:03:39. > :03:45.And from the International Space Station, a sense of how big an area
:03:46. > :03:49.the storm clouds cover. Knowing that the islands of Antigua and Barbuda
:03:50. > :03:54.would be amongst the first to be hit by the hurricane, people here
:03:55. > :03:58.started moving to safety yesterday. Here we are, this is market Street,
:03:59. > :04:03.usually a very, very busy street in St John's. Not busy today, it's a
:04:04. > :04:08.ghost town. While Antigua may not have been hit too badly, the
:04:09. > :04:12.situation in Barbuda is not known. The biggest cause for concern right
:04:13. > :04:16.now is we seem to have lost complete contact with our sister island of
:04:17. > :04:20.Barbuda. They are getting really the full force of this right now. I
:04:21. > :04:25.think they are currently in the eye and that should be coming to a close
:04:26. > :04:29.soon. And then they will get those 185 mile winds happening again
:04:30. > :04:35.shortly. So we will be very grateful when we hear and finally get news
:04:36. > :04:38.back from Barbuda. Hurricane Irma is steadily moving west. According to
:04:39. > :04:46.latest reports its already caused major damage. So now, even as far
:04:47. > :04:49.away as Florida, people are stuck in up with supplies. The hurricane is
:04:50. > :04:54.expected to make landfall here by the weekend. The storm is massive,
:04:55. > :04:58.and the storm surge predicted will go for miles and miles. It's
:04:59. > :05:03.incredibly important that all Floridians keep a close eye on this
:05:04. > :05:10.incredibly dangerous storm. Do not sit and wait to prepare. Get
:05:11. > :05:14.prepared now. And already, the US authorities have ordered everyone
:05:15. > :05:15.living in the very vulnerable area of Key West to leave. Richard

