"Barack Obama has reportedly tapped Brazil's president, Luiz In�cio Lula da Silva, to be the next head of the World Bank.
The US president, as Bill Clinton did in 1995, is said to be ready to break with the tradition of appointing US citizens in order to install an outsider who would symbolise a commitment to fighting global poverty.
Lula, an immensely popular leader at home and abroad, has indicated he would be "honoured" to take the job at the bank after he steps down as Brazil's president in 2011, according to the Brazilian magazine Exame" (Guardian)
