What will US farmers do without immigrants?

Farming uses a higher number of undocumented workers than any other US industry, and that's sparking concern about what will happen if the Trump administration presses ahead with its immigration policies.

Brexit fears loom over EU doctors in the UK

The future of the National Health Service (NHS) is a major issue in the UK election, but so is the fate of EU nationals living in the country.

About five per cent of all public health workers are from other parts of the EU.

With no guarantees of their rights following the Brexit referendum, many European doctors and nurses are now considering leaving the country.

House Republicans are facing intense pressure from the White House to vote on the stalled Obamacare repeal bill this week, but party leaders still don’t know whether they have the votes to pass it.

A brief look at Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office

What change has Trump brought to Washington?

Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States with fewer votes than his opponent.

And his approval ratings after 100 days are lower than any previous president. Critics say it's been a chaotic and controversial start...but consistent with his electioneering.

He's failed to fulfil some campaign promises and had to change his mind on others. And he's surprised the world with direct U.S. intervention in the Syrian conflict and his warnings to North Korea.

He did say he wanted to shake up Washington, and by all accounts he has.

But where is he going to take the United States, and the rest of the world, over the next four years?
