Let's keep the brightest and best. for the news where you are. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
Out campaigner Sir James Dyson wants a special deal to tempt | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
foreign students to stay after their studies. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Thank you for letting me see my children grow up - | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
from the lorry driver who was brought back to life. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
It's emotional, you know, and I can't thank her enough | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
for what she actually done, you know, giving me a second chance. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
If and spring has certainly arrived but we do have some wet weather in | :00:31. | :00:42. | |
the forecast. I will tell you when you are likely to see it | :00:43. | :01:05. | |
Sir James Dyson has asked the Government to exclude overseas | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
students from the official immigration figures, | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
to encourage more to stay here when they finish their studies. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
His comments came on the day the Wiltshire based manufacturing | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Sir James - who backed Brexit - says more needs to be done to keep | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
the brightest and the best working in the UK. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Here's our political editor Paul Barltrop. | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
All looks good at company headquarters in Malmesbury. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Rising sales have pushed profits up sharply. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Sir James Dyson backs Brexit, and thinks it | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
But he is anxious that overseas student numbers don't fall. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
I think it is most important that students who come here, | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
particularly to study science and engineering, know that | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
when they have booked the course and paid for the course, | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
that they can stay afterwards and contribute to British society. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
If we can keep those, we'd be much richer and better off as a nation. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
He's echoing concerns raised by universities like Bristol. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
These are some of its 1,000 EU students. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
I know for my parents it was a big investment in money. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
It is quite a big investment but so far it is worth it. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
The problem for the Government is that all overseas students that | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
come to places like Bristol are officially immigrants. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
And with ministers aiming to dramatically cut net migration | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
over the next few years, there are fears that our | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
They are huge contributors to the finances of universities | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
because they pay their ?9,000 in fees just as UK students do. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
But of course the money that they spend on taxis, | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
rent, food, restaurants within the community, | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
they are huge contributors to the economy of Bristol | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
The Government are trying to sound reassuring. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
This Government welcomes strongly the contribution EU | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
and international students make to our higher education | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
There is no plan to introduce a cap on a number of | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
But ministers haven't yet decided whether to exempt students | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
Some of the west's best-known businesses and universities will be | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Paul Barltrop, BBC Points West, Bristol. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Although there was a general decline | :03:09. | :03:09. | |
in university applications last year, | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
official figures have shown the number of students | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
applying to study in the UK fell by 41,000 | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
The number of non-EU students wanting to study | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
Earlier, I asked Verity O'Keefe, from the organisation | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
that represents manufacturers, if she echoed Mr Dyson's concerns. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
So in the engineering sector, we face a massive, | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
We need around 265,000 skilled entrants every year | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
between now and 2024, yet so many of the employers | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
we speak to say they are struggling to attract the right skilled people | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
they need, firstly because the applicants lacked the right | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
technical skills and secondly, industry experience and thirdly, | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
But increasingly, what we are seeing is employers saying they are not | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
getting enough candidates applying for their roles. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
So any restrictions that were placed on students really shrinks | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
the talent pool available to employers, when actually, | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
we really want to be expanding talent pool. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
So from an employer's perspective, what needs to happen? | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Well, firstly, we need to make sure that, post-Brexit, | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
that we really treat students, to make sure they are | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
What we absolutely would not want to see is the Government | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
replicate the system that we have for non-EU students to EU students. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
So at the moment, while we allow non-EU students to come and study | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
at our universities, it is really difficult for them | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
They've pretty much got a three to four month window to secure | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
employment and to get the visas that they need to stay in the UK. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
We'd also really chime and echo Mr Dyson's comments | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
about removing students from the net migration figures. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
We've always called for this for non-EU students and, again, | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
I think in a post-Brexit world, we would like to see EU students | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
It's very well-known that the industry of engineering | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
and so on, sciences and maths so on, need for students and need more | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
input, but the trouble is, post Brexit, they are going to be | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
lots of different groups saying, "Can you exempt us?" | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
For example, the construction industry, the catering | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
So how is this really going to work in this post-Brexit world? | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
I think we really need to look at where the skills shortages are. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
