Key Findings:• About 11 million undocumented immigrants lived in the United States as of 2022—3.3 percent of the country’s overall population. An additional 2.3 million removable immigrants were released into the United States between January 2023 and April 2024 and would also be targeted in any mass deportation operation. In 2022, nearly 90 percent of undocumented immigrants were of working age, compared to 61.3 percent of the U.S.-born population aged between 16 and 64, making undocumented immigrants more likely to actively participate in the labor force. Losing these working-age undocumented immigrants would worsen the severe workforce challenges that many industries have already been struggling with in the past few years. • Among the deported would be 1 million undocumented immigrant entrepreneurs, who generated $27.1 billion in total business income in 2022.

Charles’s big scheme was to evict the Sussexes for Frogmore Cottage, and finding some way to force Andrew out of Royal Lodge and making him live in Frogmore. Andrew still isn’t giving up Royal Lodge, and now people close to Charles are admitting defeat. In fact, everyone saying that Andrew has “comprehensively humiliated” the king, and that “heads will roll” over this whole saga. Now the Mail’s Richard Eden has written a piece where he points out that Charles should be careful not to piss off Andrew, because Andrew will happily sell out everyone in the family. But instead of sticking together, the King is attacking his 64-year-old brother Andrew, who served bravely as a helicopter pilot in the Falklands War and worked as UK trade envoy.

TOI correspondent from London:The number of Indian students going to study at British universities has fallen by 20% amid a worrying drop in international students generally, which is posing a grave risk to the financial stability of the sector. The education sector relies heavily on the higher fees paid by international students.The recent UK riots and poor job prospects are among the reasons seen as responsible for the fall in Indian students.The Office for Students, the regulator of UK higher education, published a report on Friday which showed that students from India have seen the largest decrease, with Indian students falling from 139,914 in 2022-23 to 111,329 in 2023-24, a fall of 28,585 (20.4%).Nigerian students are down 25,897 (44.6%) to 32,192, and students from Bangladesh are down 5,202 (41.2%) to 7,425There has been an 11.8% decline in the total number of “Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies” granted to international students between 2034 and 2024 compared to the previous year.There were 16% fewer visa applications from international students between January 2024 and September 2024 compared to 2023.Increased employer national insurance contributions in the recent budget and below forecast recruitment of UK undergraduates are also creating a hole in university finances.The report estimates that by 2025-26 the annual income for UK universities will be down by £3.4 billion and the sector will see a deficit of £1.6 billion, resulting in 72% of universities facing a deficit and 40% having low liquidity. This is likely to lead to course and university closures, with those focused on postgraduate taught courses relying on international students being “of particular concern”, it said.Declining interest from India was due to master’s students not being allowed to bring partners, the economic conditions in the UK, and recent rioting stories, said Amit Tiwari, president of the Indian National Students Association UK. “Unless the UK govt address this, the outlook for UK universities is bleak as they rely heavily on Indian students,” he said.Indian students are looking at Germany, Ireland, the US, and the Middle East instead, said Sanam Arora, founder and chair of National Indian Students and Alumni Union UK. She blamed the “Conservative party ban on dependents, confusion around the post-study work visa , an increase in skilled worker salary thresholds and an apparent lack of jobs in the UK.” “For the first time, safety is also being raised as a concern,” she said.

‘The difficulty is that the very people who need help themselves are quite likely to delude themselves that they can help others.’ Photograph: AlamyThere is a lack of understanding of the role of voluntary registers in the regulation of those practising psychotherapy (MPs urge government to regulate UK psychotherapists and counsellors, 9 October). The UK Council for Psychotherapy’s registers of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors, accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), only include practitioners who meet our exacting standards, robust training requirements and abide by our ethical and professional code. For the small minority of clients who are not content with the service they receive from a registered practitioner, we have a clear and effective process for managing and investigating complaints. We will look into cases where there is evidence that calls into question a therapist’s suitability to be on our register. UKCP also accredits training bodies that adhere to our high standards of education and training.

Trump Makes History With Re-election And Controversial Promises The return of Donald Trump sparks debates over legal pardons, media bias, and American valuesDonald Trump has made history once again, reclaiming the presidency after four years, following the high-stakes 2024 election against Vice President Kamala Harris. Nationally, the numbers tell the story succinctly: Trump won 30 states, allowing him to secure 295 electoral votes, compared to Harris's 226.

This may be an example of the most controlling mother/daughter (and aunt) relationship I have ever witnessed. “I’m sorry all that good work was undone by you seeing the email exchange between your mother and aunt,” said Bond. You have every valid reason to send your mother back home and resume your own life as much as you are able. “What are the obstacles,” asked Bond, “that are stopping you getting on with your life?
