The Workers' Party of the Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff has promised to continue its fight to defend her in the streets and in the senate after the lower house of congress voted for her to be impeached 1. MPs approved the move by the necessary 2/3 majority. The case will now be sent to the senate which is expected to suspend the President for six months while it carries out a formal impeachment 2 trial. The BBC's Daniel Gallas is in Sao Paulo. Everyone in her party was still behind her, but the thing is that her party is still a small party with minority. There is still a big split in terms of opinions. Some people say that she has just been a victim of a coup 3 and that's what she alleges 4. Other people said that she has to go and that her government has lost its ability to rule. But in practice, we see that more politicians and people on the streets are now supporting the impeachment than the other way around.


The president of Ecuador Rafael Correa has returned to the country to visit people affected 5 by Saturday's earthquake after cutting-short a visit to Iran.

President Correa has urged Ecuadorians to stay strong. He flew to the coastal 7 city of Manta on Sunday evening, a city that bore the brunt of quake. He said everything could be rebuilt, but lives cannot be recovered and that's what hurts the most. In a country used to earthquakes, one of the scale has come as a shock. Rescue efforts are still under way, but time is running out. More than 10,000 troops have been deployed 8, but it's not easy getting to some of the worst-hit areas.

The Hollywood couple Johnny Depp and Amber 21 Heard have appeared in court in Australia to answer charges that she smuggled 22 their pet dogs into the country last year. The actress and model admitted falsifying quarantine documents, but she escaped an official conviction. Jon Donnison has this report. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard arrived in court looking relaxed having reportedly flown in by private jet from Hawaii. The actress had been charged with illegally importing the couple's pet Yorkshire terriers Pistol and Boo into Australia in May last year. At the time, Australia's agriculture minister Barnaby Joyce said the dogs hould be put down. Johnny Depp fired back referring to Mr. Joyce as some kind of sweaty big-gutted man from Australia.
