it comes as the think tank resolution foundation says the proportion of workers on low pay is at itsespondent simon gompertz is here. quite big news from the chancellor. yes, the minimum wage has had a big impact, the resolution foundation, the think tank, says that 200,000 people have been taken off low pay in the last year because of it, and it also includes people on slightly higher pay, because they tend to get moved up if people are on minimum wage. now the government is looking at the future. next year there is a target of getting the national living wage, currently £8.21 up to 60% of average pay, and we will achieve that, we will get it up to £8.60 next year, but after that they are thinking about going to 66% of average pay, and that would get us to something like £9.60 per hour, if you did that immediately. this is what the chancellor had to say about it today. the point of the day's presentation is around where we go next with the national living wage. we will have reached 60% of median earnings by next year. that puts us pretty much at the top of the leaderboard internatio

let's talk to kathleen henehan, analyst, resolution foundation.m wage has grown substantially, and one of the things people were worried about was that employers wouldn't keep up with the rising cost of labour, but so far we haven't really seen employment effects. 0urs are up and employment is ata effects. 0urs are up and employment is at a record high. there seem to be signals that we are right to keep moving, but that doesn't mean to move without being cautious. moving, but that doesn't mean to move without being cautiousm might be that it is reaching a sweet spot where small businesses in particular can absorb it, but if you keep pushing it too high too quickly, small businesses may decide to do the opposite and have to cut jobs in order to fund the rises for some of the other stuff, no? that is an excellent point. it is one of the things we delved into an hour report today. in theory there is an optimal point for the minimum wage but we won't know we've reached it until employers have to start cutting employment and hours. the idea is to move

the resolution foundation, a think tank focusing on people on the lowest incomes, found that the number suggested low pay could be elimiated all together by 2020. the uk has a long—standing lope problem, but which is being eroded thanks to the higher minimum wage that was introduced in 2016. at the moment there is a political consensus it seems in favour of pushing the rate higher, it is good news because it would further reduce the number of people on low pay. but going into uncharted territory we need to be careful about how we make that change. chelsea have won the europa league after thrashing arsenal a—1 in the all—english final in baku. only about 5,000 fans of both sides travelled, leaving the stadium appearing to be half—full, and a rather eerie atmosphere. is itfairto is it fair to say it was a fashion? yes, it was. it was all in the second half. the second half was very different to the first. the first half, i have to say, was really bizarre. 0—0, very tense. the thing that was clear last night, and huge congratulations to chelsea, but it was a strange atmosphere. two and a h

resolution foundation — a think tank focusing on people on the lowest incomes — found that the numberuld be eliminated all together by 2020. the uk has a long—standing low pay problem, but which is being eroded thanks to the higher minimum wage that was introduced in 2016. at the moment there is a political consensus it seems in favour of pushing the rate higher, it is good news because it would further reduce the number of people on low pay. but going into uncharted territory we need to be careful about how we make that change. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. the government is told to cut university tuition fees in england, as part of a package of reforms to the funding of higher education. at least seven people have died and twenty one are missing , after a tour boat collision on the river danube, in hungary. a buy has been airlifted to hospital following an incident at a theme park in north yorkshire. ben stokes dragged england another trophy won, but the key architects may not be around to celebrate, chelsea star ed in hazzard and celebrate, chelsea star e

the resolution foundation, a think tank focusing on people on the lowest incomes, found that the numberdropped by 200,000 last year and suggested it could be eliminated altogether by 2020. israel is to hold fresh elections, after the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, failed to form a new coalition government. the september vote will be the second this year, an unprecendent event in israeli politics. could an app tell you where the best parking space is? data on parking spaces across the uk is set to be standardised, in the hope that it will make finding and paying for parking easier. apps could potentially collate such data and allow drivers to find spaces before they leave home, reducing pollution in town centres as drivers don't have to go around looking for parking. disney has issued a statement saying it would be very difficult to do any more filming in the us state of georgia if new restrictive abortion laws come into effect. tv and film productions are responsible for tens of thousands ofjobs in the state and disney has shot a number of blockbuster movies there, including black

the resolution foundation argues that poverty pay could be eliminated by the middle of the 2020s — ifor, philip hammond, says low pay could be elimated altogether. the point of the day's presentation is around where we go next with the national living wage. we will have reached 60% of median earnings by next year. that puts us pretty much at the top of the leaderboard internationally, and the question is, can we push the national living wage rate further, possibly as far as eliminating low pay altogether? a "national scandal." that's how ofsted has described support for children with special educational needs in england and wales. today, thousands of parents have delivered a petition demanding that the government takes action, with campaigners saying underfunding has left vulnerable children in limbo. jayne mccubbin has been speaking to one of the families involved. this is when she was hours old. born at 24 weeks, dakota was so small she fit in mary's hand, so small she weighed less than a bag of sugar. they really fought to keep her alive. yeah, and she fought to stay alive, and now

