All the latest from flushing meadows where karolina pliskovas reign as world no 1 has come to an end. Good evening. Business leaders have expressed their deep concern about plans to restrict the number of low skilled workers who come to the uk after brexit. The plans are included in a leaked Home Office Document, which also urges employers to give preference to british people looking for work. The Hospitality Industry said today it relied on eu workers and warned the plans would be catastrophic if implemented. But the Prime Minister told mps the government was committed to controlling immigration. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports. There in black and white, a plan for immigration after we leave the eu. Leaked ideas to answer the demand the Prime Minister believes millions made when they voted to go. Prime minister, is your immigration policy going to hurt the economy . A draft of a tighter system of control that could come with its own costs. Overall immigration has been good for the uk, but what people want to see is control of that immigration. That is, i think, what people want to see as a result of coming out of the European Union. We are already able to exercise controls in relation to those who come to this country from outside the countries within the European Union and we continue to believe as a government that it is important to have net migration at sustainable levels. The document from august says freedom of movement, where unlimited eu citizens can come here, will end when we leave. New arrivals after 2019 would have to register to stay long term. There will be tighter rules for lower skilled workers to prioritise british employees, perhaps even with a cap on numbers. And for eu citizens who do come to the uk, it will be harder to bring family along. So, perfect piping. This Birmingham Food factory is already losing one italian chef who is worried about brexit, and boss rosie is concerned it will make it harder to attract new arrivals, the staff she needs. It will definitely hinder ourjob as an employer but actually, as a food manufacturer. So we do have chefs from all over the world. It will impact our ability to recruit people. Come to order, please. Officially, labour is rather silent on the leak, not yet government policy. But prominent voices fear cutting off low skilled immigration could choke business. The idea that we stop eu citizens coming here, the lower skilled ones who are important for hospitality, construction and social care, will somehow lead to us being more prosperous, is ridiculous. Thats why im hoping this leak isnt genuine government policy and if it is, we are hoping the government rethinks. Is it not time we took back control of our immigration policy . But the government wont budge on its view the referendum was an instruction from the public to control immigration. Exa ctly how 7 well, one minister admitted it wont be an easyjob and says since this draft was put together only last month, there have been six more versions of the plan, with notjust the home office, but the treasury, the Brexit Department and number ten all determined to chip in. And dont forget, whatever they decide here, they have to try to persuade the eu. First signs from eu members dont bode well. For us, it would be a nonstarter. For us, it would go in the wrong direction and wont help at all, neither the current negotiation nor the future negotiations. Leaving the eu is notjust about obscure negotiations in the back rooms of brussels but Government Departments right now, engaged in rewriting the countrys rules. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. So what effect could the plans have on the uk economy, and on sectors such as health, social care and hospitality, if far fewer low skilled workers are allowed to come here after brexit . Our home editor mark easton has been investigating. For many, brexit was about restricting eu immigration. Here in clacton, for example, theres support for an immigration policy that deters low skilled european workers from coming to the uk unless it can be shown they make british people richer. Britain should come first because its broken britain at the minute. They shouldnt just come here and get jobs straightaway. Its not right. Brexit means the same rules we currently use for non eu migrants can be applied to those from the eu, for instance, discouraging low skilled workers. The Home Office Document proposes low skilled eu workers be limited to staying a maximum of two years, that they meet a specific salary threshold, with a cap on overall numbers. But what does low skilled mean . For non eu, it means a job paying less than £30,000 a year. So many care workers, for example, teachers, builders and nurses are barred unless their occupation is on a shortage list. This afternoon, nurses were demonstrating outside parliament, demanding better pay but also warning the nhs in england is currently 40,000 nurses short. One of the difficulties is, because of the low pay of nurses, they dont fall into the category of the Skilled Workforce we want to bring in so weve always been dependent on nursing being on a shortage list, which we would obviously encourage that demand, that it stays on the shortage list. Inside the houses of parliament, mps were today discussing how lower immigration might hit key Services Like social care. But those in favour of tougher controls say even though the uk is close to full employment, the country should do more to fill british jobs with british workers. What we want to do is encourage employers to train local people, actually, to make more of an effort to look ahead and prepare for the time when there wont be all these people coming in with ready made skills, prepared to work for lower wages. Todays policy