The British Government intends to overhaul the country’s immigration system after new data shows arrivals had hit a record high.

New figures show net migration is at 900,000 in the year to June 2023, which Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer blames on the previous Conservative government — 22 percent higher than the original numbers.

He says they had pledged to get the numbers down multiple times and failed every time.

UK correspondent Kay Oliver told Heather du Plessis-Allan the big question remains how much of it is legitimate and genuine, but also how much of it is uncontrolled.

Meanwhile, ex-soldier Daniel Khalife has been found guilty of spying for Iran, and the world’s oldest man John Tinniswood, who was born the same year the Titanic sank, has died aged 112.

China has been preparing for Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs.

The US President-elect is pledging to add another 10 percent on top of existing tariffs on Chinese exports, where he also slapped tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump has made more about curtailing the supply of drugs and reducing illegal immigration. 

But Asia business correspondent Peter Lewis told Heather du Plessis-Allan it’s hard to know what China can really do about that.

He says economists predict the tariffs will reduce exports by about 15 percent, knocking off about 0.5 percent of China’s GDP.
