The UK government is changing its approach to housing asylum seekers, planning to relocate thousands from costly hotels to council-managed properties. Local councils will work with the Home Office to secure or renovate homes for this purpose, as the number of asylum seekers in hotels has grown to around 32,000.

Strict measures will be enforced to facilitate these relocations, which may include eviction for non-compliance. However, community opposition to proposed accommodation sites poses challenges.

In a different narrative, Qiu Sheng, a filmmaker from Hangzhou, transitioned from medical engineering to film. His latest work, "My Father's Son," is a reflection of his personal loss, focused on the father-son relationship, influenced by his own experiences of grief and the search for artistic connection after his father's death.
