Leicester, arsenal and west ham are also in the mix. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Theres been a sharp fall in the number of eu citizens migrating to the uk. Net migration the difference between those entering and leaving the uk fell 81,000 to 246,000 in the year to march. The office for National Statistics said the figures suggest migrants from eastern and Central European countries, the so called eu8 nations, have been returning home. Despite todays falling figures, the government remains well short of its target of bringing net migration below 100,000. Adina campbell reports. Todays new numbers be the early signs of brexit. Net migration, the difference between those entering and leaving the uk, fell, to 246,000, in the year to march 2000 and 17. Thats a drop of 81,000 on the previous year. Much of that figure is down to net migration of eu citizens falling, by 51,000. But despite todays falling figures, the government remains well short of its targets of bringing net migration below 100,000. Since the Eu Referendum weve seen falls in net migration for eu citizens and in particular those for Eastern European, and thats been driven by emigration of Eastern European citizens who are returning for work. The office for National Statistics figures show a sharp rise in people from the so called eu8 countries leaving the uk. But migration experts say the overall net migration figure is still too high. A level is still two and £50,000 a year. Thats a massive numberfour net migration and thats whats going to drive our population up by half a million every year for the indefinite future the level is still 250,000 a year. It means building a city the size of birmingham every two years. This cafe serves scandinavian cuisine but advertising for new staff is increasingly expensive. It normally costs £200. But that shot up to more than £2000 this summer. Costs £200. But that shot up to more than £2000 this summerli costs £200. But that shot up to more than £2000 this summer. I might not choose london because of brexit and what will happen next year in the year after. They want some form of security and knowledge that they are allowed to stay and work in the country they are choosing to go to. Finding stuff here may be difficult, but the government says it wants to get immigration even lower. Labour warns that could harm the economy. We wa nt warns that could harm the economy. We want to be clear, we welcome people from around the world and people from around the world and people from around the world and people from all over europe, 3 million of whom are in this country at the moment contributing to our society, they play an important part in our economy. We need to continue to welcome people. We also need to be clear that when we leave the eu we will have more control of our borders. The nhs, particularly in england, is facing problems of Nurse Recruitment because of the number of eu citizens coming. We have to have stability and migration based on Economic Needs of the uk and thats what were working on. As well as these new migration figures, new data from exit checks at ports and airports has also been released. The data revealed that when it comes to International Students, one of the biggest groups of immigrants, the results werent what some people previously thought. 97 of them left when they finished their courses and therefore didnt abuse their visas. And to build a clearer picture of this the government has now announced that its going to start a new investigation looking at the impact of International Students on the uks society and economy. The study is expected to be completed by september 2018. Adina campbell, bbc news. Our Home Affairs CorrespondentDominic Casciani is here. What is driving all of this change . 0f what is driving all of this change . Of was going to think its going to be the chilling effects of brexit. I think its probably a little bit more complicate it than that but theres no doubt theres something in my going on. The ons, the statisticians, they are cautioning, saying hang on a minute before we make any real assumptions about brexit. But the figures do speak for themselves. The number, the net migration from Eastern Europe alone has halved since the vote took place. Now anecdotally you pick up stories. Ive been out talking to migrants over the past year, i didnt work i did a lot of work around the general election where people said they were scared. The pound is significantly dropped so if you are polish worker, the number of zloty you could buy back home has really decreased. It starts to really decreased. It starts to really is the question whether its worth come to the uk anymore. It sta rts worth come to the uk anymore. It starts to raise the question. Some of the European Countries are starting to grow faster than the uk, poland being example. Thats a key driver. One other thought, poland being example. Thats a key driver. One otherthought, ministers will be buoyed because they had this target they want to hit but the figure from the rest of the world is still 180,000, figure from the rest of the world is still 180 , 000, thats figure from the rest of the world is still 180,000, thats well above the target habit something they have to try to get to grips with. Dominic casciani, thank you. Lets talk about the politics of it, our Political Correspondent leila nathoo is at westminster. Thats politically the key point, isnt it, that the overall figure is still not where the government wants it to be . Thats right, i think there are a number of issues thrown up by these figures. First is this target that dominic was mentioning, the government has a long standing but never achieved as of yet target of getting net migration down to the tens of thousands. When you think it currently stands at almost 250,000 come you can see how far away that is. I think that labour are talking about this being a shambles, and arbitrary target, and calling for the government to abandon it. The government is insisting its not complacent and it is still committed to getting it down to a sustainable level but theres a second issue that has been thrown up and thats theissue that has been thrown up and thats the issue of eu citizens. People will read this as eu citizens fleeing the country after the brexit referendum and although the ons says its too early to say whether this isa its too early to say whether this is a long term trend, the liberal democrats for example are seizing on this, calling it a brexodous. Ministers would say theyve made a fair offer to eu citizens of settled status and i think the government says we will see more of its immigration policy a bit further down the line and finally, on this issue of foreign students here, and the idea that exit checks data reveals that most foreign students are not overstaying their visas, the idea that exit checks are not currently used to calculate the currently used to calculate the current net migration figures will i think reopen the debate about the methodology such a politically sensitive figure. Thanks, leila nathoo at westminster. The number of teenagers gaining the highest gcse grades has fallen slightly, after exam boards moved to a tougher system. For the first time, students in england have been graded from nine to one in english language, English Literature and maths, with nine being the top mark. Our education correspondent Gillian Hargreaves