Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff loses impeachment vote

Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff suffered a devastating blow when the Chamber of Deputies voted to open impeachment proceedings against her.

The 367-137 vote in favour of impeachment was well over the 342 threshold needed for the proceedings to move to the Senate, where a majority vote will determine whether Ms Rousseff is put on trial and suspended while Vice President Michel Temer temporarily takes over.
