Masked men raid Russian rights group

FIFA latest; Clashes in eastern Ukraine; Probe launched after NGO attacked.

The offices of The Committee Against Torture -- one of the few human rights groups working in Russia's troubled Chechnya region -- was ransacked a week after it was featured in a high-profile documentary criticising alleged abuses of power.

One of the main figures charged by the US Justice Department over the FIFA corruption scandal - the organisation's former Vice-President, Jack Warner - says he'll tell investigators all he knows.

Fierce fighting between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine threatens fragile truce.
