Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff said today that she is "outraged" by a vote in Congress to authorise impeachment proceedings against her and vowed to keep fighting.

In an emotional first public response to the vote on yesterday, Rousseff said she would not give up now that her case has gone from the lower house to the Senate for a possible trial.

"I have strength, spirit and courage. I will not be beaten, I will not be paralysed. I will continue to fight and I will fight as I did all my life," Rousseff said in the remarks carried live on television.
