Dilma Waves Goodbye

BBC World Service - The World This Week, Dilma Waves Goodbye

Brazil is impeaching its president. It marks a huge change.

Dilma Rousseff has had to leave the presidency of Brazil while the Senate puts her on trial on charges of hiding the true state of public finances. But BBC Brazil's editor Silvia Salek says the real problem is that she has presided over economic decline. Also, the lessons of the disappearing Solomon Islands; showbiz and power in North Korea; and that big corruption conference - did it make a difference?
