The UK plans to stop hiring foreign care workers as it tries to lower migration numbers. British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said this change will start later this year. Care companies must hire UK workers or extend visas for foreign staff already working there. The government expects these changes to reduce migration by about 50,000 workers next year. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp wants even stricter limits on people coming to the UK.
Cooper said the government has no exact migration targets, but changing visa rules will help lower numbers. More details will come in a paper next week. Students from other countries can still stay to work after they finish school. Care companies need to prove they looked for British workers first...
Strive Masiyiwa and his wife, Tsitsi, started a $500 million fund to save moms and babies in Africa. Their Beginnings Fund aims to keep 300,000 people alive before 2030 with better healthcare.

Qualcomm might use Samsung chips again after years of picking TSMC instead. Reports say the San Diego company signed a deal with Samsung earlier this year for advanced products.
