Sweeping changes to the asylum system

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has set out what she's called her "moral mission" to heal divisions in the UK by overhauling immigration rules. Her plans include fast-tracking deportations, and making people who have been granted asylum wait longer before they can settle permanently. The Conservatives and Reform UK have said they are a step in the right direction; some Labour backbenchers have condemned the proposals as "dystopian" and "cruel".

Also: a death sentence for Bangladesh's exiled former prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, who has called the verdict "politically motivated".

And a new rugby union tournament has been launched which will pit the best of the northern and southern hemisphere nations against each other.
