BBC World Service - BBC OS, How do you punish racism in football?

England player Danny Rose has said that he can't wait to leave football because of racism

England player Danny Rose has said that he can't wait to leave football because of racism.

After England and Tottenham player Danny Rose received racist abuse by fans at a match against Montenegro, he says the he 'can't wait to see the back of football'. Uefa has charged Montenegro with racist behaviour but Rose says that he does not expect a significant punishment. But what is the right way to stop racism by football fans? And what punishment should a football club face if their fans behave in this way? We discuss these questions and hear the thoughts of people around the world.

And a powerful General in Libya has ordered his troops to march on the capital Tripoli, where the UN-backed government are based. Our Middle East regional editor will bring us the latest.
