The UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has laid out the country's most significant asylum policy reforms in decades.
It comes amid mounting pressure to curb rising boat crossings of the English Channel.
Refugee status will become temporary, and the wait time for permanent residency will quadruple.
The changes are modelled on the Danish system and aim to make the journey less attractive to undocumented migrants.

Al Jazeera’s Rory Challands reports from Dover, in southern England.
