cup in brazil. 32 soccer teams head it through a 2-year process, and over the next month they'll determine a winner of the trophy. as the tournament approaches f.i.f.a. is facing criticism on all sides. a brazilian fan unable to get tickets to any world cup matches blamed top officials with f.i.f.a., international soccer's governing body. >> translation: f.i.f.a., sepp blatter and other are joking. >> reporter: over-400,000 tourists are expected to flock to brazil to watch what is known as the beautiful game. thousands are protesting the billions spent to host the cup. >> we cannot participate. we can only watch on tv. on the other hand 250,000 families have no home.

>> of the cups that i covered i never have seen a political atmosphere as in brazil. it's a new generation, they are not taking it. bus fares went up. parents are moved out of favelas, people are being inconvenienced so rich people, tourists, multinationals, f.i.f.a. can come in and have a party at their expense. >> the protest may have overshadowed the world cup, and f.i.f.a. faces questions regarding qatar's winning bid. there has been allegations of vote buying and corruption. many are unhappy with the prospect of playing games. former cole gymist fears sepp platter will not be able to

repair. he says the allegations are reminiscent of the response to the winning u.s. bids to host the summer olympics in atlanteda and winter olympics in salt late city. >> this is nothing new. in my open country there were allegations of gift buying, faces and jobs, that the ioc delegates knew that sons and deals. the ioc cleaned up the app and the ioc, compared to five is the boy scouts and the girl scouts. despite the controversies, the world cup begins on thursday. after a champion is grounded. questions about the costs and the benefits. rio is slated to host the

olympics two years from now. the world cup kicks off on thursday, watched by hundreds of millions, and generates billions in revenue. most of the money comes from ticket sales, and broadcast rights. not everyone is happy about brazil hosting the world cup. 10,000 people marched on wednesday to protest the amount of money spent on the games. the government should spend it on education and health care. after reviewed corruption allegations, world cup sponsors call for an investigation into qatar. the company's extreme weather and lack of soccer tradition make it a poor chis. let's continue the conversation. for more on this let's bring in brett, a senior writer at e.s.p.n. and an author of a new book. from brazil's largest city, sao paulo, we are joined by al

jazeera's correspondent. this is a mess. looking back to 2007, did f.i.f.a. get it right? >> well, there's nothing wrong with taking the big event like the one and olympics to non-traditional environments. i support that. when you do, you have to do your due dill fence. i'm not sure that f.i.f.a. did. you mentioned the extreme weather in june and july when the world cup is traditionally played. they are upwards of 150 degrees farenheit, untenable for an event like this. >> when we break down the costs, they promised a lot. they talk about using private funds. now here we are. $900 million, public funds. >> f.i.f.a. is no stranger to scandal. it's a business of cyclical scandal. one after the other, and it's not answerable to anybody.

it's not beholden to a government or any constituencies. so these problems and questions will arise. >> which is why we see a number of protests. brazil is spending a bit of money. 14 billion to host the world cup. it plans on using the same infrastructure. that's $3.5 billion that south africa spent four years ago, and more than twice as much as germany. germany had much of its infrastructure in place before winning the bid. we mentioned russia. it estimates it will spend $22 billion to stage the next world cup. by 2022, qatar plans to spend five times as much as the hosts combined. is there any significant benefits to hosting the games? >> in brazil, as you mention

they are spending a lot of money with stadiums, airports and everything else. they hope to bring in as much as $15 billion from the world cup. now, that's the government estimation. some say it may be a little high or it won't be. the government says they'll bring in money, given how many tourists are coming. there's 3 million brazilian tourists spending money as well. the government says it's not as bad as an investment as it's made out to be. that's what the government's response to that is. of course, is brazil going to make a tonne of money? no. it's a country with the 7th largest economy. $15 billion is not much in the keem of things. there'll be cost offsets to what

they are spending. >> a large number of brazilians don't want the world cup, they are holding up signs f.i.f.a., go away. when you consider the social ills and issues that they are facing. >> absolutely, no doubt about it. last june during the federations cup there were a million people that went to the streets protesting. the numbers have gone down. they are protesting, we haven't seen the millions from last june. most of the protesters say they are not necessarily against the world cup, but are using it to shake the government and say we need better health care and public transfor takes and schools. they are using it as a means of getting the message out. you'll get a group of brazilians

