The governing body of world football, Fifa, has opened ethics
proceeding
s against its president Sepp Blatter at the
instigation
of his rival for the Fifa leadership Mohamed Bin Hammam. Both will answer questions about alleged bribery at Fifa's ethics committee on Sunday. Here's Alex Capstick.
Mohamed Bin Hammam, who is challenging Sepp Blatter for the Fifa presidency, has accused the incumbent of failing to report allegations of bribery. So both candidates for the top job in world football,
along with
the Fifa vice president Jack Warner, will be forced to defend their probity at a hearing on Sunday. Mohamed Bin Hammam and Jack Warner will be questioned over bribery charges, which relate to a meeting of Caribbean union officials earlier this month. Up to 25 delegates who will vote in the election were allegedly offered money for their support. Mr Bin Hammam denied the charges and said it was a
smear
campaign launched by those backing Sepp Blatter.
A Serbian judge has ruled that the former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic is fit enough to be transferred to the war crimes tribunal at The Hague. The general's lawyer said he would appeal against the decision on Monday on the grounds of his client's poor health. Meanwhile, the Serbian President Boris Tadic has announced that Ratko Mladic will be extradited despite his family's appeal. Mark Lowen reports from Belgrade.
