Brazilian Senators have been holding a marathon all night sitting ahead of a vote on whether to proceed with the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.

Figures released by the World Health Organisation and the Guttmacher Institute in the USA show as many as 54 million - or one in four of all pregnancies, end in abortions.

Crimea will feature in Thursday's Eurovision Song Contest - in the second semi-final. Ukrainian singer 'Jamala', who is a Crimean Tartar, will perform her song about the forced deportation of the entire ethnic Tartar population from Crimea during the World War Two - at Stalin's behest. The singer says it is a personal tale.
