| Thai election roadmap on course: deputy PM | |  Thailand's military government has no plans to push back a return to democratic rule, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said on Thursday, in comments that came little over a month after the death of revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Thailand is observing a year of mourning and political talk has largely been shelved out of respect for the late monarch, who reigned for 70 years and was seen as a unifying figure in the politically fractious country. "If we can hold an election we will." The military vowed to restore order and enact political reforms after ousting Prime Minister Yingluk Shinawatra, whose civilian government had been paralysed by months of turmoil.

|  By Tatiana Bautzer and Leonardo Goy SAO PAULO/BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian engineering conglomerate Odebrecht SA has agreed to plea bargains and a massive leniency deal under which it would pay around 7 billion reais ($2.1 billion) in fines for its role in Brazil's biggest corruption scandal, a person familiar with the matter said. The deals sent shockwaves through Brazil's political establishment as they could incriminate as many as 200 lawmakers for taking graft money from Odebrecht , which prosecutors said had a department dedicated to bribery. If approved by the judge leading the "Operation Car Wash" probe into corruption at state-controlled oil firm Petrobras , the Odebrecht deal would be the world's largest plea and leniency agreement.
