About this listen
A wave of protests outside hotels used as temporary accommodation for asylum seekers is set to take place over the weekend. It comes as the latest figures showed there were more than 32,000 asylum seekers in hotels, marking a rise of 8 per cent during Labour’s first year in office. Kolbassia Haoussou, Director of Survivor Empowerment at Freedom from Torture shares his own experience of fleeing from Chad to the UK as a refugee.
And in part two, Londoners are welcoming the 58th edition of Notting Hill Carnival this bank holiday weekend. Ahead of the celebrations, we hear from CEO of Notting Hill Carnival, Matthew Phillip, founders of food truck Sun Valley Jerk, Michelle and Omar, and regular carnival attendee Soleil.
