Portuguese PM Antonio Costa resigns amid corruption probe

Portugal's President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has dissolved parliament and called snap elections for March 2024. That's after Prime Minister Antonio Costa resigned following a corruption investigation that reached his inner circle. Prosecutors say they're looking into his administration's handling of lithium mining and hydrogen projects in the country. As Omer Bakkaloglu reports, the political crisis could make things worse for the country, as it already battles with high inflation and slower economic growth.
