a very warm welcome to the programme — briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business and sport. also, we'd like to hear from you on the decision by virgin atlantic to relax its make—up and uniform rules for female cabin crew. so what do you think about this? is this a necessary step to increase comfort and choice at work? or is this undermining the iconic cabin crew brand? get in touch. just use the hashtag, #bbcthebriefing. we begin with breaking news from japan — within the last hour or so, carlos ghosn has been granted bail. he is the ousted chairman of nissan, of course, who was detained more than three months ago on charges

of financial misconduct. it's thought he could be released in the coming hours. joining me now from singapore is our reporter, mariko oi. now, we were hearing just yesterday from his new legal team. it would seem their strategy is going to get him out ofjail at seem their strategy is going to get him out of jail at least. seem their strategy is going to get him out ofjail at least. that is right, i have to say this decision comes quite as a surprise because in japan, bayliss rarely granted unless you confess the crimes that you are accused of, but as you say, he recently changed his legal team and this is the third time that carlos ghosn in his legal team had requested bail. the two requests in january got rejected but this morning, we heard that his request has been granted. the bail is not cheap, it is set ati billion yen, which is roughly about 9 million us dollars, but as you mentioned, the local media has been reporting that

he could be released later today, which means, he has been injail since mid—november, is actually spent over 100 days inside a tokyo jail but he could actually walk out of their later today. and what with the conditions before him? we're hearing reports he would have to be under house arrest the whole time, under house arrest the whole time, under surveillance constantly, is that right? yes, that is the report that right? yes, that is the report that we are seeing as well. we do not know for sure what his legal tea m not know for sure what his legal team had proposed for the tokyo court to grant his bail, but as you mentioned, it has been reported that he might be monitored all the time. it has been reported before that he was willing to give up his passport and that he would stay injapan and where an electric ankle monitor to make sure that they know exactly where years, we do not know the exact details but at least a third time, he has the least one bail request. —— he is. time, he has the least one bail request. -- he is. we understand that the authorities will appeal his

request for bail, so the legal fight could go on, but today we will get oui’ could go on, but today we will get our first could go on, but today we will get ourfirst glimpse could go on, but today we will get our first glimpse of carlos ghosn since he was arrested. yes, we saw him briefly if you remember in a courtroom, where he asked a judge to explain why his detention has been prolonged for such a long time, where he expressed his love and loyalty to nissan and also denied all the charges that he faces. remember, he faces financial misconduct offences, including underreporting his income, what is known as deferred income, so that is his defence, they did not know the exact amount that he would get in retirement and that is why he did not report it, and that is one of the charges he is facing. he is also accused of transferring his personal investment losses on to nissan. again, he denies all about, but as you say, the prosecution are likely to appeal and it could be that they decide to arrest him. that is not a

com pletely decide to arrest him. that is not a completely impossible option, so it is not given that he would walk out of that in tokyo but at least this victory in the court decision is definitely a victory for the former chairman of nissan. thank you so much. just to say of course that we followed this story closely on business briefing and we will have a bit more detail on that later in the car industry as well. but now, let's talk about what is going on in canada. a canadian cabinet minister has resigned, the second to give up herjob over a high—level corruption scandal. jane philpott — the head of canada's treasury board — said she had lost confidence in the prime minister justin trudeau's handling of a criminal case involving one of canada's biggest engineering and construction companies. mr trudeau has insisted that his conduct is lawful. ramzan karmali has more. it's probably prime minister trudeau's biggest political crisis since he took office in 2015.

the snc—lavalin affair has now seen three high—profile departures from government. treasury board president jane philpott became the latest to step down. while i am disappointed, i understand her decision to step down. mr trudeau struggled to give his reaction to the news at an event in toronto. i want to thank her... commotion and yelling 0k. in democracies, you get people with a wide range of perspectives and voices and we need to leave room for as many of them as possible, and i think that's an important piece of it. so i want to thankjane... cheering and applause in her resignation letter, jane philpott wrote: she goes on to say: the snc—lavalin affair centres around a quebec—based

engineering firm, which faces fraud and corruption charges in relation to $36 million in bribes it's alleged to have offered to libyan officials between 2001 and 2011. philpott‘s resignation comes less than a month after former attorney general, jody wilson—raybould, resigned from the cabinet amid accusations that the prime minister's office improperly pressured her to stop a criminal prosecution against snc—lavalin. for a period of approximately four months, between september and december 2015, i experienced a consistent and sustained effort by many people within the government to seek to politically interfere in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion in my role as the attorney general of canada, in an inappropriate effort to secure a deferred prosecution agreement with snc—lavalin. shortly after this departure, one ofjustin trudeau's closest aides, gerald butts, also resigned, denying any wrongdoing. mr trudeau has maintained that any

discussions he has had with ms wilson—raybould were lawful, and that his government was concerned that thousands ofjobs in quebec were at stake if the company went to trial. with elections coming up in october, prime minister trudeau and members of his liberal party know that though often when they win in quebec, they win a majority of seats in parliament, but when they lose, they lose badly. ramzan karmali, bbc news. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news today. search and rescue efforts are continuing in alabama, following the deadly tornado. 23 people are known to have died, but the sheriff's office says others still remain unaccounted for. three of those killed were children, all aged under 11. the british government's facing increasing pressure to do more to tackle knife crime. home secretary sajid javid has condemned the "senseless violence", but insists there is "no single solution". police chiefs and mps have described the situation as a "national emergency", after two 17—year—olds

were killed in separate incidents in london and manchester at the weekend. us housing and urban development secretary, ben carson, has said that he will likely leave his role at the end of the president's first term in 2020. mr carson is one of mr trump's longest—serving secretaries in the trump administration, which has seen rapid turnover. the us president is also saying he intends to end india's preferential trade treatment, under a program that allows $5.6 billion worth of indian exports to enter the united states duty free. dr stephanie hare, who's an independent analyst, a regular here, joins me now. so nice to see you again. this

current system, the us president argues is not working for the us because when it comes to us exports into india, they are not getting the same treatment. that is right, another reason is because india changed e—commerce laws, so they wa nted changed e—commerce laws, so they wanted companies like amazon eat indian data localised in india, so thatis indian data localised in india, so that is a trend worldwide and the other is that they were introducing higher tariffs on electronic products and smart phones, so that is obviously going to hit the bottom line for us companies. so the indian government is saying this is not the end of the world, it is worth $250 million to them but obviously, this is still going to affect india's online as well. and it is quite interesting that we're hearing, we have not heard confirmation yet but there is a lot of speculation that when it comes to the us and china, there could be some breakthrough on there could be some breakthrough on the ongoing trade war as it were,

and yet right in the midst of parts, the us takes on india. —— bottom line. in india and china are seen as the two rapidly growing economies, no chinese slowing but certainly, india is still seen as a place where you want to have part of the action. this is part of president trump's policy of trying to reduce trade deficits, so as he deals with china, he has two perhaps look elsewhere. it is all part of expanding the us piece, if you will. he has renegotiated the north american free trade agreement, has been one of his key policies when it comes to foreign policy. that is right, and they have downgraded the status of their representatives in washington, dc, and they have a —— in a sense downgraded them, which is a classic donald trump negotiating tax tick.
