Thailand lifts state of emergency amid protests

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.
