financial plan - greece's prime minister heads to brussels, can he convince the e.u. to strike a deal? interpol issued a red notice for two former f.i.f.a. officials, and for a corporate executives jack warner the former head of the north and central american football association is among those on the international wanted personnel alerts. media reports suggest the outgoing head of football's governing body sepp blatter is under investigation for corruption by new york prosecutors and the f.b.i. prosecutors reportedly trying to indicted f.i.f.a. officials to cooperate to build a case against sepp blatter. he resigned tuesday. >> reporter: fewer days after his re-election as one the most powerful men in football a shook announcement from

f.i.f.a.'s long serving president. sepp blatter said the organization needed profound rescrubsz. -- reconstruction. >> reporter: although members of f.i.f.a. reelected me as president, this mandate does not seem supported by everywhere in the world of football. supporters, clubs, players, those that inspire life in football as much as we do in f.i.f.a. this is why i would call an extraordinary congress the extraordinary congress to elect a new president expected to take place between december and march next year. the 79-year-old swiss national was reelected to the presidency last friday and spent years building a network of support, especially in africa where football received growing investment. for the recent scandal it prompted many to call for his resignation, including the head of the english football association who welcomed the news. >> it's a good day for football. you know we needed change at

f.i.f.a. and this is the change we wanted. we are a bit smug and delighted. >> reporter: blatter's investigation came after a week where several people were roasted, includings two vice presidents part of a u.s. prosecution against four people. swiss authorities launched a criminal investigation around the 2018 and 2022 world cup bids won by russia and qatar. sepp blatter is not under investigation by swiss authorities, but under his watch the organization now faces its biggest challenge yet. after 17 years at the helm of f.i.f.a., sepp blatter's resignation paves the way for a new era in international football. let look at likely contenders to replace sepp blatter. prince ali bin hussain from

jordan ran a strong campaign against jordan. a long-time friend turned critic a former football league - football legend from france michael platini, long-time deputy of sepp blatter could be in the running, and from africa the president of the confederation of african football jerome valcke and a former french footballer has announced an intention to stand, david ginola. adidas provided the match ball since 1970 and had this to say:.

>> they threatened to pull out and said: the u.s. envoy to the international anti-i.s.i.l. coalition said all forces fighting against the group in iraq should fall under the authority of the government. we go to doha. >> i describe our campaign as organised across five lines of effort. first is a military component to deny safe haven and provide security assistance to our partners. second is disrupting the flow of foreign fighters. third is just disrupting access to the financial resources available locally to d.a.e.s.h. and through the international financial system. the fourth is providing humanitarian relief, and stabilisation support. and finally, countermessaging or defeating d.a.e.s.h. as an idea.

john alan in doha. fighting has continued in iraq. 38 have been injured. they have a large oil refinery, baiji, and has been the site of fierce fighting between i.s.i.l. and iraqi forces. rescuers in china are considering raising a cruise ship to find 400 passengers. another is drilling holes in the hull. "eastern star" was carrying mostly elderly tourists. 18 are confirmed dead. 14 have been rescued. droip sends this update -- adrian brown sends this update. >> this is where the weary rescuers come to rest - police, fire crews and divers working in shifts around the clock in treacherous waters.

the currents in the river, in this part of the river are very strong indeed. rescue officials discuss two options of reaching those. they still believe they could be alive. they are thinking of drilling three large holes into the upturned hull. the other plan under consideration is to try to lift the vessel. we saw two large barges beside the eastern star with cranes on either one, that's an operation that could beunderway in the coming hours. relatives of those missing have been arriving in the town of jinly, and it's from there the rescue operation is bing coordinated.anli, and it's from there the rescue operation is bing coordinated. and emotions are going from sadness to grief. they want to no why it sank so quickly and why the captain and chief engineer survived.

these are the questions people want answered. we are on call for this sadly becoming a serious maritime accident in china in recent times. >> meanwhile hundreds have been drifting off the coast in a crowded boat. they've been taken to nearby towns, where most of the persecuted rohingya minority live. it is not clear if the migrants are rohingya. commanders say they will not take action until they identify the 727 on board found stranded in a fishing boat in the andaman sea. we have more over the last few days we have heard from various state-level officials that the boat had 727 people will be moved to rakhine state. wednesday mark we had confirmation from the rakhine state that it would be moved to

maungdaw close to the border with bangladesh, and where the government is keeping a group of beat people found in myanmar borders on the 22 may, 10 days ago. the government says this small a group. most are from bangladesh but we don't know the identities of 720 people found on friday. when we spoke to the government spokesman an tuesday. he said they'd be moved to an undisclosed location before they are repatriated back to bangladesh suggesting that a verification exercise of the identities had been completed, but he later corrected the statement to say the verification exercise will be conducted and is ongoing. this whole attitude - the whole - the way the incident has been handled reflects the government's attitude towards this refugee and migrant crisis, and is in line with the government's eagerness to portray the boat people as being

