Big news from Paraguay: former president Santiago Pena is now under house arrest after being impeached.
This follows the dramatic collapse of Ueno Bank, which left about 3 million people unable to access their money.
Pena offered his resignation and skipped his Senate trial, where even members of his own party voted for his removal over poor performance.
