BBC: France's parliament has passed a new bill that introduces tighter curbs on foreigners hoping to join relatives in France - including possible DNA tests.

Supporters say it will speed up the process for genuine applicants and cite similar laws in other European nations.
Critics have attacked the law as racist and questioned the use of genetics as a basis for being allowed into France. French parliament adopts DNA bill (more)
