A video said to be from the jihadist group Boko Haram shows some of more than 300 Nigerian schoolboys kidnapped last week.
In the video, filmed in a forest, gunmen with their faces covered stand guard over boys, some of whom look no older than 10.
One child is made to issue demands on behalf of the group.
The boys were snatched from a boarding school in the north-western state of Katsina.
