Submarine sinks in Red Sea

Six people have been confirmed dead after a tourist submarine sank off the Egyptian Red Sea city of Hurghada. The Russian embassy in Cairo says forty five passengers were on board - all of them Russian citizens. It is the second such incident off Egypt's Red Sea coast in six months. We speak to friends of people who have died in previous incidents in the Red Sea.

OS presenter and BBC correspondent Mark Lowen has been deported from Turkey after being detained in Istanbul on Wednesday. Mark had been in Turkey for several days to report on the ongoing protests that were sparked by the Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu's arrest last week. Imamoglu - who is being held in jail on corruption charges he denies - is seen as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main political rival. We hear some of Mark's reporting from the protests and talk to one of his Turkish colleagues.

And we hear the latest reaction to the latest 25% tariffs on imported cars and car parts by US President Donald Trump.
