People who want to come to the uk who are low skilled or low paid wont be able to get a work visa under the governments plans for a new points based immigration system. The scheme will apply equally to people from inside and outside the eu, from nextjanuary, after the end of the brexit transition period. Many industries, including the care and hospitality sectors, have warned the plans could have damaging consequences for the economy. Our Political CorrespondentJessica Parker reports. Hello. Hi, how are you doing . Hi. Introducing herself and a new immigration system. At a high Tech Laboratory the home secretarys proclaimed vision to attract the brightest and best. This is a radical sha ke up, completely. This is the first time in nearly a0 years where the British Government will be in control and will determine its own immigration policy, and will also be able to determine the type of system that it will be in control of. A key change those who want to come and work in the uk will be treated the same whether they are from the eu or not. People will need at least 70 points to apply, so, whats the breakdown . Most will need a job offer. That earns 20 points. It will need to be at an appropriate skill level, for a further 20 points. An additional 20 points will be awarded for a salary of over £25,600 orfor a job in a sector where theres a labour shortage, and speaking english will be a requirement. That earns 10 points. But therell be no entry to the uk for most people doing whats classed as lower skilled work in restaurants, Food Processing plants and care homes. Bad for the economy, says labour an accusation, too, that the governments mislabelling important work that might be low paid as low skilled. They confuse salary levels with the value of a job and the importance of a job. Its going to make it really hard to recruit social care workers, particularly in london and the south east. And businesses who rely on the kind of workers wholl no longer be able to get a visa are being told to improve productivity, invest in technology and do more to retain existing staff. But there are claims the new restrictions will be devastating for parts of the uk. We have onlyjust become a country that has net inward migration and a growing population, and thats entirely thanks to freedom of movement, which is coming to an end, so the real risk for scotland now is that our population as a whole, and our working age population in particular, goes into decline. The government sees this as a key part of delivering on brexit taking back control. Control may be one thing, time another. This is a Major Overhaul of a vast system, and theyve now gotjust over ten months to make it happen. Ministers plan to bring numbers down overall, nothing more specific. Conservative governments have been stung before by missing their own targets. Proof that mapping out an immigration system can be easier than making it happen. Jessica parker, bbc news. And our Political Correspondent leila nathoo joins us now from westminster. Picking up on that last point, this isa picking up on that last point, this is a Major Overhaul of the system and one that could be economically receding. It has to be done in a very short time. Its about to kick in and a little over a year and businesses have to adjust, according to the government. The government has made a distinction between a skilled worker and what they call lower skilled workers and they have prioritised skilled workers so there is no special permission for lower skilled workers. The definition of skilled workers. The definition of skill has been slightly altered, and expanded. The salary threshold has come down and the government is keen to stress who they deem skilled workers are welcome to come. The routes for lower skilled workers have been entirely closed off on most. Organisations are saying they are going to be short of workers. They are going to adapt to the very short time. The government has put the Business Owners to say, this is up the Business Owners to say, this is up to you to make technological advances, to train your staff, pay them more, there was a suggestion of recruiting from the economically inactive uk population. Certainly this is a big change for businesses and they are going to have difficulties adjusting to these new thresholds. How it plays out, we will have to see. The government has said they intend to reduce overall levels of migration, but really what they are doing with this new policy is changing the composition of migrants who come to the uk. Many thanks. Organisations which represent farming, catering and nursing are warning it will be hard to recruit staff under the new immigration system. But ministers insist businesses must stop relying on cheap labourfrom europe, as Colletta Smith reports. Officially classed as low skilled, these bakers are making sure they get a high rise on todays with many coming from europe, they be un likely to hit the 70 point mark on the new immigration stores. Getting even more bakers at this deli could prove tricky. The backbone of our country, we need these low skill bakers and cleaners and we need all of those in order to keep our business surviving. And we need all of those in order to keep our business survivingm and we need all of those in order to keep our business surviving. Is not just the Food Industry who have been frustrated. It feels like social ca re frustrated. It feels like social care has been totally labelled as one of the sectors with special exemptions from this. Those lower skilled workers are really important. For the tech sector, there excited and expecting more higher skilled workers being allowed into the uk. Getting high skilled workers in from outside the eu is it easy at the moment. We have record employment rates in this country at the moment and we have widespread skilled coric so yes the government has moved a long way and thats very welcome taking the cap off skilled user. Back at the deli, its another headache to deal with. Our meats are from spain and germany and italy and the prices are just going through the prices are just going through the roof. Wages are going up through the roof. Wages are going up through the roof. Wages are going up through the roof. Its definitely a difficult time and were doing actually everything we can to keep going. Colette smith, bbc news, manchester. New details have emerged about the duke and duchess of sussexs future. The couple will officially step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family on 31st march. Harry and meghan will no longer have an office at Buckingham Palace. Our correspondent Charlotte Rose is here. What else does the