Kate Adie hosts BBC correspondents' tales from Nigeria, France, Italy, Algeria and Jordan.

Kate Adie hosts BBC correspondents' reports on a militant group in Nigeria, the debt crisis in Italy, independence for Algeria, the hospitality of Jordan, and conformism in Paris.

Churches and mosques are being targeted by the Boko Haram militant group in Nigeria. Will Ross has been to the northern city of Jos, a city he says feels like it's under seige. 

The Europe-wide debt crisis is increasingly being felt in Italy, where both prices and unemployment are soaring. Alan Johnston's in a suburb of Rome, hearing that people have begun to feel the pinch. 

It's fifty years now since Algerians won their battle for independence from France. Chloe Arnold in Algiers has been meeting a woman who feels she did her bit to liberate the country.

Jim Carey's in Jordan, a kingdom which prefers hospitality to headlines and has a policy of being nice to everybody. 

And is conformism really a feature of the French psyche? It's a question which has been troubling Hugh Schofield on his morning runs around the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris.
