FIFA Re-elects Sepp Blatter Amid Corruption1 Scandal

Sat, 30 May 15

As Sepp Blatter is re-elected president of Fifa, football's world governing body, in a vote overshadowed by arrests and corruption allegations, Kara Scannell Investigations2 Correspondent for the Financial Times, gave us her reaction from New York. Friday was a day for some big quarterly GDP figures. India's economy grew, the US recorded a first-quarter drop of 0.7 percent, Brazil was in negative territory too, but is it a recession? We asked the BBC's Daniel Gallas in Sao Paulo. President Obama has urged Congress to prevent security surveillance measures from lapsing3, but his calls are not without critics as more than 1,000 websites 'blackout' Congress in protest against the legislation. We speak to Evan Greer from Fight for the Future, the organisation4 staging the online demonstration5. The luxury home of late pop star Michael Jackson is for sale, but is Neverland worth $100 million? Colin Peacock of Radio New Zealand joins us from Wellington throughout the show.
