Clip: 5/7/2014 | 3m 24s

A wrap up of Wednesday's news headlines.

In our news wrap Wednesday, Thailand’s constitutional court ordered Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to leave office. The court ruled that she had abused her power by transferring a top official to another position purely for political benefit. Also, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen said that the economy is rebounding after an exceptionally long and severe winter.
