Islamic State hostages: Families appeal for release

The families of a Japanese and a Jordanian hostage being held by Islamic State (IS) have made personal appeals for their safe return.

The messages were issued as a deadline set by the militants has passed and the fate of the hostages is still unclear.

Jordan has said it is ready to swap an al-Qaeda prisoner for its captured fighter pilot but IS will only free the Japanese hostage in return.
