Brazilian President Lula 'doing well' after brain surgery

Brazilian President Lula da Silva is recovering in intensive care after undergoing brain surgery.

His doctors said on Tuesday that he was "doing well." Lula's surgery was linked to a fall at his home in October.

He had an MRI scan after suffering a headache, which detected an intracranial hemorrhage. He was then transferred to Sao Paulo for surgery at the Sirio Libanes hospital.

The injury forced him to cancel a trip to Russia for the BRICS Summit, in accordance with medical advice to temporarily avoid long-haul flights.
