Emergency in Papua New Guinea as rioters set plane on fire

Papua New Guinea's PM Peter O'Neill has declared a nine-month state of emergency in the island nation after rioters set a plane and other properties on fire. Violent protests erupted after a court refused to quash the election of South Highlands Province Governor William Powi. The rioters had challenged the Powi's election over alleged inconsistencies in the voting process.
