South Korea's President Park Geun-hye has become the country's first democratically elected leader to be forced from office. Ms Park's dismissal from office means South Korea must now elect a new president by early May. Ms Park has been accused of colluding with her.

"President Park Geun-Hye... has been dismissed."
