The suspended President of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, has revealed that it had been agreed thatRussia would host the next World Cup, even before the vote was taken. In an interview withthe Russian news agency, TASS, Mr. Blatter also said that the 2022 tournament was to go tothe United States. But after an intervention by France, Qatar won the vote. Ourcorrespondent, Arliss said the claims cast doubt on FIFA's voting process. There were 2World Cups chosen at the same time, 2018 and 2022. That was hugely controversial, with theallegations of corruption around this whole process. For months now, envious countries thatlost out, including England and the USA, has said something might have happened thatcorruption may have played a part in this whole process. So what we've heard today fromSumount Blatter would just add weight to those claims, and weight to those calls from somequarters that there should be a re-run of this contest.

The 14 Republicans vowing to win their party's nomination for the U.S. presidency are takingpart in the third nationally-televised debate. Our correspondent, Nick Brain, is at the venue inColorado. The backdrop for this debate is that national poll, which came out this week, whichsuggested, for the first time, that Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon, has moved to the topof the Republican field, dislodging Donald Trump. He's been there for months, of course. So weshould be expecting Trump to go on the offensive tonight. That seems odd; of course, hethinks he can insult his way seemingly all the way to the White House. And you'll expect thathe'll be trying to lay some heavy punches on Ben Carson tonight. We are expecting a rumble inthe Rockies. BBC News.
