Description
Portugal's President dissolves parliament and calls an election for March 10, after Prime Minister Antonio Costa resigned over a corruption investigation. Costa, Portugal's Socialist premier since 2015, quit on Tuesday after being embroiled in a corruption probe into energy-related contracts, sparking a political crisis. "I have chosen to dissolve the Assembly of the Republic and hold new elections on March 10," the conservative head of state, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
