Govt: Asylum level high due to Ukrainian and Afghan refugees

The schools minister says there are "real reasons" why immigration levels remain high, including the "generous" intake of refugees from Ukraine, Hong Kong and Afghanistan, but that the government is "committed" to reducing the number of people coming into the UK.

Nick Gibb makes the comments as the UK's asylum backlog hits a new record high, with 80 percent of people waiting longer than six months for an initial decision.

In a troubling development, terrorists operating in Jammu and Kashmir have increasingly been wielding American-made M4 carbine assault rifles, a trend experts describe as alarming. These rifles, originally part of the US Army's arsenal, have allegedly made their way into the hands of militants through Pakistani handlers, following the American withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. #KathuaAttack #TerrorInJK #M4Carbine #USWeapons #SecurityThreat #Terrorism #JammuAndKashmir #AlarmingTrend #GlobalSecurity #CounterTerrorism #WeaponProliferation #ISIInvolvement #RegionalStability #DefenseExperts #UrgentAction
