BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva underwent fresh medical exams on Friday, which showed he is in "stable" condition after suffering a head injury last weekend that forced him to cancel a trip to Russia.

According to a medical report, Lula is cleared to perform his duties in Brasilia and will undergo new tests within five days.
