09:05 Sepp Blatter's sudden resignation from FIFA

The most powerful man in football has stepped down just four days after he was re-elected to the post for a fifth term, and six days after dawn raids at a hotel in Zurich when the FBI arrested several FIFA officials on charges of corruption, described as  "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted".

10:05 The Kiwi tech entrepreneur whose back breaking injury was instrumental in his success

Mark Major is a kiwi tech entrepreneur from Wellington whose back-breaking injury was instrumental in his first success, Plummet Free Fall. He can't code, and isn’t great at drawing. Instead he used his experiences of freefalling - losing his job, and falling down a construction shaft, as inspiration to create a slapstick mobile iphone game.

Plummet Free Fall, has now been downloaded more than 350,000 times and was number one on iTunes in four countries: New Zealand, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.

His latest project is, Plunge Free Dive, which he’s developing in tandem with the world record freediver, William Trubridge, to raise awareness of the plight of Maui’s dolphins.

11:05 Marty Duda's artist of the week: Florence + The Machine

London-born Florence Welch has become an artist to be reckoned with ever since the release of her debut album, 'Lungs', in 2009. Welch is a powerful vocalist who has captured the hearts and minds of millions of adoring fans with her dramatic, often bombastic, songs. After taking a year-long sabbatical, Florence + The Machine return with their third studio album, which Florence describes as “less grand and more vulnerable”. 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful' has just been released and Florence + The Machine have been frequent visitors to NZ. No doubt they will be back soon.

Tracks:
1. Dog Days Are Over – Florence + The Machine taken from 2009 album, 'Lungs' (Island)
2  Shake It Out – Florence + The Machine taken from 2011 album 'Ceremonials' (Island)
3. Try A Little Tenderness – Florence + The Machine taken from 2012 album 'MTV Unplugged' (Island)
