The UK government has announced measures to cut immigration which includes plans to raise the minimum salary required for foreign workers to be eligible for a work visa. We find out how this will affect the UK's workforce. We hear from a lawyer involved in the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy settlement before the US Supreme Court. He'll give us his view of what could happen if a $6 billion deal is overturned. And we look at how new environmental regulations in the EU will affect the fashion industry.
