The Belarusian State Border Committee releases new video of a migrant camp near Polish border, as Warsaw says it has seen a surge in attempts to breach its border. Poland accuses Minsk of "state terrorism" by provoking a new migrant crisis in Europe, while Belarus blames the migrant crisis on the European Union and accuses the bloc of rejecting talks. IMAGES
Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni visits an under-construction asylum processing centre in Albania, set to be run by Italy, with her Albanian counterpart Edi Rama, days ahead of European elections. Under a controversial deal between Rome and Tirana, Albania has agreed to take in asylum seekers plucked from the seas off Italy, register them at a migrant centre on the Adriatic Sea and then house them at another centre inland while their claims are processed.

A makeshift migrant camp looks nearly empty in Mexico's Matamoros, at the border with Brownsville, Texas, where Democrat US President Joe Biden is expected to meet border patrol and other law enforcement agents. Also heading to the border is Republican former president Donald Trump, who will be about 300 miles (480 kilometers) to the west in Eagle Pass. The Texas showdown comes at a time when record numbers of migrant crossings into the United States are posing a threat to Biden's chances of preventing a Trump comeback in November's presidential election.

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
