hard earned future... a real look at the american dream hard earned only on al jazeera america >> announcer: this is al jazeera. welcome to the newshour i'm richelle carey in doha. coming up, a shot in the arm for i.s.i.l. several sunni tribes in iraq pledge support to the rebel group. did yemen's former president cooperate with al qaeda, an informants talks to al jazeera. a former f.i.f.a. executive admits to taking bribes for the 2008 and 2010 world cups

another promises to reveal more. a food scare in india, maggie necessarily noodles order said off the shelves. i.s.i.l. fighters have been given a boost in the war against the iraqi government. several sunni sheikhs and tribes have pledged allegiance to the islamic state of iraq and levant. after meeting in fallujah they pledged support to the head of i.s.i.l. abu bakr al-baghdadi. >> translation: we announce our support to the caliphate state sheikh abu bakr al-baghdadi. we tell him we'll adhere to and follow his path and stand by him to fight the enemies of religion with the latest from imran khan. what are the factor that made

this happen what else do you know? >> all i can tell you this has been brewing for two years, there has been a lot of sunni anger in anbar. they feel they were impact beat al qaeda in iraq but after that they were forgotten. things calmed down for a bit in anbar, but when i.s.i.l. made the moves, they took over the city of fallujah over a year ago, and it was then that the tribes and the anbar fallujah council reached out to the government saying there were i.s.i.l. fighters within the ranks of ranks of our people and we need to get rid of them. will you help. that was the background. the sunnis feel the baghdad government ignored them. the catalyst, the reason they are doing it is the sunni tribes particularly the jam

aily tribe feels that the militias have been brought in. in the speech he refers to the iranians and the iranian backed shia militia. the tribal sheikh feels that it is a sectarian war, and leads his people to join with i.s.i.l. they feel they are being attacked by the shias. all of this is a problem for the government. they were hoping to get a lot of these sunni tribes on board. they had the previous government that did not talk to the sunnis. they reached out to them, but not enough. that's why we see the moves apt the moment. >> what is the implications trying to take map anbar. >> well listening if to the i.s.i.l. successes, you may think i.s.i.l. had a tremendous

success, that's not true. shia militias and security forces took a number of towns to be moved. they are getting ready to amount offensive on ramadi. where this is difficult is under fallujah. they have been under the occupation of i.s.i.l. for a year. those fighters inside the town j the tribal fighters joining them as well. that fight will be a lot tougher than the iraqis were initially expecting. it's either they have to take it a little bit at a time taking it a little at the time. it's more difficult for the iraqis to take anbar in the time frame they gave. they said it would be over quickly, it looks like it will last longer than the security forces first thought. >> imran khan live from baghdad. thank you. >> yemen's former president ali abdullah saleh is accused of double dealing with al qaeda and

the united states. ta former operative who became a government informant spoke exclusively to al jazeera saying ali abdullah saleh supported and directed al qaeda in the arab peninsula, despite the united states being a supporter of his. >> reporter: this car bomb attack in a yemeni province killed eight spanish tourists. al-qaeda claimed responsibility. this man says there's more to the story. and it may involve the former yemeni president ali abdullah saleh. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: he was a member of al qaeda until his arrest by pakistani intelligence and the c.i.a. in 2004.

returned to yemen, gaoled until 2006, he was released, he was released and began work as a paid informant for the yemeni government. he claims he warned security agencies a week before the attack, and provided details on the day itself. just over a year later, a daring assault on the embassy left 19 dead. he again says he warned the security services. three months before, a week before, and three days before. >> reporter: his handler was ali abdullah saleh's nephew, the colonel. he said he did not just ignore

the attacks, he went so far as to hand over money for the explosives used in the u.s. embassy attack. and give money to al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. about al jazeera verified his background within al qaeda, and we established that he was a bomb-maker. that's how he gained detailed knowledge about the attacks. he lost his right thumb handling explosives. we showed his testimony to two retired intelligence experts. they are experts on al qaeda. >> my interpretation is again,

that this is a guy who in substantial measure is who he says he is, he knows these people. he has insights into how they operate. >> if you look at the history of al qaeda, few people came out with details of what is going on at the top. someone reporting what was going on in months, years, even if it's a few years back, is an extraordinary valuable. >> if i had to give them a ballpark grade, i would say probably like 70-30, 70 being genuine. >> spain and the u.s. investigated the attacks, and closed their cases. the colonel could not be reached for comment. they said that they are willing to testify in front of an international panel in order to bring justice. you can see the full that report there, joining me here now on set, remarkable

