The president of Fifa, Gianni Infantino, is under increasing pressure over his now-cancelled plan to sell stakes in the World Cup and other tournaments.
The European football confederation UEFA has said it has no confidence in him, and is threatening legal action. The football associations of Wales, Finland, Sweden and Serbia have withdrawn their support for his re-election as president, and England’s football association is set to follow suit.
The BBC’s sports reporter Joe Lynskey tells us how Mr Infantino has won favour with football authorities over his decade running Fifa – and what it will take for him to hang on now.
We also hear about Infantino’s close relationship with US President Donald Trump, whose extended family was linked to Fifa’s partial privatisation plans. The main investor was due to be Joshua Kushner, whose brother Jared Kushner is President Trump’s son-in-law.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino says he has scrapped the controversial plan to sell off stakes in the governing body’s major competitions, following widespread opposition.
Infantino said it had become clear the project had “created divisions” that are “no longer in the interest” of its original objective.
The Swiss official added: “As a result, this proposal will not proceed.”
Infantino had offered all 211 member associations $40m (£30m) if they backed a proposal for private investment in its tournaments, including the men’s and women’s World Cups.

The chilling story of Hull’s funeral home horror. How an undertaker drowning in debt betrayed hundreds of grieving families.
Robert Bush hoarded bodies, sold fake funeral plans and presented families with the ashes of strangers. His shocking crimes went undetected for years.
The discovery led to one of the most complex investigations in Humberside Police’s history, with help from the National Crime Agency.
At the heart of this are grieving families. In their darkest days, they fought for laws to regulate the funeral industry so that others never suffer their pain – or guilt – again.

However, Uefa – which governs European football – responded by voting to boycott World Cups if the plans went ahead, and other governing bodies also voiced their opposition.

Getting rid of colonialism is a good step toward Africa as its own continent . You should have your own money backed up with all the gold and minerals that you have. In few decades you would become number one continent in prosperity and thriving. All you have to do is get rid of the shackles from France , Britain , USA .

Fake coup. I see France at work behind the scenes. He is of the Bongo family, wi i believe he is being put there to keep the status quo. Lets see if he will implement anti France policies to stop the flow of weath and natural resources to France.
