here in the uk, the government has announced its plans to reduce legal migration — promising the biggest reduction in the number of people invited to the uk — either on work or student visas, as their dependants, or for humanitarian reasons. the plans include raising the minimum salary for skilled workers — except for health or social care workers, which make up a bulk of the visas. and the number of family members that can be brought here will be further limited. here's our political editor chris mason with the details saint cecilia's nursing home in scarborough this afternoon. 225 people work here, 35 from abroad. the wider social care sector has a vast number of vacancies. overseas staff are seen as crucial. but net legal migration has ballooned when the government promised it would fall. home secretary. the government wants to show it gets that for many, this is unacceptable. people are understandably worried about housing, about gp appointments, about school places. and so the home secretary said the government will... stop overseas care workers from bringing family dependants and we will require care firms

in england to be regulated by the care quality commission in order for them to sponsor visas. he claimed he didn't think this would cut the number of care workers coming here. secondly, we will stop immigration undercutting the salary of british workers. we will increase the skilled worker earnings threshold by a third, to £38,700, from next spring, in line with the median full—term wage for those kinds ofjobs. that means some will need to earn more to get a visa. those working in health and social care will be exempt. allowing overseas workers to earn 20% less in sectors with big staffing shortages is to end and allowing graduates to stay on after their course will be reviewed. and... we will ensure people only bring dependants who they can support financially, by raising the minimum income

for family visas to the same threshold as the minimum salary threshold for skilled workers, 38,700. that is an increase of £20,000. 300,000 fewer people will be eligible to come to the uk than were coming last year. this is the largest reduction on record. secretary yvette cooper. labour are less than impressed. the conservatives are in chaos, they've got no serious - plan for the economy, no serious plan for. the immigration system, - no serious plan for the country. britain deserves better than this! the snp said scotland badly needs migrant workers. i don't know if the secretary of state has any elderly relatives in care. i do, and i know the invaluable contribution that overseas care workers make. the trade—offs around migration, a colourful debate resumes. chris mason, bbc news.

in the last few minutes, it's been announced that the uk's home secretary james cleverly — who you heard from in chris mason's report — is travelling to kigali, where he will sign a new treaty with rwanda about the plan to send asylum seekers there to have their claims processed. we'll bring you full details of that visit, and the new treaty, once mr cleverly arrives in rwanda, here on bbc news. to south america now — and a growing row between guyana and venezuela. that's because over the weekend, venezuela held a referendum on its claim to — essequibo — an oil rich area. they voted to establish a new state there. but the international court ofjustice has ordered venezuela not to do anything that would change the current situation. venezuela's president nicolas maduro says his countrymen have taken the first steps in a struggle to get back what belongs to them — even though the referendum was non—binding, and the turn out was reportedly low.

we spoke earlier to the president of the republic of guyana — mohamed irfaan ali. here's some of what he had to say about the referendum. and on both these questions, the icj made it very clear that venezuela is not to act upon the outcome of these two questions or upon the outcome of the referendum, and that venezuela must respect the status quo as it exists today in guyana, and that is essequibo belong to guyana and guyana administering this county. the washington office on latin america is a research organisation advocating for human rights in latin america, and for more on this story, i'm joined now by its president, carolinajimenez. i'm joined now by its president, thank i'm joined now by its president, you for time on ne nicolas thank you for time on newsday, nicolas maduro vowed in 2021 and two

in fact, there's still a chance of some frosts. now, let's have a look at the big picture then on tuesday. so low pressure close by with a wind off the north sea. so still a bit of an easterly, thick cloud and outbreaks of rain through the early hours across many parts of england and wales, maybe southern parts of scotland and into eastern northern ireland, but clear spells there in the north highlands and also around western parts of northern ireland. so a sharp frost in some spots early on tuesday, but not frosty in england and wales. and then here's the forecast for tuesday itself. in scotland and parts of northern ireland, it's a bright start with some sunshine in the afternoon. the rest of the country overcast, at least for the bulk of the day. chances are things will clear up a little bit in, say, the lake district, lancashire, wales in the southwest. but then that's towards the end of the day now, it's sunset soon, so i think the bulk of england and wales, let's call it a cloudy day with a chance of some rain. however, later in the day, on tuesday, towards the evening hours, skies will clear, the winds will fall light,

and we've got a frost on the way. so still that nip in the air first thing in the morning on wednesday, with temperatures perhaps as low as minus five in scotland and close to freezing if not below in the south. and the morning on wednesday will be very cold across many parts of the country, especially further east. could be some lingering fog, could feel quite raw during the day. so quite disappointing temperatures, again. four degrees, even could be optimistic in some spots, could be close to freezing. but out towards the west, we've got that warmth here, that mild air sweeping in, weather fronts coming in, bringing the outbreaks of rain. and that change really is under way towards the end of the week with a low pressure and westerly winds. now, this is the temperature anomaly map, so warmer than average or colder than average. and actually, you can see towards the end of the week and into the weekend, we've got these warmer colours indicating temperatures actually into double figures for some of us. so let's have a look at the outlook, then. midweek onwards, you can see a fair amount of cloud and some outbreaks of rain,

but a steady rise in the temperature as we lose the easterly winds and transition to westerlies. that's it for me. bye bye.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, as newsday continues straight after hardtalk.

welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. the latest international climate conference is being hosted by a fossil fuel—enriched fiefdom, the united arab emirates. so does that mean the big oil and gas producers finally get it and are committed to decarbonisation? or could it be a sign that the much—vaunted energy transition is being de—prioritised thanks to geopolitical and economic realities? well, my guest is fatih birol, executive director of the international energy agency. is our addiction to fossil fuels proving too strong to break?
