About this episode

The head of world football has scrapped his plan to allow private investment in the World Cup, after a backlash from football associations worldwide. Gianni Infantino said he was acting because the proposal was dividing the sport, but he's now facing calls to resign. Also in the programme: Our reporter in the West Bank speaks to an Israeli settler about the killings of Palestinians; the search continues for seven missing climbers after Pakistan avalanche; and folk dancing from the east of Colombia makes its way to London.(Photo: Fifa President Gianni Infantino.
