Kidnapped Schoolgirls Freed in Nigeria
More than one hundred schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram militants have been released
More than one hundred schoolgirls abducted last month from the town of Dapchi by Boko Haram militants have now been released. We'll hear the latest on that unfolding story. We'll hear NASA TV's live feed of the launch into space of three astronauts from Kazakhstan. Also, we have a news update on the war in Syria, where rebels have agreed to evacuate a besieged town in eastern Ghouta.
