thomas cook is removing all its customers from a hotel in egypt after the unexplained death of a british couple. john cooper and his wife susan from burnley in lancashire, died at the hotel steigenberger aqua magic in the red sea resort of hurghada. the circumstances of their deaths are unknown. let's get more from danjohnson. we were originally told that he had died ofa we were originally told that he had died of a heart attack and she had died of a heart attack and she had died effectively of a broken heart and then carbon monoxide poisoning came into the picture, it's quite confusing, isn't it? what is the latest? it certainly is. what we know is thatjohn cooper fell ill at this hotel and was taken to hospital and died there. it has been reported that he suffered a heart attack although some friends have speculated to the press that they suspected something like carbon monoxide poisoning. his wife susan died some three hours after him, there is no confirmation of what led

to their deaths. but there is certainly an investigation ongoing and that is why thomas cook says as and that is why thomas cook says as a precaution it is going to move people from this hotel, at least give them the option of switching hotels within hurghada or coming home if they prefer. and it is taking every step to support the family because susan cooper was one of their own employees, she worked ina of their own employees, she worked in a thomas cook travel branch in burnley and she is described as a loyal, long serving member of staff. that branch is closed today. 300 guests will have the option of flying home or switching hotels. guests will have the option of flying home or switching hotelsm must be quite worrying time for the other guests will not being clear about what exactly has happened? yes, i'm sure everyone will want to get a nswe rs yes, i'm sure everyone will want to get answers as quickly as possible and there is an investigation ongoing. thomas cook says it wants to get to the bottom of this. says that when it it respected the hotel last month it did very well, with a 96% score. but thomas cook says safety has to be the priority and

because of what has happened, it wa nted because of what has happened, it wanted to give people the option of returning home or switching hotels. everybody who is booked there over the next month will have the option of changing if they want to. thank you very much, if dan. we'll be live in hurghada shortly. but first, ben brown is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. the former first minister of scotland alex salmond has denied sexual misconduct allegations made against him. the daily record newspaper says the claims date back to 2013, when he was still in office. here's our political correspondent glenn campbell. in a statement, alex salmond says two people had made allegations against him. the newspaper the daily record says the complaints were of a sexual nature and dated back to 2013 when he was first minister. mr salmond said he refutes all the allegations and says that some were patently ridiculous. he said that they were being dealt with under what he called an unjust procedure put in place

from the scottish government after he left office. he said he was not allowed to properly challenge the case against him. mr salmond, who twice led the snp, is seeking a judicial review of the complaints process in the court of session. the scottish government said it would defend its position vigorously. australia is to have a new prime minister, after malcolm turnbull was forced out by his party rivals. scott morrison, the current treasurer in the government led by the liberal party, won a leadership contest held this morning. mr turnbull, who did not stand in the vote, said he was proud of his record and blamed "insurgent" mps for bringing him down. we can get the latest from our syd ney we can get the latest from our sydney correspondent phil mercer. a sixth prime ministerfor sydney correspondent phil mercer. a sixth prime minister for australia injusta sixth prime minister for australia in just a decade? yes, sixth prime minister for australia injust a decade? yes, and he is just about to be sworn into office, to become the 30th prime minister of australia. there will be many voters

in this country who wonder when the 3ist in this country who wonder when the 3ist will come along, given that we have to have an election here in australia by me. you're absolutely right, at the top of australian politics, it's been a bit of a revolving door in recent years. prime ministers in this country have it seems an inability to stay the course and you have to go back more than ten years to find apm who managed to last the three year term, that wasjohn managed to last the three year term, that was john howard. managed to last the three year term, that wasjohn howard. malcolm turnbull says that australians will be dumbstruck and so appalled by the infighting displayed by his party collea g u es infighting displayed by his party colleagues in canberra this week just in his press conference, scott morrison, the new man in charge, if wa nts to morrison, the new man in charge, if wants to present himself as the new man and his task is to unite and heal a disunited party that has been thrown into chaos in time for the next election. the chancellor, philip hammond, has been accused of launching a "dodgy project fear" by brexit—backing conservatives.

this after he warned that a no—deal brexit would cause major economic damage. mr hammond's comments came just hours after the brexit secretary dominic raab played down the likelihood of the uk leaving the eu without a deal. mr raab insisted an agreement is the most likely option, but says it's important "practical" preparations are made. ajewish labour mp says she feels "unwelcome" in the party after a video emerged showing jeremy corbyn accusing british zionists of having "no sense of english irony". liverpool wavertree mp luciana berger described the labour leader's comments as "inexcusable". the clip of the labour leader's speech from 2013 was published on the daily mail website, as mr corbyn makes efforts to tackle anti—semitism in his party. a spokesperson for mr corbyn denied the comments were offensive. there is no safe limit to alcohol consumption and health officials should consider recommending that people go teetotal, that's the findings of a major global study. the research was led

by the university of washington and published in the lancet medicaljournal. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. just how much alcohol is it safe to drink? different studies offering apparently contradictory results can be confusing, as is the level of risk posed by drinking even a moderate amount of alcohol. now new research says there is no safe level of alcohol consumption. the global study looked at drinking habits over 26 years in 195 countries. around the world, one in three people are thought to drink alcohol. alcohol use is linked to nearly a tenth of all deaths in those aged 15 to 49. this leaves the authors to conclude that any health benefits of drinking this leads the authors to conclude that any health benefits of drinking are outweighed by the risks. in the uk, the advice is to limit consumption to 1a units a week, around six pints of lager or seven glasses of wine. health experts say for most people,

sticking to this level of consumption presents a very low risk and in the end, this is what the debate around alcohol consumption comes down to, the level of risk we're each willing to live with. dominic hughes, bbc news. four men have beenjailed for attempting to smuggle cocaine into the uk with a street value of more than £41 million. the group, posing as businessmen, flew on a private jet from colombia to farnborough airport, where they were stopped by border force officials injanuary. 0fficers seized 15 suitcases found to contain half a tonne of the class a drug. the men were sentenced to between 20 and 2a years in prison. pope francis will arrive in dublin tomorrow for the start of a two—day visit to the republic of ireland. he's expected to draw significantly smaller crowds than the last papal trip to the country byjohn paul ii in1979. the irish prime minister, leo varadkar says pope francis i think in the past the catholic church had too

much of a dominant place in irish society. i think it still has a place in irish society. but not one that determines public policy or determines our laws. it can certainly express views and contribute to the debate as all organisations do. but not in a way that determines public policy. strong winds and torrential rains from hurricane lane have caused flash floods and landslides across hawaii. although it has now been downgraded to a category three tropical storm authorities there still warn of serious disruption for several days. emergency shelters have opened and schools, businesses and government offices are closed. lebo diseko has more. hurricane lane is yet to hit these islands, but the rain and winds already have. 0ne section of the big island had nearly half a metre of rain in just 2a hours as the category three cyclone gets nearer.

even if it doesn't make landfall, it still brings a storm that authorities say could be life—threatening. we're extremely concerned about the potentials for inland flooding, landslides occurring and damage to the transportation, communications infrastructure. residents have been battening down the hatches. the governor has warned them to prepare for the worst. he says they should take the threat seriously and put aside at least two weeks' worth of food, water and medicines. there were long queues as people rushed to get their last few supplies. some supermarkets say their shelves were stripped bare. elsewhere, frantic efforts to try and defend these islands from the sea. a storm surge is expected to bring huge breaking waves, raising water levels more than a metre above normal tide levels. this is the latest natural disaster to hit hawaii in recent months, and there are fears about what it might mean. we're dealing with an erupting

volcano, on the big island, for the last few months and also flooding on one of the other islands, on kauai. so itjust seems like it's one catastrophe after another, but hopefully this is not going to be a catastrophe. these pictures from nasa show the hurricane south of hawaii just a couple of days ago. only two hurricanes have made landfall in hawaii since the 1950s. if lane's centre crosses land here, it would make it only the third. president trump has declared a state of emergency, which means federal authorities will help state and local responses. in the meantime, people here are bracing themselves for some tough days ahead, with the hurricane expected to hit some time on friday. lebo diseko, bbc news. itv says declan donnelly will have a new co—host for this year's series of i'm a celebrity, get me out of here. the announcement comes amid speculation the presenter may

have fronted the show by himself following his co—host, ant mcpartlin, being given time off following a recent drink—driving conviction. the 2016 winner, scarlett moffatt, remains the bookmakers‘ favourite to take up the role. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. do get in touch with us throughout the morning, and let us know what you think about that major new studyjohn lowe which says that there is no safe level of drinking. use the hashtag #victorialive and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. let's get some sport now with katherine at the bbc sport centre. and we're going to talk about rugby union and another ban for chris ashton... yes, a seven—week bandini least he could have been given for this tip, was six weeks. so the disciplinary