believable, i think they are saying that all of the information by the rowntree foundation, by the resolution foundationse from the dwp or the government, wejust detailed response from the dwp or the government, we just haven't engaged with the very detailed statistical and other analyses in a very different direction. are you running when you accuse the department for work and pensions of creating effectively the modern version of the 19th century warehouses —— are you wrong. made infamous by charles dickens. do you stand by that? workhouses were famous for trying to make the receipt of any sort of benefits as unpleasant as possible, for using very severe sanctions and for ensuring that the levels of assistance that were provided in the workhouses were so grim that people would not at all want to stay there. that is fine, if you can get out and you can work, you shouldn't be in a work else. but if you have a disability, if you have a family situation, if you have an illness, if you have a skill that is no longer wanted, you should be able to get benefits that are decent and to live on. thank you so muc

decade—long hit to their earning power from the financial crisis, according to a new report from the resolution foundationpaid jobs, affecting their future pay packets. our business correspondent katy austin reports. i was mainly applying for retail or hospitality roles, and in one interview i was interviewed against people who had at the time had a business degree, and i was like, wow. looking for her firstjob in 2008, during the recession, carol found herself up against stiff competition for fewer jobs. since then, she's done a string of different roles — not earning as much as she'd hoped. i didn't expect it to be as tough, really. but on a positive note, i think the whole experience has taught me a lot about just persevering. we already knew that people starting out on their careers in the aftermath of the financial crash were at a disadvantage, but new research highlights that because it was particularly difficult to find well—paid work, there's been a long—lasting impact. today's reports says a so—called "crisis cohort" who graduated during the downturn took a 6% pay hit. it says university leavers

we can now speak to lindsayjudge — the senior research and policy analyst at the resolution foundationondered what your initial thoughts are to the findings? —— here on afternoon live. i think it's interesting that they have launched this review today. it's absolutely true income inequality has risen up the political agenda in recent years and that in itself is fascinating because in actual fact, that in itself is fascinating because in actualfact, inequality itself has not risen. i think the reason for that is because we live ina kind reason for that is because we live in a kind of fundamentally different time than we did say, 30 years ago. 30 years ago, income inequality was about the rich pulling away from the bottom and today, it's about the bottom and today, it's about the bottom falling away behind the rich. if you think about the 1980s, the kind of symbol was the yuppie, and today the symbol of inequality is the food bank. and no matter how irritating you thought yuppies where we are clearly all find food banks more reprehensible. that makes sense but what makes less sense to me

parentheses, it is tragically difficult to raise money in it, and there is a resolution largely pioneered by the gates foundation to focus on what works. there have been only about 120 evidence studies ever in the humanitarian sector. we've done about 40 of them and we've got another 18 on the go. but you can see, if you type in the out comes and evidence framework, what we know, what our field managers do, and a couple of things come through very clearly. one, if you give refugees cash, you help them and you help the local population. and you diffuse tension that some people have referred to, and we can show you how much of a difference it makes. secondly, our services are always open to host populations as well as fjsz, so you don't get lebanese or jordanians saying hang on, why is there an employment program for me but not for them. ditto, same thing with health services. third, half of the world's displaced people are kids. and i don't think it's wrong to talk geo strategically as well as morally about the utter short sightedness of failing to education generations people who are in the midst of war, even if

resolutions, the ones that are the foundation for sanctions on north korea, it does fall short of breaching announced on longer range ballistics missiles. however, short range ballistic missiles are a reason for concern to japan and south korea as well as the thousands of u.s. military personnel that are based in the region. president trump so far doesn't seem too bothered by it. his focus appears to remain strictly on disarmament. the question now, though, is how far is kim jong-un willing to push this in order to get sanctions relief as talks stalled? both kim and president trump appear to be using the same pressure strategy is also reason for concern here given that this is the most significant provocation that poses a threat 0 any progress made in the last 18 months. kendis? >> all right. our thanks for the latest there on the renewed tensions in the peninsula there in south korea and north korea. thank you. >>> in today's round-up of other stories, new staffing announcement of white house. president trump is nominated mike morgan to head up i.c.e. a street in los angeles now bears the

resolution, i thank chairman engel and ranking member mccaul to support our bilateral relationship with taiwan. this marks the 40th anniversary of the taiwan relations act which together with president reagan's assurances served as the foundation of the relationship between two countries. since the t.r.a. was signed in 1979, taiwan has become a vibrant consolidated democracy, one of our most portrayeding partners and model in so many areas for the rest of asian the whole world really. going forward we must continue to implement the t.r.a. and do better at fully appreciating the policy commitments. i urge the president to immediately finalize an arms sales package and begin negotiations for a free trade agreement. as china's influence grows, our commitment to taiwan will be the bellwether for our commitment. we do not owe china a vote on how we treat taiwan. if we are aquiff call in our support for taiwan, how could we support democracy and democratic values when they are threatened elsewhere? i support my support for h.r. 2002. this legislation this legislation takes important steps to advance our bilateral relationship, including support representation in international organizations. it would also include guidelines for taiwa
