[laughter] >> she's worse than you. it seemed as if the stories, telling the stories chronologically didn't work. it is as easy as that. it didn't work. i'm not a historian. i'm a journalist. i look for stories and connection and the people who are still around who can tell me stories about what it was like as a way of bringing the history forward. to put the smoking

joining us now from london is edward glossop edward is the latin america economist at capital economics edward good to have you with us on counting the cost again if the incoming administration of brazil can't fix the system is this going to lead to a financial crisis well i think it's it's probably not really it's a financial crisis i mean i think obviously. argentina's fiscal crisis is much more acute because the government has large f.x. debts but in brazil's case a lot of the government's debt is held in local currencies which really limits the risks it took about argentina's economy the problems how important though is brazil to latin america's economy and even to the global economy was by far the biggest country in the region but i think it's worth noting actually that brazil is fundamentally quite a closed economy so it's worth noting the rest of the region can still do relatively well in terms of economic growth even if brazil is stuck in a slump and so what needs to be done to put brazil's economy back on track well i think the main thing that investors are looking for is pensi

two conflicting plans for fixing latin america's largest economy, as brazil gets ready to choose itsext president. plus: us interest rates could be rising higher and faster

voters in latin america's biggest economy have chosenjair bolsonaro as their new president.secured 55% in the second round runoff. let's take at the look at the big economic issues in his intray: brazil's economy is currently emerging from the country's worst—ever recession, growing 1.0% in 2017 after two years of contraction. it was once one of the fast—growing so—called brics. unemployment has begun to decline, after reaching an all—time high last year. but almost 13 million brazilians remain out of work, with the unemployment rate at 12.1%. another major headache for the incoming president will be the country's ballooning debt. the key to reducing that will be an overhaul of the country's generous pensions system, which the incumbent michel temer tried and failed to reform. and brazil's new leader will be hoping to usher in a new era of accountability, after a string of high—profile corruption scandals. the state—run oil company petrobras last month agreed to pay a us fine of more than $850 million to settle charges that former executives bribed politicians to secure lucr

two conflicting plans for fixing latin america's largest economy, as brazil gets ready to choose its next president. plus: party like it's 1969. investors await another bumper set of us jobs figures, as the number of americans filing for unemployment benefits heads for a 49—year low. and on the markets, asian shares under pressure following wall street lower on concerns that those jobs numbers could come in stronger than expected. that, of course, would mean us interest rates rising higher and faster. borrowing costs on bond markets are already reflecting that, hitting their highest in seven years. we start in brazil, where sunday sees the first round of a general election to choose the new president, vice president and the national congress. latin america's largest economy faces some serious problems, and the two frontrunners for the top job have very different views on how to fix them. let's take a look. brazil's economy is emerging from its worst—ever recession. it posted growth of 1% last year, after shrinking 3.6% in the previous year and 3.5% the year before that. the brazilian

what happened, mike pompeo was in latin america and he made these comments with regards to investmente good to be true, maybe it not —— maybe it is not in the interests of locals. china had come with big interest rates that they have had to pay for these loans, but what is being talked about is the fact that china is trying to assert more influence in latin america as the united states is no longer as important in latin america as china is trying to put more influence there, and given the fact we are seeing this trade war between the night dates and china, consider this becoming a proxy for their battles —— trade war between the united states and china. banks macro. —— thanks forjoining us. italy's government is refusing to back down on its budget targets, despite european union criticism of its 2019 spending plans. in a letter to the commission, economy minister giovanni tria said the government had to take "hard but necessary decisions" to try to boost economic growth. nicola borri is an economics lecturer at luiss university in rome and has been giving us his take. it is unlikely t

edward glossop, who's a latin america economist at capital economics, is with me now. for brazil, spend and save your way out of recession? —— spend oi’ your way out of recession? —— spend or save? i thinkjair bolsonaro, probably more the austerity candidate, is probably the best option in terms of investors. the thing we would emphasise is even though bolsonaro was on the right side of the political spectrum, he wa nts to side of the political spectrum, he wants to implement austerity, whether he can push those measures through congress, which are very unpopular, remains to be seen. he might be seen as more palatable by financial markets but deeply unpalatable politically, particularly to women in the country? his social views are very controversial, his economic spheres are also quite controversial in a country where austerity is very, very unpopular and he is trying to push through very unpopular reforms through a congress which is very fragmented, there are lots of political parties, lots ofjostling parties that want resources for their states and it is very diffic
