BBC World Service - BBC OS, South Africa: Tavern deaths mystery

Forensic investigators are still trying to establish the cause of death

Forensic investigators are still trying to establish the cause of death.

The South African authorities say the owner of a bar in Eastern Cape where at least twenty-one teenagers died at the weekend will face criminal charges. The  victims had no visible injuries and police say it is possible that they suffered poisoning. Our correspondent explains what is known about the incident.

We hear about a BBC investigation that has found evidence of occupying Russian forces stealing thousands of tonnes of the grain. 

We hear reaction from Nigeria where a state governor has called residents to take up arms against bandits. 

We speak to a worker in a Utah abortion clinic. The clinic may have to close, after the US Supreme Court overturned its 50-year old Roe v Wade decision.
