The killings go on in Kashmir

BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, The killings go on in Kashmir

Families' grief over civilian deaths; plus stories from Congo, Colombia and Poland

Hindus and Muslims alike grieve civilian deaths in Kashmir; plus tales from the Republic of Congo, Colombia's elections and a strategically significant corner of Poland.

Pascale Harter introduces reportage, analysis and reflection from BBC correspondents and writers around the world. 

The situation in Kashmir is deteriorating again, with a new wave of attacks on civilians. Militant separatist groups appear to be targeting people purely because of their religion, while the Indian army stands accused of human rights violations. Yogita Limaye has been hearing from two families affected by the violence.

We owe the planet’s peat bogs a debt of gratitude, as they are hugely effective at sucking planet-warming carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and storing it underground. Andrew Harding travelled deep into the Republic of Congo, to see a vast area of peat the size of England, which is currently under threat. 

Colombia has just elected the first avowedly left-wing president in its history. Katy Watson was in Bogota to see the election of President Gustavo Petro confirmed - and spoke to some of those who voted for him about their hopes for a more diverse future.

Sadakat Kadri takes a sobering journey to a corner of eastern Poland which may seem sedate  - perhaps even a little dull - but where historic grievances and future risks are never far away. The 'Suwalki Gap' is a narrow frontier between Ukraine and Poland, sandwiched  between Belarus and the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad on the Baltic. It's a spot with huge strategic importance - should Russia ever roll its tanks across the region it will cut off several NATO countries from their allies.
