The Gut Cancer Foundation says author and broadcaster Nigel Latta played a vital role in raising awareness of the disease. 

The high-profile clinical psychologist has died from stomach cancer this week – he was 58. 

He was heavily involved with the Gut Cancer Foundation following his diagnosis, educating people about the symptoms and risk factors. 

Foundation CEO Liam Willis told Ryan Bridge the increased awareness means people are more likely to get themselves assessed. 

He says the earlier these cancers are detected, the better the chances of survival.

A shocking morning for the UK, with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being held in custody. 

Police have been investigating allegations the former Prince shared confidential information with late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein.  

The BBC understands Police gave advance warning of his arrest to the Home Office – the UK government's internal affairs department. 

It says his brother King Charles wasn't told of the arrest in advance, but he's released a statement saying the law must take its course. 

UK correspondent Vincent McAviney told Ryan Bridge this marks a huge day. 

He says you have to go back about 350 years since a member of the Royal Family was captured in any way.

There's optimism newly introduced visa-free travel for Chinese and Pacific tourists will prove successful long-term. 

The trial allows visitors to enter New Zealand for up to three months on a valid Australian visa. 

The Government says arrivals have almost tripled since December, reaching 36,800 visits. 

Immigration Minister Erica Stanford told Ryan Bridge the scheme will be reviewed around the 12-month mark to assess its success and any risks. 

She says there's little to no risk, as we're essentially piggybacking off Australia's robust system.
