Welcome to Outside Source. It Is One Hour Of International Use. .

Michelle Platini and Sepp Blatter have been banned from football for

eight eels the 2,000,000-dollar payment. I will fight. I will fight

for me and fever. Bacteria that is resistant to the...

Spain's prime Minister is looking for a coalition partners but

uncertainty is certain for a while. We will bring you up-to-date on this

landslide were close to 100 people are missing. And I will play early

awkward moment Miss universe was awarded to the wrong contestant. --

I will play the awkward moment. Sepp Blatter is Fifa president,

Michel Platini is head of Uefa, football's governing body. The two

most powerful people in football and both suspended by Fifa for eight

years. Well, Sepp Blatter went on the defensive with a press

conference this morning. He invoked Nelson Mandela. To some, not the

obvious thing to do when you respond to an eight-year suspension over the

two mullion dollar payment, but that is what he did. We will hear some of

that press conference. I am sorry that I am still somewhere a punching

ball. I am still a punching ball and I am

sorry for Fifa. This gentleman's agreement was made in 1988 just

after the World Cup. In France. Michel Platini approached me, and I

approached him because we were together there, and he said he would

like to work for Fifa and I said it is wonderful if you come to Fifa.

The said, I am a very expensive man. I said, that is OK but we cannot pay

you know. They deny the existence of such an agreement. And we have given

the same answer about this agreement. The same answer. And the

books now written, it is not relevant what the two presidents

have said. You know what that means? That we are liars. I am ashamed. If

you go in-depth about what has been you go in-depth about what has been

presented and how this has been done, with the support of you, I

have never cheated with money. To have given 2 million to buy votes,

votes for whom? I am back, and doing better. I have the support of my

daughter. I have the support of Linda, my lover. And they have the

support still from a lot of people inside Fifa and members of the

Executive committee of these and they share with me, and also

European members, they share with me that what has happened today is not

the correct way to deal inside Fifa. That is the approach Sepp Blatter

took. Michel Platini boycotted the evening today but he did release a

statement. In that he said... He is the chief of Uefa, which

protect its own statement... Covering the Fifa crisis in the last

few months has been the BBC's Richard Conway. He is in Zurich at

Fifa HQ and I have been speaking to him about Sepp Blatter's options

looking ahead. Sepp Blatter was already going to be

handing all into a new Fifa president on February the 26th, that

is when an election will be held. Michel Platini wanted to be part of

that election but he now faces a very tough legal fight to try and be

part of that ballot. But, yes, Sepp Blatter wanted to leave on his own

That is what rankles most were Sepp not being forced out in disgrace.

That is what rankles most were Sepp Blatter to make.

And that I think is what rankles most with Sepp Blatter

He decided that, you know, he feels he is an innocent party,

he is aggrieved, and he feels ultimately that the ethics committee

do not have the power to act this way, to dismiss him from office.

He says it is only the 209 member nations of Fifa that have the power

So it is an indignant performance, and angry

performance at times, from Sepp Blatter at a news

But he is absolutely positive that he can fight against this ban

and return in February to say goodbye to world football

and do it on his terms, and leave not under

And you believe this is now an existential threat to Fifa?

There have been questioned in the Swiss

with the US to try and bring Fifa down.

Now the Swiss government denied that and said that is not

But there are people and campaigners who feel enough is now finally

enough and that Fifa has to essentially

into administration and come back reborn as a new entity.

People within Fifa itself say actually,

that is not the case, we have a reform plan

that is working, that is going to be instigated, that is going to be put

into action, that is going to bring in the things that are going

to restore Fifa's reputation and integrity in due

There are five election candidates as well who feel the same

But it faces a huge battle both legally and in terms of the court

It is an enormous challenge to turn things around.

and of course there is further pain to come

The US Department of Justice has made that very clear,

Let's switch to Spain. The Reuters chief has a quote here... One of the

reasons that has happened is The headlines: one, the new political

power in Spain which has been an anti-austerity movement. Let me show

you the numbers. Podemos was not the biggest party by any means. What

this means is no party got a majority, he's the College and

talks. Our reporter has more. It is really complicated and there

is a lot of uncertainty. I met a friend to is an experienced

journalist and scratching her head tonight. Lots of people were. All

the parties are giving some clues about who they will probably not do

a deal with to go into coalition. Unsurprisingly, the Socialist party

have, it second and it was their worst ever result since the 1970s

when Spain became a democracy. They came second but they will not do a

deal with the Popular Party, the current Prime Minister, which came

first in the number of votes. It is all about the new players. I was at

a press conference today for the new and hysterically movements Podemos.