panel obviously decided that he merited seven weeks, not six. a tip tackle basically where you left somebody up by the feet and then dump them down onto their head and neck so it could cause serious injury. so the latest ban one of the bad boys of english rugby. he has already served bans for biting and eye gouging in the past. it could seriously dent his chances of getting into the england squad for the autumn internationals. he is eligible for selection again since moving back to english rugby from toulon. he had been named in a training squad for the first time in two years but with this ban he will have only one match to prove himself before coach jones have only one match to prove himself before coachjones names his squad for the autumn internationals. and you would have thought he would have been part of eddiejones has no plans for the autumn series given that ashton has broken try scoring

records for toulon last season. this is what former england international jerry guscott had to say about what could be a missed opportunity for chris ashton. to score all the tries he did, to be the top try scorer in top 14 rugby, was just he did, to be the top try scorer in top 14 rugby, wasjust a sensational. just imagine if he started in a couple of weeks and ke pt started in a couple of weeks and kept on scoring tries, you cannot ignore form and that is what he is not going to be able to show running his record, he's caused tries. the guy has a nose for the line, from 90 yards, from nine yards. coming out of the contract with toulon early especially to have a begin packed in the premiership, he isjust delaying his opportunity. he will be kicking himself, yes. so, just one game he will have to prove himself if he wa nts to will have to prove himself if he wants to be selected for england. and not the only issue that eddie jones has had to deal with? yes, you have got to remember that eddie jones has been tasked with england striker win the world cup injapan

next year but his best to players seem to be getting themselves in trouble. danny cipriani won't actually face further punishment from the rfu after he was arrested outside ajersey from the rfu after he was arrested outside a jersey nightclub recently. so, he will have a chance to impress eddiejones because so, he will have a chance to impress eddie jones because he so, he will have a chance to impress eddiejones because he made his debut for gloucester in the premiership last night so he is on the pitch and he will be able to sta ke the pitch and he will be able to stake his claim for a place in that england squad. butjones had warned him during the tour to south africa, when he was recalled for england, that if he misbehaved he would be straight on a flight home. so, the bad behaviour of these two is another headache for eddiejones. england came fifth in the six nations, they lost the series in south africa, they lacked discipline and they missed chances. with these two internationals carrying on in the same vein, there is still that airof the same vein, there is still that air of disarray around the international squad. so, can air of disarray around the internationalsquad. so, can eddie jones lift them into shape before

the world cup injune next year? let's get more on our top story and thomas cook is removing all its customers from a hotel in egypt after the unexplained death of a british couple. john cooper and his wife susan from burnley in lancashire, died at the hotel steigenberger aqua magic in the red sea resort of hurghada. the circumstances of their deaths are unknown although egyptian authorities have said that there was no criminal suspicion behind the deaths of the two british tourists adding that they died of natural causes. let's speak to janette rawlingson, she's staying at the resort with her family and they have chosen to fly home this evening. and we can also hear from travel expert simon calder, who is at manchester airport, where some of the hotel guests will be returning today. thank you both forjoining us, janette rawlingson first of all, tell us what you've been told? in fa ct i tell us what you've been told? in fact i think our line is frozen so we will go back to janette

rawlingson. simon, it is quite a confusing situation because it all seems very mysterious with no clear indication on exactly what has happened here? no, what a terrible, terrible tragedy it is, this very well— known and well loved couple from burnley in lancashire, on holiday i understand with their daughter and their grandchildren. and on tuesday in an awful sequence of events it appears to have been the case that mr cooper fell ill and was rushed to hospital and very sadly died and then some hours later his wife also died. and we are still a long way from knowing what may have caused it. and there is some speculation which i mustjust mention from social media that carbon monoxide poisoning was involved. of course we will remember

the case from 2006 of christianity shepherd, who very sadly died in a bungalow in corfu. my understanding is that carbon monoxide poisoning is not being considered as a possible cause here. —— christie and bobby shepherd. but there is the possibility that there is some very serious illness which is affecting the hotel which is why it has taken the hotel which is why it has taken the extremely unusual step, thomas cook, of moving 301 customers out and giving them the option to fly back to britain, a special aircraft, larger than usual, is being laid on here at manchester airport, leaving at two o'clock this afternoon and it will get back here in the early hours of tomorrow morning, if people choose to come back. you say it is an extremely unusual step for a hotel to be evacuated in this way — is there a standard protocol, is this what you would expect on a very rare occasion like this? yes. i've

not seen any circumstances like this before. and i'm not aware that there has been a case of a hotel which has been... where one company has said, we're getting everybody out. it is worth pointing out that the steigenberger aqua magic hotel is still taking bookings, you can go online and book a room for tonight. so, clearly the hotel doesn't believe that it has a serious problem. but thomas cook most certainly does. and to give you some more background on the hotel, the steigenberger aqua magic is a very well risk did german hotel in a chain which has lots of hotels right across egypt. i have not stayed in this particular one but in another one and it was a very good hotel and of course they will be doing everything they can to try to identify what may have happened in this tragic case. it makes it even more curious, effectively the brits are being evacuated but how many other guests will be staying there?

well, it is only thomas cook guests who are being moved out and thomas cook is moving out notjust its british guests but also german and other nationalities as well. they say health and safety is their priority and they don't want to take any chances, and they're moving people to other hotels in the resort. they also say people who are booked to travel and stay at this hotel over the next four weeks, if you don't want to go, then we will allow you to switch to a different hotel. if you're booked for another hotel, then there is no option to change that but if you are booked for travelling from the end of september onwards, again, no option to change. but it is very early days in this very sad situation. as you said, thomas cook is taking no chances here — what is the responsibility of a tour operator to its guests? well, it is a complete responsibility of care. it is one

reason why i always recommend people go for proper package holidays with companies such as thomas cook, because they conduct a really thorough audit, everything from the markings in this woman pulled to the summing poulter that preacher in the fridges in the kitchens. and thomas cook says that they conducted one a month ago in this particular property and it passed with 96%, which is a very good score. these companies really do everything they can to guarantee health and safety, quite rightly, in a way that if you perhaps book the hotel separately and arrange your own flights, you do not get that guarantee of care. but clearly it is not completely infallible and something very, very bad has gone wrong in this case. simon, several talk to one of the guests now at the hotel, janette rawlingson. tell us what you've been told? we've been told that they

don't know what has happened to the guests at all. we're very worried about eating or drinking in the hotel. i have had an upset stomach overnight. 0nly because of my persistence they went out to a local supermarket to get my two children some food because i did not want then eating in the restaurant because basically we don't know what's happened at all. as you indicate, a worrying situation for you and anyone else who is staying there, what is everybody saying about it? everybody is really worried and as the anxiety raises, people talk to each other and they're looking for answers from thomas cook, which is really disappointing. we flew out on tuesday, which is the day that these poor people passed away and i must say i'm really sorry about what happened but i think we should be given the option whether to come or not to come and we were not and now we have chosen to go home. i have got two small children, one already has a peanut allergy so we are very

careful about his food. but the a nswe rs careful about his food. but the answers from the hotel and four thomas cook are not very good at all, iam thomas cook are not very good at all, i am so disappointed with them. we've worked incredibly hard, we've saved hard for a summer holiday with the family, we've had the children four weeks waiting for a family holiday and this is what's happened. thomas cook have said to guests that they can either go to another hotel in egypt or go home — did you not wa nt to in egypt or go home — did you not want to stay in egypt and go elsewhere? we did think about it, because this is our family holiday. but we've been to this hotel before, we came here three years ago, we booked it specifically because we know the facilities it has, the rooms it has, where the children can be in rooms it has, where the children can beina rooms it has, where the children can be in a separate room through an interconnecting door and the grown—ups can have a private time in the evening to read or have a drink or something while the children sleep. and so, to go to another hotel where they did not tell us what room we could have, what

facilities the hotel had or anything else, and to give us £250 per person to compensate for that, is not good enough. with rather have a full refu nd enough. with rather have a full refund and start again and have another holiday but we won't book it through thomas cook. will you be able to have another holiday before the kids go back to school? because presumably this was your main summer holiday? we are going to fly to manchester, our car is at gatwick, we've been told there will be somebody taking us down to gatwick but i would imagine that will be in the middle of the night without children. so unless they can get as a holiday from gatwick, we have got to go back to work and school. maillot son is moving from primary school to senior school so we won't be able to fit it in on this holiday. simon, what rights does janette rawlingson have in that situation, because obviously she has been offered an alternative and some level of compensation by thomas cook but the reality is there holiday will be over and they will not be

able to take another one? well, it's slightly early to say on this specific point, in jungle, slightly early to say on this specific point, injungle, if you cannot continue your holiday or indeed you're given the option not to continue your holiday, then you should get a proportionate refund. as janette says it's going to be very difficult to find any kind of holiday to replace this one and of course it is going to come back into the bank holiday weekend and everything in the uk is going to be largely booked up, too, so it's a very difficult situation. also another very bad issue for egyptian tourism which of course has had a terrible, terrible few years. the uk government has still got sharm el—sheikh airport off—limits and thatis el—sheikh airport off—limits and that is why hurghada has become the leading grade c egyptian resort but the egyptian tourist authorities