reporting, a lot of implications for the u.s. and spain. how might this play out. what is the next step? >> the united states - viewers know that it's a big political issue when it comes to attacks on diplomatic facilities one needs to look no further than the attacks on benghazi. that is still played out in the american media. here there is nothing less than a scandal of that magnitude. where a single member to which his nephew number two in the yemeni bureau, helping to arrange for explosives used in the attack that killed 19, still unresolved case closed. the yemeni government giving cooperation, and it might shed clues to the fbi on why it didn't indicate if there was betrayal and double security by yemeni security. >> talk about your informant. how did the meeting happen?

where is your informant now? >> well in that order, we agreed that at the conclusion of three days that we would say the interview took place in a non-g.c.c. country outside the arabian gulf. the inform and came to his lawyer following a december 55th 2013 attack. he sent an s.m.s. to this known rights activist lawyer and says "i will be a suicide attacker of a different time with my information." with that, the lawyer met with the ex-al qaeda operative turned informant, and talked about how could they reveal the complicity in the attacks happening over the country in the past couple of years, and this al qaeda informant witnessed transactions financial assistant given between the security forces and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. he couldn't turn to the government. they are a part of it. according to him, he was beaten

blindfolded on his way, so he didn't have a friend he could turn to he decided to turn to the media, and made his path down to zero for me. >> if people want to see and hear more about this here is how they can watch the documentary. al qaeda informant. that is a way to watch the documentary. it's online at al jazeera/al qaedainformant expended interview, more articles and information. be sure to do that two i.s.i.l. suicide bombers targeted an army base in a town north of ramadi. according to military sources, 19 soldiers died and 21 others were injured. 50 rebels in yemen attempted to storm the city. they have shelled the pro-government positions and

have been met with force with fierce resistance. >> this was a quite residential area. fighters lawyer to ramadi have come under heavy fire. >> houthi rebels along with forces loyal to ali abdullah saleh have been trying to push their way into the area. so far their advance has been repelled. >> fierce fighting has taken place between the resistance and the houthis, but we'll fight them until we die or achieve victory. >> taiz was the birth place of the uprising that ousted salah in 2011, and is seen as a gate way, and both sides are fighting hard to control it. >> we are here to respond. we will defeat the houthis and pro-ali abdullah saleh forces.

>> behind the front lines there are unarmed people suffering, and the humanitarian situation is worsening for a lack of fuel and food and water there has been more saudi-led coalition strikes in government buildings occupied by houthi fighters at an arm's depot, and we are targeted in the western city. several fighters loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh are reported killed. an explosion and fire at a petrol station killed 80 people. the fire spread to neighbouring buildings in the capital. many people were sheltering in the petrol station because of torrential rain and flooding. joining us now, frances, a journalist for ghana's local station on the phone with more from the scene of the explosion. what more... i think that sound is - yes,

that is the sound of us losing our connection there. we'll continue to update you throughout the day on that explosion at a petrol station in ghana. more ahead in the newshour, we report from nepal that aid for earthquake victims is distributed unfairly. and o.p.e.c. ministers get together to decide what too do about falling prices. and the french open can anyone stop serena williams claiming a 209th grand slam title -- 20th grand slam title. details coming up. >> now to the latest revelations from the f.i.f.a. scandal. former top executive chuck blazer admitted taking and arranging bribes for the 1998,

2010 world cups. details revealed by the department of justice, and a former f.i.f.a. vice president says he'll tell everything he i don't say and provide documents. jack warner has been indicted for corruption. >> let's get more from laurence

lee lee, who is in zurich, where f.i.f.a. has their headquarters. put this in perspective for us. he's an extraordinary figure jack warner. a lot of what he says comes out as loose language. he's given to hyperbole, and it's difficult to take what he says as part of - he knows people vetted close to this -- investigated close to this and he claimed three years ago he destroyed a lot of documents, which he now says are in the possession of one would assume his legal team. he has not said what the documents are. the point at the moment is his intent which seems to be to do an about turn from all the things he said which is that he did no run, and there was a cop spir si against him. and now he's suggesting he wants to bring the f.i.f.a. house down

