Brazil’s Rousseff stripped of presidency

Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff is being stripped of the country’s presidency in a Senate impeachment vote, ending 13 years of leftist rule in Latin America’s biggest economy.

Senators are voting by a majority of 61 to 20 to remove Rousseff from office on the grounds that she illegally manipulated the national budget.
