Brazil's Lula Defies Order to Surrender

BBC World Service - Newshour, Brazil's Lula Defies Order to Surrender

The Former Brazilian president defies a court order to begin a prison sentence

The former Brazilian President, Lula Da Silva, defies a court order to begin a prison sentence for corruption.

The former Brazilian president, Lula Da Silva, has defied a court order to begin a prison sentence for corruption - we hear from one of his supporters and our correspondent in Brazil tells us of Lula's next move. 
Also on the programme: Russia continues to push back at the British accusation that it poisoned a former Russian spy and his daughter; and we look at the powerful conglomerates that dominate the lives of South Koreans, cradle to grave.