proposals also envisage tighter controls on family members an eu worker can bring with them, a minimum income for spouses, for example. But official government advisers have said post brexit, low immigration would cost britain £113 million a week by 2021. Employees including the creative industries, construction, employers including the creative industries, construction, agriculture and the Hospitality Industry have been warning of dire economic consequences. Recruiting from the European Market is really important to us and it adds another skill base to our workforce and that skill base is often something we just cant get locally. Todays policy proposal document may well enjoy public support but it also highlights the swings and roundabouts of the journey to a lower migration britain. Mark easton, bbc news. So on the day that Business Leaders voiced their disquiet about aspects of the governments brexit planning, lets talk to our business editor, simonjack. This is all coming at a time when ministers are trying to get business on board. Yes, get them back on board on board. Yes, get them back on boa rd after on board. Yes, get them back on board after a slightly frosty relationship during the election and these proposals did not go down well and they come precisely at a time when the government is trying to demonstrate business supports their approach to brexit, but in fact, theyve been circulating a letter to some of the uks biggest companies, they want them to sign a letter, saying the leaders of some of the uks most dynamic businesses, even though some of them supported gabi maine and some supported leave, but 15 months later, we share an understanding brexit is happening and believe this is a good time for the government and employers to Work Together and we look forward to the government negotiating an interim period, basically asking business do endorse the governments general approach. Ive spoken to several Business Leaders today and white while they understand and want to work closely with government, they feel uncomfortable about endorsing an approach to brexit that many of them think lacks clarity. One said they would not sign this letter in a million years. As you say, that is a setback for government that was trying to rehabilitate its relationship with business. I can tell you the cbi, the employers group, is trying to circulate a letter of its own and will probably have more success letter of its own and will probably have more success with getting signatories so business wont be told about what it is about the government policy they support, they wa nt to government policy they support, they want to tell the government for themselves. Thank you forjoining us. Themselves. Thank you forjoining us. Simonjack, themselves. Thank you forjoining us. Simon jack, our themselves. Thank you forjoining us. Simonjack, our business editor. Hurricane irma, the second most powerful storm ever recorded in the atlantic, has now made landfall as it sweeps across a number of caribbean islands. This evening, president macron has warned about casualties in the french caribbean territories, saying the impact had been hard and cruel. The category 5 storm is now heading towards the British Virgin islands and to puerto rico. Our correspondent laura bicker is there tonight. We are about one hour away here in puerto rico from experiencing, almost experiencing the eye of Hurricane Irma. She is expected to brush the northern half of the island with 185 mph winds. I have to tell you, we have picked a sheltered place to broadcast from but outside here, the wind is already gusting up to 120 mph. There is debris flying through the air. There are no flights in and out of the island and people are sheltering and have been told to stay indoors. Hurricane irma has already travelled across the eastern caribbean, causing major devastation and two people have lost their lives which has made people here fearful of what could be to come. This is what it sounds like to be at the heart of one of the strongest storms recorded in the atlantic. The winds, like a jet engine, roared through the eastern caribbean. The category 5 hurricane ripped roofs off homes and devastated parts of the french territories of st barts and st martin. Two people have lost their lives. Translation i want, firstly, to say a few words to express our profound compassion and solidarity to our fellow citizens who today were affected by Hurricane Irma on st martin and in st bart. These pilots flew into the eye of the storm, a unique view of the sheer scale of this hurricane and, at its core, are those catastrophic 185 mile an hour winds, and that is what they fear on the island of puerto rico. The aim is to try to save as much as possible. Neighbours are handing out wood boarding and supplies. This shop owner describes them as angels. Were a strong island. You know, weve been through this before, so. You know, its a lot of emotions going on, you know. The governor has been inspecting one of the shelters set up for the thousands who are expected to evacuate low lying areas. We are hopeful that itll skid off somewhere north east of puerto rico, but were prepared for the worst as well. We cant leave anything to chance, and our priority right now is to make sure that the people of puerto rico are safe. These families hope they will be safe here. The full force of Hurricane Irma is still several hours away and already you can see and feel its effect. The preparations have been made over the last few days and the governor says that could be the difference between lives lost and lives saved. In florida theyre taking no chances, evacuations are already under way. The storm could hit the Sunshine State this weekend. President trump has declared a state of emergency, freeing up