BBC World Service - Weekend, 127 deaths in Indonesia stadium stampede

Scores dead and several injured in football disaster in Indonesia

Scores dead and several injured in football disaster in Indonesia.

Authorities in Indonesia say at least 127 people have died and several others injured after a riot at a football match.

Also, the Ukrainian flag flies once again in a key town in the Donetsk region days after Moscow claimed the territory would be Russian forever.

And Brazil goes to the polls in presidential elections billed as the most consequential since the country's return to democracy in the 1980s.

Joining Audrey Brown to discuss these and other issues are Isabel Hilton, founder of  China Dialogue - a digest that looks at the environment and politics in China; and Sadakat Kadri, a human rights lawyer and journalist.
