Michael Palin and Musa Ibrahim

The TV presenter Michael Palin - best known as one of the Monty Python team - has travelled to many countries around the world making programmes for the BBC.


Recently he's been using his fame to draw attention to the way asylum seekers are treated in the UK.

Michael is President of the Royal Geographical Society, and at one of their public events he interviewed a Somali refugee living in Britain called Musa Ibrahim.

Musa and his family fled to Kenya from the war in Somalia when he was only seven years old. His father, who stayed in Somalia, was killed.

When Michael and Musa came to the Outlook studio, Musa told Outlook presenter Matthew Bannister how he ended up in Britain and Michael explained how they first met.
