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.
