74 fans were killed following al-Masry's unexpected win over al-Ahly, Egypt's most famous and successful club.

What happened is now pretty clear. After the final whistle, al-Masry's fans invaded the pitch, seeking to attack al-Ahly's players; after that, they charged into the al-Ahly fans. Dozens of people were crushed to death, suffocated or fatally stabbed.

But why this happened - and who is to blame - is now the major talking point. As the BBC's Yolande Knell explains:

Did fans instigate the clashes themselves, was there a conspiracy to provoke, was there deliberate negligence by police? Or was the whole thing just a case of badly trained police mishandling football crowd violence.

These are now politically charged questions.

World Have Your Say will be on BBC World television at 1500 GMT discussing this question.

We'll be at a school in London, and joined live by pupils from schools across the world.

This came just a day after a massive protest against a bill designed to tackle online copyright theft.

The Sopa and Pipa bills triggered a Wikipedia blackout, supported by other sites like Google, Flickr and Facebook.

So why are some people so desperate to see Sopa succeed - and others so keen to stop it?

But, while correspondents make their best guesses about what the major stories will be in 2012, already know what one of the very biggest will be - the Olympics, being held here in London.

For two weeks in August, the world's attention will be almost exclusively focused on the UK capital as the world's biggest sporting event unfolds. Although of course many Londoners have reservations about the Games, nevertheless it's a hugely exciting time in Europe's largest city. (Personally speaking, I can hardly wait).

And with World Have Your Say planning on being an essential part of your experience of the Games, we thought it was only right to have a bit of a celebration of our own.

Which is why, if you're listening to World Service between 2300 and 0100 GMT on New Year's Eve, you'll hear something rather special.

We're going to be live on the roof of Bush House - the home of the World Service in central London since the 1930s - with some of the people who will be making the Olympics so special for London, and London so special for the Olympics.

Ros will be live with athletes, performers and protesters from across London to give us their guide and perspective on the city from eight stories up. We'll also be joined by John the Cabbie - who you may have heard on our shows about the London riots - and some of the Occupy London protesters.

We'll even have live music from some of the people who have written songs and scores for the Olympics themselves.

2012 is also the year that the BBC World Service will leave Bush House for our new home at Broadcasting House, just off Oxford Street, only a few weeks before the Olympics begin. So what better way to see out the year - and the building - than by joining us for our 2012 celebrations?

Some of you may remember the programme we did back in January from St Christophers Hospice in London.

In January spoke to patients and their families about what it was like to be dying of a life-limiting illness like cancer. life-limiting illness like cancer.

We had a really strong response from our listeners, so we've decided to go back and revisit St Christophers.

Unfortunately, not everyone who took part in January's programme can join us. Joan, who charmed everyone with her charisma and stoicism, died earlier this year. We have invited her husband Derrick to join us again.

Some of the voices will be familiar to you from the programme in January and others are joining us for the first time.

Among other things, we'll be discussing how people deal with bereavement and how it feels to be a carer for people with terminal illnesses. Our guests will be happy to answer any questions you have for them so please do get in touch.

In ancient Hindu Mythology, it's the Village of the Guru in the epic of Mahabharata.

In the modern epic that's the new India, Gurgaon is the city growing so fast, no one can keep pace.

From a farming village that was a speck on the map two decades ago, Gurgaon is also known as the "City of Malls." Nearly thirty gleaming shopping centres, (who can keep count?) along with soaring office towers, and gated residential communities, keep rising from the fields.

What does this booming city in the southern suburbs of New Delhi, tell us about India today? World Have Your Say is in Gurgaon today to find out.

We'll be hearing from Indians who moved to Gurgaon to live the high rise dream complete with swimming pools and golf courses.

But we'll also hear from residents and officials who complain about a city with no public transport, no city wide sewage system or garbage collection.

Gurgaon has not developed because of India's famously bureaucratic state. It's risen in spite of it. And the private sector has had to move in to fill the gaps - providing generators for electricity, wanter tankers, cars to ferry the workers.

Can a city become a shining civic star without reliable public services, urban planning and infrastructure? Can this Asian giant, poised to become the world's third largest economy in 15 years, surge forward like this?

And what about the social costs? Some Gurgaon farmers, who've sold their land, became millionaires overnight. They still hold on to their buffalo while holding fast to the wheel of their new Bentley.

This is India today. 1.2 billion people strong, the world's biggest democracy - moving ahead at breathtaking speed - held back by stubborn poverty, corruption, and inequality.

