UK making it easy for EU members to stay

EU citizens will have to answer three simple questions if they want to remain in the UK after Brexit.

They'll only need to prove ID, declare criminal convictions, and confirm they live in the UK.

The British government says its default position will be to grant residency status to applications rather than decline them.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby it doesn't want workers leaving en masse.

"Very simple, very simple, very easy, we're not putting up barriers in the way of people staying, see how cooperative we are being, I think that they are trying to suggest that the EU is a little less cooperative."
