BBC World Service - BBC OS, How to win a Spelling Bee contest

Fourteen-year old Dev Shah has won this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee in the US

Fourteen-year old Dev Shah has won this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee in the US.

Dev Shah spelled "psammophile" correctly to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee title. We hear from the 2017 champion and a former finalist about how you prepare for spelling competitions.

We return to Senegal to get the latest on the unrest that has followed the sentencing of the opposition leader Ousmane Sonko.

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

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. We speak to our sports news reporter and hear from a referee.
