BBC School Report: Escaping war decades apart

Two people driven from their homes by war but decades apart have spoken about starting new lives thousands of miles from where they grew up.

Ninety-year-old Harry Bibring fled Austria aged 13 during the World War Two Holocaust, while 12-year-old Alena moved to Cardiff three years ago to escape fighting in Syria.

They spoke to young reporters at Porth County Community School.
