BBC World Service - BBC OS, Bulgaria bus crash

At least 46 people have died when a bus crashed and caught fire in western Bulgaria

At least 46 people, including 12 children, died when a bus returning from a trip to Turkey crashed in western Bulgaria. The bus rammed a crash barrier on a motorway south-west of the capital Sofia. We'll get more details from our reporter.

As part of the BBC’s coverage of 100 days since the Taliban in Afghanistan swept to power, we’ll be explaining what’s happened in the country since August. We’ll catch up with people who spoke to us in the aftermath of the takeover to hear what life has been like in the past three months. 

Our colleague Yalda Hakim joins us from Kabul to describe how the humanitarian crisis is interrupting basic services and affecting livelihoods in the country. We’ll also hear her interview with the Taliban spokesperson who was asked whether all women and girls will be allowed to freely work and study.

And we’ll again answer your questions and talk through the latest news on Covid-19 with one of our regular experts, Dr Isaac Bogoch in Canada.
