An unprecedented crisis for fifa. Sepp blatter has turned his back on former allies the Vice President s of some committees, some of the most powerful people in the game who have been arrested and are now facing allegations of corruption. Sepp blatter, on the other hand, will stand for reelection. He does not see any reason for not doing so.

That might be a question some will be asking. Visa says they have been in close contact with fifa, like many other sponsors. Visa informed fifa they would reassess their sponsorship of things do not dramatically change. Molly clovis caselli, thank you for the update. I large number of those arrested a large number of those arrested are from south america a reality that has dealt the footballloving continent a blow. The linux fever there is football fever, but for the wrong reasons. The former head of the Brazilian Football Confederation charged and fans have welcomed the news. It is shameful that the Confederation Building is named after pose a muddy a owes a muddy a always a maria. It shows to which point it is corrupt. That is why brazilian football is as it is. It was once prestigious. That is not the case anymore. Officials from countries including venezuela, costa rica and nicaragua were picked up. The scale of the crimes has never been seen. This is a hard hit against the nicaraguan national. The passing will happen with the lifetime van ban. Many in latin america have welcomed the crackdown, saying it is about time the regions all guard are held accountable. Molly not, should the United Kingdom now, should the United Kingdom remaining member of the European Union . David cameron unveiled the wording of the legislation and the Prime Minister says he expects the referendum bill to make it through parliament and into law shortly. He is pushing for a set of reforms that will convince to stay in the union. David cameron on a roll his Eu Referendum bill is introduced to the British Parliament this thursday, just as the british Prime Minister hits the road to convince you partners he has the right convinced eu partners that he has the right vision for europe. Prime minister cameron start discussions about the reform of the European Union. He is launching in the netherlands, then dining in paris. On friday he will be in warsaw and berlin. His plan is to visit all eu states ahead of the summit. Speaking in march, he was convinced his election when would get leaders to listen. Prime minister cameron if you have a mandate for change, i think that will be taken seriously, and changes will be achievable and it is important for the country that we do that. He is saying he is leaving nothing out, leaving the question open if he will personally vote to leave the eu if he does not care what he wants. Certain Member States say they do not see any need for a shakeup and especially a compromise on the need of the freedom to migrate within the union, and issue central to camerons campaign. Molly in malaysia, officers hasnt officers have an arrested on Human Trafficking. 139 graves found one not mass but individual ones. Reporters have been to see that camps which shall signs of torture and abuse such as suspected human cages. A summit is set to be held tomorrow in bangkok. For the latest, we can cross to france 24s ishmael wolf who is in the capital. Do you know anything more about who is expected to attend the summit meeting and whether anything concrete is expected out of it . Ishmael there are a lot of questions of what will come out of the meeting. We know officials from 17 countries have been invited to attend. We also spoke to some of the ambassadors here from European Countries in thailand and they say they were invited at the last minute, but only for the first morning session presumably just the opening statements. It is also unclear what level the officials will be coming from the countries and not ministerial level. Therefore, the question is what concrete outcomes will come from that meeting. We do expect concrete and clear statement on the number of migrants that have arrived clear information on the ongoing searchandrescue operations. The u. N. Assesses there are about 2500 migrants still at sea, many for months, and suffering, obviously, terrible conditions, and are questions about whether they have sufficient food, water, and other vital needs. Really, not expect there will be a concrete outcome that will see this Human Trafficking trade stamped out, but you do see some arrests being made. There is hope there will be concrete outcomes moving forward to stamp out the Human Trafficking trade. Molly of course many migrants are trying to escape out of poverty in bangladesh or persecution in burma. I understand the country of burma has passed a new law considering the new concerning the new the minority. Tell us about it. Ismail they call it a package of race and religion laws and it is directed specifically, from what we gather at Muslim Minority communities and it is expected to be applied to the rain the community. It limits the number of children that people can have minority groups, or people in areas of high population. They will limit the number of children to one every three years. This is the part of a long line of persecution or legislation and lost that have stripped the rangy of their law, reducing their rights to marriage, religion this is the persecution they are facing, and we do not expect this to be discussed tomorrow. That is the crux of the issue why they are being forced to flee. Molly thank you for that update. Now to the United States when residents in the southern areas are bracing for more harsh weather. On wednesday hundreds of people were ordered flooded areas of texas as torrential rains batter the state. Severe floods have hit the region, leaving at least 21 people dead and 11 others missing. Elliott richardson has more. Elliott may is officially the wettest month on record since february. Houses have been destroyed, lives lost. West of houston, it is one of the worst affected areas. We have thousands of homes damaged, some totally lost. Here in san marcos, we have 774 homes impacted in either severe or some way. Elliott houston, the u. S. s fourth most popular populated city has been devastated. At least 2000 vehicles have been abandoned and up to 1400 homes damaged. We had three inches of water here. Do you see where that gleam line is here . Green line is here . Crux we had a carpet cutting we have a carpetcutting knife. We saw the level of the wire outside was higher than the level inside and that was frightening as it was glowing in. Elliott the number of people missing in texas stands at 12 and with more heavy rain to come, the threat is far from over. Molly lets check the top stories this hour. The worlds most popular sport has been dragged through the mud. Footballs corruption arrest has sparked concern among sponsors. Reform the European Union and keep the United Kingdom that is David Camerons message on the european tour. And malaysian authorities detain one dozen Police Officers in connection with Human Trafficking ahead of a regional crisis summit. Lets get a check now of the days Top Business News and im joined by william hilderbrandt. Are you going to start things off with greece . The country says they are close to reaching a deal with creditors. Tell us more. William we have heard this before from them heavenly, but meanwhile the german finance minister says that has been no progress in talks. The greek Prime Minister has insisted that lenders make concessions on training labor and pensions. Greece needs to reach a agreement to knock out 1. 