:05:20. > :05:27.is in the Cuban capital Havana. It certainly looks like the calm
:05:28. > :05:35.before the storm now, but is Cuba expected to field a full force of
:05:36. > :05:41.the hurricane? It's a calm and very quiet day in Havana but that belies
:05:42. > :05:46.the fact that Irma is on her way. Cubans, as people across the
:05:47. > :05:50.Caribbean, know that, and are taking steps to prepare for it. Here
:05:51. > :05:55.particularly people are focusing on getting enough clean drinking water,
:05:56. > :05:59.getting fuel for their homes, cars and obviously trying to batten down
:06:00. > :06:06.the hatches, literally, get hardware to board up their homes. There is a
:06:07. > :06:10.feeling that particularly here, the winds that would be so devastating
:06:11. > :06:15.elsewhere in the Caribbean, it might be worse in terms of rain here. Vast
:06:16. > :06:19.amounts of rainfall in a short space of time, and that will cause those
:06:20. > :06:25.storm surges everyone is so worried about. As you see, Havana is a
:06:26. > :06:29.coastal city. If those storm surges come rushing onto the streets, it
:06:30. > :06:35.will make flooding extremely widespread, not just here in the
:06:36. > :06:37.capital but across the island. The government are taking steps, trying
:06:38. > :06:40.to make people aware of just how serious the storm is. They have a
:06:41. > :06:44.good track record of hurricane preparedness, but we will wait to
:06:45. > :06:47.see how devastating the storm is when it moves through the rest of
:06:48. > :06:50.the Caribbean and comes to Cuba here.
:06:51. > :06:52.Our weather presenter, Chris Fawkes is here -
:06:53. > :07:03.This is a brute of a storm. We have talked about it being a powerful
:07:04. > :07:08.hurricane, a category five, the top category. The second strongest
:07:09. > :07:14.hurricane on records, and those records go back a long time. Only
:07:15. > :07:23.Alan had sustained winds of stronger, 199 mph. Irma has a
:07:24. > :07:27.sustained wind of 185 mph. Irma made landfall right in the wrong place,
:07:28. > :07:32.Barbuda. This was the centre, the eye of the storm right over the top
:07:33. > :07:36.of Barbuda, so it went straight across the island. From there, just
:07:37. > :07:42.in the last hour or so we have seen secondary landfall as it worked
:07:43. > :07:47.across Saint Martin with Anguilla just to the north. The second most
:07:48. > :07:53.powerful hurricane in the series. What sort of damage can we expect
:07:54. > :07:56.from the storm? With wind gusting to around 225 mph, that will bring
:07:57. > :07:59.catastrophic damage in its own right. As well as that, there will
:08:00. > :08:04.be a storm surge near to the centre of the storm which in places could
:08:05. > :08:07.beat 11 feet high. I am six foot three, imagine two of me in a wall
:08:08. > :08:12.of water coming in from the seat and coupled with torrential rain. Where
:08:13. > :08:16.is the storm going next? It's going straight across Saint Martin and
:08:17. > :08:20.from there it moves to the British Virgin Islands. It will affect
:08:21. > :08:23.Puerto Rico with torrential rain. Perhaps the strongest winds just
:08:24. > :08:27.offshore but close enough to do damage. And then we are looking to
:08:28. > :08:31.Florida, that may well be hit as well as we move into the second half
:08:32. > :08:33.of the weekend, Sunday night into Monday. This storm still has a long
:08:34. > :08:34.way to run. The Prime Minister has told
:08:35. > :08:37.the Commons that people want to see She was speaking after a leaked
:08:38. > :08:41.draft Home Office document suggested that heavy restrictions should be
:08:42. > :08:44.placed on the number of low skilled workers coming to the UK,
:08:45. > :08:46.and that employers should be encouraged to hire
:08:47. > :08:48.British people first. But the Government's insisting it
:08:49. > :08:51.won't shut the door on EU migration. Our Home Affairs Correspondent
:08:52. > :09:04.Daniel Sandford reports. For many voters it was the key issue
:09:05. > :09:09.on which they made their choice in the Brexit referendum. What should
:09:10. > :09:13.Britain's immigration policy before EU citizens? Today a government
:09:14. > :09:18.document, lead to journalist from Guardian newspaper but I do some
:09:19. > :09:22.answers, the key issue being immigration should benefit not just
:09:23. > :09:27.migrants themselves, but also make existing residents better off. Those
:09:28. > :09:31.who have campaigned for years follow immigration are delighted. It's
:09:32. > :09:37.broadly on the right lines. It's to be welcomed. If implemented as
:09:38. > :09:41.proposed then we see a considerable, significant reduction in the sort of
:09:42. > :09:47.numbers coming from the EU, which is what people broadly voted for a year
:09:48. > :09:52.and a bit ago. The document is clearly a recent draft of the Home
:09:53. > :09:55.Office's long-awaited White Paper on immigration after Brexit. Officials
:09:56. > :09:59.here insist it's not the latest draft, it's very much a work in
:10:00. > :10:05.progress and the Cabinet is still arguing over it. That said, it's not
:10:06. > :10:10.back of the envelope stuff either, more than 80 pages of proposals. One
:10:11. > :10:13.of the key phrases in the draft says that where ever possible UK
:10:14. > :10:16.employers should look to meet their labour needs from resident labour.
:10:17. > :10:21.But businesses insist they are already doing that. They will do
:10:22. > :10:24.everything they can to employ British workers, it's just very
:10:25. > :10:29.difficult. Sometimes you have skills gaps you need to fill from outside
:10:30. > :10:34.the UK. That's just how it is. The draft proposes that any EU citizen
:10:35. > :10:38.already living here before a certain not yet specified date would be
:10:39. > :10:42.allowed to stay. And even after Brexit there would be a transition
:10:43. > :10:47.period of at least two years. But at that point, the key proposals
:10:48. > :10:54.suggest that free movement for EU citizens ends, they would need
:10:55. > :10:56.passports, not ID cards at the border, and two-year work permit
:10:57. > :11:02.would be available for EU citizens, although highly skilled workers
:11:03. > :11:04.could get longer permits. For the holiday and hospitality industry,
:11:05. > :11:09.like Butlins in Bognor Regis, the future could be a real challenge.
:11:10. > :11:12.30% of their workforce are EU citizens and they may find
