New immigration rules in the UK

The World

Controlling immigration was one of the key promises of the pro-Brexit campaign. Now, just two weeks after Britain’s departure from the European Union, the government has announced a complete overhaul of the country’s immigration system. Under the new rules, low-skilled workers will not get visas to work in Britain and all migrant workers will be expected to speak English. The World’s Orla Barry reports from London.