I've been coming to India for more than two decades but this is my first trip in a few years. I've been marvelling at New Delhi's sleek new airport, its swish Metro system, and the proliferation of well known global brands in everything from coffee to clothing.

But this is also still the India of old, with its tangle of rules and regulations.

Gurgaon is a microcosm of this nation's great wealth and weaknesses.

So, what's working and whats not? Take a trip with World Have Your Say to hear how one city is racing ahead, a magnet for investment and ingenuity.

Join us on World Have Your Say at 1800G/2230 India time.

Chloe here on Ben's login. An eight year old girl has been tricked into becoming a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. Authorities say insurgents gave the girl a package and told her to take it to a police vehicle, detonating it as she approached. She was the only person who died.

A statement by the ministry described the Uruzgan incident as a "crime and a shameful act".

Just last week a nine-year-old girl in Pakistan said she was abducted from her home in Peshawar, taken to an area near the Afghan border, and forced to wear an explosive vest. Sohana Jawed told a press conference there that she was put in a suicide vest and told to stand near some soldiers, but she threw the vest off and ran away.

Should we be negotiating with these people?

But this editorial says the conflict in Afghanistan can not be won through violence.

"There is widespread recognition among the lesser coalition partners that this latest Afghan war cannot be won on the battlefields."

While there is no evidence to show who sent this girl to be a suicide bomber, previous acts show extremist elements in the Taliban have used child bombers before - should we negotiate with these people?

A lot of you are talking about the news that major drug companies have agreed to significantly reduce their prices for vaccines in developing countries.

The price reduction is part of an effort to provide supplies for the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation.

Despite the assurance of price reduction, there is still funding a shortfall of $3.7 billion in for vaccinations all the way to 2015, and this latest decision is part of the effort to plug that gap.

Miscrosoft founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda, who are involved in public health through their Foundation, expressed their excitement: "We're particularly excited about the offers for rotavirus vaccine because the shock of learning that more than 500,000 children die each year from a preventable disease that causes severe diarrhea is what drew us to work in global health in the first place".

Some are sceptical though. @fauxstellata ‎tweeted: "#Glaxo have just cut the price of a diarrohea vaccine by 95% and not in an attempt to influence share prices. Finally nice capitalism?"

Dr Light argues: "The Gavi model depends on giving more and more money year after year to get vaccines to poor countries in ways that are not self-sustaining and at prices that are unaffordable."

Well, what do you think? We hope to have drug company executives, those affected or benefited by the price reduction and those who are questioning goodwill of this move.

The race had been scheduled to open the season, but was cancelled because of the unrest in the country. Now, with the state of emergency lifted, the circuit's chairman Zayed Rashid Alzayani says "We feel we are in position to have the event back."

Speaking before the meeting at which the decision was confirmed, Bernie Ecclestone, who runs F1, outlined the criteria for the race being reinstated, saying "This has to do with whether people... I don't know, to be honest, with this occasion whether people are concerned with their safety if they go or whether people are concerned with what has happened in the past."

But not everyone is happy about it.

The teams, who have been called upon to boycott the race by more than 300,000 people in an online petition, are believed to be against a return to Bahrain.

And before the decision was made Red Bull driver Mark Webber said on Twitter that "When people in a country are being hurt, the issues are bigger than sport."

Fans have reacted with some outrage too. Here's locomotivesuk:

Total shocker that F1's going back to Bahrain. They boycotted South Africa during Apartheid, they should do the same now.

What do you think? Is this the right decision? Should sport be kept separate from events like the Arab Spring?

It has spread to become a nationwide movement, as broad - in aims at least - as it was sudden. No-one expects the Spanish revolution.

When do they want it? Now. What do they want? Well, it depends you ask; that's the main reason World Have Your Say are here in Madrid's Sol Square, where the protests began to turn into a full camp that fills the entireity of the area.

What is here now is part market, part peace march, part Glastonbury-in-the-sun. As well as the tents and the peace zones, there is a library, a creche and a massage area. The Spanish middle class want a different future too.

But other people here say it is about more than that. Next to the photo is the biggest banner around; written in English, it says People Of Europe, Rise Up.

Many of the Spaniards here feel particularly frustrated because it is "their" party that has been in power as the unemployment rates increased. Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's Socialist party were swept in power not long after the Atocha train bombings here in Madrid in 2004 and have been in charge ever since.

