Syrian migrant 'wants freedom' in UK

Two weeks ago, migrant Ahmed Tawil was fighting to get over fences into the Channel Tunnel.

After fleeing Syria, he said he spent three weeks camped in Calais finally getting onto a train, after 15 attempts, at the end of July.

The 23-year-old, now in Birmingham, is seeking asylum in the UK.

He said he has come to England for peace and freedom, not for financial reward.

He is receiving help from charity St Chad's Sanctuary which provides food and clothing for asylum seekers.
