Spain's prime minister has been forced out of his job, losing a no-confidence vote triggered by a corruption scandal.
Right-winger Mariano Rajoy was dramatically toppled today and replaced by socialist Pedro Sanchez.
Rajoy was forced out after seven years in power following a wave of financial scandals involving his Popular Party.
He announced his departure ahead of a vote of confidence in the Spanish Parliament.
The motion, called by Sanchez, won 180 votes for, 169 against and 1 abstention.
