Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has promised to use all legal means to fight a “fraudulent” impeachment process, stating that when an elected leader is hunted over accusations of a crime they did not commit the proper term for it would be a “coup.”

Rousseff is alleged to have manipulated finances, using state-run banks to cover government shortfalls.

After weathering a bruising campaign to drive her f-rom office, Dilma appears appears to be on her way out.

The Senate is set to try the president for breaking budget laws on Wednesday.

Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff says she is "outraged" at attempts to impeach her and has a clear conscience.

Most Brazilians would be forgiven if they saw a picture of Michel Temer and did not recognise him.

Brazil's lower house of Congress is voting on whether to impeach President Dilma Rousseff over c-harges of manipulating government accounts for political gains - a claim she denies.
