Ex-Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra returns to county after 15 years in exile
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has returned to Thailand after 15 years in exile, hours ahead of a vote that determines who will be the country's next leader.
Thailand's most successful elected leader has long been feared by conservative royalists, who have backed military coups and contentious court cases to weaken him.
Mr Shinawatra was immediately taken to the Supreme Court where he was handed an eight-year prison sentence, and then to Bangkok Remand Prison. No-one expects him to stay in custody long.

British nurse murdered 7 babies despite repeated warnings.
A British nurse, Lucy Letby, has been found guilty of murdering seven babies at a hospital neonatal unit, making her the UK's most prolific child serial killer of modern times.
The 33-year-old was also convicted of trying to kill six other infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital in England between June 2015 and June 2016.
Letby injected babies with air, force fed others milk and poisoned two of the infants with insulin.
The nurse continued to work at the neo-natal unit despite repeated concerns reported to managers by senior doctors at the hospital.
The UK government has announced a public inquiry into the deaths.

Is Hollywood suffering from its casting controversies?
Bradley Cooper's portrayal of composer Leonard Bernstein is the latest in a line of casting controversies in Hollywood.
The first trailer for Maestro, which Cooper both directs and stars in, was released earlier this week.
It attracted some criticism over the size of Cooper's nose, which some social media users said played up to offensive Jewish stereotypes.
Elsewhere, the casting choices for the new live-action Snow White film and Dame Helen Mirren as former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir have also been hit with backlash and criticism in recent months.
