New video has been released showing a British hostage held in Iraq since May appealing to Gordon Brown for help.

The footage shows Peter Moore, one of five Britons taken hostage in Baghdad last year. He'd been working as a computer consultant in the country.

In the low quality video apparently posted on the internet, Mr Moore appeals to Gordon Brown to release nine Iraqi prisoners saying,

"To Gordon Brown. The deal is simple. Release the prisoners, we can go."
