Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff
is to face trial after the Senate
voted to impeach and suspend
her. Ms Rousseff is accused of illegally
manipulating finances to hide a
growing public deficit ahead of her re-
election in 2014, which she denies. Senators voted to suspend her by 55
votes to 22 after an all-night session
that lasted more than 20 hours. Vice-President Michel Temer will now
assume the presidency while Ms
Rousseff's trial takes place. The trial may last up to 180 days,
which would mean Ms Rousseff would
be suspended during the Olympic
Games in Rio de Janeiro, which start
on 5 August. Ms Rousseff made a last-ditch appeal
to the Supreme Court to stop
proceedings, but the move was
rejected. Her suspension brings an
end to 13 years of the rule of her
Workers' Party. Source BBC NEWS
