The government's proposed asylum law is "very concerning" and would block even those with a compelling claim, the United Nations refugee agency has said. The UNHCR's representative to the UK, Vicky Tennant, told the BBC the measure would break international law and was not needed to stop Channel crossings. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he is "up for the fight" to bring in the law and overcome any legal challenges. Labour has said the plans risk "making the chaos worse". On Tuesday, the government outlined a new law which would effectively ban anyone who arrives via an illegal route from claiming asylum in the UK. Anyone found to have entered the country illegally will also be blocked from returning or claiming British citizenship in future. The measure is part of attempts to address an increase in the number of people arriving in the UK via Channel crossings each year, which rose from around 300 in 2018 to more than 45,000 in 2022.

Tesla is planning to build a new factory in Mexico, joining other carmakers bulking up their presence south of the US border. Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the plant for the electric car firm would be in Monterrey, which is about a three-hour drive from Texas. Tesla is expected to share more in presentation to investors on Wednesday. Mexico had previously raised concerns about how water demands from the factory might affect the region. But Mr Lopez Obrador said he had won commitments from Tesla boss Elon Musk that had helped ease those worries. Mexico is trying to position itself as a winner as tensions between the US and China disrupt traditional supply chains. "This will represent a considerable investment and many, many jobs," Mr Lopez Obrador said at a news conference on Tuesday.

There has been an intensification of violence between Israel and the Palestinians since the start of this year, with deaths mounting on both sides. Here is a brief guide to what is going on. What is happening? The current violence is mainly taking place in the West Bank and East Jerusalem - areas occupied by Israel since the 1967 Middle East war. While the starting point is debatable, it began to escalate in March 2022. In a period of days, Israel was rocked by a series of deadly Palestinian attacks and the Israeli military launched an open-ended operation in the West Bank in response, resulting in near nightly raids into the occupied territories. How has it got worse? There have been many individual injuries and deaths resulting from Israeli military operations and Palestinian attacks over the past year, but what marks this period of violence out is both the scale of the loss of lives and the number of incidents in which multiple people have been killed.

Denmark's parliament has voted to abolish a springtime public holiday to boost spending on the military. Lawmakers voted 95-68 to scrap Great Prayer Day, a religious holiday observed since the 17th century. The cancellation will provide an additional three billion kroner (£355m; $427m) to be used on the defence budget, the government says. But there has been opposition from opposition politicians, trade unions and religious figures. At the start of the month, some 50,000 protesters gathered outside parliament in Copenhagen to protest the plan. "Stop the thief," Karsten Honge, a member of the Socialist People's Party, said during a parliamentary debate on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press. "The government is ordering people to work one day more."
