Now we're going to turn to that cruise ship which has been hit by the Hantavirus because it aims to have all passengers off the ship on Monday.

They've been marooned since Sunday when the outbreak was first discovered.

Let's get the latest on this now with journalist and broadcaster in Spain, Cliona O'Flynn.

Hello, Cliona.

Good morning again, Clare.

So when we spoke yesterday, we heard that there were issues with Tenerife accepting the ship.

Has that settled down now?

While it hasn't settled down, the decision has been made and, you know, the ship is on its way.

It left to start its journey towards the Canary Islands yesterday evening.

There are still complaints coming from both the regional government, that was Fernando Clavico, who is still saying

He was never properly consulted and he still wants further clarification.

And even the town council of the port where the ship is going.

Now, they've picked a smaller port that is away from the main capital and away from tourist areas.

It's in a place called Granadilla, which is halfway from Santa Cruz down to the south of the island.

But it's near a motorway both to a hospital and to an airport.

But the town council there is also saying they are not happy with the way that their port has been chosen.

They're worried about the safety of the local population.

And then this morning, I'm seeing that the port authorities are saying, while the ship has permission to anchor off the port,

full permission to dock at the port has still not been granted.

So there are still question marks over what exactly will happen on Sunday when the ship does arrive.
