Abuse against football referees

We talk to referees on verbal attacks they face during and after games.

The European football authorities, UEFA, say they have charged Jose Mourinho, the manager of the Italian club Roma, with using abusive language against the referee of the Europa League final. He was seen confronting the match official, Anthony Taylor, in the stadium car park in Budapest after Wednesday's match which Roma lost on penalties to the Spanish team, Sevilla. Crowds of angry Roma fans were later filmed harassing Mr Taylor and his family at Budapest airport. We speak to our sports news reporter, and we bring together two football referees to talk about the abuse they have experienced.

Some TikTok accounts are posting artificial intelligence-generated clips of murder victims, mostly children, telling the stories of their own murders. We speak to reporter who has been looking at these videos.

We speak to a Danish traveller and adventurer who has spent almost a decade visiting every country in the world without flying.

We continue to discuss assisted dying and today hear from two doctors who help people who are terminally ill and request medical assistance in dying.
