Punches fly at Bolivian parliament!
As protests continue on the streets of Sucre blows were exchanged in the Bolivian congress.
Bolivian politicians have exchanged blows in Congress amid a dispute over control of the country's judiciary.

The fighting in La Paz erupted when the opposition tried to stop pro-government deputies from bringing charges of improper conduct against four judges.

Protests also continued in Sucre with demonstrators calling for the seat of government to be returned to the city.

The ongoing protests have disrupted the work of an assembly meeting in Sucre to re-write the country's constitution.
