Sepp Blatter appears to want to stay on as FIFA president until February, despite now being the target of a criminal investigation for corruption by the Swiss authorities, who raised his office yesterday. But the pressure for him to step aside immediately is now greater than ever.

Yuchiro Nagjima was the executive director of Japan's world cup bid for the 2022 tournament. He says he can't see how Mr Blatter can stay in the job until February, when his replacement is due to be announced. Richard Conway is our sports news correspondent.

The last British resident being held in Gauntanamo Bay is being released. Shaker Aamer has been in American custody since 2001 when he was detained in Afghanistan. He's never faced a trial, nor has any charge been made against him. He says he was beaten and tortured. His case has been a subject of a campaign by some MPs, Human Rights group and, among newspapers, the Daily Mail which hails his release on its front page today as a victory for justice. There are sceptics however. Robin Simcox is of the neo-conservative think tank the Henry Jackson Society, based in London.

One of the organisations campaigning for Shaker Aamer's release has been Reprieve. Cori Crider is a director there and has acted as Shker Aamer's lawyer.

For years, Sepp Blatter kept criminal investigations at bay. But in May, seven senior officials at football's world governing body were arrested in Zurich. The Swiss authorities say that the FIFA president himself is now the subject of a criminal investigation. He denies any wrongdoing, and his lawyer says he is cooperating fully. But it's no longer enough for him to brush aside rumours and accusations of wrongdoing at FIFA. The fact that his most likely successor, Michel Platini, has also been questioned over a contract, 听is evidence that FIFA is no longer able to prevent investigation from outside, despite Mr Blatter's long record in doing so. We're joined by Jonathan Calvert, editor of the Insight team at the Sunday Times which has alleged corruption in the organisation. He's the author of The Ugly Game, about the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar. Gordon Taylor is chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association.

The Labour Party Conference starts this weekend and it鈥檚 maybe one of the most interesting for a generation. People are intrigued as to what Jeremy Corbyn will say in his big speech but equally important is how he will be received. He has a lot of support among the Labour newcomers who signed up during the campaign and he has little support among his own MPs. It is not so clear how the country as a whole is reacting to him.
