Care Visits, Visas & The Defender
Start your day with the latest news and updates, with Jim and Jo at breakfast.
Care workers in England are still being asked to provide personal care for people who are older and disabled in 15 minute visits, according to a report by the union, Unison. It says in a survey of more than one thousand care staff, the majority said they didn't have time to provide dignified care.
Also, the 麻豆社 has been investigating how thousands of Indians have come into Britain in the last few years on EU passports. It's because some areas of India are former Portuguese colonies giving them a right to enter the UK from Portugal. Recent figures from the Office for National Statistics show up to 20,000 came from Daman, Diu and Goa using this route. But Portuguese authorities are investigating whether some of them have arrived on false passports. Our reporter Ushma Mistry has been out to a language class in Leicester to meet some who've settled in the city.
And, more than 2 million of them have been built, with owners including the armed forces, James bond and the Queen. But today, production of a British design classic - the Landrover Defender - comes to an end. It was dreamed up in Anglesey after the war by the brothers Maurice and Spencer Wilks. The 麻豆社's Mike Young has been behind the scenes at Jaguar Landrover's factory in the West Midlands to mark the end of an era.
