BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine: Helicopter crash in Kyiv suburb

Ukraine's interior minister was among the people who died in the crash

The Ukrainian police chief has been appointed acting interior minister following the death of the incumbent in a helicopter crash in the Kyiv suburbs. At least 14 people died in the crash. Our reporters explain what happened and how they reported on the incident.

Our correspondent in Cairo tells us how the economic crisis is putting the livelihoods of more than 100 million Egyptians at stake.

We look back at the life of Lucile Randon, the world’s oldest person who has died aged 118.  She has said she enjoyed a glass of wine every day. We hear audience messages about secrets to old age. 

As we continue to look at the life in Afghanistan under Taliban, we bring a conversation with three young sportswomen  - a cricketer, a footballer and a mountain climber – who all have had to leave Afghanistan to pursue their sporting careers.
