Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced a radical overhaul of the UK's immigration system, by copying a model that has been seemingly successful in Denmark.
That, of course, depends on how you define "successful". Although asylum claims are down, many feel the country's tough approach raises moral and legal questions.

Gareth Barlow is joined by Michelle Pace, a professor in global studies at the Department of Social Sciences and Business at Roskilde University in Denmark.
