BBC World Service - BBC OS, Indonesia bans palm oil exports

Soaring prices have led to street protests because it's such an important product

Soaring palm oil prices have led to street protests because it's such an important product to Indonesians. We'll explain why the cost has gone up and whether the export ban will solve the problem. We'll also explain the consequences for food prices around the world.

We'll hear a conversation between mums of small children who have fled their homes in Ukraine as a result of the war. One remains in her own country, two others are now in different European nations. They share their experiences.

We'll explain the new law targeting kidnapping in Nigeria, which features tough penalties for kidnappers, but also people who decide to hand over ransom money to free their loved ones.
