Uefa to boycott World Cups if Fifa plans approved

from NewsHour · host BBC

All 55 European footballing nations have voted to boycott the men's and women's World Cup if Fifa goes ahead with plans to sell stakes in the tournaments to private investors. We speak to the vice president of Uefa, which governs European football. Also on the programme: a cross-party group of British MPs slams the Ministry of Defence for a data leak which could have imperilled thousands of Afghans; and who should take over as the next boss of the United Nations?
