Witnessing the fact from all over the continent as well as dignitaries that include the French Foreign minister and u. S. Secretary of state john kerry, getting a big round of applause when he arrived. One person in the crowd shouting, we are the United States of nigeria. With the setbacks in boko haram the with the setbacks boko haram, the falling price of oil here is molly lets take a look at more of the challenges that mohammed that mohammed do buhari faces. Falling oil prices, the known ordination of the in legos, the inlayin lagos power is in short supply. Many hope the president elect will addressed the gross mismanagement of his predecessor. Every day, in my village, people are suffering. No work, no good school, no good food. Buhari faces a series of problems. He promised to eliminate corruption, which is seemingly entrenched at the highest levels of government. We have corruption in the oil industry. There is corruption and power. If buhari can follow through on his election pledge, the economy stands a fighting chance. We would reduce at least 30 of the money that comes into i do gery a into nigeria. Another challenge boko haram, which has left much of the northeast is a country in tatters. Nigerians want to see more concrete efforts. We have to consolidate. Dartcharged charged with defeating boko haram, buhari will also have to deal with an oil crisis. 30 of the population is out of work. Molly while being sworn in buhari says he will tackle nigerias problems head on. That coming in as he has been sworn in as nigerias new president. It is a decisive day for sepp blatter. The fifa resident is up for reelection despite intense pressure to resign. A massive Corruption Scandal has rocked the world of football. The vote will take place later today in zurich.

Molly for more on this story, i am joined by the editor and author of a biography of sepp blatter. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us. I would like to ask you we have this vote, which has gone ahead, is going ahead today even though there have been calls for is postponement. For its postponement. How much backing does sepp blatter have at this moment . Almost nobody knows what happens tonight. From my point of view, he is really well backed. He has the africans and the asians behind him. Part of south america, and it should be the majority. But you never know what is happening. Something is suddenly occurring but if it goes the normal way it is done. Molly the vote will take place in a few hours time to read we will know more later on. Lets talk more about fifa. Some have compared it to the mafia, concerning the scandal that has come to the forefront this week. How much of the way that fifa operates on, lets just say in terms of its negative connotations coming to light how much of that is due to how sepp blatter ran things, or how he inherited things when he came onto the job 17 years ago . A hard question. I think he is inheriting 17 years ago he was inheriting, in fact, quite a lot of people from around the world, getting used to pay bills or compete how they want. Nevertheless, he is the president , and he is a responsible person who knows quite a lot about all this stuff. Molly that being said, we heard sepp blatter say it is individuals and not fifa who are responsible for any corruption. Is that a credible argument coming from this boss or any boss in that matter . In the normal business or economic world, it is quite unusual. But we are yes, we are looking on a situation here on a real situation about football, and it is a bit different. Fifa has the monopoly for world football, right . That changes quite a lot. That is why they can make their own laws. Nevertheless, again, i think that mr. Blatter has to take some responsibility. Molly if you are saying he needs to take some responsibility, we have seen in the past previous scandals concerning and surrounding blatter, but nothing has really stuck. Do you think this time around will be a different story . It is a different story. It has been december 2 2010, since mr. Blatter has been charged with a World Championship final in 2022. Since then, everything has changed. Since then, people understood that some things are wrong. Molly thank you very much for joining us here on the program to talk about the ongoing fifa scandal.

Todays stops in berlin and poland, cameron met with angela merkel. On thursday, he will head to the netherlands and here to france, where he had dinner with the french president , francois hollande. We will bring you more on it as it comes in. The u. K. Has opted out of a brussels plan to relocate asylumseekers across the region. France is expected to take in some 9000 migrants. In paris, police say a makeshift migrant cap near one of the citys main train stations will be cleared. Some of those in paris are living in very poor conditions as Nick Rushworth explains. That they are just a stones throw nick around 360 migrants from east africa have set up tents some just on mattresses. Across the mediterranean from ethiopia, this man has been here for two weeks and says there is food and water but little else. We come here one or two times a day. There is no shower, no toilet here.

The people on board this boat that was found today, the number has not been made clear. This comes as a regional summit has come in bangkok. For the latest, we can go to our correspondent standing by in the thai capital. What do you have for us this hour . This meeting has been going on since this morning, almost 10 hours now. They have been discussing serious and crucial issues affecting the region. There are also members of the United States government and other governments in the region as well. It reflects the seriousness of the situation here. We expect some kind of a statement, that it seems to have been delayed. This could be down to discussions around what people are discussing on that is specifically the persecution of the minority in burma there. They flatly refused to even discuss the issue. They said the revenge are not citizens of their country. The region has a difficulty in coming together to deal with these extremely difficult issues. When we look at it, it is a region that is run by consensus and there are a lot of facesaving tactics going on. We think there may be some kind of resolution trying to address them, but it is unlikely that malaysia, indonesia, close partners of burma will take up this issue and we are still at a loss to find a solution. Molly thank you very much for that update.
