our correspondent daniel sandford is in sofia. what do we know about those who have been arrested? interior say they have identified 15 people that were involved in those nazi salutes and racist chance at the stadium on monday night. they say they have worked out who nine of the 15 are and have arrested six of them already who are in custody being questioned. they say they will not tolerate this kind of anti—social behaviour and they are taking action as a result of that. what is becoming less clear is exactly why it was that these men went to the stadium and performed these nazi salutes and insulted the black english players. it could have been a simple act of football hooliganism but there is speculation here that it might have been as slightly more organised act. one theory is that because gareth southgate spoke out so strongly ahead of the game about racism that perhaps they deliberately have been provocative as a result. i have to say that actually more people here think it was some kind of political act tied into local politics here in bulgaria, linked to local elections, and
