A group of former soldiers have been reunited with their Afghan interpreter after winning a legal battle to allow him to settle in the UK.

 

The interpreter - who the BBC is calling Abdul - went into hiding after being turned away from evacuation flights following the Taliban takeover.

 

The Mercian Regiment veterans felt he was "left behind" and successfully forced a government U-turn.
