Immigration minister: Net migration is far too high
Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick says net migration is “far too high” after newly published figures for 2022 showed around 606,000 more people are estimated to have moved to the UK than have left.
The Office for National Statistics said factors contributing to relatively high levels of immigration over the past 18 months include people coming to the UK from non-EU countries for work, study, and for humanitarian purposes, including those arriving from Ukraine and Hong Kong.

Hong Kong police have arrested an Indian man suspected of molesting a Korean visitor while she was live streaming for her solo travel blog in Central. The Police said the suspect was a 46-year-old man, and more information on the case would be provided later in the day. A viral 60-second online clip recorded during her live stream shows the woman’s ordeal began when she was approached by a man near a tram stop in Central on Sunday night. The visitor, in Hong Kong for the first time, attempted to get rid of him, but he kept on pestering her and placed his arm on her shoulder as she walked along. As they reached an entrance of Central MTR station, the man grabbed her arm and said in English: “Come with me.” “Please don’t hold my arm,” she pleaded in English, while trying to push him away. The live-streamer continued to resist the man’s advances, but the man in the video continued to follow her.

Residents in urban areas in Hong Kong woke to serious flooding and damage caused by torrential rain under the first black rainstorm warning in almost two years on Friday, with most reported landslides hitting Hong Kong Island. The torrential rain was brought by Haikui, a typhoon that made landfall in the Chinese province of Fujian on Tuesday. Although it weakened to a tropical depression, its slow-moving clouds have dumped huge volumes of precipitation on areas still soaked by rain from a super typhoon a week earlier. The weather bureau issued the highest "black" rainstorm warning and said more than 200mm of rainfall was recorded on Hong Kong's main island, Kowloon and the northeastern part of the city's New Territories since Thursday night.
