UK suspends refugee family reunions

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced the government will suspend family reunion for refugees, as part of an overhaul of the asylum system and Downing Street's attempt to "reset" at the start of a new parliamentary term. Also in the programme: the spiralling cost of transport for school pupils in England with special educational needs; and the Premier League’s eye-watering sums on the final day for player transfers.
