UK asylum seekers boarding a barge

Asylum seekers have started boarding the Bibby Stockholm barge in southern England.

The UK government says the barge will be better value for British taxpayers than hotels, which cost £6m a day. There's been considerable local opposition, with fears about the asylum seekers' welfare and the impact on local services. We hear more from our reporter.

After the Barbie film hit record sales at the global box office, we look the impact of the movie on the fashion world.

We speak to an American mother who was suspected of trafficking her biracial daughters and filed a lawsuit against an airliner.

We talk about a Mexican student who has been found dead in a canal in Berlin, two weeks after she went missing.
