Former Samoa PM calls new govt swearing in "treasonous"

To Samoa now where the outgoing prime minister is still refusing to relinquish power despite the courts confirming Fiame Naomi Mata'afa's narrow election victory last month. Fiame and her party, Fa atuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi or FAST, have been banned from entering Parliament, where the new government was due to be sworn in on Monday. Instead, she named her cabinet in a large marquee tent erected on Parliament's grounds - a move outgoing prime minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi labelled "treason".
