Football's governing body FIFA has released documents saying its former president Joao Havelange and his former son-in-law Ricardo Teixeira received illegal payment. The document showed between 1992 and 2000, the two men took more than 22 millions Swiss francs. Now more than 22 million dollars in payment from FIFA's former marketing partner. Imogen Foulkes reports form Geneva.
FIFA was forced into publishing this document after months of resistance . It confirmed what was widely expected. Former FIFA officials did indeed accept millions of dollars in payment from FIFA's former marketing partner ISL. The publication comes in the midst of the campaign by FIFA to tackle corruption after widespread allegations that the football's governing body has acted improperly for a many years.
The Syrian ambassador to Iraq, Nawaf Fares is reported to have defected. If confirmed, he will be the first senior Syrian diplomat to abandon the government of president Bashar al-Assad. Mr. Fares who was appointed ambassador to Baghdad in 2008 and was the first Syria envoy to Iraq for nearly three decades. He is a Baath Party loyalist and former governor of several provinces. Jim Muir reports from Beirut.
Assuming Mr. Fares' defection is confirmed, it will be a clear sign of the stresses generated by the continuing and intensifying violence. Opposition sources say they believe that more ambassadors were planning to follow suit . But it is clearly good news for the opposition whose hopes of persuading the Russians to take a tougher line of the Assad regime have drawn blank. After talks in Moscow, Abdulbaset Sayda, the leader of the main opposition umbrella group-the Syrian National Council, was especially critical of Russia's position, saying it was allowing the violence to continue.
Rebels in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo have threatened to march on the town of Goma if the Congolese government fails to protect the population. Rebels of the M23 said Rwandans living in Goma, the members of the Tutsi ethnic group had been harassed . Here is Mark Doyle.
The threat to possibly take Goma came during a press conference held by leaders of the rebel group which has military positions just north of the city. A Congolese bishop, Jean-Marie Runiga, presented himself at the press conference as one of the rebel leaders. He said members of particular ethnic groups including ethnic Tutsis were being beaten and killed by government's supporters in Goma because of their perceived links to the rebels. It's not clear whether the threat to attack Goma will be followed a coup.

官方組織Fifa公布文件稱前主席足球喬·阿維蘭熱及其前女婿里卡多?特謝拉非法收款。文件顯示1992到2000年期間，這兩人獲得超過2200萬瑞士法郎?，F(xiàn)在有超過2200萬美元的資金是Fifa的市場伙伴支付的。Imogen Foulkes在日內(nèi)瓦報道。

經(jīng)過幾個月的不情愿，F(xiàn)ifa最終被迫公開這些文件，現(xiàn)已承認(rèn)廣泛認(rèn)為的事實。Fifa前官員確實從前市場伙伴ISL公司收取了數(shù)百萬美元。此前據(jù)說該足球官方組織行為不端已多年，F(xiàn)ifa為此開始解決腐敗問題，這些文件就是這個時候公布的。

據(jù)悉敘利亞駐伊拉克大使法里斯現(xiàn)已變節(jié)。如果此事屬實，他就是背棄阿薩德政府的第一位敘利亞高級外交官。法里斯2008年被任命為駐巴格達(dá)大使，是近30年來首位駐伊拉克的敘利亞使節(jié)。他是復(fù)興黨效忠者，曾是幾個省的州長。Jim Muir在貝魯特報道。

如果法里斯變節(jié)一事屬實，這顯然表明持續(xù)且加劇的暴力產(chǎn)生的壓力很大。反對派稱他們相信會有更多大使效仿 法里斯。反對派希望能勸說俄羅斯對阿薩德政權(quán)采取更強(qiáng)硬路線，而這個愿望卻泡了湯，所以大使變節(jié)一事這對反對派來說絕對是好消息。莫斯科會談后，主要反對派敘利亞全國委員會領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人Abdulbaset Sayda嚴(yán)厲批評俄羅斯的立場，稱這樣會使暴力繼續(xù)進(jìn)行。

剛果民主共和國東部的叛軍威脅說，如果剛果政府未能保護(hù)民眾，就要挺進(jìn)Goma鎮(zhèn)。叛軍“M23”稱居住在Goma的盧旺達(dá)人和Tutsi少數(shù)族裔受到了騷擾。Mark Doyle報道。

這個叛軍組織在Goma北部就有軍事駐地，其領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人在新聞發(fā)布會期間威脅說可能要奪取Goma。剛果主教Jean-Marie Runiga在新聞發(fā)布會上自稱是叛軍領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，他說包括少數(shù)族裔Tutsis在內(nèi)的某些特定的族裔組織在Goma遭到政府支持者的毆打和殺害，原因是政府認(rèn)為他們與叛軍有關(guān)聯(lián)。尚不清楚威脅襲擊Goma會不會導(dǎo)致政變。

盡管美國對蘇丹實施經(jīng)濟(jì)制裁，蘇丹仍開放了非洲和中東最大制糖廠的建設(shè)。這個耗資8億美元的項目是由總統(tǒng)巴沙爾發(fā)起的。James Copnall報道。

早期產(chǎn)量預(yù)計為每年2.5噸，最終目標(biāo)是翻倍。此時蘇丹正處于經(jīng)濟(jì)困難時期，南蘇丹一年前脫離出來時，蘇 丹損失了四分之三的石油產(chǎn)量。蘇丹政府采取應(yīng)對措施，這個大型農(nóng)用工業(yè)項目就是其中之一。總統(tǒng)巴沙爾壓力很大，因為幾乎每天都有游行發(fā)生，原因是巴薩爾 23年執(zhí)政期間的高物價。

巴西參議院德莫斯特·托雷斯被驅(qū)逐出參議院，原因是他被指控與賭博團(tuán)伙有關(guān)聯(lián)。托雷斯是一名無黨派人士，他是巴西參議院188年歷史上第二位被逐出的參議員。警方稱托雷斯幫助一名被拘留的博彩業(yè)大亨的公司獲取利益，而自己得到了大筆報酬。托雷斯否認(rèn)行為不當(dāng)。
