Update: US unveils restrictions on high-skill visas

President Trump's administration has announced a tightening of rules for H-1B visas

President Trump's administration has unveiled a tightening of rules for H-1B visas, which allow tens of thousands of high-skilled immigrants to work in the US. The President says this will protect US jobs but Michael Clemens, economist at the Centre for Global Development, says the evidence does not support this. Also in the programme, Emily Means, a reporter with KUER Public Radio in Utah, tells us what to expect at the debate in Salt Lake City between Vice President Pence and VP candidate Kamala Harris. Plus, we'll take a look at a rocky day on the US markets with Susan Schmidt of Aviva Investors in Chicago.
