Brazil Awaits Lula Prison Ruling
Judges are voting on charges made against former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Judges are voting on charges made against former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He could face twelve years in prison and elimination from October's presidential election. We get the latest from the BBC's South America Business Correspondent in São Paulo. The dispute over tariffs between the US and China continues, as the US government voices concerns about intellectual property theft. We hear from Harry Kazianis of the China Policy Institute in Washington. Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by Simon Littlewood, President of AC Growth Delivered, in Singapore, and Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto.