They have really consolidated their position. -- and he -- and just

editing movement. The fore-mac University professor came out and

talked about the differences around Spain and the different

nationalities, as he put it in the Basque country and Catalonia and

Valencia. Why did he do that? Partly because that is his politics but

also I think he has left the door open for nationalist parties in the

Basque country and Catalonia to possibly do a deal with parties on a

life, including his party. If you look at the maths, if the Popular

Party cannot find the necessary allies, and they need at least two

other parties to form a Government, probably more, then admit fault of

the Socialists to get a coalition of the left. Podemos Would be part of

that and that coalition would need the support of Catalan and Basque

nationalist parties. Podemos Has come out in their manifesto and

said, we would have a referendum in Catalonia and referendum,

independence from Spain. That was one of the red lines they keep me

today about going into Government with other parties. Let's look

through what could happen in Spain. The 13th of January is an important

day. The Minister will be nominated and will

then have to form a Government. That will be formed by those coalition

talks. In the next 5.5 weeks, if this effort fails to form a

Government, another candidate can be nominated and can also seek

Parliamentary approval. If that does not go to plan, then we get the 20th

of February and if there's still no Government men, we're back another

election. We shall see if we ever reach that point. Let's talk about

the health study that has got a lot of interest online. Bacteria that

antibiotic of last resort has been resists

antibiotic of last resort has been discovered here in the UK. The

threat to human health is thought to be pretty low. It is worrying

nonetheless. Let's get some more from James Gallagher has written

this article online. More bad news for you.

Let's start off with what has been discovered in the UK. Going back one

month, we can go to China where this was discovered for the first time.

It was a drug, the drug of last resort, and when all other drugs

fail, used The headlines: two. Bat-mac -- you would use colistin.

Different countries around the world have said, we had better check this

is not here too. We have had reports from other parts of Europe and Asia

and today the UK is confirming as well that colistin is affected. What

makes it the antibiotic of last resort? You cannot take it orderly,

it has to be injected. It has a lot of side-effects and it would always

be the end of the queue of drugs you would want to give someone. The

whole point is that this is the significant one that doctors could

always turn to in the past. Nowhere in the world didn't used to be

talked about the possible antibiotic apocalypse that could put medicine

into the dark ages. Really? That is the real concern. If we go back 100

years, there was not actively take resistance anywhere. But we have

used more antibiotics and resistance is a growing problem. The more we

use it, the more bacteria become resistant to infections. Now every

piece of the puzzle is there to acquire resistance from different

bacterial species, because that is what they do. They share resistance

from each other and soon become resistant to everything. Not only is

that a problem with infection itself, but think of all the time

you use antibiotics at the moment. If you had surgery or chemotherapy

or an organ transplant, he would be given antibiotics to keep your

immune system going in those horrible times. If you have

those cornerstones of medicine away. Thank you for updating us. If you

are watching it, on the BBC News that, you can click on the Health

have and see James's story. Later on, we will hear about one of

India's best-known yoga gurus, who has proving himself -- been proving

himself a very astute businessman. A police officer and a committee

support offers have been found guilty of misconduct over the murder

paedophile. He repeatedly called 2013 amid false claims he was

paedophile. He repeatedly called police for help in the days before

his murder. His sister spoke outside Bristol Crown Court.

They will face disciplinary proceedings and charges of racism

elimination against four officers. We believe that the failure to

protect our brother's life because of institutional racism. We need

systemic change to address this racism. We dedicate her brother's

life to all other victims of hate crime in the hope that lives can be

protected. This is Outside Source Ten Double.

Only Story Is That Two Of Football's Most Powerful Leaders, Sepp Blatter

And Michel Platini, Have Been Suspended For Eight Years For

Football Audit Activities. Let's bring in a main stories from BBC

World Service. BBC Russian reports on the state

of the data recorder - or black box - recovered

from the Russian jet The Russian military says nearly

all the memory chips are so badly damaged, that it's impossible

to extract any data. These pictures of the so-called

northern lights are on the BBC News Let me bring you the latest from

Ben Gadsby-Williams Let me bring you the latest from

Afghanistan. A number The violence is

an area of the Afghan capital The violence is not just inside the

capital. These are desperate days for police and army in Helmand

Province. Some reports say 90 Afghan soldiers

have died in fighting One focus has been

the police HQ in Sangin. A local Police Commander

spoke to the BBC. TRANSLATION:

The situation is harsh. The district is closed and we have been

surrounded in the police headquarters for two days. No-one

can move out because the checkpoints along the roads have gone. The roads

between other districts are closed. We also

have another, a number of injured troops and bodies here. In the past

two days, fighting has been very heavy. That was the police

commander. Have a look at this. A Facebook post by the deputy Governor

of Helmand Province, writing a letter to the Afghan president. He

was the entire province could fault of the Taliban. Here is one quote...

