A 40-page dossier has been released by the US Justice Department, in which the former FIFA official Chuck Blazer gives a detailed account of the corruption he says was at the heart of world football's governing body. He admits ten charges of racketeering, money laundering and count of tax evasion. More from Tom B in Washington.

"Chuck Blazer admitted to an astonishing abuse of his position over two decades. He admitted taking secret payments related to the awarding of the 2010 World Cup to South Africa and arranging bribes in connection with the 1998 World Cup. His guilty plea was part of a deal that saw him turn FBI informant, and the investigation may have some way to go yet. It is widely reported in the US the inquiry will now examine the awarding decisions to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in Russia and in Qatar."

More than 500 schools in South Korea have been closed as part of efforts to contain the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS. Three people have now died and over 30 others have been infected in the largest outbreak outside Saudi Arabia, where the disease was first detected. Steve E is in Seoul.

"The man who has just died caught MERS in hospital where he shared a room with a person who already had it. The number of those fear to have contracted it is rising steeply each day. Quarantine has been tightened after being too slack initially. One person supposed to be isolated went out to play golf, another flew to China. The South Korean authorities are struggling to prevent the outbreak turning into something much more serious, where MERS spreads quickly and widely. There is fear among ordinary people. Many now wear face masks in the streets and crowded places.

Thousands of people have marched in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires in protest to violence against women. The demonstration follows a series of murders that have shocked the country, including that of a kindergarten teacher, whose estranged husband slit her throat in front of her class.

The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras says that Greece and its creditors are now close to a deal, which would avoid the tough austerity measures of the past. From Brussels, here is Damian Grammaticas.

"It was after midnight in Brussels when the Greek prime minister emerged from his talks, smiling. Following weeks of fraught tense negotiations, Alexis Tsipras told awaiting journalists his talks with the EU countries at a bankrolled Greece had been constructive and friendly, and he believed an agreement was in sight. Greece needs to strike a deal to access new bailout funds or face going bankrupt and possibly exiting the Euro. Speaking for the creditors, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch Finance Minister, only said it was a good meeting, and talks would resume in a few days.

Cambodia has received the first group of asylum seekers from Australia under a controversial deal between the two countries. The four refugees have been helped by the International Organisation for Migration. They'd previously held in a detention centre on the Pacific island of Nauru. Human rights groups have accused Australia of shirking its international obligations.

The Dutch far-right politician, Geert Wilders, says he plans to use a party political television broadcast to show cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed after being denied permission to exhibit them inside the Dutch Parliament. Anna Holligan reports from the Hague.

"The controversial images will appear in a TV slot reserved for political parties. The broadcasting authorities have no say in what appears during this air time. Geert Wilders says he wants to share the cartoons to support those who use the pen, and not the swords. The broadcast is expected to take place sometime in the next few weeks. It's likely to antagonise the Netherlands' one million strong Muslim population."

The former British prime minister, Tony Blair, who's standing down as Middle East peace envoy this month, is to take on a new role, tackling anti-Semitism in Europe. He'll chair the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation. The organisation campaigns for tougher laws on extremism and wants holocaust denial to be made a criminal offence. Mr Blair will not be paid, but it's reported that his faith foundation will receive an annual donation.