will be very concerned that this is perhaps another reason for people not to travel to egypt. —— red sea resort. egypt, a country which is absolutely dependent on tourism. thomas cook have sent us the following statement. "we are deeply saddened by the tragic deaths of two of our customers that were staying in the steigenberger aqua magic hotel in hurghada, egypt. the circumstances of their deaths are still unclear. we have also received further reports of a raised level of illness among guests. safety is always our first priority, so as a precautionary measure we have taken a decision to remove all our customers from this hotel." nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe has spent the first night with her daughter in more than two years after being granted temporary release from prison in iran. the british—iranian mother was jailed in 2016 after being convicted of spying, which she denies. her lawyers are now trying to get her release extended. mrs zaghari—ratcliffe, who works for the charity thomson reuters foundation,

was arrested at tehran airport after visiting her family on holiday. speaking to newsnight her husband richard says he found out his wife had been released when she skyped him from her iran. she did not know what to say apart from, i'm out, can you believe it? she had had visits in prison so she had been able to sit, we had been able to sit, so some contact. but to be able to be in the garden with her, not for two years, to be ever to lift her up and dance with her and feed her and all those things that you can't do in prison, yeah, a day to day. this is three days, i imagine it's going to be incredibly ha rd imagine it's going to be incredibly hard going back — what hopes do you have that this marks a change of attitude, that it's something that might be built on and might pave the way for freedom? your right to be cautious and a part of us is deeply

cautious. i think you're right, it was only three days and she is back in there now. her lawyer will be sure that we can extend this for longer. if we can, that's a good step in itself, we'll see. it's the beginning hopefully of a change, that there is an improvement in our case and let's see where it goes. you must think about some of the big picture aspects of this, does a change in foreign secretary make a difference? boris johnson has made it very clear that it was one of his top priorities. and the new foreign secretary has made some strong statements. week have asked him as well as his predecessor to think about diplomatic protection which is quite an aggressive thing to ask. he said, iam quite an aggressive thing to ask. he said, i am considering it. quite an aggressive thing to ask. he said, iam considering it. but quite an aggressive thing to ask. he said, i am considering it. but at the same time he is clearly trying to improve relations with iran in other ways. so there has been a

clear push, there has obviously been a lot of work that happened before he came along and it will be part of that. but yes, i sit here very happy with the foreign secretary at the moment. do you sense lastly this question about sanctions and what america has done and perhaps keeping britain with the other european nations faithful to the iran deal, nuclear deal, does that play any role in this? i think the uk made a statement saying it was firmly in favour of the deal and at the same time that's when the noises started coming out. so i'm sure those things are not unconnected to. we've always been a political case and laptop and yes, what the foreign secretary said, we hope to have a good relationship with iran and we hope that will be a basis for improving things in our case. still to come. ireland prepares to welcome pope francis this weekend, the first papal visit to ireland

for almost 40 years. it will be the biggest event in ireland for decades, but how has the once staunchly catholic country transformed ? also, a difficult week for donald trump as two of his former aides face prison sentences for tax and bank fraud. we'll look at what the future holds for the us president and whether he could be removed from office. time for the latest news, here's ben. officials in egypt say two british tourists who were found dead in a hotel in the resort of hurghada died of natural causes. james cooper, who was 69, is said to have suffered heart failure. his 64—year—old wife, susan, is said to have passed out and died in hospital. thomas cook is removing all its customers from the hotel following the deaths.

the former first minister of scotland, alex salmond has denied sexual misconduct allegations made against him. the claims which the daily record said dated back to 2013, when he was still in office. mr salmond claims he hadn't been allowed to "properly challenge" the case against him. the scottish government says they will defend their position vigorously. australia has a new prime minister after malcolm turnbull was forced out by his party rivals. scott morrison, who was treasurer in the government led by the liberal party, won a leadership contest held this morning. mr turnbull, who did not stand in the vote, said he was proud of his record and blamed "insurgent" mps for bringing him down. the chancellor philip hammond has been accused of launching a "dodgy project fear" by brexit—backing conservatives, that was after he warned that a no—deal brexit would cause major economic damage. mr hammond's comments came just hours after the brexit secretary dominic raab played down the likelihood of the uk leaving the eu without a deal. mr raab insisted an agreement is the most likely option, but says it's important "practical" preparations are made. ajewish labour mp says she feels "unwelcome" in the party

after a video emerged showing jeremy corbyn accusing british zionists of having "no sense of english irony". liverpool wavertree mp luciana berger described the labour leader's comments as "inexcusable". the clip of the labour leader's speech from 2013 was published on the daily mail website, as mr corbyn makes efforts to tackle anti—semitism in his party. a spokesperson for mr corbyn denied the comments were offensive. health professionals should consider telling people to go tee—total, because there's no safe limit for alcohol consumption, that's the findings of a major new study. the research by the university of washington, published in the lancet medicaljournal found that having just one alcoholic drink a day increased the chance of developing a problem. previous studies had claimed that moderate levels of drinking protected against heart disease. pope francis will arrive in dublin tomorrow

for the start of a two—day visit to the republic of ireland. he's expected to draw significantly smaller crowds than the last papal trip to the country byjohn paul ii in 1979. the irish prime minister leo varadkar says pope francis will arrive in an ireland where the church has less of a dominant effect on society. itv says declan donnelly will have a new co—host for this year's series of ‘i'm a celebrity, get me out of here'. the announcement comes amid speculation the presenter may have fronted the show by himself following his co—host, ant mcpartlin being given time off following a recent drink—driving conviction. the 2016 winner scarlett moffatt remains the bookmakers‘ favourite to take up the role. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. you have been getting in touch about

that safe limit on alcohol not existing, you take a risk getting out of bed in the morning, says one viewer, these researchers do not live in the real world, are the people who conducted it going teetotal, what next, don't drink water, don't eat. i have given up exercise, says one viewer, to get rid of migraines, ifeel better and healthier. from hastings, i enjoy drinking wine and even if it was proven that by quitting i would live ten yea rs proven that by quitting i would live ten years longer, i would not stop drinking wine, i would rather have a happy ten years with wind than 20 without. here's some sport now. burnley boss sean dyche criticises officials in their europa league match against 0lympiakos, saying they could succumbed to pressure. brendan rodgers says their defence

lacked pride and desire, in their 1-1 lacked pride and desire, in their 1—1 draw in lithuania. rangers won, however. burnley lost 3—1 to live your cost. chris ashton has been banned for seven weeks, he will miss the start of the premiership season. sophie hahn was one of six british gold medallist on a big night at the european para athletics championships, taking the t 38 200 metres title as britain go into day five on top of the medal table. that is all the sport. it's been nearly 40 years since pope saintjohn paul ii's plane landed on the runway at dublin airport. there was hysteria at the time, with almost half of the island's population gathering to be a part of the once—in—a—lifetime event. but the ireland that pope francis will visit this weekend is completely different to the one that greeted his polish predecessor. the catholic church has been rocked by revelations of paedophile priests, sexual abuse in orphanages and exploitation of women in mother—and—baby homes. it will still be the biggest event

in ireland for decades, but how has the once staunchly catholic country changed ? the irish prime minister leo varadkar says it's a different country now. ireland has become a very different place in the past 40 years since the last papal visit and our relationship with the church has changed during that period, like it has for a lot of countries. but i think it's fair to say that ireland is increasingly diverse, increasingly secular, a much more liberal country and a much more globally outward looking than maybe it was 40 years ago. and the relationship with the church has changed, principally because some of the revelations that have occurred around child sex abuse, for example. but also some of the institutions that were run by the catholic church in the past, sometimes on their own, sometimes in corporation with the state, that has caused people, i believe, to look at the catholic church in a different way. let's talk now to michael 0'sullivan,

a jesuit priest who met the pope back in the 80s when he visited ireland. mary coll has responded to the "say nope to the pope" campaign. she has tickets to mass but will not be going. colette was 8—years—old when the pope first visited ireland 40 years ago. sister ann was there for the first visit and will be meeting the pope this weekend. fatherjames 0'reilly is a young priest volunteering for the pope at the event. it isa it is a very changed ireland, how did you see it then and how do you see it now? everything has changed so see it now? everything has changed so much, it is difficult, the changes have been so enormous. i rememberwhenl changes have been so enormous. i rememberwhen i was changes have been so enormous. i remember when i was eight years old, the pope was coming, the level of

