Sepp Blatter Steps Down

Sepp Blatter resigns as president of Fifa four days after his re-elction, as corruption probe spreads.

The Fifa corruption scandal has taken its biggest casualty yet, as president of Fifa, Sepp Blatter, stands down as leader just four days after his re-election. We ask what this means for the future of Fifa, and for the investigation launched by the US Justice Department. Kara Scannell, investigations correspondent for the Financial Times in New York and James Montague journalist and author of Thirty One Nil and When Friday Comes, discuss.

It is an election weekend in Mexico - we ask what is at stake for the president and the ruling party and what explains the scale of voter apathy with a special report from our correspondent Katy Watson.

Also, the world's 50 leading business pioneers - but why are there only six women on the list? It is partly a problem of getting the capital to transform ideas into profits according to Financial Times columnist Heather McGregor, also known as Mrs Moneypenny.

We are joined by guests Mitchell Hartman of Marketplace and Anna Jean Hughes, founder and editorial director of thepigeonhole.com.
