Episode description

Sepp Blatter says FIFA faces a "difficult time" as it's surrounded by corruption allegations. Seven officials have been arrested in Zurich as part of a US investigation. In total, prosecutors have charged fourteen people with racketeering, fraud and money laundering. One of those who's been charged is the former FIFA Vice President, Jack Warner. He's handed himself in to the authorities in Trinidad, but insists he's innocent of all the allegations. Phil Williams talks to BBC Correspondent Richard Conway in Zurich, Colin Sextone who was part of the 2018 England World Cup bid, Peter Coates chairman of Stoke City who used to sit on the Football Association's International Committee, also in Zurich the Guardian's chief sports correspondent Owen Gibson and 5 live's South American football expert, Tim Vickery who is Rio de Janiero tonight.
