serving a nearly nine year sentence for corruption and money laundering now for more on this release and his potential future let's cross now to france recourse listen to elliot in so paulo lucinda. we here at lu les sounding downright joyous they're telling his re telling his life story thanking his family and supporters. what else stood out to you about his remarks. well made and also interesting references as well to his time is in union workers sort of hawking back. to him it is so soft in his political career really on thought she when he plans to go now this evening because that speech was made as you said. in the southern city of codody chamber which is a severaral hours flight away from where i am in some polish andnd he plans to travel to some but anotherr to come play to. the workers union- had cooled and also a big weather map what because- union is facing

possible that be interesting to see. how that plays out the calls in the next few hours- see security will be tight suburbia a big sort of the just sickle. movovement that which we actually saw when he was imprisoned. in the first place you know we have helicopters and also. make one last year when he actually was- sent to jail so. so yes i mean sunday local alone references to his id times in his is only part of. the tool crib. as well as to his dignity honesty and he said that nothing can keep him down. and it certainly sounds like he intends to stay relevant in politics. in fact in his first tweets from his official twitter account was it was it and some of the things here the former president hitting the gym and running to the song on the tigris so yes will officially you may not be allowed to run for office- he's actually bald from doing so. he's released many say reading we write another chapter in in

brazil's finish school history it will as we've seen from the footage that you just shared reenter than that it will remind millions of coals why they voted for current president diables and all right you know. nothing you intentionally quite nosti- debate in periods of political polarization in the country you mustn't forget that fifty two million people did not resign involves and all right- in elections also take. the leader was out he bought from running because of his prison sentence that needs to say. country is still but it will split. his release was possible because of a supreme court decision that came down at last night. saying that- it is saying that people it could only be imprisoned after all of their appeals. i have gone through the higher courts and they've all beeeen exhausteted the supplies to about. five thousand people in brazil including lou a lot. but this doesn't mean that his

charges are dropped it doesn't't mean that this this this corruption case is behind him. what's the status right now for his current appeal. indeed you know new still faces a string of all the call corruption related cases on this current charge as you say has not been dismissed what has happened under the new warning is that he can continue. to appeal but as a free man- before because he had lost the first appeal yeah this is how this person in prison i'm togashi interesting hans tons to date to the all the criminals that you mentioned there are some five thousand will say- including those convicted in cases stemming from operation car wash- but also on this the increase of notorious drug trafficker- a somewhat controversial figure. who could actually benefit. from this morning. charge against him as

you say the one that carried the prison sentence he will have to continue t to appeal under structures that have not been dropped what has dropped his his. status to you too. for phil the appeals process but as of right now. throughout this entire case lula has insisted that he is in a tent he actually sat down with france twenty four for an interview recently. and again said that he is that he is innocent do you think that. the country as a whole believes that what's his support like as far as with the e public and believing- that he did not have any part in this corruption case. polls ahead of the presidential election which was gonna save me or a year over year occur now you seem really let holes in the run up. to that particular election race not. a biggy gauge r ready t that we hw both of his you know the current t level of support but you know for his detox is and he remains a highly controversial figure you know he's laying. the fostering a

culture here. all corruption and impunity and should be kept in prison- i actually meant when he was jailed back in april of last year that fireworks going off and possibly countries celebration. now because we may have far less and some days it's not of course that you find former president hans and support just as we see. which is you know news corp. we staring brazil through economic growth and lifting minions options almost see unpleasant still graduating and sort of. you can't sell out of economic recession at the minute so- yes we have been fated to win the twenty eighteen election that his conviction for him is in from running- and so he does still maintaining. a family sold its support base here. anti

