BBC World Service - BBC OS, Match-fixing allegations in Spain

Police in Spain have made a number of arrests for alleged match-fixing.

Reports from Spain say several current and former players from football clubs in the country's top division and second division have been arrested on suspicion of match-fixing. We get more details from a Madrid-based journalist on the allegations and on how match-fixing in football works.

And we’ve spoken to an 11-year-old Alexander Weiden and his father about the shooting at Stem School Highlands Ranch in suburban Denver earlier this month. One student was killed and eight others were injured. Alexander had to hide in a closet with other children during the incident. He and his father talk about how they’ve coped in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

And British Muslim woman who says she was a victim of Islamophobia and decided to report the people, who threw eggs on her car.
