Max Pearson presents a collection of this week\u2019s Witness History episodes from the BBC 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\u2019s 25 years since Nato bombed the Serbian state TV station in Belgrade.

Plus, Norway\u2019s biggest industrial disaster.

And, Brazil\u2019s iconic egg-shaped telephone booth.
