Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff's impeachment trial

The impeachment trial of Brazil’s first female president Dilma Rousseff is nearing its final stage with a vote in the senate. Her supporters admit she is likely to be permanently ejected from power when the votes are counted. Rousseff took power in 2010, but following an economic crisis she has been accused by political enemies of manipulating the federal budget. Photograph: Mario Tama/Getty Images
