In a 15-hour session Brazil’s Senate voted 59-21 in favour of an impeachment trial for Dilma Rousseff, the country’s embattled president. In May Ms Rousseff was suspended, ostensibly for dodgy accounting practices, after a similarly drawn-out debate. Another vote after the Olympics will require a two-thirds majority to convict her; Michel Temer, the vice-president and interim leader, would serve out her term.