27 billion in bailout money. Greece needs cash. Exmouth they have payments totaling next month may have payments totaling one billion euros. Prime minister tsipras we have taken many steps, close to a deal. The deal will be positive for the greek economy. This deal will district the burden. William since Alexis Tsipras comments, markets are lower as hopes are fading of the greek bailout. Only the london ftse is in the green. From cashstrapped greece to cashfree denmark, the government wants to change the way people pay, preferring people use cards or smart cones giving up on bills and coins. Some danes are not keen. Nicholas has more. Nicholas pain with your smart phone or a card is the future, certainly paying with your smart phone or a card is the future, certainly in denmark. If the Danish Parliament gives the ok, the measure will come next year, and the goal is to help his this is but what makes plenty of sense to the Younger Generation is just another headache for the elderly that are not up to speed in parts of copenhagen. That cannot be possible. There is an older population and they are not used to cards yet. Nicholas one out of three games use a mobile app. Adding to the generation gap is the mood that going entirely cash free is not feasible. Some of our staff face losing tips and have mixed feelings about the prospects of the cashless customer. Crux it is good and bad. It would be harder to steal. At the same time, there could be problems if the system shuts down, the bar could be stopped no more service if you cannot change over to cash. Nicholas switching could well be slower than the government likes. William nearly every major carmaker says they will offer apple pay or google, and General Motors says they will offer both. Gm said they will be available in seven chevrolet models starting this summer. The move is proof that carmakers own devices were not as if he appealing. Lets listen to the gm product manager. Everyone is attached to their smart phones. With these technologies we are enabling more than 90 of the Global Smartphone market to have one of these options available to them. Now, for the other smart phone companies out there whether it is blackberry, microsoft, we still have bluetooth connectivity in our vehicle. William one last story we know the phrase it is all in a name. Here is a list of some of the bestknown companies and what they were named for the became household brands. I took a part of the list. Google, best buy yahoo , but google used to be known as back rub. Best by was sound of music. Pepsi was brads drink. Subway was heaters peters super submarines. Playboy was stag party. What i like is google has become a verb. It is not as catchy to say back rub it. Molly just back rub it. It sounds odd. Stag party, not bad. Thank you for a look at the Top Business News. It is time for our press review. All right, it is time to take a look at what is grabbing headlines across the world. I am joined by florence femina. I have one word, fifa. Florence fifa is the story of the day. The Corruption Scandal is global and getting a lot of attention across the world. So many front pages are talking about the scandal. I picked out a couple. China daily is talking about how the top officials were held in a raid in switzerland yesterday as the u. S. Corruption inquiry rocks fee for. Fifa. A similar story on the wall street journal front page. You have photos of some of the top officials arrested. It is a huge story in the u. K. As well, just to give you an idea of the scale of things. Somebody tweeted this photo, a collage of some of the front pages. You can see they are all focusing on the scandal. We can to get closer look at just one of them. The guardian is talking about the stench of corruption, with a photo of the man of the hour, fee for president Sepp Blatter Fifa president sepp blatter. Molly they are talking about a sad day for the popular sport. Florence the independent, sums up the emotion talking about the shame game. The greatest scandal in sporting history. Quite harsh words there. In their editorial, they talk about how this is really a red card for fee for fifa. They applaud the u. S. , Justice System for setting into motion what it calls a longoverdue cleanup of fifa. Lots of papers are picking up on the fact that it is funny it is coming from the u. S. , a country where soccer or football really is not that popular. In the New York Times they also pick up on this detail. They are also talking about how this corruption really stains world soccer and i picked out a cartoon from a swiss cartoonist. He drew this for a swiss paper. It sums up the emotion you are getting in the press today. You see two boys. One is saying when i grew up i want to be a football star, and right next to him the bully says when i grow up i want to be a fifa official. Molly lets focus on the fifa president , sepp blatter. We are hearing mounting calls for him to go. Florence absolutely. Lets look at a criticism he is getting. The sun the british tabloid known for its popular front pages, not talking about sepp blatter but septic bladder. Also, an interview of a top official that was critical of the system of corruption, critical of sepp blatter and his predecessor, who really originated initiated the system. You can see his description of fifa. He says fifa is a mafia. Liberation is also channeling some mafia vibes. The front page looks like the photo from the godfather, and theyre not talking about cosa nostra, the famous mob group from sicily, but fifa nostra. People are also pointing the finger at sepp blatter. There is a call for him to step down. They are talking about mr. Blatter get lost. The 17 years have been a disgrace do it for the sport of football, but also your country you are making all of switzerland look back bad. This is especially at a time once was when this trying to improve its act. Molly what will change with this investigation . Florence a lot of people are wondering if this will be the end of a certain era. A christian paper here in france wishful thinking, perhaps, but it says it could be the end to an era where there is corruption in sporting associations. That being said, they said there is a certain complacency from the public, namely football fans. It is not a secret there has been corruption in fifa and other organizations and index recalls on football fans to act a little bit, and it calls on football fans to act out, talk a little bit. It is not limited to liberation. They say it is sexist, homophobic, closes its eyes on racism. They call for a major cleanup and they say governments need to do something because on the one hand governments talk about ethics, etc. , but they do not speak out against organizations like fifa, because they
