Calls are growing for major reforms in the world football body, FIFA, after its head Sepp Blatter announced he was stepping down. The chairman of Australia's Football Federation, Frank Lowy, said his departure should open the door to major changes of FIFA. Reports from the US media say Mr Blatter is being investigated by the FBI as part of an inquiry into alleged corruption of FIFA. He denied any wrongdoing. Richard K reports.
自从国际足联主席塞普•布拉特宣布辞职以来,越来越多的声音要求对该机构进行重大改革。澳大利亚足联主席弗兰克•洛伊称布拉特的离开将给国际足联进行重大改革提供了机会。来自美国媒体的报道称布拉特将接受联邦调查的调查,这是对国际足联进行腐败调查的一部分。布拉特否认有过错,理查德报道。
"The US Department of Justice, the US Attorney General made it clear that this was only the beginning of their investigations into FIFA. What we'll see, I think that perhaps in the days to come and the weeks to come, is how closely Sepp Blatter is implicated in this. But he seems confident that he can carry on at least until the end of this year or into early 2016, and have an orderly transition of power. That's what he wants to do now. He wants to try and salvage whatever is left of his reputation and try to leave FIFA, in his words, having been radically reformed.
“美国司法部和司法部长明确表示,这只是对国际足联进行调查的开始。我想未来几天和几周我们将看到塞普•布拉特与此案关系越发密切,但他似乎相信自己能坚持到年底或2016年年初并进行有序的权力交接,这是他现在希望做的。他希望努力拯救自己所剩无几的声誉并努力离开国际足联,用他的话来说,就是对国际足联进行彻底改革。”

"Right now I am at the control room at about 80 metres under my feet is the LHC beam pipe. And there are bunches of protons that have been accelerated up to 6.5 TeV energy, and they are squeezing this beam down at the moment. And we are about to get collisions pretty soon, I think. The things are very, very exciting for you can cut the intension in here with the knief."

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Canada has described as "cultural genocide" of a former policy requiring aboriginal children to attend residential Christian schools. The chair of the Commission, Justice Murray Sinclair, spoke while delivering the final reports.

"In the period from Confederation until the decision to close residential schools was taken in this country in 1969, Canada clearly participated in a period of cultural genocide. We heard of the facts of over 100 years of mistreatment, of more than 150,000 first nations Inuit and Metis children placed in these schools. Removed from their families and home communities, seven generations of aboriginal children were denied their identity.
