May's tax on skilled migrants faces opposition

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Theresa May's manifesto promises to reduce immigration. But are her plans compatible with the pledge to make Britain a "magnet for international talent"? We hear from a senior figure from the visual effects industry Neil Hatton, and former Conservative party leader Iain Duncan Smith. Also as social care dominates today's election coverage we report from Christchurch: the constituency with more older people than anywhere else in the country. Also: can Brazil's President fight off calls for his impeachment? Picture: Theresa May Credit: Dan Kitwood/Getty Images.
