According to Amnesty International there are already 2.6 million registered Afghan refugees in the world - the second highest number after Syrians.

As yet, there is very little detail as to how the new bespoke UK Afghan refugee system would work - where they would be dispersed to and how much it would cost - not least in additional funds for the NHS and Education for complex needs.

A guide to how it will operate is the  Syrian Resettlement scheme, but that was not without its detractors.

The BBC’s Secunder Kermani reports from the heart of the Afghan capital, Kirsty Wark interviews Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani and Sima Kotecha reports on refugee resettlement.
