you have to do with -- mark barton. ryan: you mentioned that the coronation of set bladder -- s epp blatter is on friday. they encouraged the delegates not to reelect blatter as he has been a staunch supporter of russia hosting the 2018 games. putin met blatter and said any politicians calling for russia to not host the world cup in 2018 should just a home instead of making these calls. the conversation about russia this far has been russia's role in ukraine and that is why pressure should not host the 2018 world cup and the other part is the sanctions that this would give russia and economic lifeline. there has been some criticism of russia on ethics grounds. it began when russia was selected. it has been pretty muted. it's unclear what this will mean for russia. you heard the point made that fifa would change course at this time. jonathan: this presidential election, and in many ways things have not changed. as the volume been turned up? mark: i remember back to 1998 and set latter one election and even then there wer
