Sepp Blatter is conducting his first press conference since being re-elected as president of Fifa at the end of a week which saw 14 people arrested on suspicion of corruption within the organisation.
The 79-year-old Swiss man was elected on a majority of 133 to 73 over Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan – not enough to secure a first round majority, but Mr Hussein withdrew from the race before a second round of voting began.

In his acceptance speech immediately after the result was announced, Mr Blatter said: "Nobody's perfect. I like you. I like my job. I like to be with you. I take the responsibility to bring back Fifa."