economic migrants from bangladesh. the government refuses to acknowledge that many of the people getting on boats are, in fact the rohingya, and an ethnic minority in myanmar is subject to discrimination and persecution, who had to be segregated few lights and be stateless and friendless. the myanmar government refuses to acknowledge that their policies contributed to the crisis, and said the problem is one of human trafficking and many of the people are, in fact economic migrants from bangladesh south korean president park geun-hye said everything must be done to stop the spread of m.e.r.s. making the comments at a meeting to discuss the outbreak, doctors diagnose five new cases bringing the total to 30. >> m.e.r.s. cases have increased in two weeks, a lot have been worried about the situation

since two patients died. everything must be done to stop further spread. middle east respiratory syndrome is a serious december that emerged in saudi arabia in 2012 it include flu-like symptoms fever, coughing severe complications such as pneumonia and kidney failure. 3 out of four people who contact the virus have died. >> the number of new infections is five, bringing the total to 30 including a man that travelled from south korea against medical advice to china and is in quarantine in china. one is a tertiary infection, mean that person was not infected directly by the man that came back from the middle east with the virus, but one of the other people that he infected. there are three confirmed cases and that is something that the authorities here are concerned about, making sure that if they can, that they restrict the

sorts of infections to the largest extent possible. if they transition between several generations, if you line of infection, it makes it more difficult to control. so far more than 1300 people in quarantine either at home or in hospital. over 100 are in hospital. the government is not saying which hospitals are used because they don't want to spread concern. it's fertile ground for resume ours lots of rumours on social where, naming hospitals, saying "don't go to this office", one hospital launching legal action and parent becoming concerned about that telling principals of schools near hospitals named in this way to close the schools down. 209 schools closed down in this fashion in most of those in the province that surrounds the capital sole

still to come - a report by a canadian commission says the treatment of children in boarding schools amount to cultural genocide. >> the u.s. calls on the government in burundi to hold talks to end a political deadlock.

let's look at some of our top stories. the outgoing head of football's governing body sepp blatter is reportedly under investigation by u.s. prosecutors and the federal bureau of investigation,

all because of a corruption scandal that hit f.i.f.a. two former f.i.f.a. officials and corporate executives are wanted for charges of racket earring and bribery. >> the envoy to the anti-i.s.i.l. coalition says it's critical that all the forces battling the armed group of iraq comes out of the government's authority, john alan said i.s.i.l. is a problem with global implications. rescuers in china are considering raising a cap sized cruise ship. another option is drilling holes in the hull. the "eastern star", was carrying mostly elderly people alexis tsipras is hoping to strike a deal to save his country. the e.u. has another plan. >> reporter: given what we know

at the moment, there appears to be three differences between the proposal that the breaks submitted on monday night, and that is submitted by creditors. the biggest of those three seem to be that the greeks were proposing to spend no more than a billion on home grown tax revenue, and that would rise double and rise there after. for now the greeks wants a reprieve and limit how much of this economy, which is struggling to break back into growth, they spend on repaying foreign debt. the creditors propose they spend $6.5 million. this would be a deal breaker for the greeks. if there's one reason the government was elected, it was to reschedule the debt so it could be repaid over a longer period and lower the amount that was spent each year. some money could be spent on

being reinvested in the economy. the second main difference is because there are two documents on the table, the greeks want theirs adopted as a basis for talks into the euro working group meeting, but also in the meetings that will take place this week among finance minister of the eurozone. the third difference is a perceived revenue gap. the greeks think they'll have a revenue shortfall from taxes of about a billion. the creditors think it will be twice that. they have to arrive at an agreement on how to plug the gap. >> here the egyptian president arriving in germany a short while ago, expected to firm up a number of energy deals. abdul fatah al-sisi's visit decided issues among the politicians. he'll hold talks with the german chancellor. the head of parliament refused to meet him citing a lack of

democratic prospect. general elections are taking place in turkey on sunday. the ruling party is expected to win again. opposition parties were hoping to increase the votes by focussing on economic problems. we have this report from istanbul. istanbul. >> reporter: for the first time in many years, turk irk's opposition is -- turkish's opposition is trying to change their image. the main opposition csp, is focussing on the economy, so is the national opposition part yes, the national movement or nhp. for both the issues of secularism religion and nationalism is not the top priority. chp has been holing rallies like this -- holding ralies like this across turkey promising to improve people's lives and increasing the minimum wage.