relief funding for florida and puerto rico. We have a lot to discuss, including the fact that theres a new and, seems to be, record breaking hurricane heading right toward florida and puerto rico, and other places. Well see what happens. Well know in a very short period of time, but it looks like it could be something that will be not good. Believe me, not good. Hurricane irma has proved to be a terrifying, unstoppable force. All those in her path can do is hunker down and hope. Laura bicker, bbc news, puerto rico. So for the latest on the path of Hurricane Irma and where its heading, werejoined by nick miller of the bbc weather centre. Huw, this Hurricane Season is turning the astonishing into the almost unbelievable. First, hurricane harveys record and devastating rain and now irmas catastrophic winds. This is breathtaking a view taken from space today of the eye of Hurricane Irma passing directly over barbuda. That means the island went from catastrophic winds to almost dead calm in the eye, then back to catastrophic winds again. Amazing to think about but remember, there are people who lived this. From barbuda, irma is now battering the virgin islands, then quickly on to puerto rico, the Dominican Republic tomorrow and then the bahamas. After that, the current forecast takes it close to cuba on friday and then florida at the weekend, but exactly where in florida is still open to question. But importantly, by the weekend, irma is still forecast to be a major hurricane. That is why the necessary preparations are already underway in florida. If it does hit florida, it will the first time in the same season that two at least category 4 hurricanes have made landfall in the continental usa. Another reason this Hurricane Season is cementing its place in the record books. There is now another hurricane in the atlantic, jose ca nas there is now another hurricane in the atlantic, jose canas this weekend it may also come close to barbuda is a major hurricane. Jose, and this weekend. In myanmar, the government has rejected accusations that the armed forces are conducting a campaign of indiscriminate violence, targeting Rohingya Muslims. Aung san suu kyi, the countrys leader, said the situation in Rakhine State was being distorted by what she called a huge iceberg of misinformation. Its the first time shes spoken since the crisis erupted two weeks ago, leaving hundreds dead and thousands fleeing their homes. 146,000 people have arrived in bangladesh in the past 12 days, some travelling over land, others arriving on boats across the bay of bengal. The un says that figure could rise to 300,000. Our correspondent Sanjoy Majumder sent this report from the port city of coxs bazar, near the bangladesh myanmar border, where boats are arriving. These are myanmars boat people dazed, confused after an exhausting trip over the choppy bay of bengal. Stepping on shore with their possessions, whatever they could grab in a hasty escape. This boat carrying Rohingya Refugees has just arrived on the south eastern coast of bangladesh. You can see what a dangerous voyage it has been for them, the boat is lifting dangerously on its side. But its the only way they could have made their way here. Theyve been frightened, running for their lives. On the beach they collapse in a heap, many of them severely dehydrated and sea sick after an eight hour voyage. Some can scarcely believe theyre alive, others let their loved ones know they made it. A brother and sister united after days, separated after their village was attacked, unsure if they would ever seen each again. But some, like dilbar, continue to relive the horror of a village being attacked . Translation it has taken us 20 days to come here. Our village was attacked by the army and buddhist mobs. They burned our house and my aunt was killed. Her grandson was shot, his injured arm now encased in homemade splint. Translation we hid in the mountains for 12 days from where we could hear the sound of bombing, of rockets being fired. People were being slaughtered by the army and buddhist mobs. Its hard to independently verify whats happening inside myannmar, access is severely restricted. But this unverified video, shot by one of the escaping rohingyas, appears to show thousands of others waiting to leave, fleeing what they allege are targeted killings. And many of those who do make it across to bangladesh bare the scars of violence. This teenager shows us what he says are gunshot wounds. When my village was attacked i tried to run, he says. The soldiers fired indiscriminately. Many people died. They are sometimes described as the worlds most persecuted minority, driven from their homes, the rohingyas now have to find a way to rebuild their lives. Sanjoy majumder, bbc news, bangladesh. In her comments today, myanmars leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, made no mention of the tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims whove fled her country. Today the United Nations secretary general, antonio guterres, said he feared a humanitarian catastrophe. So why has aung sang suu kyi remained silent on the suffering of the rohingya . Our special correspondent, fergal keane, whos interviewed her several times over the years, has this report, which does contain flashing photography. Against the tyranny of dictatorship, she was the perfect symbol a compelling voice, articulating the language of universal human rights. Great prizes followed, a nobel laureateship for peace. But house arrest, the destruction of her family life were the price for what seemed an unbending commitment to human rights. And yet she defends a brutal military crackdown that has uprooted more than 100,000 people. Today she was welcoming indias supportive Prime Minister and denouncing terror attacks on po