with him. why did he say these things, perhaps because the interpol red notice and he's under threat of arrest if he leaves trinidad and maps because of what chuck blazer did, and he has done a deal maybe he wants the same, to try to work with the feds and the f.b.i. what you can see overall is a fbi strategy of chipping away at all the people away from sepp blatter, all the lieu tennants to go after him. we know the fbi is targetting sepp blatter, is gaping momentum and grad -- gaining moument um and the fbi and the states are building the case. how long that will take against sepp blatter, we don't know. sepp blatter is at work sting running f.i.f.a. >> what is the latest with the shadow, because of all this cast over the next two world cups? >> well, of course, all of these

things, the gradual dismantling of the people around blahheder is playing into the hands of countries that want the 2018 and 2022 bid to be re-run. in australia they are saying they are ready to host 2022 if it's taken off qatar. people in england who want the whole thing to be run, say about the michael garcia report into carr understandings, suppress -- corruption which was largely suppressed should be published in full. to all of this, and given the extent to which the knives were out, it's worth bearing in mind a key thing that chuck blazer said in the comments from him released overnight, that there was corruption involved not only in the 2010 world cup in south africa but the 1998 world cup in france, and for all the mud thrown at qatar at the moment the european countries are less

interested in talking about ajections of corruption inside europe. >> laurence lee, live from zurich thank you. >> now, the f.i.f.a. scandal spread to venezuela. prosecutors raided a local football federation headquarters in caracas. the former president was arrested in zurich last week, along with six other f.i.f.a. officials accused of bribery and corruption. four soldiers had been killed in an ambush. the soldiers were travelling in an unmarked car when the group opened fire on them. the attack happened and they have been prayed by separatist violence in 2004. before migrants arrived. they were immediately spirited through the vip entrance, those are considered vip refugees away from waiting media, and

taken off to an undisposed location where their -- undisclosed location where the assimilation begins. they'll have training course and health insurance, education and so on, all of these guarantees helping them to assimilate into life. i thought by now they'd assimilate happily into life in australia. the australian authorities have different ideas. back to last september. this is the first batch of refugee asylum people. the authorities in cambodia and australia, hoping that the first batch would have a smooth experience, and that many more would want to follow them. >> explosion at a fire in a petrol station killed 80 people. the fire spread to native buildings, and happened in

accra. many were sheltering in the petrol station because of rain and flooding. again, let's join francis, a journalist, for the local station. he is on the line from the scene of this explosion. what else can you tell us hours after this has happened. and if the situation continues to develop. what can you tell us? > well we do know that the rescue mission is continuing. they are continuing to pull out more bodies from the building. the incident happened 10:00p.m. last night. because of a downpour we know that the petrol station has been burnt to the ground and five more buildings. i met a mother who lost a #-year-old baby -- 2-year-old

baby as a result of incident. she had an incident whether to leave the baby to burn or... (inaudible)..the president has been at the scene of the accident and ensured that traffic measures would be implicated, and they would see more of such accidents happening at a time of down purees. there has been two days of rains. it could get worse in the days to come. francis joining us on the phone for more on the horrific situation? ghana, a fire at a petrol station killing at least 80 people. thank you for the update european countries tackle

the flow of migrants the navy continues to rescue people crossing the mediterranean on leaky boats. we witness an operation first hand. it took 16 hours to reach this part of the sea. it was around 14 meals on patrol with the italian patrol. the crew has no doubt they are helpless migrants it's a matter of finding them. the camera combs the water, and here they are. the commander says there are two boats in the air. as we approach the closest one the rubber dingy is crowded. 120 people are packed in a small stays.

they've been in the sea for eight hours. >> they are saying they left at 6 in the morning, and this skipper abandoned them. the reason we came on the dingy is because the water is rough. so they rather escort the dingy to the main vessel. and then it capsized. it's a delicate matter pushing the zodiac towards the ship. migrants are tired. some are dehydrated. the crew has to happen quickly.

they are safe but they need to sit and stay calm. the first one off is the only child on board. >> at times it's a struggle for the rescuers. >> the last one was this erit trayan man. he had a -- eritrean man. he has a broken leg, and laying on the back of the dippingy. it's plywood recollects soaked and the water is seeping in. eight nautical miles north-east the second rubber dinky, desperately trying to send a distress signal. they have little fuel, but it would have never been enough to reach the closest coach. the engine broke down. they were floating aimlessly.

