:00:20. > :00:24.The international footballing body, Fifa, has been hit by fresh turmoil

:00:25. > :00:27.after one of its leading anti-corruption officials resigned

:00:28. > :00:29.in protest at changes he says will undermine

:00:30. > :00:34.Domenico Scala, Fifa's audit and compliance chief,

:00:35. > :00:38.said his resignation was a "wake-up call" for those working

:00:39. > :00:43.Fifa says he has misinterpreted the situation.

:00:44. > :00:56.Domenico Scala was one of those tasked with rescuing football's

:00:57. > :01:01.world governing body after the biggest scandal in its history. His

:01:02. > :01:06.resignation simply plunged it into fresh turmoil. Scala claims new

:01:07. > :01:11.powers could mean those responsible for the ethics of the organisation

:01:12. > :01:14.may be appointed and fired by the Fifa council themselves, which he

:01:15. > :01:19.claims would undermine their independence. What he is saying is

:01:20. > :01:26.that, if he can now be sacked by this small committee, then actually

:01:27. > :01:30.these people are controlling him and he is meant to be overseeing their

:01:31. > :01:36.behaviour. In fact, they are neutering his power.

:01:37. > :01:40.Domenico Scala had been essential to the anti-corruption efforts

:01:41. > :01:43.recently. In November 2014, he was tasked with examining a key report

:01:44. > :01:48.on corruption in the bidding process for the World Cup. Within seven

:01:49. > :01:53.months, Fifa president Sepp Blatter was forced to resign and Scala was

:01:54. > :01:56.appointed to chair the task force in charge of reforming the

:01:57. > :02:00.organisation. Now he has gone with a claim that all of the reforms to the

:02:01. > :02:06.sport's most powerful organisation are in danger of being destroyed, an

:02:07. > :02:10.accusation the Fifa council denied, insisting that Scala is

:02:11. > :02:14.misinterpreted the purpose of the decision and it fully respect their

:02:15. > :02:19.independence. For a president only three months into his job, this is

:02:20. > :02:23.probably the last thing Gianni Infantino needs, with US prosecutors

:02:24. > :02:28.continuing their investigations and watching on with interest. This

:02:29. > :02:32.week's congress was hoped to mark a fresh start but already the

:02:33. > :02:33.integrity of the new look Fifa is being questioned by one of those

:02:34. > :02:35.meant to be overseeing it. The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has

:02:36. > :02:37.taken steps to stop its products from being used in lethal

:02:38. > :02:39.injections in America. The US company said its products

:02:40. > :02:43.were meant to save lives and it strongly objects to their use

:02:44. > :02:57.in carrying out the death penalty. The death penalty is law in more

:02:58. > :03:02.than 30 states in the US, and lethal injections are used regularly as the

:03:03. > :03:06.means of execution. But the States have been finding it increasingly

:03:07. > :03:10.difficult to get hold of the drugs they use as American and European

:03:11. > :03:16.pharmaceutical companies in the use of their products to carry out death

:03:17. > :03:19.sentences. Pfizer is one of the biggest drug manufacturers in the

:03:20. > :03:23.world in seven of its drugs have been used in executions. They now

:03:24. > :03:24.say they are tightening their rules to stop that happening. In a

:03:25. > :03:45.statement, it Pfizer is the second largest

:03:46. > :03:50.manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and it makes drugs used in every

:03:51. > :03:53.execution protocol across the US, so the fact they are putting in

:03:54. > :03:57.rigorous controls will make a huge difference to the landscape in terms

:03:58. > :04:02.of lethal injections that can be carried out. It is concerned about

:04:03. > :04:08.botched executions that have driven companies to rethink how they drugs

:04:09. > :04:13.are used. In 2014, Payton locket took 43 minutes to die and other

:04:14. > :04:17.such cases have led to repeated court challenges and delays with the

:04:18. > :04:24.number of executions falling. Since 1976, there have been more than 1400

:04:25. > :04:28.death sentences. The most was in 1999, when 98 executions were

:04:29. > :04:34.performed, but last year there were just 28 executions in six states.

:04:35. > :04:37.While the US Supreme Court has beaten back challenges to the drugs

:04:38. > :04:41.used for lethal injections, the state are still finding it difficult

:04:42. > :04:45.to get hold of them, which is well -- which is why some of them are now

:04:46. > :04:47.turning their minds to other forms of execution, like gassing and using

:04:48. > :04:50.a firing squad. A vote to leave the European Union

:04:51. > :04:52.could tip the British economy back into recession,

:04:53. > :04:54.David Cameron has warned today. The Prime Minister said the country

:04:55. > :04:57.would take an "immediate and sustained hit" if it decides

:04:58. > :05:01.to exit in next month's referendum. But Boris Johnson, who's

:05:02. > :05:04.campaigning to leave, said the UK could "prosper,

:05:05. > :05:07.thrive and flourish" as never before A Scottish woman who was jailed

:05:08. > :05:15.for drug smuggling in Peru is to be Melissa Reid, who's 22,

:05:16. > :05:19.and her friend Michaella McCollum were jailed nearly three years ago

:05:20. > :05:23.after they were caught carrying 11 kilos of cocaine hidden in food

:05:24. > :05:39.packets in their luggage. In August 2013, Melissa Reid and

:05:40. > :05:45.Michaella McCollum were stopped at the airport in Lima with 11

:05:46. > :05:50.kilograms of cocaine, worth ?1.5 million, it in food packets in their

:05:51. > :05:55.luggage. They had been working in Ibiza and claim they were forced by

:05:56. > :05:59.a gang at gunpoint to travel to Peru to get the drugs. After striking a

:06:00. > :06:03.plea bargain, they were sentenced to six years in eight months. Melissa

:06:04. > :06:09.Reid summary -- received support from a local bishop while she was

:06:10. > :06:12.there. She knew Ron, she knew she did wrong and thank God it was

:06:13. > :06:18.stopped before serious damage happened. -- she did wrong.

:06:19. > :06:25.Melissa's father told of the strain put on them. This has had a

:06:26. > :06:28.tremendous impact on both, emotionally and financially. It is

:06:29. > :06:34.tremendous to see your daughter in handcuffs. The living conditions she

:06:35. > :06:38.has to put up with. Michaella McCollum was released last month. It

:06:39. > :06:43.is understood her parole conditions specified she must stay in Peru.

:06:44. > :06:47.Melissa Reid will be released after serving a third of her sentence and

:06:48. > :06:51.she will be expelled from the country. The Foreign Office has yet

:06:56. > :07:00.is expected moves will begin next week to start sending her back to

:07:05. > :07:07.with assistance and are in contact with her family. Melissa Reid will

:07:08. > :07:09.soon return to Scotland a free woman.

:07:19. > :07:22.month, he said the most vulnerable 10% of refugees worldwide should be

:07:23. > :07:27.resettled in developed countries, including the UK.

:07:28. > :07:29.The plan has got to be about the limited numbers

:07:30. > :07:32.who are going to be relocated to richer countries and the big

:07:33. > :07:35.new effort that is going to take place in the countries that

:07:36. > :07:37.are hosting refugees, which are on the borders

:07:38. > :07:40.of countries in civil wars, not countries in Europe

:07:41. > :07:43.and not the US either, and need a new deal that recognises

:07:44. > :07:46.these are long-term problems that need an economic solution
