Nigeria abductions: UK experts to provide advice
The UK is to send a small team of experts to Nigeria to help over the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls.
The girls were kidnapped more than three weeks ago from their boarding school in the north-eastern state of Borno by Islamist Boko Haram militants.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who spoke to Nigeria's president on Wednesday, has condemned the act as "pure evil".
Mr Cameron said the whole world had been appalled by what had happened and the UK "stood ready" to help as needed.
