UK asylum policy demonstrations: Anti-immigration & anti-racism protesters face off

More protests are planned in several British towns and cities on Saturday, at hotels used to accommodate asylum seekers. Rival demonstrations were held on Friday, with anti-racism protesters facing off against anti-immigration demonstrators. Crowds gathered in front of two hotels in London where asylum seekers have been staying. Some far-right protesters called for one of the hotels to stop housing migrants. Counter protests were organised by the pressure group 'Stand Up to Racism.'

Al Jazeera’s Milena Veselinovic spoke to protesters from both sides on the immigration issue in Bournemouth on England's southern coast.
