Iraqis face UK asylum hurdle

Seven months after British forces pulled out of the Iraqi city of Basra, many who worked for them are feeling abandoned.
 
An estimated 20,000 Iraqis worked for the British forces, but like those who worked for US forces, many have been villified.

Rosie Garthwaite travelled to meet one successful asylum seeker.
