The international footballing body, Fifa, has been hit by fresh turmoil | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
after one of its leading anti-corruption officials resigned | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
in protest at changes he says will undermine | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Domenico Scala, Fifa's audit and compliance chief, | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
said his resignation was a "wake-up call" for those working | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Fifa says he has misinterpreted the situation. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Domenico Scala was one of those tasked with rescuing football's | :00:44. | :00:56. | |
world governing body after the biggest scandal in its history. His | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
resignation simply plunged it into fresh turmoil. Scala claims new | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
powers could mean those responsible for the ethics of the organisation | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
may be appointed and fired by the Fifa council themselves, which he | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
claims would undermine their independence. What he is saying is | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
that, if he can now be sacked by this small committee, then actually | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
these people are controlling him and he is meant to be overseeing their | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
behaviour. In fact, they are neutering his power. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
Domenico Scala had been essential to the anti-corruption efforts | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
recently. In November 2014, he was tasked with examining a key report | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
on corruption in the bidding process for the World Cup. Within seven | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
months, Fifa president Sepp Blatter was forced to resign and Scala was | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
appointed to chair the task force in charge of reforming the | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
organisation. Now he has gone with a claim that all of the reforms to the | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
sport's most powerful organisation are in danger of being destroyed, an | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
accusation the Fifa council denied, insisting that Scala is | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
misinterpreted the purpose of the decision and it fully respect their | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
independence. For a president only three months into his job, this is | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
probably the last thing Gianni Infantino needs, with US prosecutors | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
continuing their investigations and watching on with interest. This | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
week's congress was hoped to mark a fresh start but already the | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
integrity of the new look Fifa is being questioned by one of those | :02:33. | :02:33. | |
meant to be overseeing it. The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
taken steps to stop its products from being used in lethal | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
injections in America. The US company said its products | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
were meant to save lives and it strongly objects to their use | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
in carrying out the death penalty. The death penalty is law in more | :02:44. | :02:57. | |
than 30 states in the US, and lethal injections are used regularly as the | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
means of execution. But the States have been finding it increasingly | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
difficult to get hold of the drugs they use as American and European | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
pharmaceutical companies in the use of their products to carry out death | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
sentences. Pfizer is one of the biggest drug manufacturers in the | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
world in seven of its drugs have been used in executions. They now | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
say they are tightening their rules to stop that happening. In a | :03:24. | :03:24. | |
statement, it Pfizer is the second largest | :03:25. | :03:45. | |
manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and it makes drugs used in every | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
execution protocol across the US, so the fact they are putting in | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
rigorous controls will make a huge difference to the landscape in terms | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
of lethal injections that can be carried out. It is concerned about | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
botched executions that have driven companies to rethink how they drugs | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
are used. In 2014, Payton locket took 43 minutes to die and other | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
such cases have led to repeated court challenges and delays with the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
number of executions falling. Since 1976, there have been more than 1400 | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
death sentences. The most was in 1999, when 98 executions were | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
performed, but last year there were just 28 executions in six states. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
While the US Supreme Court has beaten back challenges to the drugs | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
used for lethal injections, the state are still finding it difficult | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
to get hold of them, which is well -- which is why some of them are now | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
turning their minds to other forms of execution, like gassing and using | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
a firing squad. A vote to leave the European Union | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
could tip the British economy back into recession, | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
David Cameron has warned today. The Prime Minister said the country | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
would take an "immediate and sustained hit" if it decides | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
to exit in next month's referendum. But Boris Johnson, who's | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
campaigning to leave, said the UK could "prosper, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
thrive and flourish" as never before A Scottish woman who was jailed | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
for drug smuggling in Peru is to be Melissa Reid, who's 22, | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
and her friend Michaella McCollum were jailed nearly three years ago | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
after they were caught carrying 11 kilos of cocaine hidden in food | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
packets in their luggage. In August 2013, Melissa Reid and | :05:24. | :05:39. | |
Michaella McCollum were stopped at the airport in Lima with 11 | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
kilograms of cocaine, worth ?1.5 million, it in food packets in their | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
luggage. They had been working in Ibiza and claim they were forced by | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
a gang at gunpoint to travel to Peru to get the drugs. After striking a | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
plea bargain, they were sentenced to six years in eight months. Melissa | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Reid summary -- received support from a local bishop while she was | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
there. She knew Ron, she knew she did wrong and thank God it was | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
stopped before serious damage happened. -- she did wrong. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Melissa's father told of the strain put on them. This has had a | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
tremendous impact on both, emotionally and financially. It is | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
tremendous to see your daughter in handcuffs. The living conditions she | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
has to put up with. Michaella McCollum was released last month. It | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
is understood her parole conditions specified she must stay in Peru. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Melissa Reid will be released after serving a third of her sentence and | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
she will be expelled from the country. The Foreign Office has yet | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
to be formally told about the decision to release Melissa Reid. It | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
is expected moves will begin next week to start sending her back to | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
the UK. In the meantime, the Foreign Office say they are providing her | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
with assistance and are in contact with her family. Melissa Reid will | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
soon return to Scotland a free woman. | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
The former foreign secretary, David Miliband has called | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
for all refugee camps to be closed, with refugees instead being | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Speaking to the BBC ahead of a humanitarian summit later this | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
month, he said the most vulnerable 10% of refugees worldwide should be | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
resettled in developed countries, including the UK. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
The plan has got to be about the limited numbers | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
who are going to be relocated to richer countries and the big | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
new effort that is going to take place in the countries that | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
are hosting refugees, which are on the borders | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
of countries in civil wars, not countries in Europe | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
and not the US either, and need a new deal that recognises | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
these are long-term problems that need an economic solution | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
And you can see that interview in fullon "This Week's World | :07:47. | :08:01. | |
with Emily Maitliss" on BBC Two - in a couple of minutes' time. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Football, and Arsenal have beaten Chelsea 1-0 | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
More than 30,000 were at Wembley to watch the match. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
There for us now is our correspondent, Sara Orchard. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Arsenal ladies have won a record 14th FA Cup title, and they did it | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
in front of a record crowd of over 30 3000. -- 30 2000. The winner was | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
struck by Danielle Carter, watched on by England manager mark Sansom. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
Chelsea ladies will be left to scratch their head wondering what | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
happened to the script. It is their only defeat all season, on the | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
biggest stage of them all. The sun beating down on Wembley, | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
almost as bright as the light These girls no longer dream of being | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane. Only the second time that the match | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
has been hosted here and it's Add to that, these are two | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
of the most established women's teams in the country, | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
and Arsenal and Chelsea have The Blues were favourites, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
unbeaten this season and the 2015 FA Cup champions but, | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
with the pressure off, it was Arsenal and England striker | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Daniele Carter who used her right boot to put the north | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Londoners ahead. Fran Kirby with Chelsea's best | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
chance of the first half. The Gunners started the second half | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
at full throttle. Nigeria's Asisat Oshoala | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
at the front of nearly Chelsea's chances were fleeting, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
Ji sending this effort over the top. In the end, the clock beat the Blues | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
and Arsenal Ladies I hope the fans are proud | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
of all the players. The ribbon once again turns red | :09:47. | :09:59. | |
on the Women's FA Cup trophy, a record 14th title for Arsenal that | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