religious fervour was at fever pitch. everyone was talking about the pope, how they would get there, where they would get there, it seemed like all of ireland was on the move and it was not an easy thing to get to see the pope, the roads would not have been in as good condition, it was a big journey, people made expeditions to get there, taking sometimes days. our family did not go, there was age children under the age of 12, as so many catholic irish families have at that time, we would not have fit in the car, dublin was like a foreign country. i remember feeling envious of the kids in the class who were going to see the pope, with their families, because a lot of people did go. it was a massive deal. even when people could not go, there were churches that held special masses in the towns for people to gather. i was chosen as one of the girls in my

class to hold a flag, one of us help the papal flag and the other held the papal flag and the other held the irish flag and we walked up the aisle, terrified that he would put a step wrong. that you might have the flag of centre! i mean, it really took over ireland in 1979. will you be going this time? no, i only know one person who is going, she is only going to accompany her mother. when you say it is one of the biggest events in ireland in a long time, it is true for some people, but the reception is probably the polar opposite to what it was in 1979: that was enthusiasm and excitement, now there is anger and protest and people speaking out, people getting the chance to highlight their dissatisfaction and more than dissatisfaction, their anger with the catholic church and the things that have happened in ireland. it is completely different playing field. mary, you are one of the people that

has decided to protest over the visit, you have tickets to the mass but you are deliberately not going, explain why that is. a number of people decided they would book tickets and not attend as a form of dignified protest. iwas tickets and not attend as a form of dignified protest. i was born in a mother and baby home, 1962, dignified protest. i was born in a motherand baby home, 1962, i booked a ticket for myself and for my birth mother. 0n the sunday, this coming sunday, i will be in tune with the historian, catherine cordless, at the sight of the burial of several hundred infants at that site. this is about making a vocal and dignified protest to the church, because the church does not seem to wa nt because the church does not seem to want to hear what we have to say. —— site. you say, dignified protest, how are you feeling in yourself, or obviously, you're... your personal situation, are you angry?” obviously, you're... your personal situation, are you angry? i am not angry in the sense of an anger that

is erupting, this is a long, slow burning anger, the same kind of slow burning anger, the same kind of slow burning anger, the same kind of slow burning anger that i think i share with thousands of irish people, who are catholics, who were catholics, who are not really ready to receive the head of the catholic church as a visitor to the country, we are still in the process of trying to work out how we will heal decades of damage invalided upon us by into the juice and all representatives. it is not the time yet, far from it, to kiss and make up. i don't think this is the biggest event that has happened in the last 40 years in ireland, and i don't think that the response to the pope will be any thing at all near the response that there was in 1979. it is not, we are not ready, we are not engaged, and we have, the church has a lot of questions to answer. only in the last week we had

revelations from pittsburgh, and time and again, as each one of these cases break, there is, the catholic community, either the actively practising catholic community or those raised catholic are looking to rome and saying, what are you going to do? the answer from rome is a deafening silence. words said like sorrow, the current pope, pope francis, said during the week there would be a time for reflection and penance... we don't want reflection and penance: we want to see people brought for the authorities, charged, and put into prison. we wa nt charged, and put into prison. we want the church to open their files and we want an end to the church's collusion and protection of paedophiles. articulate description of how the country has changed since the last visit, how do you feel about this visit? i have great

sympathy for the previous speakers, but i am from the church in the north of ireland, in belfast, and i would like to say, my experience during the past 40 years has been very positive. i think that our church, the catholic church, has done whatever it could through changing structures and supported and developed programmes for families for young people and i am working with the young people. programmes like youth encounter, and i feel that young people programmes like youth encounter, and ifeel that young people have been given a great voice, the laity have been given a greater chance, and certainly in the north of ireland, through the troubles, we have together and done what we could together, we have done our best. we are very together, we have done our best. we are very excited to be down here

today. inaudible this is a marvellous resource.|j this is a marvellous resource.” wa nt to this is a marvellous resource.” want to be able to bring everybody m, want to be able to bring everybody in, the time constraints of our conversation, mary, mary was really raising her eyebrows, when you say the church has done everything it can, ican the church has done everything it can, i can see from theirfaces, we don't have time to come back to you, hopefully we will, making the point on their behalf, they do not feel the church has, a lot of people don't, what does... does the pope have to say something today about what has gone on? of course he has and of course he will. let's bring in fatherjames o'reilly, you are a rare thing these days in ireland, you are a young priest, 28 years old. we are hearing about the divisions in the country, what was

it that made you want to become a priest, against the backdrop of everything that has unfolded will stop good morning, it is great to be with you. my experience over the la st with you. my experience over the last 15 years or so, i cannot speak for what happened in the past, other than express my sorrow and anger at what happened, it should not have happened, but our church, which represents or is supposed to represents or is supposed to represent god's love and mercy, simply did not do that for many people. as a young man and a young believer who is proud to be part of the catholic church, that is the first thing i want to say. to answer your question, my experience, i experienced the love of god, that is the first thing. and as i have seen the first thing. and as i have seen the church, my experience has been of many inspirational priests, many

men who have given up their lives to serve god and serve his people. they have inspired me, as well as many young families and older families, who have given of themselves, who have shown incredible dignity, and have shown incredible dignity, and have shown incredible dignity, and have shown me that the church is a place where god truly is present. and the final thing of course, to mention, my own family, i was raised ina great mention, my own family, i was raised in a great family, in west belfast, they raised me and brought me to mass. whilst as any young person my experience we re mass. whilst as any young person my experience were not always positive, boring sunday mass, a seed was planted, deep within me. and that is the short answer. and very quickly, i really feel it is a privilege to be down here. i see many young people who are searching for meaning. and that is why i want to

be here. michael has met the pope review three, when he was previously in ireland, i want to get your reaction to what you are hearing there... you both have got very positive experiences of the catholic church. one of the great dangers is the use of the term historic, it makes people imagine that in all of the situations that are being discussed, the abuse and the pain and the suffering is somehow quite dated and beyond our current experience, the problem is, the church has not dealt with the pain and the suffering of people who are very much alive, they may not be young people, but there is nothing historic about the pain and the anger and the hurt that is being currently felt by large numbers of people in this country, and that has not been actively dealt with by the church. and that is the problem, there is nothing historic about real

people's pain. michael, i mention that the pope has been in ireland before, 1980, you met him, what was he like? i met him when he stayed with us at the jesse witten he like? i met him when he stayed with us at thejesse witten unity pa rt with us at thejesse witten unity part in dublin, he had just finished his term as the leader of thejesse wittens in argentina, the situation there was a very stressful one, he came for to get a little bit of space, to deal with all that aftermath. —— jesuit. space, to deal with all that aftermath. ——jesuit. and space, to deal with all that aftermath. —— jesuit. and also to learn some english. i was in the community where he was staying, and i got community where he was staying, and igot up community where he was staying, and i got up to get something to eat, i was walking across, i noticed him at a table on his own, very little english so it was not easy for him to mix, and i said, hello, ithink you are a visitor here, i said who i am, he said to me who he was. i asked where he was from, he said, argentina, i said, asked where he was from, he said, argentina, isaid, argentina, i had a big interest in latin america, i

was meant to be going there, and i did,i was meant to be going there, and i did, iwent was meant to be going there, and i did, i went to cello, in 1981, this was the year before, i was aware of the situation in argentina he had come from full of i have participated in protests in 1979. —— chilly. argentina had won the world cup in1978, so chilly. argentina had won the world cup in 1978, so i had worked as a pa rt cup in 1978, so i had worked as a part of some of those celebrations, there was going to be a match played there was going to be a match played the following day after that, we have protests about it because some of us were aware that in argentina, the military in power had been selling children, babies, of left—wing opponents, who they were murdering, selling these babies.” hate to interrupts you, it is absolutely fascinating that you met him in1980 absolutely fascinating that you met him in 1980 under such a different guise, interesting to hear what

happened then, what your conversations were, in terms of the fa ct conversations were, in terms of the fact you have a different perspective, and experience from the others, in our discussion, which is what we wanted to bring you in for that personal view. broadly and briefly, how do you see this visit, and when you hear the diverse and opinions we have here, and experiences, how do you see island today and how the visit by the pope will be viewed and felt.” com pletely will be viewed and felt.” completely agree with the things that have been said about the terrible atrocities and tragedies that have happened in ireland and around the world. these must be a addressed thoroughly, and this boat isa addressed thoroughly, and this boat is a person who has that capacity and will do what he can. he has already said he is intense to do so. that is just the first step, the practical step, to implement, that... he is a man who when he puts his mind things does follow. ——

intention to do so. we must bear in mind he is in the catholic church as leader but with people who are very opposed to him. he is trying to do things in that context, that must be factored in in terms of how he is doing. thank you all very much, we will have plenty of coverage of the visit over the weekend. coming up, private renters have a fifty—fifty chance of being evicted if they complain about the condition of their property. -- 50/50. we'll speak to someone who has received notice of their eviction after raising concerns about unsatisfactory conditions in their flat. it's been a week of high drama in us politics. donald trump's presidency has been rocked by developments in two criminal investigations involving one—time members of his inner circle. so, what's been happening,

and what does it mean for the embattled president? first up, donald trump's former campaign chief? paul manafort has been found guilty on eight charges of tax fraud, bank fraud and failing to disclose foreign banks accounts. it's the first successful prosecution resulting from the justice department's probe into alleged russian election meddling during the 2016 election, although confusingly none of these charges are connected to russian interference in the election. trump has repeatedly called the investigating a "rigged witch—hunt", and insisted that his campaign didn't conspire with russia to fix the election result. here's how trump reacted to the conviction paul manafort‘s a good man, he was with ronald reagan. he was with a lot of different people over the years and i feel very sad about that. it didn't involve me but i still feel it's a very sad thing that happens. this has nothing to do with russian collusion. even more seriously, trump s former lawyer michael cohen has pleaded guilty in a new york court to violating campaign finance laws by hiding hush money payments that he arranged to adult film star stormy daniels.

