Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff has been ousted out of office in a senate impeachment vote after she was found guilty of breaking budget laws.
It puts an end to 13 years in power of her left-wing Workers' Party.
Ms Rousseff has since denied the charges.
Sixty-one Senators voted in favour of her impeachment and 20 against, meeting the two-thirds majority needed to remove her from the presidency.
Acting President Michel Temer will serve out Ms Rousseff's term, which ends on 1 January 2019.
