Football's governing body FIFA has released documents saying its former president Joao Havelange and his former son-in-law Ricardo Teixeira received illegal payment. The document showed between 1992 and 2000, the two men took more than 22 millions Swiss francs. Now more than 22 million dollars in payment from FIFA's former marketing partner. Imogen Foulkes reports form Geneva.
FIFA was forced into publishing this document after months of resistance . It confirmed what was widely expected. Former FIFA officials did indeed accept millions of dollars in payment from FIFA's former marketing partner ISL. The publication comes in the midst of the campaign by FIFA to tackle corruption after widespread allegations that the football's governing body has acted improperly for a many years.
The Syrian ambassador to Iraq, Nawaf Fares is reported to have defected. If confirmed, he will be the first senior Syrian diplomat to abandon the government of president Bashar al-Assad. Mr. Fares who was appointed ambassador to Baghdad in 2008 and was the first Syria envoy to Iraq for nearly three decades. He is a Baath Party loyalist and former governor of several provinces. Jim Muir reports from Beirut.
Assuming Mr. Fares' defection is confirmed, it will be a clear sign of the stresses generated by the continuing and intensifying violence. Opposition sources say they believe that more ambassadors were planning to follow suit . But it is clearly good news for the opposition whose hopes of persuading the Russians to take a tougher line of the Assad regime have drawn blank. After talks in Moscow, Abdulbaset Sayda, the leader of the main opposition umbrella group-the Syrian National Council, was especially critical of Russia's position, saying it was allowing the violence to continue.
Rebels in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo have threatened to march on the town of Goma if the Congolese government fails to protect the population. Rebels of the M23 said Rwandans living in Goma, the members of the Tutsi ethnic group had been harassed . Here is Mark Doyle.
The threat to possibly take Goma came during a press conference held by leaders of the rebel group which has military positions just north of the city. A Congolese bishop, Jean-Marie Runiga, presented himself at the press conference as one of the rebel leaders. He said members of particular ethnic groups including ethnic Tutsis were being beaten and killed by government's supporters in Goma because of their perceived links to the rebels. It's not clear whether the threat to attack Goma will be followed a coup.
The BBC has learned that the British army is putting an extra 3,500 soldiers on standby to provide security for the Olympic Games due to start in just over two weeks.

Sudan has opened one of Africa and Middle East's largest sugar plants built despite economic sanctions imposed by the United States. The project costing 800 million dollars was launched by the president Omar al-Barshir. James Copnall has the details.
Initial production is expected to be 25,000 tones a year with the goal of eventually doubling this. The launch comes in this difficult economic time for Sudan. It lost three quarters of its daily oil production when South Sudan seceded a year a ago. This large scale agro-industry project is one of the Sudanese government responses. President Barshir was coming under pressure with demonstrations almost everyday over the high prices and his 23 years in power.
A Brazilian senator Demostenes Torres has been expelled from the Senate over alleged links with a gambling ring. Mr. Torres, who is independent, he is only the second senator to be removed from his post in the Brazilian Senate's 188-year history. Police say Mr. Torres helped a detained gambling magnate obtain favors for his companies in exchange for large payoffs. Mr. Torres has denied any wrongdoing.

官方组织Fifa公布文件称前主席足球乔·阿维兰热及其前女婿里卡多?特谢拉非法收款。文件显示1992到2000年期间，这两人获得超过2200万瑞士法郎。现在有超过2200万美元的资金是Fifa的市场伙伴支付的。Imogen Foulkes在日内瓦报道。

经过几个月的不情愿，Fifa最终被迫公开这些文件，现已承认广泛认为的事实。Fifa前官员确实从前市场伙伴ISL公司收取了数百万美元。此前据说该足球官方组织行为不端已多年，Fifa为此开始解决腐败问题，这些文件就是这个时候公布的。

据悉叙利亚驻伊拉克大使法里斯现已变节。如果此事属实，他就是背弃阿萨德政府的第一位叙利亚高级外交官。法里斯2008年被任命为驻巴格达大使，是近30年来首位驻伊拉克的叙利亚使节。他是复兴党效忠者，曾是几个省的州长。Jim Muir在贝鲁特报道。

如果法里斯变节一事属实，这显然表明持续且加剧的暴力产生的压力很大。反对派称他们相信会有更多大使效仿 法里斯。反对派希望能劝说俄罗斯对阿萨德政权采取更强硬路线，而这个愿望却泡了汤，所以大使变节一事这对反对派来说绝对是好消息。莫斯科会谈后，主要反对派叙利亚全国委员会领导人Abdulbaset Sayda严厉批评俄罗斯的立场，称这样会使暴力继续进行。

刚果民主共和国东部的叛军威胁说，如果刚果政府未能保护民众，就要挺进Goma镇。叛军“M23”称居住在Goma的卢旺达人和Tutsi少数族裔受到了骚扰。Mark Doyle报道。
The threat to possibly take Goma came during a press conference held by leaders of the rebel group which has military positions just north of the city.

这个叛军组织在Goma北部就有军事驻地，其领导人在新闻发布会期间威胁说可能要夺取Goma。刚果主教Jean-Marie Runiga在新闻发布会上自称是叛军领导人，他说包括少数族裔Tutsis在内的某些特定的族裔组织在Goma遭到政府支持者的殴打和杀害，原因是政府认为他们与叛军有关联。尚不清楚威胁袭击Goma会不会导致政变。

早期产量预计为每年2.5吨，最终目标是翻倍。此时苏丹正处于经济困难时期，南苏丹一年前脱离出来时，苏 丹损失了四分之三的石油产量。苏丹政府采取应对措施，这个大型农用工业项目就是其中之一。总统巴沙尔压力很大，因为几乎每天都有游行发生，原因是巴萨尔 23年执政期间的高物价。