he said that he had done so at the direction of president trump when he was a candidate at the 2016 election — implicating donald trump in criminal activity. interviewed on us television the other day, mr trump said the payments had come from him personally, not from the campaign — but he had previously denied all knowledge of them. well, questions around whether impeachment could take place. impeachment is the process by which the us congress can remove a sitting presidents, and if the democrats gain control of the house of representatives at the mid term elections in november, it could become a real possibility. well, here's what trump told fox news about that. i didn't know manafort well. he wasn't with the campaign long. they got on with things totally unrelated to the campaign. and by the way, they got cohen on totally unrelated to the campaign. i'm not involved. i wasn't charged with anything. you know, people don't like to say that but i wasn't charged. mm—hm. i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a greatjob. i'll tell you what, if i ever got impeached i think the market would crash, i think everybody would be very poor because without this thinking you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse.

we can speak now tojeffrey koffman a former correspondent for the abc network, and jacob parakilas from the think tank chatham house. could this be a turning point? we have wondered where the tipping point would come since the candidacy was announced, when the tapes came out during the campaign, with those obscene comments on the bus we thought, this is it, he will fall. family times have we said that and wondered that. this is a serious one but you cannot underestimate his survival ability, he does not follow traditional norms, the kind of things that he has done and what we have seen this week would have brought down george bush, barack obama... he seems impervious. but certainly this is the most serious problem he has had in his presidency. i think what we had to see is how this impacts the mid—term

elections that are coming up, do the republicans lose control of the house, and if so, what is the impact on him? jacob, on that, trump seeming impervious, he has said, i have always had controversy in my life and i have always won. is this different, members of the inner circle talking in the way they are, not just any members circle talking in the way they are, notjust any members but a lawyer, who has apparently got detailed notes of what happened? two points on that, in terms of his imperviousness, remember, the us is not a parliamentary system, the checks and balances... impeachment is an incredibly high bar, 25th amendment is the other processed in which a president can be removed is even higher. you only have these moments, a presidential term even higher. you only have these moments, a presidentialterm is even higher. you only have these moments, a presidential term is four years, you can only stop that with resignation, removal or impeachment, we have not yet seen how badly this will affect, we don't know what the results of the midterms will be. i would withhold judgment on how

impervious he actually is from these new charges. second, this is incredibly serious, partly because of what has already been said, michael cohen saying under oath that trump had directed him to violate federal campaign finance law but we do not know what was in the voluminous stash of documents that curran had which the fbi now has after the raid and we don't know if manifolds will start cooperating. paul manafort. cohen ——. there are still questions. one former trump campaign adviser has described these midterms coming up as a referendum on the impeachment of the president. would you say that is fair? the democrats, they fight with impeachment at their own peril, we saw with bill clinton, what he went through in 1998, when he left office, extraordinary high approval ratings, if there is... there is a scenario that if they go down that

route, if they have the power, they could be we are letting him in 2020. impeachment is a very political process , impeachment is a very political process, not a judicial process in the traditional sense. the democrats certainly are telegraphing to their candidates, do not talk about impeachment, it will feed into polarising and in mobilising —— mobilising the republican base. i don't know we are going that way, i think what is interesting, how few republicans are speaking up about trump, they are afraid of him, they are in love with power and his conservative agenda. yesterday we saw conservative agenda. yesterday we saneff sessions, attorney general, trump saneff sessions, attorney general, tru m p co nsta ntly saneff sessions, attorney general, trump constantly bashing him, vain, i'd defend the justice trump constantly bashing him, vain, i'd defend thejustice department, a rare moment when a senior republican actually stood up to trump. it is pretty clear that after the mid—term elections, jeff sessions will be gone, but, the republican base, the republican senators and congressmen have a lot to answer for in all of this, they privately disdain this man but publicly they say nothing!

in the country at large, he is very popular among republican voters, com pletely popular among republican voters, completely polarising, there is a situation now, we have not seen it before. growing situation where the opposing voters really dislike him. that is one way of looking at it, the other way is that the us economy is growing rapidly. trump tries to ta ke is growing rapidly. trump tries to take credit for that, under those circumstances, no war brought that has not been going on for 17 years, thatis has not been going on for 17 years, that is out of the public consciousness, there is no real economic issues, major economic issues, people's lives are pretty good. under those circumstances, you would expect and approval rating to be north of 50% and trump hovers between 37 and 42. his bottom is stuck at 37, the bottom possible ranking of where he could be according to what the approval ratings have been so far. it doesn't

go much beyond 42, that is a weak position. american presidents tend to be re—elected but we have not seen a president under this kind of legal scrutiny. i don't think the architects of the constitution could have anticipated the scenario we are in. ithink have anticipated the scenario we are in. i think we have seen so much disruption to everything through social media and through the internet and so the traditional way people communicate and get their information, the filters of networks like this in the us and the newspapers, have been so disrupted and trump's ability to go over the media's head and to use twitter to manipulate truth has so distorted the way information is disseminated, not to mention the influence of russia etc, that it is really a challenge for any democracy but

particularly right now the us to understand how to weather this and how to endure it and ultimately this isa how to endure it and ultimately this is a real test of the checks and balances. i think what was just being said about the ability to throw out an american president, it's really tough but can congress and the system withstand all this? time to weather with nick miller. ple nty of time to weather with nick miller. plenty of sunshine. mothers to start the day. you may have been caught in a shower already and they will be spreading to other areas as they move south—eastwards during the day. parts of the midlands, east anglia and the south—east of england will stay dry until this evening. some of the showers are heavy, a risk of hail, too. gusts of wind will be higher than these average speeds. many of us topping outjust into the mid—teens, feeling cooler still when

the showers move through. into this evening, those heavy showers finally reach towards the south—eastern parts of the uk. and then they clear away. still a few towards the north—west overnight. becoming chillier overnight. down to four or five in some spots. after a chilly night there will be plenty of sunshine to start the day. tomorrow the showers will tend to fade and there will be sunny spells around, temperatures may be a degree or so higher. we have got rain coming on sunday and back to sunshine and showers on monday. hello, it's friday, it's 10 o'clock, i'm joanna gosling. our top story. the unexplained death of a british couple on holiday in egypt leads to the evacuation of more than 300 tourists from a thomas cook hotel. everybody is really worried and as

the anxiety raises and people start talking to each other, they want answers from thomas cook, who have been really disappointing. the travel company says it is evacuating guests as a precaution — we'll hear from some of those caught up in it all. have you heard of revenge evictions? new research says nearly half of people who formally complain about the state of their rented accommodation risk being evicted because of it. we'll hear from someone who has received notice of their eviction after raising concerns about unsatisfactory conditions in their flat. and how much alcohol is safe to drink? the government says about a pint of lager or a small glass and a half of wine a day is ok, but new research claims drinking n0 alcohol at all is the only way to avoid health risks. good morning, it's ten o'clock. ben brown is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the day's news. officials in egypt say two british tourists who were found dead in a hotel in the resort of hurghada died of natural causes. james cooper, who was 69, is said to have

suffered heart failure. his 64—year—old wife, susan, is said to have passed out and died in hospital. thomas cook is removing all its customers from the hotel following the deaths. a little earlier, our news correspondent dan johnson gave us this update. what we know is thatjohn cooper fell ill at this hotel and was taken to hospital and died there. now, it has been reported that he suffered a heart attack, although some friends have speculated to the press that they may have suffered something like carbon monoxide poisoning. his wife susan died some three hours after him, there is no confirmation of what led to their deaths. but there is certainly an investigation ongoing and that's why thomas cook says as a precaution it is going to move people from this hotel, at least give them the option of switching hotels within hurghada or coming home if they prefer. and it's taking every step to support the family

