BBC Europe – Bank of England believes Brexit could cost 75,000 finance jobs. The Bank of England believes that up to 75,000 jobs could be lost in financial services following Britain’s departure from the European Union. The BBC understands senior figures at the Bank are using the number as a “reasonable scenario”, particularly if there is no specific UK-EU financial services deal. The number could change depending on the UK’s post-Brexit trading deal. But the bank still expects substantial job losses.

It has become harder for the disabled to gain a Danish citizenship
In 2014, the Danish Parliament’s Citizenship Committee gave dispensation in 97% of the cases, where applicants could refer to a long-term disability as the explanation for them not being able to complete the tests for citizenship. In 2017, this number has dropped to 4%. This suggests that the handicap convention is not being followed, estimates Eva Ersbøll from the Institute of Human Rights |
