Brazil's president confident he can survive bribery charge vote

President Michel Temer appeared likely to survive a key vote in Brazil's Congress on whether to put him on trial over an alleged bribery scheme to line his pockets.

Despite a 5% approval rating in opinion polls and myriad calls for him to resign the last few months, he has been able to maintain most of his governing coalition in the Chamber of Deputies, where he was the presiding officer for many years.