So when we look at the non-EU, we have a shortage occupation list | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
and that actually just lists all of the job roles that really | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
hard to fill and over a third of those are in engineering | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
and I really think that that speaks volumes. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
So, again, we want to look at the post Brexit, | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
And we do find them in engineering and we need to make sure actually, | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
employers can recruit from the global talent pool, | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
otherwise this skills ticking time bomb will surely explode. | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
And is it a time bomb that can't be filled | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Employers are already investing in their domestic workforce. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Over 70% of our members offer apprenticeships, | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
66% are recruiting engineering UK graduates, but unfortunately that's | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
not enough and I refer to those figures earlier, | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
we need over 265,000 skilled people into the engineering sector every | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
we don't even scratch the surface those numbers. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
we don't even scratch the surface on those numbers. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
OK, Verity O'Keefe, thank you very much for joining us. | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
The inquest into the death of a man in supported accommodation | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Robert Cox died in 2013 after being stabbed at flats for people | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Derek Hancock pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
After today's legal argument, the jury is expected | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
A company which runs rail services across parts of the west has been | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
stripped of its franchise by the Government. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
The South Western franchise is currently operated | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
The service will be taken over, in August, by a joint | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
venture between First Group and the Chinese company MTR. | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
New footage has been released following a fire | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
The pictures appear to show people approaching the farm | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
in Lawrence Weston carrying boxes, moments before the flames take hold. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
It's caused thousands of pounds' damage but no animals were hurt. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
A lorry driver from Bristol has been reunited with the woman | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
who saved his life, after he had a cardiac arrest. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Stuart James has been back to Cirencester to thank the woman | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Without you, I wouldn't be here today. | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
Holding hands with the woman who saved his life, lorry driver | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
and father-of-two young children Stuart James is back | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
Stuart was delivering a sofa with his colleague Craig | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
when he collapsed on the pavement and had a cardiac arrest. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
I looked round and thought, he's gone. | :08:14. | :08:14. | |
That's when I noticed Stuart on the floor. | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
And he wasn't breathing, he was purple, not responsive. | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
At that moment, an eye witness ran into the dog groomers opposite, | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
knowing that Dawn who worked there had been in the Army. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Dawn came straight outside to help Stuart and at that point, | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
I made sure his airway was clear, checked his pulse, | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
I started two rescue breaths, then the chest compressions. | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
Dawn's quick actions kept the blood pumping around Stuart's body, | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
Stuart was airlifted to the Great Western Hospital in Swindon. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
When he woke up a few hours later, he had no idea what had happened. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
I just thought I might have passed out and banged my head. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
I realised I had a massive lump on my head. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Then to be told I'd died and been brought back, | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
it's quite mindblowing, to be honest. | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Knowing I can still see my kids grow up. | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
Dawn is now raising money for a defribrillator to be placed | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
outside her dog grooming shop so that others can be saved | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
a nice note to finish on on a Monday evening. That is it from the, | :09:31. | :09:45. | |
however, I have a picture of spring with me to bring the forecast, it is | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
Sara. Spring can sometimes bring spring | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
showers and I have to put some on the globe to start the forecast. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Something a little bit more unsettled heading our way, little | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
occlusion sneaking into the south-western we lose the benefits | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
of higher fresher. I think we are drive generally through the | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Leicester tonight, clear skies and light winds, not just as cool as I | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
just gone, around five or 6 degrees, but you probably noticed that | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
and then they skirt off -- there are Arsenal | :10:31. | :10:31. | |
and then they skirt off -- there are some showers. Gloucester and Bristol | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
in the firing line that it could stay dry towards Somerset. Top | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
temperature in the best of the weather, there will be some | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
sunshine, 15 Celsius and then it becomes ever more unsettled as we go | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
through the middle part of the week, low pressure taking control but then | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
there will be some really mild weather with us, so, yes, if you | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
have got outdoor plans, stay across the forecast because it was turned | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
unsettled. But it will be mild, I will | :11:00. | :10:59. | |
showery on Saturday, dry and brighter on Sunday and if we go back | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
to the temperatures in the next couple days, you see those highs on | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Thursday. He is John Hammond with the national | :11:06. | :11:18. | |
this cyclone Debbie crashes onto the Queensland coast with violent winds | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
and flooding rains, that will head southwards in the next few days in | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
the direction of Brisbane. We will keep an eye on Debbie. Meanwhile | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
back home, much more tranquil. This beautiful sunset taken from | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Stevenage and Hertfordshire earlier this evening. | :11:38. | :11:39. |
