BBC World Service - BBC OS, Rousseff to Face Impeachment Trial

Senators have their say on Brazil's troubled president

Senators in Brazil have been taking part in an all-night debate on whether to proceed with the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. They have voted that she should face an impeachment trial and will be suspended from office.

The man who shot a teenager in Florida sparking debate about race relations is putting the weapon he used up for auction. George Zimmerman was cleared of the murder of Trayvon Martin - and says he is offering buyers a piece of American history.
  
An important statement about the future of the BBC is being made in the British parliament. A government minister will give details of changes ahead of a new Royal Charter for the corporation.