because susan cooper was one of their own employees, she worked at the thomas cook travel office branch in burnley, she is described as a loyal, long—serving member of staff. that that branch is closed. australia has a new prime minister after malcolm turnbull was forced out by his party rivals. scott morrison, who was treasurer in the government led by the liberal party, won a leadership contest held this morning and has been sworn in as leader. mr turnbull, who did not stand in the vote, said he was proud of his record and blamed "insurgent" mps for bringing him down. the chancellor, philip hammond, has been accused of launching a "dodgy project fear" by brexit—backing conservatives. this, after he warned that a no—deal brexit would cause major economic damage. mr hammond's comments came just hours after the brexit secretary, dominic raab, played down the likelihood of the uk leaving the eu without a deal. mr raab insisted an agreement is the most likely option, but says it's important "practical" preparations are made. ajewish labour mp says she feels "unwelcome" in the party after a video emerged showing

jeremy corbyn accusing british zionists of having "no sense of english irony". liverpool wavertree mp luciana berger described the labour leader's comments as "inexcusable". the clip of the labour leader's speech from 2013 was published on the daily mail website, as mr corbyn makes efforts to tackle anti—semitism in his party. a spokesperson for mr corbyn denied the comments were offensive. health professionals should consider telling people to go teetotal, because there's no safe limit for alcohol consumption, that's the findings ouf a major new study. the research by the university of washington, published in the lancet medical journal found that having just one alcoholic drink a day increased the chance of developing a problem. previous studies had claimed that moderate levels of drinking

protected against heart disease. pope francis will arrive in dublin tomorrow for the start of a two—day visit to the republic of ireland. he's expected to draw significantly smaller crowds than the last papal trip to the country byjohn paul the second in 1979. the irish prime minister, leo varadkar says pope francis will arrive in an ireland where the church has less of a dominant effect on society. itv says declan donnelly will have a new co—host for this year's series of i'm a celebrity, get me out of here. the announcement comes amid speculation the presenter may have fronted the show by himself following his co—host, ant mcpartlin, being given time off following a recent drink—driving conviction. the 2016 winner, scarlett moffatt, remains the bookmakers‘ favourite to take up the role. that‘s a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 10.30. later — looking forward to a friday night drink? well, a new study suggests there is no safe limit to the amount of alcohol we should be drinking, and you‘ve been getting in touch.

interesting. from all and sundry, on their side. and then things change in the second—half. rangers were the only british side to manage a win in the first leg of last night‘s europea league qualfiers — that takes steven gerrard‘s unbeaten run as manager to 10 games. but celtic manager brendan rodgers said his side lacked pride and desire, after another disappointing night. the one positive was an away goal against fk sudeva in lithuania, thanks to olivier n‘cham. but their defence fell apart again and the tie is level at 1—1 going into the second leg on thursday. i felt for the supporters tonight. you know, they've come all the way out here, 200 of them, all the way out, probably trains, buses, the whole thing. and, you know, it's a disappointing performance for them. 0k disappointing performance for them. ok they've seen a goal but we have

to do much better than that. in rugby union, chris ashton returned from playing in france during the summer, with the hope of forcing his way into eddie jones‘ england squad. he earned his first call up to the training set—up for two years. but he‘s now been given a seven—week ban for a dangerous tackle during a pre—season match. it means he‘ll miss the first six games of the premiership season with sale and he‘ll have one match to prove his worth if he‘s to make the squad for the autumn internationals. great britain‘s sophie hahn has won herfirst european 200m title. she took gold in the t38 class at the european para—athletics championships in berlin, to add to her world title. that was one of six golds for great britain on day four, and they top the medals table with 31. britain also dominated the inaugural racerunning events, which mainly feature athletes with cerebal palsy, using specially designed trikes which give them support to run independently. hannah dines won gold, and she knows it‘s been a long process to get this included at a major championships. it's

it‘s about cerebral palsy and about really severe disabilities getting on the stage. and it‘s also about a week it having a dream, i was 19 but i felt to years old when i had the first pure, unimpeded sense of movement that i had ever had. it doesn‘t matter how old you are, really. it‘s about me wanting golden — i really wanted it. really. it‘s about me wanting golden - i really wanted it. and there has been another gold for great britain this morning and i will bring you news of that at half past ten. private renters in england have an almost one in two chance of being evicted within six months if they complain about their house not being up to scratch. that‘s according to the latest research from charity citizens advice, who are calling for laws protecting people who rent their homes to be toughened. the figures come three years after measures were introduced to stamp out revenge evictions, where a landlord tried to evict you after you report repairs or complain about the property‘s conditions. we can speak tojoe lane, from citizens advice, donna—marie love—davis, a full time landlord for the past eight years, and jailson rocha, who was given

an eviction notice on wednesday after complaingin about after complaining about unsatisfactory conditions at the property he‘s been living in. what is a revenge eviction? we looked at the people who made complaints and we found that when people made official complaints, either to their local authority or to the citizens advice, they had an almost one in two chance of being evicted which means their landlord had evicted them from their property through no fault of their own and we are through no fault of their own and we a re really through no fault of their own and we are really concerned that the laws brought in to protect people against this three years ago aren‘t working effectively. so it is not that they are complaining direct to the landlords, it‘s when it has gone beyond that? i think there is a full spectrum of revenge eviction is. what is really concerned from the

research is that even when the te na nt research is that even when the tenant is taking the correct steps to try and get their property fixed by making that official complaint, they‘re still vulnerable to eviction. there is a bigger group of people who will be being evicted after just people who will be being evicted afterjust complaining to the landlord. jailson rocha, you have been served notice to leave the property this week, what is your situation? for the last few years it has been quite stressful because several things have happened with the property and i have been consistently complaining and taking steps to make it a better place to live. and either they are not doing the job, the job is not up to scratch or they are delaying it and they're just getting around things, not doing what they are supposed to do. so have us collated the complaints? i have escalated it to the council, i have exhausted the process and then it has not been responded to and sol process and then it has not been responded to and so i have taken this step —— i have escalated...

with the help of shelter, we have escalated it to the independent adjudicator, from which we haven't received a response yet. and so it is an ongoing thing. we are actually seeing pictures of your property now, what is happening here? this i believe it is the fire alarm which i have been complaining about since i moved in, it is there... sorry, it is the fire alarm. it has not been working correctly and i complained consistently about it and the council has taken ten months to visit the property after i exhausted the last process of the complaints procedure. why don't you just leave if you are making complaints and things are not being done?m if you are making complaints and things are not being done? it is not as easy, being the situation that i am in, battling mental health and other illnesses. unfortunately it is not as easy for me to take the step

to move. financially, it is not viable because i don't have the financial freedom to do as i please, unfortunately. donna-marie love—davis, you manage 40 properties in total, have you ever issued any of these section 21 orders, the process by which somebody is evicted for no specific reason?” process by which somebody is evicted for no specific reason? i would say i have issued a handful in 15 years or something of section 21 notices. ican or something of section 21 notices. i can only think of one that ironicallyjust happened i can only think of one that ironically just happened to i can only think of one that ironicallyjust happened to come after there had been a report to the council. and in that scenario it was made to environmental health. i have never had any report of any issue at the property. it was in that insta nce the property. it was in that instance a tenant who was a social te na nt instance a tenant who was a social tenant and they had reported an issue of a banister that was loose that hadn‘t been reported to me so i couldn‘t act up on it and also the

lack of a smoke alarm. so i attended the inspection and obviously, the first i had heard of the banister is that was rectified within days. and the environmental health officer had seen a the environmental health officer had seen a signed photographic infantry which have been witnessed by this particular tenant‘s social worker when they moved in that the smoke alarm was there and that within the previous six months they had signed to say there was a smoke alarm. obviously, it showed that they had removed the smoke alarms, for whatever reason. without going into the specifics of the individual case, you said ironically... the eviction notice was given after... after the council had been contacted, i guess the tenant might have felt they were the victim of a revenge eviction? well, that picture could have been painted. if you talk in mind some of the guidelines citizens advice have put forward, that there should be protection in place, once a complaint has been

lodged, whatever the outcome. in that particular situation the outcome came quite clearly that i hadn‘t done anything wrong and no reports had been made. and in that particular scenario, there were reasons why a section 21 had been issued but i could have issued a section eight which is where it is at the fault of the tenant, it might be rent arrears or damage or numerous other reasons. . . be rent arrears or damage or numerous other reasons... when you issue a section eight, the council are obliged to help them. this particular lady, the family had grown from nine children to 11 and i did not want to be responsible for putting them in that situation but because of other numerous reasons i could have used a section eight with rent arrears and breaches of the tenancy in various ways, i could have gone along that route or the section 21. there was another one where the tenant decided to move out, that was not one of my properties, it was another

