Police called to Ghana's parliament after late-night clashes

Chaos erupted in Ghana's parliament late on Thursday night, with lawmakers destroying furniture, and pushing and shoving each other.

Police were called into the meeting - held to vet Ghana's new ministerial appointments - as MPs damaged tables and microphones.

The vetting committee had disagreed over a number of issues, with some accusing opposition MPs of dragging out the process in order to settle political scores.
