A video to combat racism against asylum seekers will be launched in the North-East next week.

The video comes with a fact sheet called Tackling the Racist Myths and is being launched at Newcastle City Council chamber on Tuesday, as part of Refugee Week.

The launch will be attended by asylum seekers, refugees and guests from across the region.

Filmed during last year's World Cup, it includes interviews with people from different backgrounds and airs their views on asylum in the UK.
