BBC World Service - BBC OS, Somalia: Famine nears

Somalia is struggling amid its the worst drought in 40 years

Young children are dying in growing numbers in Somalia amid the worst drought to hit the country in 40 years

We’ll speak to our correspondent Andrew Harding reporting from Somalia, where aid agencies say hundreds of thousands of people face starvation unless more help arrives.

We’ll put into context the latest advances by Ukrainian troops, with their leaders saying they’ve retaken more territory from Russian forces in both the south and east of the country. Our correspondent will tell us more.

As Indonesia’s president visits the site of the Kanjuruhan stadium disaster, we’ll hear a conversation between two Indonesian football broadcasters about what happened and how events have impacted the spirit of the sport in the country.
