Obama urges global help for refugees

In his final address to the United Nations General Assembly US President Barack Obama has urged countries to open their "hearts" to refugees.

The global refugee crisis is a key issue at this year's annual UN meeting, with an estimated 21 million refugees worldwide needing assistance.
