Thailand’s king endorses Paetongtarn Shinawatra as prime minister

Paetongtarn Shinawatra has officially been appointed as Thailand’s new prime minister. She's the country's youngest-ever premier and the second woman to hold the top job. Her rise follows a tumultuous week marked by the dismissal of her predecessor Srettha Thavisin and her father, ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra’s recent royal pardon.