is at Outwood Academy in sheffield. Yes, across england, wales and northern ireland, thousands of stu d e nts northern ireland, thousands of students will have received their gcse results by now. I spent the morning with pupils at this school, as they opened those fateful envelopes. You know the routine. Thejourney. The weight. The nerves. Then the results. College. Ive got in, im all right. I passed everything pretty good, im really proud of myself. In england and new grading system for gcse english and maths, but only a few will achieve the top grade nine. Great four is broadly being impaired to an old style grade cand is being impaired to an old style grade c and is considered a standard part. However, the government says the new grade five should be considered what they call a strong pass. Ive only just passed maths, by a little bit. Yeah, im happy with it. In fact, some maths papers were so challenging in england this year you only needed 18 to pass. The subject content is significantly harder and in the higher maths paper, some of the old a level content is in there so the old a level content is in there so people will take confidence that these results are going to be world class. These results are going to be worldclass. Which is why theyve all this which is why there have been all these changes this year. The government wants students such as these to compete with the best in the world. We want our young people to be equipped to do well in the world of work, in a competitive Global Economy and so it has been necessary. The new grading system has been introduced to draw a distinction between the old gcse and these new more demanding gcses. But these new more demanding gcses. But the combination of new and old style exams has caused confusion and lead head teachers unions to say the pace of change has been too quick. We will look back and think this has been a very distracting process. The most important thing is to let teachers get on and teach and the stu d e nts we teachers get on and teach and the students we need to focus on in particular those middle middle ability and lower ability students who are easily neglected and by focusing on the top end we neglect them either further. Students have spent two years getting used to the changes but the next big challenges explaining it to employers who recruit 16 year olds for apprenticeships. At this hairdresser theyd take on several 16 year old apprentices each year but the owner isnt sure how hell be up to work out who has the best qualifications. Im going to be slightly confused, but over a period of time well work it out. A standard pass, i think that would be our borderline, a four, definitely. Its notjust pupils in england whos been picking up pupils in england whos been picking up results. Welsh students have also been finding out how they fared in new tougher exams. Ministers are determined to make gcses harder, to end what some see as dumbing down. This years results, the first of the reformed exams, are putting those ambitions to the test as well. Just to illustrate how hard is to get that top grade nine, weve been told, bearing in mind 600,016 year olds sit these exams each year, weve been told only 2000 of them have got that top grade nine in english language, English Literature and mathematics, the three reformed examines in england bearing in mind 600,00016 year olds it examines in england bearing in mind 600,000 16 year olds it these exams. It shows how difficult it is to get that top grade, to distinguish the ultra right from the very bright. Gillian hargreaves. The widower of the woman who was killed by a cyclist using a fixed gear bike, without front brakes, is launching a campaign to change the law. Yesterday 20 year old Charlie Alliston was convicted of wanton and furious driving, an offence dating back to 1861, but was cleared of manslaughter, following the death of kim briggs. Her husband, matthew, is calling for the creation of new offences, such as death by dangerous cycling. Hes been speaking to our correspondent, dan johnson. She had this mantra of make everyday count. Enormous believer in filling life with experiences, with travel. She was always happy, always willing to help people, always willing to lend an ear. Yeah, she wasjust fantastic. Kim riggs, a wife and a mother who was hit by a bike. Kim briggs. She suffered serious head injuries and died a week later. That bike should never have been on the road. It was designed for the velodrome. Fixed gear and with no front brake. Riding it was Charlie Alliston, in the middle. Cleared yesterday of manslaughter, but convicted under a law from victorian times of causing bodily harm by wa nton times of causing bodily harm by wanton orfurious times of causing bodily harm by wanton or furious driving. Times of causing bodily harm by wanton orfurious driving. Kim Briggs Family welcomed the verdict but they are calling for the law to be changed. More and more people cycling which is a really good thing, but the law is outdated. It refers back to 1861 and im just asking that the law catches up, as it is doing with technology, with social media, with all of these things. Im just asking that the law catches up. This case raises some broader issues about how cyclists and pedestrians share the same space but the key question is how much responsibility should cyclists have for safety on the road. Should that responsibility be at the same level of car drivers rush to mark questions that have prompted plenty of debate. Especially amongst cyclists. You regularly see bikes that are not fit for the road basically and shouldnt be out on the road, bikes with three wheels that have brakes that dont work, that have brakes that dont work, that are more dangerous than a fixed wheel without brakes. Especially now pedestrians have a phone with them, on the head, they are looking up the phone, so they are really distracted. A response ability to travel on the roads someones causing date death by dangerous cycling, why should it be different from causing death by dangerous driving . Cycling groups arent opposed to a review but there are calls for all traffic laws to be brought up to date. The problem we have got is theres a stack of offences in relation to the conduct offences in relation to the conduct of people on the roads, where we use careless, reckless, furious, wanton, dangerous, and theres a huge inconsistency of peoples perception of what these are, what the consequence should be, and the whole issue needs to be looked at in a holistic review of all matters. Im doing this to honour her. Its not an easy thing to do, to put myself out there when weve been quite a private family up until now, but it comes back to my earlier point that sometimes you have to just do the right thing and it occurs to me that this is the right thing to do and yes, im doing it in kims name, but im also doing it to ensure that just perhaps we can stop this happening again. Our streets are getting busier, with the potential for more conflict. Its a not easily solved. Dan johnson, bbc for more conflict. Its a not easily solved. Danjohnson, bbc news, london.

We have been speaking to the police here in rotterdam. They said they cleared of any immediately as a precaution. We asked whether the public was ever in any danger, they said it was too soon to say. That was not the subject of the investigation. The allah las are an American Rock Group.
