BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Eyes are Everywhere

Tales of tension from Xinjiang, Nigeria, Colombia, North Dakota, and Poland

Tales of tension from Kashgar in Xinjiang, Yola city in northern Nigeria, Medellin in Colombia, The Turtle Mountains reservation in north Dakota, and Kutno in Poland.

Carrie Gracie finds there are eyes everywhere in the city of Kashgar, Xinjiang - as China tries to keep its Uighur territories under control. And, Will Ross meets the hunter-vigilantes volunteering to fight off Boko Haram militants in north-eastern Nigeria.

Linda Pressly wonders whether the once-notorious city of Medellin in Colombia will ever shake off its association with drugs and crime. Mike Wendling loses at cards, but gains new insights into the row over the name of the 'Redskins' NFL team, on the Turtle Mountains reservation for Native Americans in North Dakota, USA. Plus, David Mazower explores contemporary Poland's complex and contradictory attitudes to its lost Jewish heritage in Warsaw and Kutno.
