Nigeria abduction video: Schoolgirls 'recognised'

Relatives and friends of a group of Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram have identified them from a video released by the Islamist group.

The footage showed about 130 of more than 200 girls who were kidnapped a month ago from their boarding school in Borno state.

Meanwhile, the US has revealed it is flying manned surveillance missions over Nigeria to an effort to find the missing schoolgirls.
