BBC World Service - Business Daily, Fifa's New President

Fifa votes; Finland's immigrants; what's in an Oscar goodie-bag?

Fifa chooses a successor to Sepp Blatter: does it matter who wins? We hear how Finland is dealing with a migrant influx, and we discover the contents of an Oscar goodie-bag.

It's election day at football's world governing body, Fifa. Five candidates are hoping for the top job in world football. On Business Daily we hear from a World Cup footballer and a former head of the English football federation on whether the successor to Sepp Blatter can deliver. Also in the programme, we report on the reaction to the migrant influx from one small European country - Finland. Until last year it had had to deal with relatively few asylum seekers, now that's changed. Can it cope and can the new arrivals successfully assimilate?  Also, there's the result of another big vote on Sunday, it's for this year's Academy Awards. To mark that event, we find out all the products that promoters stick into an Oscar's goodie bag.
