1:49:28 PM

Gill of England receives his nomination at the   Executive Committee from FIFA President Blatter at the 65th FIFA Congress in   ZurichEnglish Football Association vice-chairman David Gill confirmed on Saturday he will not take up his post on FIFA's executive committee following the re-election of Sepp Blatter as president of soccer's world governing body. The former Manchester United chief executive was only elected two months ago for a four-year term but the 57-year-old did not attend Saturday's first executive committee meeting following Blatter's re-election to a fifth term. Blatter beat Prince Ali bin Al Hussein of Jordan in Friday's presidential election overshadowed by allegations of rampant corruption within FIFA.

FIFA President Blatter gestures after he was   re-elected at the 65th FIFA Congress in ZurichBy Brian Homewood ZURICH (Reuters) - FIFA President Sepp Blatter came out fighting on Saturday as he began his fifth term in charge of soccer's governing body, implying that the United States timed the announcement of a major corruption probe to try to scupper his re-election bid. The 79-year-old Swiss comfortably won Friday's vote at a FIFA congress in Zurich, having secured the support of blocks of votes from Asia and Africa, which outweighed dissenters including Europe's powerful soccer body UEFA. "No one is going to take it off me that it was a simple coincidence (that) this American attack (happened) two days before the elections of FIFA," Blatter told the RTS channel.

12:45:56 PM
The Russian bureau of Interpol has sent a request to the British police to block the auction of a painting by a famous Russian artist because it was "stolen", Russia's Interior Ministry said in a statement on Saturday. The ministry said that the painting in question, "Evening in Cairo" by Ivan Aivazovsky, "was stolen in 1997 from a private collection in the city of Moscow". "That a painting of this scale and quality has not been on public view for over seventy years is remarkable and presents an exceptional opportunity for collectors of Aivazovsky's major works," the Sotheby's catalogue note said.

Myo Win, the township administrator of Hainggyi Island, in the country's south, told Reuters the boat was taken to nearby Leik Island and the migrants were kept on board while they were provided with food, water and medical help.

Russia dismisses accusations from Ukraine, NATO and Western powers that it is supporting the separatists with arms and its own troops.

Rollback of U.S. spy powers would mark post-9/11 watershed
11:12:50 AM

The word 'password' is pictured on a   computer screen in this picture illustration taken in BerlinBy Warren Strobel and Mark Hosenball WASHINGTON (Reuters) - At 3:59 p.m. EDT on Sunday, the National Security Agency and telecommunications companies will begin mothballing a once-secret system that collected Americans' bulk telephone records, shutting down computers and sealing off warehouses of digital data. If the U.S. Congress fails to act, key provisions of the USA Patriot Act will lapse in a watershed moment in the post-Sept. 11, 2001, era. Intrusive government powers, created and wielded in the name of preventing another mass-casualty terrorist attack, would be at least partly scaled back, proponents and critics of the surveillance say.




U.S. to bring Japan under its cyber defense umbrella
11:04:30 AM

Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani, Japanese FM   Fumio Kishida, US Secretary of State John Kerry and US Secretary of Defense Ash   Carter shake hands following a news conference in New YorkBy Tim Kelly TOKYO (Reuters) - The United States will extend its cyber defense umbrella over Japan, helping its Asian ally cope with the growing threat of online attacks against military bases and infrastructure such as power grids, the two nations said in a joint statement on Saturday. "We note a growing level of sophistication among malicious cyber actors, including non-state and state-sponsored actors," they said in a statement released by the U.S.-Japan Cyber Defense Policy Working Group, which was established in 2013. Cybersecurity is a key area where Japan and the United States are deepening their military partnership under a set of new security guidelines released in April, that will also integrate their ballistic missile defense systems and give Tokyo a bigger security role in Asia as China's military power grows.  Both the United States and Japan are wary of cyber threats, including potential attacks from China or North Korea.
