Romania President rejects Muslim Sevil Shhaideh as PM

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis has rejected the prime ministerial candidate nominated by the left-of-centre Social Democrats (PSD).
Sevil Shhaideh would have been Romania's first female and Muslim prime minister. President Iohannis has given no reasons for his decision.
Ms Shhaideh has been criticised for lacking political experience, only serving once as a regional minister.
Analysts say her Syrian husband's background may also have been a factor.
In response, PSD leader Liviu Dragnea said his party might consider trying to impeach Mr Iohannis.
He said there was no constitutional reason for refusing Ms Shhaideh, and accused Mr Iohannis of wanting "to start a political crisis".
The PSD won the parliamentary election earlier this month and hopes to form a coalition.
