In a blow to Indian techies, the new United Kingdom government has indicated plans to cut down on overseas hiring by technology and engineering companies.&nbsp;

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has asked the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to review the dependence by these sectors on skilled worker visas.

On Wednesday (Aug 7), Cooper wrote to the MAC Chair saying there is a need to understand why key occupations remain heavily dependent on international recruitment.&nbsp;

She was keen to cite information technology and telecommunications professionals as well as engineering professionals among sectors that have been top users of work visas.

"The Government values their skills and the vitality they bring to Britain…The system needs to be managed and controlled," Cooper said. "The current levels of international recruitment are not sustainable in the longer term and continue to indicate ongoing UK skills shortages," she added.

The UK home secretary also&nbsp;said that the government wants to bring down migration by implementing an approach that is linked towards policy on skills, leading to a fairer and more coherent approach towards the labour market.&nbsp;

"The system as it exists is not operating in the national interest. This Government will deliver a fair, coherent, more joined-up approach to the labour market by linking immigration with skills policy," she added.

However, recent Home Office statistics reveal a significant fall in visa applications from students and skilled workers. This comes&nbsp;months after&nbsp;the policy on family dependents&nbsp;tightened.&nbsp;

According to Home Office data, compared with the same period last year, the number of visa applications for main applicants and their dependents in key UK visa categories — skilled worker, health and care, and study — has dipped by a whopping 35 per cent, that is 187,900, between&nbsp;January to July 2024.&nbsp;

A spokesman from the UK Home Office said, "Immigration brings many benefits to the UK, but it must be controlled and delivered through a fair system."

The United States confirmed on Friday (Aug 9) it provided intelligence to Austria that helped foil an alleged Islamic State plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert.

"We work closely with partners all over the world to monitor and disrupt threats," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Friday.

“The US provided critical intelligence to Austrian authorities, enabling them to prevent a potential attack on Taylor Swift's concert,” he added.

Notably, three alleged Islamic State sympathisers have been arrested on charges of plotting a suicide attack at the megastar's concert in Vienna.

Earlier, two primary suspects, a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old, were detained, while a third suspect, an Iraqi national was arrested in Austria on Friday.

"The main perpetrator has confessed that he was supposed to carry out a suicide attack with two accomplices," said Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer.

The 19-year-old suspect made a full confession in custody about his allegiance to ISIS and plans to carry out a "bloodbath". Authorities also found machetes and technical devices at his home in the town of Ternitz in preparation for an attack.

They planned to cause as many casualties as possible among the estimated 20,000 fans of the American singer, often referred to as "Swifties", set to gather outside Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium, said national intelligence head Omar Haijawi-Pirchner.

His plan also reportedly involved driving a car into the crowd of 20,000 concert-goers and launching a brutal attack with machetes and knives.

Swift’s three concerts were cancelled in Austria after authorities said they foiled a terror attack planned for the Vienna leg of her blockbuster Eras tour.

City officials at Valinhos, near Vinhedo, said a home in the local condominium complex had been damaged after the plane crashed into its backyard. None of the residents were hurt.

Speaking at an event, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva asked for a minute of silence for the victims of the crash, adding that all on board were presumed dead.&nbsp;

The airline in a statement said it couldn't provide any reason for the crash.
