there are some political leaders who want immigration to go up, the scottish national party for instanced like to see it go down, firstly the gap between rhetoric and reality, secondly the consequence of a decision to ensure it does go down. do you dial down the number of international students? the number coming into work in the nhs? if you do, with what consequence? but if you don't, what is the consequence of the gulf between rhetoric and reality? how do you respond if you were motivated to vote for brexit by a desire to see immigration reducing, and then you see these numbers right now, and the projection that the numbers could remain pretty high into the future even if you discount these particular factors that have pushed the current number as high as it has gone. it looks like immigration could return again as a big issue in british politics, and of course post—brexit, political parties are directly responsible for those numbers. they can't blame anyone else. let's speak to fahad kamal, chief investment officer at the investment managers kleinwort hambros in london. thank you forj

should say not all political leaders have said they would like to see falling immigration, the scottish national partywhen we look at these figures, outwardly it is flattering to our country because lots of people see the uk as a magnet, they are drawn towards us, and yet, the whole question of the numbers creates political and societal quandaries. so, for those political leaders that talk of getting the numbers down, actually delivering lower numbers would be politically different, do you reduce the number of international students, do you reduce the number of people coming into work for the nhs, and at what consequences? where does it leave those growth targets, those desires to get the economy growing? and yet if the numbers remain high, there is a societal pressure, pressure on school places, on housing and again, on the health service. so, it is incredibly difficult, not least for the politicians at the moment, who are saying one thing when the observable reality is the opposite. ichris reality is the opposite. chris mason, thank _ reality is the opposite. chris mason, thank you. - tens of thousa

and i know that brexit can bear fruit, the former head of the scottish national party during the 2014s no, or rather, a way to piss scots. than to tell them that they do not have the right to choose their own future to tell them this when it seems to the scots that the cases won by the referendum are almost settled, when they are already dreaming with might and main. what is the first thing they do when they cross london, i think. now it is wise for scottish nationalists to do the first thing, since it is impossible to immediately return to the european union, then you can return to the european free trade association, like iceland, norway, switzerland, this will allow us to strengthen the economy, and the political unification of the customs border is the next step of the brit. parliament today also discussed the decision of the supreme court of the scottish nationalists, having no place here as an answer. they did not understand london, just that the referendum will take place, as they believe, not on october 19, but a little later, london accused moscow of interfering in the 2014 s

the scottish national party continued campaigning for full independence and of referendum happened in 2014, a 35 percent of scots voted against leaving the u. k. but after breaks edwards, a majority of scots rejected the 2015 referendum scottish 1st minister nicholas sturgeon, said, a new independence vote was required. landry, wilson's an activist with the campaign time for scotland. he won't scotland to be independent. he's had a demonstration at the scottish parliament in edinburgh and joins us now live. thank you very much for being on this news. our. how angry are you and the other protesters are with today's court decision some good evening. it's great to be joining you. i'm joining you from, you can see the scottish parliament building behind me on right to the center, right. by here. i think that the campaign was across to help you today of disappointed by the result, by the decision and supreme court campaigners. i'm not particularly surprised, and i think what has happened is that the decision that was handed down was morning has galvanized on. we'll continue to galvanized p

it probably is going to be along the whole for the scottish national party and the allies to try to get a 2nd referendum for the time being. the british government will be very satisfied . they didn't want the supreme court to actually rule on this a toll, but now that it has done conclusively that at least has pushed the issue further down the line. all right, thanks so much and dean barbara i protested, the world's largest half alive phone factory in china turn violent videos and social media show fox con employees marching in june. being confronted by police thumb have repeal, reportedly been beaten and detained work as a protesting against unpaid wages and the impact of china. strict coven 19 policy. patrick falk is following developments from hong kong. whereas workers and previously scaled walls to flee the factory in droves. now things turn violence at the plant in jung, joe with live stream video showing men wielding stick smashing security camera. the remember, a lot of them had complained about working conditions off the case of infection broke out. and they've been able to co

the scottish national party, which the court permitted to intervene in proceedings, made further submissions down in the scotland act, should be restrictively interpreted in a way which is compatible with that right to self—determination under international law. the court is unable to accept that argument. the snp rely on the judgment of the canadian supreme court in a case concerned with quebec. but in that case, the court held that the right to self—determination under international law only exists in situations of former colonies or where a people is oh pressed, as for example underforeign where a people is oh pressed, as for example under foreign military occupation, or where a definable group is denied meaningful access to government to pursue their political economic, culturaland government to pursue their political economic, cultural and social develop meant. the court found that quebec did not meet the threshold of the colonial people or an oppressed people, nor could it be suggested that people in quebec were denied meaningful access to government to pursue their political, economic

the scottish national party are not like that.n that way, not caramelised, not concord. so but they are doing this talk about having the confidence of scotland to regain the independence that they had until act of union 1707 with the scottish parliament in the english parliament voluntarily, more or less, agree to come together and form the parliament of the united kingdom. nicola sturgeon is arguing that there is a voluntary agreement from which one party can remove themselves, the scottish parliament, the scotch people if you would like, can remove themselves back. the court is saying that that may will be the case, they are not ruling on that, they say that within the powers of the scotland act, but devolved parliament that there is in edinburgh could not in itself do that. it has have the agreement of westminster, the agreement of the uk government as it happened in the last independence referendum in 2014. . ., , ., 2014. nicholas urgent is it an astute politician. _ 2014. nicholas urgent is it an astute politician. he - 2014
