And im we are hearty in doha with your sports one of the 2 men who tried to attack arsenal footballers method ozil and club the knock if intends to 10 years in jail. We begin the news hour in brazil where the former president always amassed that has just been released from prison a judge ordered his release on friday after the supremes course overturned a rule which required criminals to go to jail after losing their 1st appeal is among several 1000 convicted criminals they now have the right to remain for. Free until theyve exhausted their appeal options remember that was sentenced to almost 13 years in jail earlier this year on corruption charges he denies the allegations he has always said they are politically motivated lets bring in our latin america editor Lucien Newman who is following the story from the capital santiago and just seeing images there of lula surrounded by his supporters there cheering for him he was of course addressing the crowds what he tell us about the reaction there to his release from prison. Hello mary well this is its a very very big news indeed in brazil Lula Da Silva is the bigger than life politician who absolutely no one in that country in different and those who support him had been appealing and asking and protesting and petitioning for him to be released for ever since he was put behind bars in april of last year and now he is no longer in prison and he came out looking stream really serious at 1st then eventually began to smile as thousands or at least hundreds of supporters surrounded in chanting leave it to leave it which means is free and then he put his fist in the air a character gesture of defiance by live at the scene of a home as you say has always insisted on his innocence very interesting lee said to model now at the Justice Minister who was the chief prosecutor who was instrumental in seeing that he was convicted was was very quick in ass really saying that the Supreme Court ruling that he should be freed should be respected and that ruler should be released immediately so that was a rather interesting twist coming from one of the people that do the scenes as one of his worst enemies maryam as you saying he is this larger than life figure very much and i call on in the country he divides opinion in brazil i know of a politician its not likely that hes going to sit quietly now is that what might we expect from him perhaps in the coming days. This exactly when now he cannot run for office as things are now his conviction would have to be overturned for that to happen but now that he is free he will clearly be playing playing a key role as a leader of the opposition a role that had been pretty much left empty since he was put in prison he was surrounded or one of the people who was by his side when he was released. The danda had that he was the person who ran instead of lula for the presidency at the end of last year but now he will he is expected to take the lead this is going to mean that he will be a thorn in the side of current president the current conservative president paulson out of and will be probably hearing from mr lula at the scene of a lot in the next you mean weeks and days all right thank you very much our last america and its a nice scene human following a story for us there from santiago well lets get more on this now then was with gustavo to barrow a founder of the brazilian report which is an online magazine he joins us via skype from sao paolo 1st of all if you can put this decision which feels rather sudden in some context for us what does the ruling today mean for lula to sell the easy and will he remain a free man. Hello thanks for having me in brazil we have several. Of the Justice System a lot of the fed still have several pirouettes until yesterday the Supreme Courts understanding was that after losing the 1st of all you could go to jail you now what the defendant must lose all appeals that is a process that could take years in some cases it takes decades so d. We will be free for the foreseeable future he has several other criminal cases against him but. I would expect lula to go back to prison. If the likes covered years would say and were watching him now address crowds of supporters the people surrounding really listening to him intently he has a great deal of influence in the country even though he wont be able to run for office he is still very much a force to be reckoned with. Exactly. Brazils most popular a hated politician at the same time and i think like lucy has said. Now all the left the brazilian left to have someone to rally around however it doesnt mean that this is necessarily bad news for the left for the right and for the far right because the same way the movement is decided iraq which the left believe always around hes also the far rights favorite boogie man. Who he actually ascended to the presidency thanks to presenting himself as the anti lula so with rule out of the picture he lost the use of number what and only now with a little of back to the political game that could. Help most of now do rally his troops galvanize his supporters its interesting is i actually this could go both ways because weve saying were saying that luna to silver is released from prison could be very much a rallying cry to his supporters but actually it could just reinforce support for the right as well for jr both sonera he could use this to his political advantage. Exactly bosso saudis are actually a politician who thrives in conflict. With dollars thats how he goes to small attacks thats how he has always done politics through through 30 years of congress and the world here in the presidency we have to choose look at his presidency so far because the opposition has been really the existence of the workers florida which is lula story has been the role of it in congress all of the crisis generated this year were created by the president himself with him doesnt have a photo that he doesnt have a culture he will create. All right well thank you very much appreciate you taking the time to speak to us to starve a barrow and joining us from south paolo and these are just some of the pictures that weve been looking at of the former brazilian president and asio nuna to civil addressing his supporters and he has now been released from prison hes been addressing crowds of his supporters who have gathered in front of the building where lulu is being held they are of course there with death flags with messages of support for him but yet it is very very important moment in a deceiver has was ordered released from prison by a judge after the Supreme Court ordered a change and they overturned a law which would require criminals to go to jail after losing their 1st appeal and they now have the right to remain free until that process has been exhausted.
