00:00 Politics is a rough business, as you can tell from this video taken in the Maldivian parliament.
00:05 The Maldives is an island archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean.
00:08 On Sunday, a brawl erupted on the floor of parliament there.
00:12 Members who supported President Mohamed Mouizou were obstructing the proceedings
00:15 to protest the opposition's refusal to approve some members of the president's cabinet.
00:20 Some MPs blew toy trumpets on the floor.
00:28 And MP Abdullah Shaheem Abdul Hakim, seen here, was reported injured.
00:33 There's clearly bad blood among the Maldives' political factions,
00:36 and Sunday's events seem unlikely to change that.
