Recent polls show next week's vote in the UK on whether to leave the European Union is set to be a close race. Several recent polls have put the 'leave' campaign ahead. One of the big issues that appears to be resonating with the public is immigration. The number of people from EU member states working and living in the UK, under freedom of movement rules, has been on the rise. The 'leave campaign' argues it's costing Britons jobs and needs to stop, but those in the 'stay campaign' say immigrants are helping fill skilled labour shortages and in turn, help the economy grow. Yvette McCullough reports on how immigration could be the tipping point in next Thursday's referendum.
