and bolsonaro is nicknamed the trump of the tropics.es does he have planned to try to achieve the sort of growth that president trump has achieved, if he can, in the us in the beginning of his administration? bolsonaro is following the traditionally liberal approach of lower taxes, interest in privatisation, and also reducing pension spending, and this will be a huge thing for the government. under the previous administration the government tried to reduce pension programme spending and it did not work out now bolsonaro is trying and approximately 13% of gdp goes to social security so if he is able to manage it and reduces spending this will potentially save the government billions of dollars. i think this is going to be a major step for the government. eduardo, thank you for talking us through that. google has announced its entrance into the high—end video games industry. its product, named stadia, is a streaming service. unlike traditional games consoles, it does not require gamers to download a game or own it on a disc. instead, all

i talked to a source earlier this morning who advised both president trump and bolsonaro who said bolsonaro is donald trump. these two men are very similar in their views, especially on immigration. i think in particular the mueller investigation under a lot of speculation in washington that the mueller investigation may wind down and we may see a report from the special counsel soon. the president may ask about that as well. but certainly i think venezuela could be at the top of the administration. approximate this may be wup p -- he knows when he talks about john mccain in that fashion, he knows it gets everybody fired up in washington and he knows it can drive the coverage away from things he perhaps doesn't really want to talk about, brianna. >> we'll go back to the white house when that begins, jim. thank you. >>> new details were provided about president trump's former attorney and fixer, michael cohen. they revealed that special counsel robert mueller was allowed to view years of cohen's e-mails and other data from his first time working with trump. >>> i have legal analyst laura coa
