The families of the Nigerian school girls kidnapped in Southern Borno state 4 weeks ago have reacted to the video released by the Islamist group Boko Haram. Some told the BBC that seeing the girls alive has given them hope, although they were shocked at seeing the mostly Christian girls in Islamic dress. In the video, the Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau offers to trade girls for jailed Boko Haram members. The interior ministry has rejected such a deal. Senator Ali Ndume who represents the region from where the girls were abducted encouraged all possible ways to secure their release.

The results of the first exit polls in India's general election indicated a victory for the coalition led by the opposition candidate Narendra Modi.

印度大選的第一次民調(diào)結(jié)果顯示反對派候選人納倫德拉?莫迪領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的聯(lián)盟獲得勝利，調(diào)查還顯示執(zhí)政的國大黨表現(xiàn)最差。選舉數(shù)據(jù)顯示投票率達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的66%，安德魯?諾斯在瓦拉納西市報道。

Exit polls published by the Indian media say Mr. Modi and his Hindu nationalist BJP are on course to form the next government. Polls have a bad record here though, they got the last 2 elections wrong. And the results will not be counted until Friday. But record turnouts usually signal big change. And if Mr. Modi has been victorious, it will mean an end to 10 years of rule by the Congress Party with the Gandhi family as its head.
