More fury in the Thai capital Bangkok as anti-government demonstrators clash with police.

Police lobbed teargas at protesters who volleyed back with rocks.

Demonstrators were attempting to break down barriers outside a stadium where the country's election commission has been registering parties for next year's election.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra-now the country's caretaker prime minister- called for a snap election to be held in February after weeks of sometimes violent demonstrations.

But demonstrators want her gone now- and have vowed to continue their fight until she steps down.

Inside the stadium, numbers were drawn and assigned to parties running in the election.

Yingluck's main opposition- the Democrat Party- have said they will boycott the election.