there are many women here, some are pregnant. they've been in the water for around 20 hours. everyone is exhausted and frightened. their less are numb, some need to be helped others limp. in little over an hour 234 people were safe. the crew is tired, proud that they saved lives. the people here are hungry but can't eat yet. the key is getting rougher and they could get sick if they have food. in the meantime they fall into a deep sleep, the first rest without fear in a long time now to the weather with richard. seems to be a lot of bad weather, particularly across eastern asia\. >> yes, looking nasty at the moment.

obviously into june and summer up in north western parts of china, we have snow. it's nasty conditions from those dealing with them. although the tourists aren't they, there in t-shirts and shorts and such like. well, that particular weather system is this one here which pushed on through. it's a fairly active one pushing in across the far east of china, meanwhile we have had an active weather system pushing through japan. it is quite exposed in the wind direction. the area of cloud is pushing into southern parts of japan. further north, rain across but weather conditions not too bad, as we come into the weather front, a bit of cloud, significant rain fall. further towards the north-west that similar rain fall caused a lot of problems and is a

pattern repeated across japanese areas. more rain is affecting fuju if anything moving to the south. there could be flooding rain across the region. still to come in the newshour. left in limbo, we visit a baghdad camp sheltering iraqis who fled fighting. >> turkey's ruling party want more than a win in sunday's election, it wants a mandate for constitutional change. >> in sport, the stanley cup time gets under way but a shock for the tampa bay lightening against chicago in game 1. 1.

welcome back let's look at the top stories here on al jazeera. several sunni tribes shakesand sheikhs pledged support to islamic state of iraq and levant. heading support to abu bakr al-baghdadi. the head of i.s.i.l. allegationses made to al jazeera suggest that yemen's former president ali abdullah saleh supported and directed al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, a former prautive who became a government informant spoke to our investigative unit. >> former f.i.f.a. executive chuck blazer admitted to taking bribes for the 2010 world cup,

and others did as well. jack warner is promising to reveal what he calls an avalanche of secrets. >> 3 million iraqis are in need of help pushed out of their homes by the war with i.s.i.l. the e.u. and u.n. is launching a plan to help them. it cannot come fast enough. imran khan has this report from a camp for internally displaced people near baghdad. >> this is a camp the humanitarian aid groups seem to have forgotten. or perhaps they didn't know it existed in the first place. it's one of many across baghdad that housed iraqis that escaped fighting in anbar. there's no help from the international community. the camp is run entirely from local charitable donations. for what little they have the people that live here are thankful. for the younger ones, war has left their mark. >> my children are quiet. they don't have the life in them

that they used to. they stay inside and play. i say "go outside" they never stay out for long it is too harsh and nothing for them to do. >> there are serious issues that need to be addressed. many of the children are suffering from stress-related psychological trauma. in other camps health professionals encourage them to draw pictures. here they are left to their own devices. a mosque has been turned into a makeshift school. it can only cope with a limited number of children, and the lack of funding means there's little that can be done beyond trying to keep the kids busy. >> if these children show signs of stress we see them break down and cry regularly. they have nightmares and are withdrawn. it's taken a few weeks to get them to play like this. >> the world health organisation warns it is facing a funding

shortfall to help iraqis funding has been tight. there wasn't any available to allocate to the camp. >> a funding shortfall may sound boring but it has an impact on the people that live here. if the international community runs out of money, places will be forgotten, and the desperate situation that he is people are in will get more straight. >> the united nations says half a billion is needed urgently to help more than 5 million displaced iraqis. the u.n. humanitarian accord nato join us. this is a loaded question. can you can you tell us what the pressing need is. there are more than 6 million iraqis in need of humanitarian assistance. the united nations agency don't

have enough money, which is why when your reporter gets to a settlement aid was not delivered. that's why we are in brussels launching an appeal for 500 million. we need the money to reach the needs of millions. who are you hoping will step up. is the international community respond are or listening? is it a year ago the king of saudi arabia gave a jornous donation. >> the problem it that the money ran out at the end of marn. up to 50% of the braigs faced cur failing is we are hoping the community steps forward with the people and the deposit, and gives generously. >> let's assume that that

happens, be opt stick. how do you distribute this across the country. >> the appeal that we are launching is highly prioritise the appeal. we are asking for the minimum of what they need. there is food sentence education, psychosocial. we hope that we can reach 8 million people. we are worried. in the summer of discontent. there could be as many as 2 million, now we can't provide them with the aid. that's why there's steps forward. >> you talk about the summer of disconcept into fall and winter. what are the long term

