Football finance in the spotlight

As football finance hits the headlines, we take a look at how money influences the game.

As the football world awaits a verdict on whether Manchester City will be kicked out of the Champions League over alleged financial cheating, we take a closer look at how money influences the beautiful game. Disgraced former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and a close adviser of ex-UEFA boss Michel Platini give us their view on Financial Fair Play rules, plus we hear from a Der Spiegel reporter on the receiving end of millions of secret football leaks. Also in the programme, a planned tie-up between Fiat Chrysler and Renault has fallen through, while Ford has announced the closure of an engine plant in the UK. We look at the wider implications for the car industry. Plus Denmark has elected its youngest ever prime minister. We find out what a return to the Social Democrats will mean for the country's business community.
