Nigeria: Herders and Farmers in Crisis

BBC World Service - The Fifth Floor, Nigeria: Herders and Farmers in Crisis

How did historical tensions between farmers and nomadic herders grow into a crisis?

Nigerian herders and farmers in crisis; Walipinis in Bolivia; South Korea's "molka" problem; World Cup social media; Nepal lightning strikes; my home town Khartoum.

Many parts of Nigeria have seen increasingly violent clashes between farmers and Fulani herdsmen. Who are the Fulani, and what really lies behind the violence?  Questions for Halima Umar from BBC Hausa and BBC Yoruba's Ahmed Ambali.

Finding Walipinis in Bolivia
Inma Gil of BBC Mundo has been to the remotest corners of Bolivia in search of Walipinis. These are sunken greenhouses which flourished twenty years ago, but this useful technology has almost disappeared.   

"Molka" in South Korea
Taking secret pictures of women in their underwear, and even using the toilet, is a problem in South Korea. It's referred to as "molka" or "secret camera" and women are demanding tougher sanctions on perpetrators. BBC Korean's Minji Lee has more.

Lightning in Nepal 
It's monsoon season in Nepal, bringing with it storms and lightning.  BBC Nepali's Rama Parajuli recounts her own brushes with lighting, which kills more than 100 people a year.

Bouquets, statues and flushing toilets: Russia 2018
BBC Africa's Victoria Uwonkunda shares her impressions of Russia beyond the World Cup.

My Home Town: Khartoum 
Mohanad Hashim takes us back to his childhood in the Sudanese capital Khartoum, and neighbouring Omdurman on the other side of the Nile.