-- he warns. Now, none of this would come as a

surprise to anyone in the Pentagon and Washington, DC. This is a quote

released last week... Whenever we're covering Afghanistan,

we turn to the BBC World Service for help. Our correspondent here is

talking about the symbolic importance of Helmand Province.

Helmand Province that the British troops were based that for many

years. They put in all the energy to secure this area and it is one of

the most important producers of the most important producers of

poppy in the world. So, the made a lot of games in this province in

recent months. Now we have warnings from the local officials saying that

the province might fall and it is a big give.

When you speak to national politicians, do they have the

appetite to come and help film and in the way that local officials

want? -- help calm. A spokesman today said the situation is not as

bad as local officials are saying and we have to send a special

forces. They are dealing with the situation. The deputy Governor of

Helmand Province on his Facebook that he believes that the news and

reports are not... The president does not get these reports directly.

So that is why he turned to Facebook So that is why he turned to Facebook

to address the president directly, that the provinces falling. Thank

you very much for that. Now let's look at some of the big business

stories around the world. Starting with one of the least surprising, it

is about Star Wars. The news as it is doing really well. This is how

well. It's broken the record

for the biggest box office debut weekend in North America with ticket

sales of $238m. It's also taken an

estimated $517m globally That takes Disney's 2015 box office

gross past $5 billion. Very nice business. Less top to a

correspondent in New York. We knew that it would do well but our

analysts still surprised how well Star Wars has done?

Let me give you another number to digests. If you look at it, it has

smashed through the previous global box office opening record. That was

$524 million. That was set by Universal Pictures' Jurassic world

earlier this year. Everyone knew that the rebate would be huge. But

at the same time, wouldn't a off, given that Disney paid a lot of

money to buy the rights? The people at the time were critical about how

much Disney has spent. For the CEO of Disney, it is a bit of a success.

That is one way of putting it in presumably this is just the start.

As well as taking in the cinema, you have to add in merchandising sold.

At the moment, you cannot walk down the street without seeing something

branded with Star Wars, whether it is the jammers... There is even an

ice cream from an artisan ice cream maker in Brooklyn, who is making one

that is the light and dark side. Very good. Specialised scheme

branded with Star Wars. -- special ice cream. People looking at this

business model saying, has gone too far, and we have to wait and see but

was a popular gift this Christmas will stop after you people watching

you will get something Star Wars related. Thank you. Let's talk about

oil prices. Being low's not a story anymore -

going this low is. Global oversupply is the cause

but producers aren't agreeing A year ago, the price

was $60 a barrel. It has come down to a spectacular

degree. Now to India - one of the most

famous yoga gurus is using his brand Shampoos, cereal, skin creams,

instant noodles, you name it. Exercise mixed with a little bit of

entertainment. It is not hard to see why this man has such mass appeal.

But the yoga guru has now turned his attention to something far more

commercial. A brand of products he founded has become one of India's

fastest-growing companies. TRANSLATION:

In this country, food products and medicines are mostly sold by foreign

multinational companies that take India's money abroad. We want the

country's money to stay here and that is why we started this. He is

not a stakeholder in the company and it is run by his aides and

followers. But he is its biggest ambassador. One of the reasons why

the competition. The company says it because they

the competition. The company says it can afford that because it does not

need a big advertising budget. The main man has millions of followers

thanks to his yoga and many are convinced to buy something because

of the market is as bland. This is bestselling product. Here, you find

a wide range of things on display. For a person of a healthy lifestyle,

though, his latest product, instant noodles, has entered some criticism

and got him into a tangle with food safety of the these claim he did not

have a licence to make them. The company denies this but says the

issue has been sorted now. But it is not the only controversy surrounding

the firm, which has had more than 100 cases registered against it.

Land grabs and tax evasion and amongst the allegations.

TRANSLATION: Not even one court has given the nod

against us. We have and of the Government departments. These cases

were trying to be famous and none has been proven truth.

Unfazed by the claims, he plans to launch a series of beauty and

babycare products soon. Expanding at a breathless pace. Quite like some

of the yoga exercises he is so well-known for.

That is it for today's Outside Source Business. Let's talk about

Miss Universe. Sunday night in Las Vegas, the host was this man, Steve

Harvey. He has probably had better evenings and already taken to

Twitter to say... If you have not seen this, it is

pretty awkward viewing. Columbia!

OK, folks, there is... I have to apologise.

Just in case you wondered what the criteria are, if you want to win

Miss Universe, there are a few things you need to be.

Then it gets quite stringent. It goes on...

That is Miss Universe for you. I will speak to you in a few minutes.

It is not just here in the UK where things are unusually warm for the

start of