:11:13. > :11:19.themselves applying for lots of work permits. I think nationally, you
:11:20. > :11:21.know, coastal resorts struggle to recruit, so recruiting from the
:11:22. > :11:28.European market is really important for us. Today's leaked document will
:11:29. > :11:29.only fuel the debate about Britain's future immigration policy. Daniel
:11:30. > :11:31.Sandford, BBC News. There's been a mixed
:11:32. > :11:33.reaction to the leaked draft In the Commons this afternoon,
:11:34. > :11:41.the Prime Minister told MPs that overall immigration has been good
:11:42. > :11:43.for the economy. But migration needs to be controlled
:11:44. > :11:46.to ease the impact on infrastructure and to protect those at the lowest
:11:47. > :11:49.end of the income scale. But businesses have been warning
:11:50. > :11:51.of the impact heavy restrictions Here's our political
:11:52. > :12:03.correspondent Ian Watson. When Britain leaves the European
:12:04. > :12:07.Union, the government wants to reassure businesses that the economy
:12:08. > :12:11.won't, as they put it, fall off a cliff edge. So there won't be
:12:12. > :12:15.massive changes to EU migration for at least a couple of years. But the
:12:16. > :12:19.leaked document points to a sea change in attitudes after that, with
:12:20. > :12:24.far more restrictions on unskilled workers. In the Commons today, the
:12:25. > :12:28.SNP asked the Prime Minister to restate the benefits, rather than
:12:29. > :12:33.the burdens, of immigration. Overall immigration has been good for the
:12:34. > :12:37.UK. But what people want to see is control of that immigration. That
:12:38. > :12:41.is, I think, what people wanted to see as a result of coming out of the
:12:42. > :12:46.European Union. We are already able to exercise controls in relation to
:12:47. > :12:49.those who come to this country from outside the countries within the
:12:50. > :12:52.European Union. And we continue to believe as a government that it's
:12:53. > :12:57.important to have net migration at sustainable levels. Theresa May
:12:58. > :13:01.knows the only way she can get net migration down to the tens of
:13:02. > :13:05.thousands is if she cuts EU immigration significantly. That
:13:06. > :13:09.said, non-EU migration is way above that level, even with tighter
:13:10. > :13:13.controls. So some leave campaigners are hoping the government will
:13:14. > :13:17.officially adopt some of the ideas in this document for further
:13:18. > :13:21.restrictions. People were fed up with people just coming in from the
:13:22. > :13:24.EU into this country, putting public services under pressure. That was
:13:25. > :13:29.the number one issue are people voted to leave, I would say. The
:13:30. > :13:34.covenant is acting on a promise to end free movement. The document is
:13:35. > :13:36.marked sensitive. But restrictions on immigration are far more
:13:37. > :13:43.sensitive in some parts of the country than others. This extreme,
:13:44. > :13:47.hard Brexit is a blueprint for strangling the London economy. Why
:13:48. > :13:50.do I say that? On a regular basis I speak to chief executives and
:13:51. > :13:56.employers, speak to businesses in London, and I know the positive
:13:57. > :14:01.impact EU workers make. This summer the Home Secretary commissioned
:14:02. > :14:04.research into the impact of immigration, so, some MPs say, she
:14:05. > :14:08.shouldn't be floating the idea of new restrictions until she sees the
:14:09. > :14:14.result. They really must wait for the evidence from the advisory
:14:15. > :14:16.committee about the overall impact and what the needs are in different
:14:17. > :14:21.sectors of the economy before they take decisions. The Cabinet is yet
:14:22. > :14:25.to finalise what restrictions it wants to see on immigration. But
:14:26. > :14:29.critics say it's important that skilled workers who might benefit
:14:30. > :14:31.the economy will still feel welcome. Iain Watson, BBC News.
:14:32. > :14:35.Let's speak to Norman Smith, who's at Westminster.
:14:36. > :14:40.This is a draft document but does it give us a good idea of how
:14:41. > :14:43.immigration will look in the future? It is just a draft document,
:14:44. > :14:47.apparently it has already been rewritten about half a dozen times.
:14:48. > :14:50.What's striking is that nobody around Theresa May is going out of
:14:51. > :14:55.their way to play down or dismissed the thrust of the thinking. In fact
:14:56. > :14:59.one source said to me, we are not going to apologise for trying to
:15:00. > :15:03.bring down immigration. And in the Commons as well, listen to Theresa
:15:04. > :15:09.May against dressing the way immigration can drive down the wages
:15:10. > :15:13.of the lowest paid in public services. So this document probably
:15:14. > :15:17.does reflect or chime with Mrs May's thinking. The difficulty is, there
:15:18. > :15:21.are others in the Conservative Party, including in the Cabinet, who
:15:22. > :15:25.are much more uneasy, particularly on the impact on business. Business
:15:26. > :15:29.saying that they're simple isn't the pool of British Labour out there to
:15:30. > :15:33.do all these jobs, and we have to recruit from abroad if we want to
:15:34. > :15:36.grow our companies. And that division is reflected in exactly the
:15:37. > :15:42.same way in the Labour Party. It means broadly we may have to wait
:15:43. > :15:45.some time before a post Brexit immigration regime is finalised.

:24:33. > :24:35.and diversity. It's a classic way of buying time before making difficult
:24:36. > :24:39.decisions, and the BBC faces difficult decisions on the issue of
:24:40. > :24:43.equal pay. If it raises the salary of those at the bottom, it could be
:24:44. > :24:49.accused of spending licence fee payers money. At the top, and it
:24:50. > :24:55.could face legal action. The announcement today says it is easy

:29:09. > :29:10.I still think to myself, please go in.
:29:11. > :29:13.Because if that had not nestled in the Newcastle net,

:29:29. > :29:31.I bought it for the warmth, because you could not buy
:29:32. > :29:36.It was only a jacket that you could get in the shops, so I started

:30:13. > :30:15.I also feel you've got to remember as well that it's only
:30:16. > :30:21.I mean, while people are listening to football matches
:30:22. > :30:23.or commentating on them, there are people going
:30:24. > :30:25.to the theatre, and the cinema, and reading books.
:30:26. > :30:28.I think one or two people tend to forget that.