landlord... so we're hearing there are two sides to most stories? yeah, andl are two sides to most stories? yeah, and i think what is crucial is that the system works for both sides. the government have got this consultation about three year tenancies and we think they should introduce it and it would solve lots of people's problems so it would give the 4.7 million private renters we now have in the uk security, to know that if i make a complaint or i feel like my house is in disrepair, ican make feel like my house is in disrepair, i can make a complaint that i can be sure that i'm not going to be evicted as a result of its. but equally i think there tenant is breaking their terms of contract or they're sort of behaving antisocially, about the landlord has antisocially, about the landlord has a proper method to evict them. so we would urge the government to look at that section eight processors well and make sure that it works well for landlords. i would really disagree with this quite strongly because the research which appears to have been done by citizens advice concentrates on about 2000 tenants but says it

represents the nation. and the research is done across the uk. but the only way they can have information about tenants is if they have contacted them or they are on some database somewhere, rather than the hundreds of tenants who have come in and out of my door who have never been involved in any kind of research. looking into the section eight to extend the notice to three months makes it even more financially unviable for a landlord who is struggling with problem te na nts. who is struggling with problem tenants. there is already existing legislation for local councils now, very recently, to prosecute rogue landlords and for them to be fined up landlords and for them to be fined up to £30,000 per offence. and the council gets to keep that money in their coffers for the first time so that they can reinvest it into looking to resolve some of the issues. but magistrates haven‘t got clear outlines of how to issue these finds so they tend to look at what the landlord can afford rather than the landlord can afford rather than the severity of the crime. do you

think the system is right at the moment? no, i think it is think the system is right at the moment? no, ithink it is very think the system is right at the moment? no, i think it is very much weighted towards the tenant and i am fine with that... but a lot of the research points to the fact that environmental health officers get involved with things and they consider it theirjob to mediate and try and resolve situations, which by the time it has got to an official body, really, the mediation process is finished. the landlord or the letting agent, if they are not doing what they are responsible for doing, they are the people who are responsible for taking action. i think a responsible for taking action. i thinkafar responsible for taking action. i think a far better solution would be to introduce something like educating tenants about their responsibilities and landlords need to be educated about theirs as well. what would you say to that? citizens advice helps about 70,000 private renters a year. the research itself may not be a representative sample but it is more important to focus on

the story we have heard and what is really worrying is that even when somebody has gone through that really long process, two or three years of making complaints, they're still left in a position where they can be evicted through this process. we think it is really important that the government is taking these steps, they recognise that this is happening following the 2015 laws, and in our research we think about 140,000 people have been affected by revenge of actions since 2015 and those laws are not working. in this three year proposal they have got a solution which can help protect tenants, not rely on the tenants themselves to make sure they are getting the protection they deserve. i know you havejust getting the protection they deserve. i know you have just given us that stat of 140,000 evictions, from what we‘re hearing from donna—marie love—davis. .. how have we‘re hearing from donna—marie love—davis... how have the figures come about? what have they been based on? it is a common research method which opinion polls will use to get very accurate predictions to within1% of events happening. to get very accurate predictions to within 1% of events happening. just

over 2000 people since the... and we've used that through a reputable polling company who does this sort of thing for companies and political parties everyday. and that produces a representative sample of private renters in england. donna-marie love—davis‘s complaint was that actually the section 21 doesn‘t this sorry give the whole picture because she says sometimes a landlord would use it so that a tenant isn‘t penalised by the section eight, would you say that could be the case more often than is being considered? one thing! more often than is being considered? one thing i would agree with is that the current section eight isn't perfect for landlords and so what needs to happen is that you need to protect the majority of tenants, in situations where they are making a complaint under section 21 and it is being improperly used, but make sure that the section eight is fit for purpose and a landlord has a fast

and effective means of evicting tenants where they are at fault. and that should work properly. you are ina that should work properly. you are in a situation now where you‘ve been given two months notice to leave your property, what will you do? you said before you did not really have options to make the choice yourself? imean, it options to make the choice yourself? i mean, it has only gone about 48 hours so it is a very short time to actually think about it. i have contacted london renters rights, which gives out lots of information, giving me all the information that i can use in order to put things right. also shelter and miranda, which are amazing, they are supporting me and i will be seeing them soon for them to put something in place to see what can be done. what i would say about this whole story is that when a landlord does not keep his side of the contract,

they will go without any fine, nothing. and throughout this process i had stress, i have missed doctors appointments, i have had sleepless nights, i've had goods stolen from the shed, i haven't had any privacy in my own... donnamarie says she believes the system as it stands favours the tenants. it is an awful situation you are in at the moment andi situation you are in at the moment and i don‘t mean to put that down. as james says we need to focus on this but i disagree with their findings insofar as this is the minority, which if current laws are in place and the local authorities and force things, using the powers that they currently have, they could deal with this. of the problems that this gentlemen has had have been with the letting agent, he has never been able to deal with the landlords

direct. of course because my agent actually said to me that i do not have the right to have my landlord's contact details, and the prs, which is the ombudsman, they will not take the complaint because the council is dealing with it. but even the council is being very slow in their response to my complaint. and then it puts me in the situation where i've done everything that i could and still i've been penalised for it. and been put in a situation where now, i'm going to have to fight for a better solution and i don't know what's going to happen. and i see a lot of people that don't have a voice to actually go to places and talk to people and a lot of my energy could have been put in my recovery instead of in this — and that has been taken away from the. are things likely to change?” that has been taken away from the. are things likely to change? i think the government has got this real

opportunity now through this consultation on three year tenancies and we think it can repair the problems in the current laws by making sure they are mandatory and making sure they are mandatory and making sure they are mandatory and making sure that people don‘t end up in the situation where laws which do exist are not being enforced. thank you very much. coming up... we will bejoined we will be joined by an entertainment journalist who could shed some light on who will be the new co—presenter of i‘m a celebrity, get me out of here. a haircut can feel like a treat, but for people with autism it can be a very daunting experience. stylist jenine dixon has customers with the condition travelling across the country for an appointment. eight—year—old archie is one and, with his mum, caroline, he used to travel 170 miles to see her in plymouth. they‘re locals now, but they used to drive from portsmouth just so archie could get a trim. let‘s take a look at their story are you tasting it now, does it

time for the latest news. officials in egypt say two british tourists who were found dead in a hotel in the resort of hurghada died of natural causes. james cooper, who was 69, is said to have suffered heart failure. his 64—year—old wife, susan, is said to have passed out and died in hospital. thomas cook is removing all its customers from the hotel following the deaths. a little earlier our news correspondent dan johnson gave us this update. what we know is thatjohn cooper fell ill at this hotel and was taken to hospital and died there. now, it has been reported that he suffered a heart attack, although some friends have speculated to the press that they may have suffered something like carbon monoxide poisoning. his wife susan died some three hours after him, there is no confirmation of what led to their deaths. but there is certainly an investigation ongoing and that‘s why thomas cook says as a precaution it is going to move people from this hotel,

at least give them the option of switching hotels within hurghada or coming home if they prefer. and it‘s taking every step to support the family because susan cooper was one of their own employees, she worked at the thomas cook travel office branch in burnley, she is described as a loyal, long—serving member of staff. that that branch is closed. australia has a new prime minister after malcolm turnbull was forced out by his party rivals. scott morrison, who was treasurer in the government led by the liberal party, won a leadership contest held this morning and has been sworn in as leader. mr turnbull, who did not stand in the vote, said he was proud of his record and blamed "insurgent" mps for bringing him down. the chancellor, philip hammond, has been accused of launching a "dodgy project fear" by brexit—backing conservatives. this, after he warned that a no—deal brexit would cause major economic damage. mr hammond‘s comments came just hours after the brexit secretary, dominic raab, played down the likelihood of the uk leaving the eu without a deal.

mr raab insisted an agreement is the most likely option, but says it‘s important "practical" preparations are made. ajewish labour mp says she feels "unwelcome" in the party after a video emerged showing jeremy corbyn accusing british zionists of having "no sense of english irony". liverpool wavertree mp luciana berger described the labour leader‘s comments as "inexcusable". the clip of the labour leader‘s speech from 2013 was published on the daily mail website, as mr corbyn makes efforts to tackle anti—semitism in his party. a spokesperson for mr corbyn denied the comments were offensive. health professionals should consider telling people to go tee—total, because there‘s no safe limit for alcohol consumption, that‘s the findings ouf a major new study. the research by the university of washington, published in the lancet medical journal found that having just one alcoholic drink a day increased the chance of developing a problem. previous studies had claimed that moderate levels of drinking protected against heart disease.