statement say . We know that whatever happens, theres going to be a 12 month review period to see how this all works out because it really is quite a major step for a couple to leave the royal family. Its never really been done before. We dont have a template for how its going to work. What we heard today is because the couple are no longer carrying out duties on behalf of the queen, they wont need an office at Buckingham Palace and so an office at Buckingham Palace and so all of their work will go through their uk foundation. Prince harry is going to retain his titles of squadron leader, but he will lose his honourary degree of petitions positions. They are going to keep their titles but will not use them officially so they wont be expected to be addressed in the same way as other members of the royal family. Whats interesting is that the use of the word royal is under discussion. Thats significant because when they announced they we re because when they announced they were going to forge a progressive role in the royalfamily, they did so as role in the royalfamily, they did so as part of their website which was branded royal sussex. If they are no longer able to use the word royal, all of that is going to change. Some people might think thats quite a technical thing, but actually the branding is really, really important and you can tell that harry and meghan care a lot about it because the designers of their personal website and the same people that meghan used to design her blog site when she was an actress. They clearly care about what their new role is, how theyre going to present themselves, so were expecting details later on whether they can continue to call themselves the sussex royals. We know they will still be in the uk regularly. Were told after the end of march they will attend six of events. Will have to leave that they are. Many thanks. Passengers have begun leaving a cruise ship thats been quarantined in japan for more than two weeks because of coronavirus. More than 70 britons were on board the diamond princess. Four have tested positive for the illness. Our correspondent laura bicker reports from yokohama. Its all over, at least for some. The lucky few shuffled through reporters eager for details after an outbreak of coronavirus turned a dream asian cruise into a floating prison. How do you feel . Im ok, says this relieved passenger, but as those left behind waved them off, there are fears that they might not be ok. Although they are getting to go home, concerns are beginning to grow. Over the last two weeks, one in every seven passengers have contracted coronavirus which, critics say, proves that the Japanese Health authorities quarantine measures have been wholly inadequate. Now, japan says these rates of infection predate the quarantine. One expert in Infectious Diseases says who visited the ship believes everyone on board is at risk. Everyone was shocked and scared of having infections and are still scared of developing the disease in the next couple of days. Those stuck in the cabins have documented the fear and confusion, including this british couple who were diagnosed with the virus overnight. We are going to a hostel, because there isnt a hospital bed anywhere, four hours. 0k . So, we are going to a hostel and, in four or five days, we will be removed from the hostel and put into a hospital where we will receive treatment, so i cant see that theres going to be any way we are going to be on that flight to the uk. Even when they are free of the ship and three of the virus, many countries, including the uk, have said all passengers must spend another 14 days in quarantine. Meanwhile in china more than 2000 people have now died after contracting coronavirus. Most of the deaths were in hubei, the epicentre of the outbreak. Chinese Officials Say the number of reported cases is falling, but case numbers aboard the diamond princess continue to rise. There are passengers from more than 50 countries here. As they head home, it raises the possibility of this ship could be the source of a fresh wave of global infections. Laura baker, bbc news, yokohama. Lets speak now to lawyer Roojin Habibi who specialises in Global Health law. She joins us via webcam from geneva. Good afternoon. Thanks so much for joining us on bbc news. Whats your view about the way this core and the was undertaken quarantine . View about the way this core and the was undertaken quarantine . The only was undertaken quarantine . The o nly syste m was undertaken quarantine . The only system that we have is a legally binding measure after govern. What we know is that when there is an infection or a public disease, countries can adapt Additional Health measures like quarantine and travel restriction if they need measures through criteria s. Those criteria s have to be evidence based, they have to be proportionate to the risk the Public Health crisis. They have to be aligned with interactional human rights offer two obligations. Human rights obligations. The director general had advised countries if they need to resort to quarantines, to minimise the risk and from International Law per perspective,. You think the regulations have been broken here . |j think regulations have been broken here . think theres a strong argument that can be made that they werent followed. What could they have done . What should they have done that would have been better . The International Health regulations also inform countries that they should take measures, Additional Health measures that are the least restrictive and intrusive possible. And that the measures choose the appropriate Health Protection. In this situation, over 600 people on board have been infected. The appropriate Health Protection does not seem to have been achieved in this case. Mental health and distress has come to the passengers on the ship. What could have been done differently, there are more individualized solutions. We know for example that it impacts those are vulnerable, the elderly, and putting 3700 people on a quarantine without really separating the healthy from the infected would have been warranted here. What do you think we can learn about how this has been managed in terms of possible outbreaks of similar types of viruses in the future . Absolutely. I think with every outbreak weve seen in recent history, there have been very protective health measures. Out of fear, out of precaution, and i need to show Political Action being taken on the issue. A need. We know the travel restriction only minimizes spread of infection by a few days at best. This will also be a case in history to review. Many thanks for joining us. The headlines on bbc news.
