Football's world governing body Fifa has agreed new anti-corruption reforms after independent experts issued a scathing assessment of its investigations into earlier scandals. They called Fifa's handling of bribery claims "unsatisfactory" and "unconvincing".

The Brazilian police have detained 77 people and confiscated an arsenal of weapons in a major operation against drugs traffickers. More than 600 police were involved in the operation. Here's Warren Bull.
Police in Brazil say this is the largest operation they've ever launched in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. In a series of raids in the city of Sao Borja, they seized weapons, money, vehicles and quantities of cocaine and marijuana. The police chief heading the operation said up to 13 different drug gangs had been identified in the city, including one with 40 members. Sao Borja is on the main transit route for drugs and contraband between Brazil and the neighbouring countries - Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