ramifications for people living in these continues. we know that there's a humanitarian confidence. when he went to the camp that's what he saw. there's thousands where people are eking out a living. the solution is political. until that happens, the consequences of - humanitarian consequences of what we are trying to address. >> thank you for joining us. the humanitarian coordinator, telling the international community to step it up. fighting appears to have calmed down at the eastern ukrainian city of donetsk. the government and pro-russian separatists blame each other for the escalation of violence. several have been killed and civilian buildings damaged in

donetsk. it was of the fiercest fighting since a fragile ceasefire put in place in february. >> a new parliament is elected on sunday and the ruling justice and development party is facing a challenging election. president recep tayyip erdogan is hoping the akp will win enough societies to press for change. we have this report from istanbul. >> the prime minister recep tayyip erdogan has been on the campaign trail, meeting voters across turkey in a run-up to what many consider significant elections. his party akp is predicted to win. the question is how much. publicly the target is for a big enough majority allowing them to change the constitution. many would be happy if they maintained a counter share of the vote. the past two years have been tough on the ak perform and they have hit a road bump.

there has been allegations of corruption. most directed at recep tayyip erdogan. a former prime minister who was elected last summer allowing them to take office. this is the first time in 10 years that they'll be contesting general elections without recep tayyip erdogan. the main man in this vote is the country's former prime minister and current pm. the parties hoping that they vote based on policies not parties. we caught up with him on the campaign bus to find out what the main changes he believes his party faces. there are many expectations. because of the success story, standards and expectations in turkey are higher than in 2002. and we are increasing the standards to another level when it came to power. >> people say the parties based

on personalities, not on quality. what do you say to the people. >> our party is part of ideas and targets. in that sense we have many skilful candidates skilful leaders of the party. >> it's not only recep tayyip erdogan absent from the for examples. 73 of the akp's experienced politicians will not be running. that allowed for new faces to emerge especially from youth and female ranks. 95 candidates are below the aim of 40 and 99 women are running for parliament. among them is a 30-year-old risen through the ranks. >> there are many more young and female candidates contesting in these elections, compared to the previous years. this energized our campaign. >> turkish society has created

icons. in a country that is more democratic now than a decade ago, it will be interesting to see if the elections will further the legacy of one man creating a legacy before another, and strengthen the democracy. the retrial of three al jazeera journalists has been adjourned again by a week. the case was first adjourned last monday after the prosecution finished closing argument claiming the journalists endangered egypt's national security. mohammed badr and mohamed fadel fahmy were present. australian journalist peter greste has not returned for the trial. they were arrested in december 2013, and originally sentenced between 7 and 10 years in prison. peter greste was released and deported on 1 february. two weeks later mohamed fadel fahmy and mohammed badr received the news that the judge ordered their release. the retrial began in march, and

dragged on for over three months with delays and adjournments. swiss company nestle's instant noodle brand maggie is facing a crackdown in india after allegations that samples contained high levels of lead. the government planned sales and legal action. several states are testing samples and big retail chains pulled it off the shelve. lead levels are within acceptable limits. >> we are waiting for the reports from all states to come, and we'll take a complete picture of the whole issue. and accordingly action will be taken. nothing will be left. appropriate action will be taken accordingly. >> it explained why he is so popular in india. >> the regular pacts of maggie

nestle's noodles are sold across europe. big and small. yellow pacts are found. generations have grown up on maggie noodles, and remember the advertising and the famous parties endorsing the products that nestle india described as a nutritious food alternative. in delhi, the government banned the sale of them temporarily, you can't find them at stores like this. it's unclear the wider fallout for nestle and the noodle brand will be. states are testing samples, and it will be from there that more information about be known as to the sources of this excess of led, where it's coming from and what this means for the company. this issue is raising questions about food and safety and regulations across india, it's an issue that will be debated for some time. >> there's concern in nepal that

distribution of aid is unfair. people that own their homes, they are getting help. renters are not. the parliamentary committee is directing the government to help reners. a lot of people lost documents making a claim difficult. in this town, brick by brick they are starting again. shattered homes are being cleared out. building materials collected. all thanks to community initiatives. here, the earthquake lays bear gaps in the system. this is unsafe. this couple had $20 in financial aid. they are worried about their tenants. >> translation: when i asked the municipality to provide tenants with relief, they said they have to go to their home villages. it's impossible to provide them with relief.

