BBC World Service - BBC OS, Indonesia football stadium disaster

At least 125 people were killed in the crush at the Kanjuruhan stadium

We’ll reflect the conversation in Indonesia after one of the world’s worst ever football stadium disasters. At least 125 people were killed at the match at the Kanjuruhan stadium in Malang in East Java. We'll hear how the authorities are responding to criticism that the use of tear gas against fans who had entered the pitch led to the deadly crush. We'll hear the voice of one survivor.

We’ll hear how Brazilian voters are feeling after the first round of their presidential election, with current president Jair Bolsonaro and former president Lula da Silva now due to face each other in a run-off vote later this month.

A UN committee has called for Ukraine to release thousands of disabled people from institutions. Testimony gathered by BBC journalists was part of the evidence considered by the UN, so we’ll speak to one of the team behind the reporting.
