8 of 10 Haiti missionaries charged with kidnapping return to US

The World

Eight of the 10 missionaries from Boise, Idaho, who were charged with trying to take Haitian children out of the country illegally have been freed and are now back in the U.S. They were released by a Haitian judge on Wednesday, nearly three weeks after they were jailed for trying to take a group of children out of the earthquake-stricken country.

We find out the details with Nick Davis, BBC correspondent in Haiti.