only home owners are entitled to help. >> reporter: two of the families that used to live in the house, home for now is this bit of ground. the two main earners are policemen, entitled to continuing pay. those who owned property damaged in the quake can claim the $150 aid to replace makeshift tents with shelters in time for the monsoon. >> there's more tenants in need than home owners. since the rooms are destroyed, where will we go. >> the government keen to prevent double claiming said tenants will only get money if they prove losses in their home districts. not where they happen to be homeless now. >> the government will provide to parties and make a save with local technology what will the tenant do with the money, seeing they have no land in that particular place x >> such problems are compounded

by what the quakes have done physically to the bureaucracy. the district office was almost obliterated. there was one bit of good fortune. entire shelves are intact in the one surviving part of the building. >> given how much has been destroyed. it was a huge stroke of luck. luck that the records were preserved. if you come around, if you come to the back of the building, there's another tarpaulin on top of a less organised pile of paperwork. piecing this together is a mammoth task, one that has to be repeated around the country. >> here, few are waiting for help. two families in this shelter say they'll be finished in day, and will be refocused on building businesses. starting back on where life was when the earthquake struck. chinese president xi jinping held a special meeting to discuss the yangtze river

shipping disaster. maritime agency records show that safety violations were found two years ago on a cruise ship that capsized monday. 400 people, elderly tourists are feared drowned. there is frustration among family members as more arrive at the scope still ahead on al jazeera, in sport. former f.i.f.a. vice president jack warner claims he has an avalanche of evidence against the organization as the ongoing corruption investigation takes a twist. we'll hear from him next. him next.

now, it's time for sport, and for that we'll turn it over to raul. >> thank you very much. as we have been hearing, one of f.i.f.a.'s former senior executives revealed corruption plagued the body since the 1990s. chuck blazer second in command at c.o.n.c.a.c.a.f. admitted that he and others took bribes in relation to the 2010 and 2022 world cup. a transcript of blazer's 2013 hearing - he pleaded guilty to 10 counts, including money laundering racketeering and tax evasion. revelations means votes for world cups and football tournaments over two decades have been tainted. it started in 1992, when france

was awarded hosting rights for the 1998 world cup. blaze are, the secretary-general at the time admitted he facilitated bribes with other people. blazer joined the executive committee, and that year marked the first of 5 gold cup tournaments from which he accepted kickbacks for broadcast rights. moving on to 2004 the americans admitted payments for south africa who avoided the 2010 world cups morocco offered a bribe, and in 2011 they led an investigation. in the same year, he was a cooperating witness in the f.b.i. they assisted them with the current investigation, pleading guilty to a series of charges, leaving the executive committee in the same year. >> blaze rer's former boss is

one of 14 indicted as part of the u.s. department of investigation. warner has been threatening to unleash an avalanche of secrets. in a televised address warner claims he feared for his life and promised to tell investigators everything he knew about alleged corruption. and completed the claims at a political rally in trinidad. >> i will give them my knowledge of transactions at f.i.f.a. including but not limited to sepp blatter. i have been here for 30 consecutive years. i was here with sepp blatter joining us is andrew warshaw from inside world football. there's a phrase saying "if i'm going down you are all going down with me", it's a mantra that jack warner seems to be following at the moment. >> it looks that way.

we don't know what information jack warner has got. he's turning it over to a third party. he says, or alleges that it could go as far as sepp blatter, generating widespread interest. >> i guess it's not surprising these allegations, they have been confirming around for many years. what is surprising is that it's coming out so publicly. >> yes, it's been a momentous week starting in the middle of last week at the infamous dawn raid at the hotel in sewerics and now we have these two former chiefs of c.o.n.c.a.c.a.f. the president, the former general secretary coming out with fresh allegations. this goes on and on. last time i spoke to you you were in zurich, he has resigned something has happened in the last few days to make him

resign. the fact that warner named blatter publicly. should he be worried, are we to expect more revelations from the u.s. investigations that could go to the top. jack warner tends to shout his mouth off. four years ago he predicted a footballing tsunami. we got one, but i don't think at that time jack warner thought that would happen. let's see what the revelations are. in terms of sepp blatter's resignation. it's one of two things either he could be implicated in either of these investigations going on one by the u.s. federal authorities, and one by the swiss. although i have to say at this statement, that he has not been in any way implicated. or he just got - if you like over whimmed by the afterlarge of core understanding, but hoe is there for the time being
