7/2/2023 0 Comments Bbc hourly news summary![]() ![]() More than 200 BBC journalists in Northern Ireland are on a 24-hour strike to protest against cuts to jobs and programming. It would also assess the coverage of topics such as the government’s policy of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda, the impact of immigration on communities in the UK, and the admission of refugees from Ukraine. ![]() The review would be jointly chaired by Madeleine Sumption, the director of the Migration Observatory based at the University of Oxford, and Samir Shah, the chief executive of the independent television and radio production company Juniper, PA Media reported. The BBC board has commissioned a review of the broadcaster’s coverage of immigration, including small boats crossing the Channel, to “consider whether due impartiality is being delivered”, the corporation has said. As an examples, she pointed to the party’s pledge to double the number of medical school places and to train 10,000 more nurses and midwives each year. Anneliese Dodds indicated Labour would focus less on a target-based approach to the number of people entering the country, and more on training within the UK. Immigration could increase in the “short term” under a Labour government, the party’s chair has suggested, but would ultimately be reduced by addressing the domestic skills shortage. A No 10 spokesperson added that the prime minister would not “put a number” on his ambition to bring overall immigration down, but that he would “take stock” of official net immigration figures due to be released later this month. Rishi Sunak works “incredibly closely” with the home secretary, Suella Braverman, on immigration policy, Downing Street has said. Figures released in November show net immigration was 500,000 for the year to June 2022. Sunak said he would not put a number on the level of net immigration he would like to see, but that he wanted it to come down below what it was when he took over. He redefined his target on immigration after earlier in the week backing away from the Conservatives’ 2019 manifesto promise to reduce it below the level then of about 220,000. More than anything I would love to give them a performance to take away for the summer and feel a bit more positive about for sure.Rishi Sunak has set a new goal of bringing immigration numbers down below the level he “inherited”, which was about 500,000 net arrivals a year when he became prime minister. “I’m quite calm about it and not too nostalgic about it but certainly do appreciate the fans support on Sunday. “My career as a player and as a coach first time around and this period and it is there, I live close enough to the stadium and I will be back at Chelsea many times and when you take on a managerial career it doesn’t mean you will be at a club you had 13 years at as a player forever. This is the corny part, I will never feel like I am saying goodbye to the fans. You are in one day out the next and that’s fine. First he was asked about saying goodbye to the fans: “I don’t want this to sound corny but I don’t feel like it is a goodbye, I appreciate it, it will be the end of season and end of my time back but normally when youn leave a club you don’t have a hurrah as a manager.
