BBC World Service - Weekend, Brazil goes to the polls

Brazil votes in first round of crucial presidential polls

Brazil votes in first round of crucial presidential polls.

Brazilians head to the polls in what has been described as the most important presidential election since the South American nation's return to democracy in the 1980s.

Also, over a hundred people die at a football match in Indonesia.

Plus, a rare insight into life in Luhansk, one of the four regions annexed by Russia last week. 

And we will also hear from the country-rocker Shania Twain on her new album and lessons in starting from the bottom.

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.
