BBC World Service - BBC OS, Noble Peace Prize winners

Activists from Belarus, Ukraine and Russia have won the Nobel Peace Prize

Activists from Belarus, Ukraine and Russia have won the Nobel Peace Prize.

A jailed Belarus activist and two groups from Ukraine and Russia have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for championing human rights and democracy. It's been awarded to the jailed Belarusian activist, Ales Bialiatski; the banned Russian rights group, Memorial; and the Ukrainian Centre for Civil Liberties. We'll hear from our Eastern Europe Correspondent and reaction from the Executive Director of Ukraine's Center for Civil Liberties, one of the winners.

The king of Thailand has visited survivors of a knife and gun attack in which thirty-six people were killed on Thursday. Most of the dead were young children attending a school nursery. We'll get the latest updates on the story.

We return to Iran to continue our coverage of the protests, sparked by the death of a young woman in police custody. We'll talk through the story of Sarina Esmaeilzadeh - another 16 year old who has died - with our correspondent from BBC Persian. The Iranian authorities deny reports that she died after being severely beaten on the head with batons by security.

As we continue covering the deadly stadium crush which happened recently in Indonesia, we'll hear from two people who themselves witnessed or survived a similar crush at a football stadium for their experiences and thoughts on the tragedy.
