Corruption charges against Brazilian President Michel Temer has been rejected by the country's Congress. With this, Mr Temer will not have to face trial and he is free to pursue austerity reforms in Latin America's biggest economy.<br/><br/>The vote in the lower house threw out the charges just an hour after Mr Temer was discharged from hospital where he was admitted with a blocked urinary tract yesterday.<br/><br/>Mr Temer said, the reforms are needed to tame a runaway budget, but the proposals are hugely unpopular with Brazilians and Congress has been cagey about whether to support the policies ahead of general elections next year.
