Boko Haram massacre in Nigeria and the Irish shopworkers strike

Hundreds of people left dead in Gwoza, Nigeria and the Dunnes store workers who walked out.

Max Pearson presents a collection of this week鈥檚 Witness History episodes from the 大象传媒 World Service.

First, we hear about Boko Haram militants driving into Gwoza in north-east Nigeria in 2014, to begin an assault which left hundreds dead.

Next, the Irish shopworkers who went on strike after refusing to handle South African goods.

Then, it鈥檚 25 years since Nato bombed the Serbian state TV station in Belgrade.

Plus, Norway鈥檚 biggest industrial disaster.

And, Brazil鈥檚 iconic egg-shaped telephone booth.
