The National Crime Agency has now referred itself to the police

This is how he wanted others to see him, a devout

But in court, he admitted raping children and babies.

A woman shouted, "A thousand deaths are too good for you".

The authorities in Ukraine say a man they arrested with a vanload

of weapons and explosives was planning to carry out attacks

during the Euro 2016 football tournament.

Officials say the Frenchman, who was detained on Ukraine's border

with Poland, was motivated by far-right views.

Our Kiev correspondent, Tom Burridge has the details.

A French man, caught on camera in a sting operation

Officials claim he was planning several terror attacks

to coincide with the Euro 2016 football championships.

Here, he is filmed stashing a box of grenades into a van.

The man was apparently under surveillance for several months.

He is seen using blankets to wrap up Kalashnikov machine guns and then

Ukraine's Security Service said it seized details of 15 possible

targets, including a synagogue, a mosque and a French tax office.

When he tries to cross the border from Ukraine into Poland,

and into the European Union, Ukrainian officers are waiting.

He's arrested with an arsenal of weapons in the van.

blocks of explosives - 125 kilograms of them.

For weeks now, much of the EU referendum debate has

focused on the economy, with Remain campaigners

How do you do? Good morning.

No one can say that we're not running the cleaner campaign,

dragged into paying for the failures of the Eurozone, when you know very

well the Prime Minister has done a series of deals to keep us out

The idea that the opt-out is somehow going to protect us,

to insulate ourselves from such calls on the British taxpayer.

As they crisscross the country, the Out campaign is not trying

could have real costs for the country, too.

It's believed several million people still haven't registered

to vote in the EU referendum, including many young

people, and some from black and minority ethnic communities.

The deadline to register is midnight tomorrow,

and with less than three weeks to go before the vote, the campaigns up

and down the country have been sharpening their message.

Our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt has been gauging opinion in Lincoln.

An employment tribunal has been told Chelsea's former team doctor turned

Eva Carneiro is claiming constructive dismissal.

She's also accusing the former manager, Jose Mourinho,

of sexual discrimination, saying she was forced out

Our sports correspondent Richard Conway has more.

It was last August, as Swansea took on Chelsea in the Premier League,

that Dr Eva Carneiro infuriated Jose Mourinho by running

onto the pitch to treat an injured player, leaving his team a man down.

Mourinho accused his medical team of being impulsive and failing

Today, it was revealed that Dr Carneiro has turned down

?1.2 million to settle the constructive dismissal,

victimisation and discrimination claims.

In court documents, her legal team accused Jose Mourinho

In response, Chelsea claimed Dr Carneiro had become

increasingly preoccupied with developing her profile

and associating herself with the first-team,

signing autographs and seeking to position herself

behind Jose Mourinho during televised matches.

I would like to nominate Branislav Ivanovic...

Nominating a prominent Chelsea player for a charity ice bucket

challenge was also cited by the club as a sign that Dr Carneiro

wanted to link herself with its star performers.

It may well be that, for her, this is a matter of principle.

What it means for Jose Mourinho is that, as early as next week,

he must come here and give evidence on behalf of himself

Much of that evidence will relate to a dispute over his words.

Dr Carneiro claims she was called, in Portuguese, "filha da puta",

Chelsea and Mourinho maintain he said "filho da puta",

meaning "son of a bitch", in a reference to what was happening
