#UK - Is Brexit driven by the fear of migrants? - Al Jazeera English

Published on 20 Jun 2016
This week Britons will vote on whether to remain in the European Union or to "Brexit".

Many say that fear of immigration has been at the heart of what has been a vicious campaign, with supporters and opponents of Brexit accusing each other of lies, smears and even racism.

Those campaigning to leave the EU see its relaxed immigration laws as a threat and argue that the European Parliament has crippled the UK's political independence. The "Remain" campaign on the other hand says that immigration has a positive effect on the economy because migrants pay more in taxes than they take out. Both sides also put forward strong political and economic arguments to support their positions.

So, would the UK be better off sealing its borders or staying in the EU? In this special debate, recorded before the killing of British MP Jo Cox, Daniel Hannan, a Conservative Party member, Member of the European Parliament, and author of Why Vote Leave, debates with Denis MacShane, a former UK MP for Labour, who served as Europe Minister under Tony Blair and is author of Let's Stay Together.

Akers’ HIT diagnostic key to short term growth, says finnCap - ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 17 Jun 2016
House broker finnCap has reintroduced estimates for Akers Biosciences Inc (LON:AKR) and is predicting a steep uplift in sales.

The broker unveiled a forecast of US$5.6mln in revenues for 2016, up from US$2.1mln in 2015, with 88% growth in the flagship PIFA Heparin/PF4 rapid assay products.

Mark Brewer, analyst at broker finnCap says, the medical diagnostic maker, has the potential for stronger growth in the second half of the year “through the launch of new products”.

“The core and the key to driving growth in the short term is how well they do with the heparin-induced thrombocytopenia diagnostic” he adds.

Brewer’s note inspired a 10% rise in Aker’s shares. The stock has gained 73% since the start of 2016.
