• The lower house has voted to start impeachment proceedings against President Rousseff over charges that she manipulated government accounts, whichshe denies;
• The process has now moved to the upper house which is expected to suspend Ms Rousseff next month while it carries out a formal trial;
• Ms Rousseff has accused her opponents of staging "a coup" against her; many of them say she has lost the ability to govern;
• She is expected to make her first remarks following the vote later on Monday;
• Experts say her very low approval ratings are a result of Brazil's deep recession and a corruption investigation at the state-controlled oil company Petrobras that has implicated many figures in her Workers' Party;
• You can find here our comprehensive round-up of the latest events;
• Here we look at how things went wrong for Ms Rousseff;
• We also have a profile of the president, once considered to be Brazil's "Iron Lady"

Now that the lower house of Congress has voted for impeachment proceedings to continue, the process will move to the Senate.

There it is "likely to move very fast", the BBC's Daniel Gallas in Sao Paulo says.

"The vote at the lower house was the best chance President Rousseff had of blocking the proceedings, where she needed just a third of the vote.  

"At the Senate, a simple majority is needed to get the impeachment process going."

A Senate vote is expected to be held in early May. Reports suggest that a majority of the 81 senators will vote in favour of her removal.

President Dilma Rousseff on Monday will make her first comments following the lower house vote approving impeachment proceedings against her, Attorney General Jose Eduardo Cardozo said.

The Wall Street Journal , externalsays Dilma Rousseff overcame cancer and torture to become Brazil's first female president, but could "leave as an isolated, unpopular leader".

A defiant message has appeared on President Rousseff's Facebook page.

It reads: If you think President Dilma will bow down before today's decision, you are mistaken.

She will fight alongside everyone who defends democracy, and who wants the rule of law to be upheld in Brazil.

Supporters of President Rousseff have been tweeting pictures of people who turned out to protest against impeachment.

Many of the tweets refer to the impeachment vote as a "golpe" Portuguese for coup.

President Rousseff denies wrongdoing and says she will not resign.

She could appeal to Brazil's highest court, the Supreme Federal Tribunal, to try to annul the impeachment process on the grounds that the accusations were faulty.

The BBC's Paul Moss saw protesters carry a mock coffin with President Rousseff's first name on it.

Brazil's first female president, she is the protege of her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

She was part of the underground resistance against Brazil's military dictatorship, and in 1970 she was caught, imprisoned and tortured.

Her time as president has been marred by widespread protests and economic woes.

Dilma Rousseff: profile

Brazil's attorney general told reporters that the vote was "purely political".

Jose Eduardo Cardozo said none of the MPs discussed relevant facts in the case against President Rousseff.

He expressed "indignation and sadness" at the vote, which he described as "a blow to democracy".

Mr Cardozo was involved in Dilma Rousseff's campaign in 2010, when she was first elected president.

For the impeachment motion to pass the lower house of Congress, 342 members needed to vote for it.

Watch the moment when Bruno Araujo, the 342nd MP, cast his deciding vote - he said it was his destiny.

Fifteen MPs switched from being undecided to voting for impeachment.

The Brazilian newspaper O Globo has tallied up, external (in Portuguese) how MPs' early voting indications matched with actual votes.

Of the other undecided MPs, 10 voted against the measure, while one abstained.

The other five MPs who abstained had previously said they were against the measure.

The two MPs who were absent for the vote previously reported that they had not yet decided how to vote.

None of these changes affected the final outcome.

The governing Workers' Party has released a statement following the approval of an impeachment motion against President Rousseff in the lower house of Congress.

In it, the party says that "the most reactionary forces in this country have won the first battle in their attempt to oust President Dilma Rousseff".

The party calls on all men and women who believe in democracy to take to the streets to protest against what it calls "fraudulent impeachment".

"We will not allow that our democracy, which was achieved by the fight and the lives given by so many patriots be destroyed by the hatred of those who always battle against the emancipation of the Brazilian people," it adds.

Here are the final voting figures:

367 MPs voted for impeachment proceedings.

137 voted against.

Seven MPs abstained and two were not present.

Reuters news agency is reporting that President Rousseff's Chief of Staff has reacted to the impeachment measure voted through the lower house of Congress.

Jaques Wagner, who is a founding member of the Workers' Party, is reported as saying that the government is confident the Senate will dismiss the measure, which he describes as a setback for democracy that was "orchestrated" by her opponents.

Now that the lower house of Congress has voted for impeachment proceedings to continue, all eyes will be on the upper house, the Senate.

The Senate will now have to decide whether to start an impeachment trial against Ms Rousseff.

A simple majority is needed.

The vote is expected to be held in early May. 

A two-thirds majority in the lower house of Congress - 342 MPs - has voted for an impeachment motion against Dilma Rousseff.

The measure will now pass to the Senate.