Feeling let down by the leftist party but not wanting to vote for the right, a number of protesters have been expressing frustration with Spanish politics altogether.

"We blame all politicians - and especially the political system, a pseudo-democracy that long time ago distanced itself from the people - and banks for our precarious situation," says Laura, who has been travelling in to Sol Square every day since the protests began.

But despite the appearance of cardboard cutout amateurism and placard ideology, the protesters are not naive. They have official spokespeople - and you can only become one of those once you have received a course of media training.

There was one final twist I noted as I left the square tonight. Even at 10.30 pm, the place was heavily hot - and to cool down, some men are doing brisk business selling cans of soda and beer to the protesters.

The identity of these men? They are low-paid South American immigrants - the very ones some Spanish people blame the high unemployment on in the first place.

What do you think of the "Spanish revolution"? What is it about for you? And do you think it is likely to change anything?

Osama bin Laden was reportedly shot in the head during a firefight in a compound in Pakistan. President Obama announced the news at 2330 Washington time, saying it was "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-Qaeda".

We've already seen some of the reaction as people in the US have taken to the streets to celebrate, gathering outside of Ground Zero in New York and the White House in Washington.

But there have also been warnings that in the short-term, people should be on high alert and look out for the risk of reprisal attacks.

So what's your reaction to his death?

Jaap de Hoop Scheffer was Nato Secretary General from 2004-2009.

Before the intervention, he had been sceptical of the chances of anything happening, because of Russia's resistance to the idea. He also raised fears that the US itself is actually very divided over its Libya action - perhaps reflected in the continued message from the White House that they are only acting as part of Nato.

But he has also recently argued that the Libya crisis has strengthened relations between the West and the Arab world, and has now pleaded for Arab countries to get more involved:

"We saw the GCC and Arab League give political coverage to military action in an Arab state, and the United States and its allies did not want to act without their support. Active Arab participation in the enforcement of this resolution should follow... we should use this moment to intensify the political dialogue between Nato, the EU and the GCC.""

Meanwhile it may be interesting to note that as Dutch foreign minister, Mr de Hoop Scheffer was instrumental in the country's decision to lend support to the US and UK in going into Iraq.

Dominique de Villepin was France's Prime Minister from 2005 to 2007, and is now tipped to run for the country's Presidency in 2012. He is also a former foreign minister for his country.

Although he is a long-term rival to the country's current president Nicolas Sarkozy, he has said France has "lived up to its ideals" by leading the military mission.

It has been suggested France had a "duty" to intervene - and indeed, it was France that led the mission when it began on Saturday.

Polls suggest 66% of the country approves of the action.

This blog was written by Mark in Jamaica and posted by me.

Do people in Antigua feel they have anything in common with people in St Vincent? Do Jamaicans talk about the same things as Bajans?

Is there a common Caribbean identity - which means something more than just geography?

More than 20 years ago the Trinidadian Calypsonian David Rudder produced a massive hit called "Rally round the West Indies", which was ostensibly about the region's slow decline from being the world's number 1 cricket nation - but was more about a call for Caribbean countries to get together and support each other.

David once opined that music and cricket were the only times that the West Indies stood together.

So does anything bind together this chain of islands other than a history of slavery, natural disasters and beautiful beaches.

World Have Your Say heard from many of you across the region urging the world to do more for Haiti after the earthquake of 2010, and the amounts raised for relief efforts from its Caribbean neighbours was generous and heartfelt.

But is it anything more than sympathy when a country is in its darkest hour?

Today sees the last broadcasts of the BBC's highly regarded and much-loved Caribbean Service, a victim of the heavy cuts imposed on the corporation by its government.

We've meet many people who have told us of their sadness at the news and Bush House will be a poorer place without the knowledge and expertise of our Caribbean colleagues.

For many of you programmes like Caribbean Report gave your region a sense of identity so for this reason, and to mark the end of many years of fine broadcasting specific to the Caribbean, we've bought together people in Cuba, Antigua, Trinidad and here in Jamaica, to talk across the day about what unites and what divides.

On the World Today we looked at Caribbean culture by linking up musicians in Kingston, Port of Spain and Havana.

Newshour is looking at trade and the economies. World Have Your Say will try to bring all those threads together in special programmes from the University of the West Indies in the Jamaican capital.

The students there, who come from all over the region to study at this top university, will try to answer - what does it mean to be Caribbean?
