Thailand's parliament to vote for new prime minister

The Thai parliament have been voting for a new prime minister. The country has been in a state of political turmoil for some time culminating in the removal of Paetongtarn Shinawatra as prime minister last week.

The death toll from the funicular tram crash in Portugal has risen to sixteen; Thursday was a day of mourning across the country. The service operator has promised a full investigation into the accident with questions asked about the cable securing the vehicle.

And there have been angry exchanges between US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy and Senate committee members in Washington, as they clashed over Kennedy's running of the department of health.
