Brazils Dilma Rousseff was today stripped of the countrys presidency in a Senate impeachment vote ending 13 years of leftist rule in Latin Americas biggest economy.

Rousseff, 68, was convicted by 61 of the 81 senators of illegally manipulating the national budget. The vote, passing the needed two-thirds majority, meant she was immediately removed from office.

Cheers -- and cries of disappointment -- erupted in the blue-carpeted, circular Senate chamber as the verdict flashed up on the electronic voting screen.

Pro-impeachment senators burst into a rendering of the national anthem, some waving Brazilian flags, while allies of Rousseff stood stony faced.

I will not associate my name to this infamy," read a sign held up by one senator.

Brazils first female president, holed up in the presidential palace on the outskirts of the capital Brasilia with close aides, was expected to make a statement soon after the vote.

Her vice president turned bitter political enemy, Michel Temer, will be sworn as her replacement.

The veteran center-right politician, whom Rousseff accuses of using the impeachment process to mount a coup, was then to leave for a G20 summit in China.

Rousseff, from the leftist Workers' Party, is accused of taking illegal state loans to patch budget holes in 2014, masking the countrys problems as it slid into its deepest recession in decades.

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, who had led the agitation against Tata's land acquisition in Singur against the Left Front government is addressing a press meet.

It's a victory lap for Banerjee as she recounts the chronology of events that finally led to the SC ruling today cancelling Tata's 1000-acre land acquisition for the Nano plant in Singur.

Banerjee says the top court order is a victory for the Bengal.

She says the Trinamool Congress slogan 'Ma Mati Manush' was born out of the Singur protests. She said she had begun a 26-day hunger strike that drew attention to the deal.

The CM says she misses Mahashweta Devi, the Magasaysay award winning author who lent her support to the cause.

Acquisition of land for the Tata Nano factory in Bengal's Singur cancelled by Supreme Court.

In May this year, the Supreme Court had pulled up the former West Bengal government led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) for rushing through processes to hand over a plot of fertile land in the Singur district for the Tata-Nano project.

The court had called the land acquisition deal a farce, and said it was surprised that the Left government had not conducted any survey before acquiring and allotting the land to Tata Motors.

Hindustan Times reported that a two-judge bench had heard multiple petitions filed by various parties that challenged the land acquisition deal and sought clarifications from the Left government led by former West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee for its decision to allot the plot of land to Tata to set up a plant for its Nano car.

It also directed the previous state government to explain why an additional 400-acre plot was given to the company, according to The Times of India.

Tata Motors had challenged the constitutional validity of the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act, which the Trinamool Congress government had enacted in a bid to return a part of the acquired land.

The Tata Nano project in Singur was widely opposed by displaced farmers, activists and the Trinamool Congress, which was the Opposition party at the time. While the company had made extensive promises, the compensation offered to those displaced was considered inadequate and subsequently led to protests.

Earthquake measuring 6.8 magnitude strikes off Rabaul, Papua New Guinea: USGS

Pakistans Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected as frivolous a plea by opposition leader Imran Khan seeking Prime Minister Nawaz Sharifs disqualification from his office and the National Assembly for alleged involvement in corruption.

The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf party chief's lawyer had filed the plea in the top court on Monday after millions of documents leaked from a Panamian law firm in April disclosed Sharifs daughter and two sons owned properties in the United Kingdom that were not shown on his familys wealth statement.

The top court said prima-facie the petition appeared to be frivolous and the petitioner did not approach a high court before coming to it for addressing their grievances.

The petitioner has not approached any other appropriate forum available to him under the law for the same relief. He has also not provided the justification for not doing so, it said.

Stung by the rebuke, Ishaq Khan Khakwani of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf said since the plea had been knocked down on technical grounds, the party would re-file it after removing the legal lacunae.

Many volunteers supported Bajwa and engaged in a scuffle with the people led by Mahajan.

In the melee, the volunteers also threw chairs at each other, resulting in bruises to some. Mahajan too received minor injuries on his face when his spectacles broke during the scuffle.

Government lawyers told US District Court Judge Amit P Mehta on Tuesday that an undetermined number of the emails among the 30 were not included in the 55,000 pages previously provided by Clinton to the State Department.
