Images of a wall being built at Turkey's border with Iran to prevent a new refugee flow, mainly from Afghanistan as the Taliban take over the country. For now, a 5km section of the 3 metre-high wall is under construction, and Turkey is aiming to build a 295km long wall on its Iranian border, beefed up by barbed wires and trenches. Turkey, which is already home to 3.7 million Syrians who fled the war, fears another influx of refugees from Afghanistan. IMAGES
Republican lawmakers pass an immigration package that would restart stalled construction of Donald Trump's southern border wall as the United States braces for a sudden increase in migrant crossings from Mexico.

Images released by Polish Police show the area along the border with Belarus close to the border town of Kuznica which has been entirely cleared of migrant encampments. Some 2,000 migrants who were living in freezing conditions at the border have been moved to a nearby warehouse. The West accuses Belarus of artificially creating the crisis by bringing in would-be migrants, mostly from the Middle East, and taking them to the border with promises of an easy crossing into the EU. Belarus has denied the claim, instead criticising the EU for not taking in the migrants. IMAGES
Images released by the Polish Defence Ministry appear to show migrants being detained in a large group by Polish service personnel. The Ministry has said: 'Tonight, an attempt inspired by Belarus was made to illegally cross the border in Dubicze Cerkiewne. A group of about 100 migrants was detained by the Polish services'. IMAGES
