The international footballing body, Fifa, has been hit by fresh turmoil

after one of its leading anti-corruption officials resigned

in protest at changes he says will undermine

Domenico Scala, Fifa's audit and compliance chief,

said his resignation was a "wake-up call" for those working

Fifa says he has misinterpreted the situation.

Domenico Scala was one of those tasked with rescuing football's

world governing body after the biggest scandal in its history. His

resignation simply plunged it into fresh turmoil. Scala claims new

powers could mean those responsible for the ethics of the organisation

may be appointed and fired by the Fifa council themselves, which he

claims would undermine their independence. What he is saying is

that, if he can now be sacked by this small committee, then actually

these people are controlling him and he is meant to be overseeing their

behaviour. In fact, they are neutering his power.

Domenico Scala had been essential to the anti-corruption efforts

recently. In November 2014, he was tasked with examining a key report

on corruption in the bidding process for the World Cup. Within seven

months, Fifa president Sepp Blatter was forced to resign and Scala was

appointed to chair the task force in charge of reforming the

organisation. Now he has gone with a claim that all of the reforms to the

sport's most powerful organisation are in danger of being destroyed, an

accusation the Fifa council denied, insisting that Scala is

misinterpreted the purpose of the decision and it fully respect their

independence. For a president only three months into his job, this is

probably the last thing Gianni Infantino needs, with US prosecutors

continuing their investigations and watching on with interest. This

week's congress was hoped to mark a fresh start but already the

integrity of the new look Fifa is being questioned by one of those

meant to be overseeing it. The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has

taken steps to stop its products from being used in lethal

injections in America. The US company said its products

were meant to save lives and it strongly objects to their use

in carrying out the death penalty. The death penalty is law in more

than 30 states in the US, and lethal injections are used regularly as the

means of execution. But the States have been finding it increasingly

difficult to get hold of the drugs they use as American and European

pharmaceutical companies in the use of their products to carry out death

sentences. Pfizer is one of the biggest drug manufacturers in the

world in seven of its drugs have been used in executions. They now

say they are tightening their rules to stop that happening. In a

statement, it Pfizer is the second largest

manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and it makes drugs used in every

execution protocol across the US, so the fact they are putting in

rigorous controls will make a huge difference to the landscape in terms

of lethal injections that can be carried out. It is concerned about

botched executions that have driven companies to rethink how they drugs

are used. In 2014, Payton locket took 43 minutes to die and other

such cases have led to repeated court challenges and delays with the

number of executions falling. Since 1976, there have been more than 1400

death sentences. The most was in 1999, when 98 executions were

performed, but last year there were just 28 executions in six states.

While the US Supreme Court has beaten back challenges to the drugs

used for lethal injections, the state are still finding it difficult

to get hold of them, which is well -- which is why some of them are now

turning their minds to other forms of execution, like gassing and using

a firing squad. A vote to leave the European Union

could tip the British economy back into recession,

David Cameron has warned today. The Prime Minister said the country

would take an "immediate and sustained hit" if it decides

to exit in next month's referendum. But Boris Johnson, who's

campaigning to leave, said the UK could "prosper,

thrive and flourish" as never before A Scottish woman who was jailed

for drug smuggling in Peru is to be Melissa Reid, who's 22,

and her friend Michaella McCollum were jailed nearly three years ago

after they were caught carrying 11 kilos of cocaine hidden in food

packets in their luggage. In August 2013, Melissa Reid and

Michaella McCollum were stopped at the airport in Lima with 11

kilograms of cocaine, worth ?1.5 million, it in food packets in their

luggage. They had been working in Ibiza and claim they were forced by

a gang at gunpoint to travel to Peru to get the drugs. After striking a

plea bargain, they were sentenced to six years in eight months. Melissa

Reid summary -- received support from a local bishop while she was

there. She knew Ron, she knew she did wrong and thank God it was

stopped before serious damage happened. -- she did wrong.

Melissa's father told of the strain put on them. This has had a

tremendous impact on both, emotionally and financially. It is

tremendous to see your daughter in handcuffs. The living conditions she

has to put up with. Michaella McCollum was released last month. It

is understood her parole conditions specified she must stay in Peru.

Melissa Reid will be released after serving a third of her sentence and

she will be expelled from the country. The Foreign Office has yet

to be formally told about the decision to release Melissa Reid. It

is expected moves will begin next week to start sending her back to

the UK. In the meantime, the Foreign Office say they are providing her

with assistance and are in contact with her family. Melissa Reid will

soon return to Scotland a free woman.

The former foreign secretary, David Miliband has called

for all refugee camps to be closed, with refugees instead being

Speaking to the BBC ahead of a humanitarian summit later this

month, he said the most vulnerable 10% of refugees worldwide should be

resettled in developed countries, including the UK.

The plan has got to be about the limited numbers

who are going to be relocated to richer countries and the big

new effort that is going to take place in the countries that

are hosting refugees, which are on the borders

of countries in civil wars, not countries in Europe

and not the US either, and need a new deal that recognises

these are long-term problems that need an economic solution
