Will government's ID scheme help stop small boat crossings?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The prime minister is to announce a new national scheme of compulsory digital ID for all adults, to crack down on illegal working. We'll debate whether the proposals can stop small boat crossings. Also on the programme: Sensitive data about children, and their parents, has been stolen by hackers targetting a chain of nurseries. How alarmed should we be? France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy becomes its first head of state to be handed a prison sentence in 80 years. And it's 200 years since Louis Braille invented his tactile rreading system for people with sight loss. We hear about his remarkable work that helps blind musicians.
