Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has survived a no-confidence vote in Parliament, amid major street protests in the capital, Bangkok. The motion was brought by the opposition Democrat Party but Ms Yingluck's Pheu Thai party dominate the chamber and voted it down.

Ms Yingluck's government is facing the biggest demonstrations to hit Thailand since the violence of 2010. UN Chief Ban Ki-moon has voiced concern over the tensions and urged restraint.
