Frost Over the World - FIFA: 'Crisis, what crisis?'
- 12 years ago
The governing body of world football is mired in allegations of corruption. But with the now immortal words "Crisis, what is a crisis?" the president of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, secured the overwhelming support of delegates to continue in the job for another four years.
Nick Xenophon, an Australian senator, and David Davies, a former executive director of the English FA, join the show to discuss the state of FIFA. Plus, does the Arab Spring still have the momentum of full-scale revolution? As fighting continues to escalate in Yemen and Syria, with the embattled presidents struggling to hold on to their respective countries, Sami Alfaraj from the Kuwait Centre for Strategic Studies gives an overview of the situation in the region. And, Sir David Frost talks to Fred Karger, the US' first openly gay presidential candidate from a major political party, about why he is not a one-issue political lightweight.
