Thursday was Alan's 45th birthday. From Our Own Correspondent had a letter to their own correspondent.

Video footage of Alan Johnston released...

Good to know he's still alive at least.

No indication of when the video was filmed, though.

Funny thing is he probably agrees with most of the things they made him say in the video.

Let's hope the current dire situation in Gaza doesn't put Alan in more danger, and fingers crossed it may even lead to his release...

If he is not released by next wednesday it will be 100days since Alan was kidnapped. Look out for a special broadcast making this

This seems like a significant development.

Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas has threatened to use force to release BBC reporter Alan Johnston by the end of Monday if he is not let free.

I hope the poor man is released by the end of today.

Although hopefully his kidnappers won't do anythng silly when they do arrive to release him with force

Lets hope for the best here. From the way the two groups are speaking within 24 hours we are going to have a free Alan Johnston or a dead Alan Johnston. Lets all hope that they keyt him go without a big fight.

I'm sure Alan features in the 'BBC News has more correspondants in more places than any other broadcaster' trail? Still?

Are there any online posters anywhere that can be downloaded, printed and displayed?

I can't find any, it would be good to display some widely to keep him in the public eye tomorrow as it'll be day 100 - unfortunately.
