshour, Thailand lifts state of emergency amid protests

Authorities revoke an emergency decree that has failed to curb anti-government rallies

Authorities revoke an emergency decree that has failed to curb anti-government rallies.

Thailand has revoked an emergency decree it imposed a week ago as it tried to end months of protests against the prime minister and the monarchy. An official statement said the "violent situation" that had led to the decree had eased. A young demonstrator in Bangkok tells us the rallies will continue until the government meets protesters' demands.

Also in the programme:The former Lebanese prime minister, Saad Hariri, returns to office; and in his first major intervention in the US presidential campaign, Barack Obama has delivered a withering attack on President Trump.