according to uk government guidelines, 14 units of alcohol a week is the safe upper limit for men and women. one unit is around 10 ml of alcohol and the number of units ina drink is based on the size of the drink, as well as its strength. fourteen units a week is around a bottle—and—a—half of wine. but across europe the official advice varies greatly. in spain the maximum is 35 units a week for men, well over double the amount, and 21 units for women. 14 units remember is 10 small glasses of wine or six pints of regular strength lager. france‘s limits are almost double those of the uk for men, at 26 units a week, and slightly higher for women, at 17. italy‘s recommended limits are even higher, 31 units a week for men and 21 for women. germany is one of the few european countries with a lower recommended limit than the uk, but only for women, at 11 units a week. german men can apparently drink up to 21 units a week safely. so with all this conflicting advice, what is a safe level to drink? let‘s talk now to karen tyrell

from the addiction charity addaction, james morris, the editor of blog alcohol policy uk, and from edinburgh dr linda bauld the deputy directory of health policy at the university of stirling. thank you forjoining us. should health professionals be recommending no alcohol? this is probably the most comprehensive analysis we have seen so most comprehensive analysis we have seen so far, the global burden of disease group, hundreds of authors, they have certainly put to bed something we have known for a while, that moderate drinking, the benefits, outweigh some of the risks, the risks are clear. what we should do is in courage people to stick to the uk‘s low—risk drinking guidelines but we should not be criticising people who choose to be teetotal because this research shows thatis teetotal because this research shows that is a very positive choice, particularly for health.

interestingly, previously, research has indicated drinking something is better than drinking nothing. particularly around heart disease, there was research that showed low—level of alcohol consumption was protective, this study shows some protective, this study shows some protective effect for very low—level of consumption but they combine the risk factors, they have looked across the spectrum and shown that for example for women, postmenopausal women, even if there isa postmenopausal women, even if there is a moderate protective effect for one heart condition, the other outcomes in relation to cancer and other conditions related to alcohol are still there, so overall for health, there is not a beneficial effect. what is your view of the latest research, completely different from what we have heard before? i think everything linda has said is very true, the key issue is, how we and health professionals translate that message to the

general public, many of whom like to read the stories about alcohol or a glass of wine being good for the health, so, yes, as linda says, this puts that to bed. it doesn't mean we should be advocating teetotal or no safe level message, because that will put people off. we must put risk into proportion, drinking within the guidelines of 14 units a week may carry some risks, carries some risks, that is what study show, but it isjust that some risks, that is what study show, but it is just that they are very small. we do not want people to think that they need to be teetotal thatis think that they need to be teetotal that is not the message to send out. why not advocate that as far as health professionals, they do not say a certain amount of smoking is 0k, say a certain amount of smoking is ok, the message is smoking is bad. . smoking any amount is a significant health risk, whereas drinking within guidelines may carry some slightly increased long—term health risks of

certain things but in perspective of the things we do all day every day, those risks are very low if you drink within the guidelines. do you think that we have a clear and picture in this country of what is healthy when it comes to alcohol.” think, from some of the things you we re think, from some of the things you were talking about, it is quite clear that it is quite confusing to a lot of people, people do not understand what units are, they often think a unit is the amount in your glass, of course, that is not often the case. a small glass and a large glass of wine have a different numberof large glass of wine have a different number of units. glasses have got bigger as well. people drink at home much more than they did a number of years ago and you are less likely to measure out a specific unit when you are at home full i think our view is that people need sensible straightforward advice, to be able to make healthier choices about alcohol. our view would again be

that 14 units a week is about the right amount, we suggest that people have two or three nondrinking days if they possibly can, if you are drinking a small amount, one drink per day, that is probably ok but if you are drinking half a bottle of wine or more than that, every day, we would be thinking it is time for you to think about cutting down. why has it been the case that, it is not feel like there has been to cut guidance, in the newsroom this morning we were talking about this when we were putting together the statistics, and talking about how actually, we were not completely clear on exactly what 14 units tra nslates clear on exactly what 14 units translates to, this is a subject we talk about a lot. it is not easy to navigate. it is complicated, health messaging is complicated, two things, first, the public does not have a good understanding of this issue is we have not been clear about it, we did some research with

cancer research uk, only one in ten adults recognised alcohol as a risk factor for cancer, that is very different from public knowledge about smoking. there is more information on the back of a yoghurt tub, in the uk, in a supermarket than there is on a wine label. we need to communicate the risks to people so they can make sensible choices. as we have just heard, our lowest drinking guidelines were updated just 18 months ago, the figures you gave from other countries in europe, they were older and need to be revised. one of the things we looked at in the update, was the cancer risk. more studies have come out, giving us information about that, including this one today. not drinking at all is fantastic, but for many people that is not realistic. we need to convey messages about low—risk drinking and encourage people to stick to those limits. why has it been so difficult to get a clear guidance? so many

people have an interest in commenting on this, whether they are re—searchers, sections of the alcohol industry, people who advocate their right as they see it to drink as they want, different political elements as well, different bits of research coming out. it has been difficult to get a clear message out there in the absence of clear evidence. this new study is really a comprehensive picture and really does say that the idea of drinking for benefits is fiction, really. hopefully we can move on from that, and so, no doctor on medical professionals should ever advise anyone to take up drinking for health benefits, that would be absurd. if you drink within the guidelines or thereabouts, you are unlikely to develop alcohol problems

in the long term although there may be some actual risk. thank you very much. lets get more on our top story, thomas cook is removing all its customers from a hotel in egypt after the unexplained death of a british couple. john cooper and his wife susan from burnley in lancashire, died while staying at the hotel steigenberger aqua magic in the red sea resort of hurghada. the circumstances of their deaths are unknown although egyptian authorities have said that there was no criminal suspicion behind the deaths of the two british tourists adding that they died of "natural causes". earlier i spoke to janette rawlingson, who is staying at the same hotel. she said she was frustrated at how the situation was being managed. as the anxiety raises and people are

talking to one another, they want answers, but the answers from thomas cook is disappointing. we flew out on tuesday, that was the day that people passed away, i must say i am very sorry about what happened but i think we should have been given the option of whether to come or not to come, and we would have chosen to go home, i have two small children, eight and 11, one already has peanut allergies, we are very careful about his food. answers from the hotel are not good at all. i am so disappointed with them. we have worked hard, save card for a summer holiday with family, we had the children in clubs and everything for four weeks waiting for the family holiday, this is what has happened. ina holiday, this is what has happened. in a moment we will speak with someone in a moment we will speak with someone else who stayed at the hotel. but first, comments from the

daughter ofjohn and susan cooper who died at the hotel. kelly ormerod, she and her three children we re ormerod, she and her three children were on the holiday with her parents when they died. she has said that the family is in after—shock, the couple were fit and healthy before their holiday. she has said that they are waiting for the results of they are waiting for the results of the postmortem examination, she has given a brief statement saying, as a family we are devastated, mother and father meant the world, we are in after—shock over what has happened, prior to going on holiday, mum and dad were fit and healthy, no health problems at all. janine travis and her husband stayed at the same hotel just a few weeks ago and they were both taken ill. she joins us from her home in oldham. thank you very much forjoining us. what happened to you and your husband? we were staying out that this

result, 11 day holiday, on the ninth day, no problems at all before them, but on the ninth day, we became extremely poorly throughout the day, we deteriorated, stomach cramps, fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, and at that same time, i got a serious water infection. we tried to keep hydrated through the night to see if it would pass but by the morning it was considered serious, at 11am, thatis was considered serious, at 11am, that is when the chemist within the hotel complex, we went straight down to there, to explain the situation, they gave us medication. if he is not better by 6pm, he must come to the surgery for antibiotics. i found that was quite strange. that was something that raised an alarm to me

that was not quite right, he was ill, there was some concern. the hotel reception called, not thomas cook, it was the reception, they called, because i had not alerted thomas cook to the illness. reception advised us and it could be confirmed we were both ill, yes we we re confirmed we were both ill, yes we were full of winger offered free room service. they advised us not to visit the communal area where all the other holiday—makers were. and i did not at any other time advised thomas cook because the following day, was our last day there, and i was just so hell—bent on getting home, and keeping fluids inside us as much as possible. which

consequently i have had to have, and iamjust at consequently i have had to have, and i am just at the end of my three weeks of antibiotics. three weeks of infection and illness, quite severe. did you ever get to the bottom of exactly what it was once you got home? no, the doctors took samples and said it is a chronic infection and said it is a chronic infection and virus that you have both got. and they started the antibiotics. while we were there, on that same night, that he was very poorly, the air conditioning unit broke down. they came and changed it. two doors down, my daughter was staying in her room, the same thing happened intermittently, through the holiday, in the evening time of the air conditioning would go off, and then kicked back in. on that particular day, it was off for 12 hours. also on that day, when they were aware of

our illness, they brought staff up and fumigated the bathroom. they obviously clearly were putting things in place when they knew that we we re things in place when they knew that we were quite poorly. thomas cook have sent us the following statement: "we are deeply saddened by the tragic deaths of two of our customers that were staying in the steigenberger aqua magic hotel in hurghada, egypt. "the circumstances of their deaths are still unclear. "we have also received further reports of a raised level of illness among guests. "safety is always our first priority, so as a precautionary measure we have taken a decision to remove all our customers from this hotel." breaking news about the former scotland first minister alex salmond. the scottish government has confirmed it received two complaints in january this year regarding former first minister alex salmond, who denies the allegations of harassment. he‘s taking the scottish government