wanting nothing to do with it, with pictures saying "go home", but you see people saying "we are not necessarily against the world cup, this is brazil after all, but we are against overspending or corruption in stadium building where we could be building hospitals. it is nuanced. when you look at the allegations of corruption are the companies or businesses getting a sweetheart feel from the government? >> it's all part of the same package. what is happening with the common man there is interesting. the cost of living is rising in brazil because of the prosperity and the world cup, but it's not - the rising tide is not lifting all boats. the people on the bottom are not

seeing the benefit and that's where a lot of outrage comes. >> do you have concerns about f.i.f.a.? >> undoubtedly. i don't know a fan or anyone interested in the sport who doesn't. f.i.f.a., among the sport bodies have the lowest reputation. because of this constant acquaintance with scanned that will that is brought fourth. why is that. is there no true regulation. >> f.i.f.a. is a charity, and it's not overseen by a government bod oi or behold ep to a constituency. the fans have no say, and it's really a fact of the sports great popularity globally. it traverses different cultures, languages and economies and on

some levels is ungovernable. the way five operates it's defensive of that. there's a long history of corruption allegations surrounding world cup bids following russia's bid to host the 2018 world cup. there were allegations of corruption. the former president of f.i.f.a. was forced to resign in 1998 after accusations of accepting millions in bribes much the former vice president was accused of taking bribe money from australia for its bid on the 2022 world cup. how is the world responding to allegations coming out of qatar? >> interesting, with greater shock than we have seen before in relation to f.i.f.a. corruption. three of the largest sponsors for f.i.f.a., sony, visa and adeedize for the first time, and

now are putting pressure on f.i.f.a., that they must look into the allegations appropriately, and there must be a conclusion here. >> why should fans care? do they seem complacent about the corrupt role? >> not here in brazil. i can speak to brazil. not here at all. like what was being said. there is some real sentiment by the brazilian people, all the the way up to the top that f.i.f.a. is heavy-handed. i said a few minutes ago that most brazilians are not against the world cup, it doesn't mean they are not against f.i.f.a. they have been heavy-handed in brazil. i had dinner with the ft of b z braz -- with the president of

ruse eff and she didn't want to speak about them. she wanted to move on to a different subject. the one is a private party. brazil is hosting it. what a lot of brazilians are not hope about is a lot of f.i.f.a. officials would go abroad, leave and be critical, but come back and say "oh, we have full confidence in you." it will be interesting to see what the officials say on the record. i think they are biting their tongue. there's no love loss between the people and the government. >> should this raise major flags when it comes to the games in brazil. >> i lived in brazil for a couple of years. certainly we know about the beeches and the parties. brazil is a wild place. outside of some of the major

financial centers down there, life is kind of out of control to a certain degree. when you have major international events, lucrative events that come to an environment like that, necessarily the money - a lot of it - disappears. >> what are you talking about, the favelas, the slum areasful. >> not just that. i lived in a territory 24 hours north of rio, we are talking about all levels of society - from education to problems with drugs and alcohol, to seen pregnancy. a lot of social ills run through all levels of society in brazil. it's not to say that brazil is a bad country. >> the issue of child prostitution. are they equipped to handle security there, for the players

and the fans. >> brazil will have thousands of officials on the streets. it's more than five times than in germany. brazil is a dangerous country. they think they have security under control. they think they have the forces on the streets, the boots on the ground. but there's a lot of security. there'll be army on the streets, a lot of security. no doubt about it. brazil says they'll be ready for the security. no doubt about it. like your guests said, it's a dangerous country, the government thinks a lot of doomsday scenarios of drug traffickers, kidnapping tourists, the government doesn't thing that will happen. let's norte forget, this is a country hosting carnival. it is a country that never

hosted anything since 1950, but they are experienced with hosting hundreds of thousands on the streets. looking at brasilia, the capital, the most expensive stadium. i drove out 45 minutes away from the stadium, there's a public hospital where people are waiting days to see a doctor. so this kind of plays into where you see some of the social unrest, people are waiting days to see a doctor, yet 45 minutes away, half an hour away the county is building a $81 million football stadium. a woman says what can i do when my killed is sick, the hospital will not help him. the dichotomy between the spending for the world cup, when you see hospitals where people have to wait a long time to see a doctor. they are not making brazilians happy and being the for example

