Sierra Leone sprinter on sleeping rough in London
The Sierra Leone sprinter Jimmy Thoronka didn't return home after the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in July.
Flights had been suspended because of the ebola crisis and when the 21-year-old heard that his adoptive mother and his uncle had died, he didn't want to go back.
He has been homeless in London since and last week he was picked up by police and now he is claiming asylum here.