>> i don't know how the leader of the chp got it right. he's promising more money to us. the general of the chp has been touring the streets of istanbul meeting and greeting potential voters. he says his party's campaign will resonate a voter. unemployment is as high as 6.5 million. it 10 million retired people are struggling to resign. 43 million are in death, what kind of economic picture does this present. >> the opposition message could appeal to voters winning an election is unlikely. the ruling party won every election since it came to power in 2002. the nhp failed to win enough votes. in the last general election they won around 60% of the votes.

voters were not sure about the opposition, and the failure. some analysts believe the parties need to address some core beliefs such as secularism which alienated conservative voters. >> it only appeals strongly to a segment of the waters and chp has to become a party that can appeal to putting a vote to all segments of the voters, in a democratic sense and idea logical sense. >> the international movement is seen as ultra nationalist and opposeds a peace process with the kurds. opposition is unlikely to win, but hope their popularity will increase and they'll have more seats in parliament the u.n. is calling for dialogue between burundi's

ruling party and the opposition to end more than a month of violence. protesters returned to the streets to oppose a decision to run for a third term. haru mutasa sent this report from the capital. >> reporter: the police in burundi are ready. they know people opposed to the president president's third-term bid want to offer more protests. opposition wants to fight back, but can't get people to join because of heavy police presence. >> the police came. they shot at the people protesting. i was in the house. when i came out i heard the noise. >> some seemed too scared to join in, what was supposed to be a protest on tuesday didn't happen. it's a cat and mouse game between the police and the protesters, the police moved in, trying to disperse, using for

now what looks like tear gas. people keep shouting, they won't go off the streets, they'll continue protesting. there was a tear gas cannister. it could inspire some of them. many have dispersed into the allies nearby. african leaders hand pierre nkurunziza to postpone the elections. >> we believe as a government we can only play our part, as a government. we cannot play the protesters parts, and cannot be on the streets with them. definitely not. we don't know why. they are on the streets as we speak. the thing is the government

will fully comply with the decisions of the summit. >> reporter: that summit of leaders called for voting to be delayed because of unrest. burundi said election proposed holding parliamentary and presidential elections next month. people have been protesting for weeks. it's not about delaying the poll, they want the president to go. >> a memorial has been held off the u.s. president signed into law legislation that restricts collecting phone records of americans. earlier the freedom act was overhauled. >> reporter: what the u.s.a. fraed some act does -- freedom act does is restores the n.s.a. powers with minor modifications. no longer will the government record the date time length

and phone number of phone calls, private companies will do this. the other change is the government will have to get a court order from the foreign intelligence surveillance court. there are many not celebrating the resumption in surveillance. i can tell you what it shows is a shift in american attitudes, the fact that there was a debate on the legislation, for so many years, the decisions that inspire have been rubber-stamped. that was not the case. it lapsed for more than a day and a half before the powers are destroyed. it shows a shift in american stoouts where after september 11th attacks, they were willing to trade privacy for what they perceive to be increased security. that is no longer the case with the younger generations of

americans. they were less trusting with the government and more willing to change authority edward snowden says mass surveillance doesn't work he's the former contractor with the n.s.a. whose revelations about spying led to an outcry. >> in terms of intelligence gathering or surveillance, you know, watching our adversaries, you have to remember the fact that we have a proven history now that the programs are not effective in the united states. we are a little ahead of the game. we have had the boston marathon, where the defendants were identified and known to intelligence services. despite the fact they were watching they didn't thwart the attack. the question is why. the answer is when you have individuals like me, responsible, going to a desk and searching through the world's communications from the previous day, week, month, you realise

very quickly that though we collect everything, we understand nothing report no canada's policy of forceablely separating indigenous children from the families has been branded as a cultural genocide. thousands of children were sent to schools to be asim litted. the last school closed in the 1990s. as alan fisher reports, victims carry emotional scars.

>> reporter: for the indigenous people of canada, the first nations knew this was a moment tore tears and cheers. for more than 100 years generations of children have been forced into res condition -- residential schools, all in an effort, said the government, to civilize the indian. >> this has been a difficult, inspiring and painful journey for all of us. the residential school experience is one of most darkest troubling chapters history. >> annie johnson spent 10 years in a school in british columbia. she left at the age of 15. 50 years on she still carries emotional scars. >> messages that they gave us, like we were heathens we were pagans. my way of life was no good.

at five you believe everything they told you . i'm 65 now, 60 years passed and i'm still deal with some of that. so much more is known because of a court case won five years ago. and part st settlement was a truth and reconciliation commission. they have gathered the country, gathering testa. -- testimony lipping to survivors. everyone is lined up for a copy of the report. the report makes 94 recommendations. the head of the assembly of first nation says it will mean nothing unless also action. >> the operative word is implementation and action. there's no sense having a report with recommendations and calls to action unless the government takes it seriously. it's thought more than 6,000 died in the schools. it was thought it could be higher. record keeping was poor. the guilty could hide their secret. for many, they hope the report is not the end, but the beginning for them, their people and canada
