Interim govt loses 3rd minister in month

Brazil's tourism minister, a close ally of acting President Michel Temer, resigned on Thursday after a brief tenure dogged by allegations of corruption.

Henrique Eduardo Alves is the third minister to step down since Temer assumed the presidency just over a month ago after President Dilma Rousseff was impeached and suspended. Temer had been vice-president.

Temer has come under fire for appointing politicians facing corruption investigations to ministerial posts.
