Texas cop's lawyer says he did not target minorities

In the US state of Texas, the attorney for the former police officer seen on video throwing a black teen girl to the ground outside a pool says her client was not targeting minorities.

US to send 450 more troops to Iraq

The Obama administration has approved sending 450 additional troops to Iraq in a bid to assist local Sunni tribal forces and the Iraqi military fight the Islamic State.

2026 WORLD CUP BIDDING SUSPENDED

FIFA says it has suspended the bidding process for the 2026 World Cup.

The decision comes amid a corruption scandal engulfing international football's governing body.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter is to step down over the crisis - and it's reported a vote will be held in December to replace him.

Meanwhile FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke says plans for Russia to host the 2018 World Cup are on track - despite the process to award it to Russia and 2022's tournament to Qatar being investigated over corruption allegations.

Speaking in Russia, Mr Valcke has also denied any wrongdoing over a $10m payment to disgraced former FIFA official Jack Warner related to the South Africa World Cup in 2010.
