BBC World Service - BBC OS, Protesters in conversation

BBC OS hears from demonstrators in Hong Kong, Sudan, Venezuela and Puerto Rico

The last few months have seen a number of protests around the world. Many people continue to demonstrate, in some cases risking their lives. We hear a conversation among those who have been out on the streets in Hong Kong, Sudan, Venezuela and Puerto Rico. They tell us what first led them to start protesting and what they hope for the future of their countries.

Also, the latest on the trial of Sudan's former president Omar al-Bashir who has appeared in court to face corruption charges, which his lawyers say are baseless. A detective told the court that Mr Bashir admitted to receiving millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia.

And popular Kenyan musician John Ng'ang'a, known by his stage name John De'Mathew, has been killed in a car crash. We speak to a music journalist and hear from his fans.
