Romania approves first female prime minister amid protests
Romania's parliament has confirmed Viorica Dancila as its first female prime minister and the country's third head of government in a year.
Ms Dancila won by 282 votes to 136, far more than the 233 votes she needed to lead Romania's current left-wing government, which the European Union has criticised over legislation that critics say will make it hard to prosecute high-level corruption.
