Philippines feud escalates as lawmakers vote to impeach vice-president
The Philippines' parliament has voted to impeach Vice-President Sara Duterte following complaints about alleged corruption.
Duterte has been accused of misusing millions of dollars in public funds and threatening to have President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr assassinated.
She has denied the charges and alleged she is the victim of a political vendetta.
The shock move is widely seen as an escalation of Duterte's bitter feud with Marcos, which has kept the nation on edge for months.