urban rural and suburban and we're going to campaign for every last african. . american votete in twenty twentyty. and w it's time for an update of the day's biggest business news and for that i'm joined here on sept a coal spangler well- we saw yesterday the us stock market hit some record numbers just on the hint that to this us china trade war could be ending what's the development look like today well we certainly been down this road before he said. us president donald trump today casting fresh doubt on the prospects of a deal to calm the trade dispute with china on thursday both countries said they agreed to rollback terrace on each other's goods as part of a so called phase one agreement. on friday trump essentially said it not so fast take a listen. well they'd like to have a roll back grabbing. anything john i would like to get somewhat of a roll back not a complete roll back. because thehey know i wont do it. but we get along very

well with china they want to make a deal frankly they want to make you feel a lot more than i do. now investors struggling to make sense of that me. as being t the dow finished today hovering around the flat line. shares on the s. and p. up around a quarter of a percent as you can see here. still good enough for its fifth straight weekly gain at the s.. and p. turning now to the european markets where shares were down. across the major indices on friday. but see with losses of over six tenths of a percent attack on here in paris trading just under the flat line. the dachshund down nearly a half percent in frankfort. meanwhile here in frarance financial authorities have proposed a record fine for bank morgan stanley. some twentnty five million euros. accusused te bank of manipulating mararts baback in twentnty fifteen an accusation that morgan stanley denies. regulators said the bank artificially inflated the price of french government bonds. in hopes of allegedly limiting the loss of the position held by the bank's trading desk. morgan stanley says it did nothing illegegal ws

just tryrying to mananage an unfavorablee situation. financial authorities are now investigate further issue decision in the coming weeks. next up french president emmanuel mccall has raised eyebrows by criticizing what's known as the 3% rule. the requirement for you member states to keep budget deficits under 3% of gdp. he called into question t the rule in a wide ranging interview an economist russia's more. it's interview that's making headlines. the menu and my call to the economists that he opposes one of the founding princnciples of european monetary policy the 3% rule. french president argues the willis preventing states from investing in tech and other cutting edge industries such as five g. in artificial intelligence. the debate about the 3% of nanational budgets and ththe 1% for the european budget belongs in the past century. thisis sort of debate wanted abe us to develop this policy this sort of debate won't allow us to prepare the future. the

policy stems from the master x. treaty one of the founding treaties of the e. u. n. the eurozone signed in nineteen ninety two. in a bid to promote balanced budgets within the single currency bloc the document outlined several fiscal obligations including limiting member states to annual deficits no greater than 3% of gdp. but the rules effectiveness has been questioned especially during recessions. italy and spain have been blocked from increasing public spending despite e battling domestic downturns. meanwhwhile michael points out that the u. s. and china have had no such consnstraints. he says these countries massive investments in new technologies is what's allowed them to become worldld leaders in these sectors. some see matt coles statements as a thinly veiled demand directed at germany. berlin has a budget surplus and semi you leaders have called on n the eurozone'ss largest economy to boost public spending. they say that would help protect slumping industries such as

manufacturing from the current slowdowns in global trade. next up the world bank is called on lebanon to form a new cabinet within a week to prevent further loss of confidence in the country's economy. i minister submitted his resignatioion late last month- protests have continued. run banks as a new government needs to address five key issues. external imbalances banking stability any quality pro growth reform and transparency. the v. need a government immediately a government which is credible meets the expectations of the lebanese people. can work with the all the stakeholders in the country the international community to really take this five areas of reforms fault time is of the essence. good every single day lebanon is losing the confidence of international community businesses investors and his own people. and finally the world has more bilillionairs than ever b before. accordingngo bank ubs there n now more than twenty one hundred billionaires

across the world. it's up nearly 40% over the l last five years. the united states had the most of any country but china comes in a close second. my wealth declined just slightly last year total billion our wealth is still a very healthy eight point five trillion dollars to charlie. do appear if any effects of the global downturn but all things considered not so bad i guguess i'm still more billion. good good news i guess for the world. thanks call and i'm going to swititch over to the other side of the set now for media watch with them a james i look at what's what's hot online and on social media. and your starting with the b british prime ministerss i interesting take on whwhat brings it meaeans for businesses in northern ireland it's got a lot of people talklkg yes very much so because it really does fly in the face of what everybody else has been saying up until now. a brexit is very complicated but you would expect as as one person who has his head around all the minutiae it would be the british prime minister boris johnson i own a visit to northern ireland he spoke to

