With Christmas Day missile strikes on sites linked to the Islamic State group, we hear from a Catholic priest in Nigeria.
Also in the programme: a BBC Persian TV documentary, in which one of Iran’s leading female actors renounces the compulsory hijab, has broken viewing records; and we look ahead to some of the more unusual sports in next year's Winter Olympics.
