0:03:24 > 0:03:29We are going across the whole city of Leicester trying to find every
0:03:29 > 0:03:32rough sleep out there. We know some of them are visible and sleep in the
0:03:32 > 0:03:37middle of the city but a lot of them are elsewhere. We want to engage

0:04:11 > 0:04:18and she tries to improve her English to improve her career as a hospital
0:04:18 > 0:04:22life technician. She had to leave a job because of deadly air strikes
0:04:22 > 0:04:31around their apartment in their Syrian city.I was standing in the
0:04:31 > 0:04:37kitchen and all the glass from the window came over me. I told my
0:04:37 > 0:04:43husband we have to leave because it is very dangerous.Their city became
0:04:43 > 0:04:47a front line between rebel fighters and Syrian government forces so they
0:04:47 > 0:04:52headed for the Turkish border. Leaving Syria meant becoming
0:04:52 > 0:04:55refugees and when they applied the resettlement, Britain invited them
0:04:55 > 0:05:00here. This is the moment they boarded the plane for a welcome in
0:05:00 > 0:05:06Nottinghamshire that they'll never forget.My neighbour is very kind
0:05:06 > 0:05:13and lovely. When we came to my house the first time, she gave to me a
0:05:13 > 0:05:21flower. The British people are overwhelming us in kindness.This
0:05:21 > 0:05:25performance was for the charity workers who helped them settle in
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Nottingham, a small way to say thank you.