business leaders and repeatedly said there would be no checks for goods being sent from northern ireland to the rest of the united kingdom. and he's right in that that isn't a problem for physical check box will be paperwork namely the exit some readad declarations i am he was directly about it's customs forms thatt he nice. at would be any need for them to be filled out take some. and if somebody you to do thahat tell the jury up the prime minister. i was ready for the war in the first. sixty thought he was mentioned in that clip is the brexit secretary he said exactly the opposite less than a month ago in the house of commons at his opposite number the strawberry at dick set brexit secretary kissed ahmed tweeted this- boris johnson either doesn't understand the deal h he's negotiated- he is telling the truth probably

both. rather harsh words that another label l policy. as complete incoherent rambling nonsense from the prime minister so much so that a lot of people on twitter talking about was he drunk downing street have denied that he wass drunk a and he does appear to have a glass of water. in his hand he doesn't appear to be swinging anything stronger than that. and it's interesting that that wasn't the only knows where the pasta all of this rather informal addressed to business leaders. and business insight at reporting that boris johnson accidentally made an incredibly compelling argument against his own brexit deal. andd because he talked about how the deal will allow northern ireland to keep free movement and access to the european single market described it as a great deal. about of course these are open if benefits that would be repeateted from the united kingdom under that very same deal. lots of people taking to twitter to comment on this one this gentleman. if it's such a great. mood. island why county who. came to the world. you drunk. and this

woman who is a professor at oxford university professor of politics she's from ireland says. that all new words for this man stupidity except his own will boris johnson described as a great deal is the exact description what membership of the e. u. is it's the remain a argument. how does he even tie his shoes. we've seen boris johnson shake off a lot of mistakes and gaffes in the past so. see if this he does. okay so. but i think a lot of british people expect their their leader to understand that so maybe not so fast but next you've been looking at a burning question in japan right now and it's over a high glasses. whether they'd think you look smart or kind of cold yes absolutely my profession think that it is the format for obvious reasons at the japanese firms are facing quite a backlash off to reports. that many the move bombing women from wearing the glasses. some retailers apparently said that shop workers in glasses leave customers with cold impression.

at so we don't quite know how widespread these rules- across japan i bet it would appear that it is only women are affected either. that's a pretty easy. this just for women or men nation that is where they were it was all he's given way women said they want to allow to you but that call the sitting inside the way that i could be comfortably. allow to continue wearing thick glasses no is reported originally- and his earlier on this week and has gathered pace own massive media by nippon tv and this is one of our think used to illustrate story. because jumped about hold at that. it is a business. it is seven eight these decisions. i'm going to teach kids and that's that's probably on the floor trying to retrieve a club. in the- case of an

emergency i'm. it's been doing the rounds as glasses aren't allowed to this woman says. she was compelled to enjoyy all the pain of wearing contact lenses while recovering from an eye infection really shocking stuff. i am this woman wishes i had a picture of her new glasses to say isn't it troublesome when you see all the middle aged men around g. at what this woman says. no more i like to buy ice in debates let's go comprehensive with don't tell us what to wear because this isn't the best time far from it. the japan has tried to police women's workwear and just a few months ago thirty one thousand people signed a petition saying that japanese firms must stop forcing women. to wear high heels. he produced are there any movement not me to you but to. which is a play on job these words because the what's wish to use- see you. in pain.

all could sue but with an extra year. and she. at soo yes it would a appear that japanese women have a ways to go to fight for equity i'm james with media watch thank you so much for that we're gonna take aa quick break but d don't go away i'll be back in just a few minutes with more news from around the world
