00:00Politics is a rough business, as you can tell from this video taken in the Maldivian Parliament.
00:05The Maldives is an island archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean.
00:09On Sunday, a brawl erupted on the floor of Parliament there.
00:12Members who supported President Mohamed Mwizu were obstructing the proceedings
00:16to protest the opposition's refusal to approve some members of the president's cabinet.
00:21Some MPs blew toy trumpets on the floor.
00:24And MP Abdullah Shaheem Abdul Hakim, seen here, was reported injured.
00:33There's clearly bad blood among the Maldives' political factions,
00:36and Sunday's events seem unlikely to change that.
