Thai PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra survives no-confidence vote

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has survived a no-confidence vote in parliament, just over six months into the job. 319 MPs among 488 present voted to keep her in office. The opposition had called for the vote, accusing her of being unqualified for the job and taking orders from her father, former leader Thaksin Shinawatra.
