>> the commission for impeachment began holding talks on friday here at the national congress in brasilia, the final debate of this commission ahead of their decision which is going to be announced on monday. it's pretty clear what they're probably going to recommend. the most of the leaders made it clear that they're going to recommend that president dilma rousseff is impeached, but it does not necessarily mean that she will be, according to one of the most respected polling stations in brazil. 60% of the lower husband does support impeachment, but to impeach the president they would need 66% or two-thirds from the lower house as well as the upper house, the senate. even if she were to be impeached, the line of success becomes extremely murky because everyone standing in line behind her is tainted by a widening corruption scandal here. her vice president, whose party just left the coalition with dilma rousseff's ruling, workers' party, is havin recommending him from a high ranking judge. this crisis will only deepen in the coming days. but the head of the lower house of deputy said that
