Afghan nationals given chance to live in UK

Afghan nationals, who risked their lives to help the British military, have been offered the chance to settle in the UK.

The Ministry of Defence says those who worked for the UK government, mostly as interpreters, will see their applications to relocate 'rapidly accelerated'.

One interpreter, who is already here, told Sky News that people will still be left behind if the UK tries to decide who is at risk.

Sky's Gerard Tubb spoke to him.