a little that your guest was talking about. >> and final moments, are there areas of concerns for the world cup in the week ahead. >> certainly you might want to look out for manipulated matches. the head of security in f.i.f.a. pointed out the fact that the final game in the group stage involves teams that are eliminated from tournaments. >> match fixing. >> yes, it's a scourge of the game. the teams that are eliminated - they are not playing for anything. there'll be massive betting on the games. they'll be susceptible to an preach. >> is there anything to fux the corrupt system. >> f.i.f.a. - that's a tough solution there. f.i.f.a. needs a fatal restructuring, a change in the culture, a change in leadership.

andreas seppi -- sepp blatter has been there for a long time. it needs to change. we'll see. the world cup starts thirst. blet, a senior writer at e.s.p.n. and our correspondent from brazil. let's look at other event - monday - 11th annual islamic world forum held in doha. started after 9/11 it bring together people from the muslim world and the united states. tuesday - controversy surrounding the prisoner explain of army sergeant bowe bergdahl. saturday - the g7 group of nations holds its 57th summit in bolivia next, nuclear arsenal - environmental dangers that linger. severe weather across the south. we show you where strong storms are headed tonight.

welcome back. not every anniversary is worth celebrating. 25 years ago this weekend the u.s. government raided itself. paul beban tells us what happened at colorado at the rockie flats nuke here weapons plant. >> reporter: this is wroky flats -- rocky flats today, more than 6,000 wide open empty space north-west of denver. from 1952 to 1989 rocky flats was a department of energy factory, the top secret core of america's nuclear weapons programme, cranking out thousands of flute ownium triggers for the country's cold

war arsenal. jack weaver worked at rocky flats for 41 years. on-june 6, 1989, ha was a plutonium manager. >> i had a call were my boss saying "the fbi is on site, anything they want, give it to them." my suspicions were that i was going to get interviewed, go to court, gaol. >> reporter: the raid - the only time one agency raided another uncovered environmental crimes, involving mishandling of radioactive waste. rockwell, the company running rocky flats paid an 18 million fine. a 10-year, $7 million clean-up would follow. from high above rocky flats, it's clear everything would be demolished and carted away. the dangerling -- danger

lingered unseen. barely a mile away new houses are springing up and families moving in. >> it breaks my heart. christen grew up here, and worked here in the 1980s. she wrote a book about the risk to workers, the surrounding area and the secrecy. >> one of the biggest problems was the fires, there was over a warning or evacuation. the two dangerous fires were in 1957 and 1959. during both of those fires we came close to a chernobyl like event here at rocky flats that would have devastated the metro area. iverson is appalled by the new housing developments. >> what do you want to tell the people in these homes. >> i think most of the people who buy and move into the homes

don't know about rocky flat, the story, the history or what is out there. >> that man works for the environment department and cord nates restoration. >> the official position is rocky flats it no longer a toxic site. >> it is no longer. it was cleaned to national and safe standards. >> reporter: the history of rocky flats is on display at the center for arts and humanities, but any lingering controversy has not diminished jack's sense of rocky flat legacy. we managed to end the cold war because of what we did. and for that i feel very proud. >> reporter: after thousands of lawsuits the u.s. officially has begun to compensate sick workers. it paid out 400 million to 2400 people. just five months after that fbi

raid, the berlin wall would fall and two years later the soviet union would follow. the bombs that it built remains in the u.s. arsenal and the place's story is far from over. wal-mart is speaking out about a deadly accident involving a truck. the crash left comedian tracy morgan and two others in critical condition. one passenger was killed. wal-mart says it will take fall responsible if the truck caused the crash. a preliminary investigation revealed the driver failed to notice slow of moving traffic. tracy morgan is in intensive care. his rep said he's responsive. >> in canada a manhunt is under way to find three men who escaped a detention center. it happened outside of quebec city. the three men you are about to see escaped with the help of a

helicopter. it landed inside prison gates and picked them up. >> there's a massive, as i said with our partners in quebec and canada and the states, everybody is giving a hand to find them as quickly as possible. >> this is not the first time a prison break happened in quebec. in march 2nd prisoners climated a rope ladder. they were picked up a few hours later. next - rebecca stevenson tracks strong storms across america. we'll get an update on the weather.
