Brazil's Senate has voted
to remove President Dilma Rousseff from office for manipulating the budget.
BBC News reports that it
puts an end to 13 years in power of her left-wing Workers' Party. Ms Rousseff
denies the charges.
Sixty-one
senators voted in favour of her impeachment and 20 against, meeting the
two-thirds majority needed to remove her from the presidency.
Acting President Michel Temer will serve out Ms Rousseff's term, which ends on 1 January 2019.
