1. Fifa toon tekens van kommer:

VIENNA - Fifa President Sepp Blatter admits he has a Plan B organised
should South Africa be unable to host the 2010 World Cup - but it will
only be used if a disaster makes holding the tournament impossible
there.

Blatter gave a press conference before yesterday's Euro 2008 final
between Germany and Spain here at Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium and
said the tournament would only be taken away from South Africa in dire
circumstances.

"I would be quite negligent as president if I did not have a Plan B
tucked away at the back of a drawer," said Blatter.

"But only a natural disaster would make it active," he added pushing
aside doubts over security and possible delays over construction of
the stadiums.

Safety is a major concern for the tournament in South Africa where
there are dozens of murders every day. And a recent wave of violence
against foreigners there has done nothing to ease fears.

Fifa will give 150,000 free World Cup tickets to South African
football fans, with unemployment running at 40%.

But next year's Confederations Cup, from June 14-28 2009, will be a
big test for South Africa in the traditional warm-up before the World
Cup is held there a year later.

"If we had to activate the Plan B, we would do it after the
Confederations Cup," said Blatter.

He added the cup will be used by Fifa to test the idea of using six
officials at each game, including a referee assigned to each penalty
area to help control the game.

"It would be interesting on a psychological level, because the players
would know they are being observed in the penalty area," said Blatter.

"We will test this idea next year."

But Blatter batted off any suggestions of a video referee to give his
verdict on key situations in a game, or the idea of having a
micro-chip to confirm whether a goal had been scored, saying the ideas
had been "suspended".

Vandag se misdaad-statistiek:

car hijackings are up 4,4 percent (from 13 599 to 14 201 cases) and

The increases in these subcategories are of an "extreme concern",
police said.

robbery aggravating had declined 7,4 percent.

It was also noted that 66 percent of robbery aggravating consisted of
street or public robberies, while house robberies made up 12,2
