Former Fifa Official: We Took Bribes

Fifa crisis, China ship disaster, 92-year-old marathon runner

Former Fifa official Chuck Blazer says he and other executives accepted bribes. Mr Blazer revealed all during a hearing in a US court in 2013 but the transcript has only just been released - some 24 hours after the resignation of Fifa president Sepp Blatter, amid criminal investigations in America and Switzerland.

China's transport minister says rescuers are in a "race against time" to find survivors among the hundreds missing after a cruise ship capsized on the Yangtze River.

If you need a little inspiration, look to Harriette Thompson. The 92-year-old finished the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon - her 16th race.
