A war veteran who lives in Glasgow says he has been out of work for four years due to gunshot injuries he sustained while serving for the British army in Afghanistan over a decade ago.
Battling on the frontline in the Helmand province, February 4 2010 was a dark day for Jamal Barak as he lay on the ground for three hours anxiously waiting for help to arrive after two bullets pierced through his body - one in the right arm and the other in his chest.
At the cusp of adulthood, he joined the army when he was around 17-years-old as a patrol interpreter.
