This is BBC World News Today with me, Chris Rogers. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The headlines: a British inquiry highlights Europe's failure | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
to stop people smuggling across the Mediterranean. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Over 1,000 migrants were picked up on Friday off the coast of Italy - | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
some said the smugglers didn't give them a choice. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
A UN diplomat becomes the first woman appointed as secretary general | :00:21. | :00:36. | |
Also coming up: Thousands attend the funeral of a top Hezbollah | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
military commander killed in an explosion inside Syria. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
And the Canadian prime minister arrives in Fort McMurray - | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
the town devastated by a raging wildfire that forced the evacuation | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
The European mission to stop migrant smuggling | :00:54. | :01:12. | |
in the Mediterranean is failing - that's the verdict from a group | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Hundreds of migrants have arrived in Europe from Libya in the past 48 | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
hours and the report says there's little prospect of stopping more. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
That's in contrast to the route via Turkey that has | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
seen a dramatic fall - mainly due to the EU's deal | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
with Turkey to stem the number of Syrians making the crossing. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
It's the Libyan route however that's causing most concern for officials. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
The lack of a stable government in Libya is allowing more and more | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
boats to make the treacherous crossing to Italy. | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
Through most of the crossing, they slept. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Huddled beneath blankets as if trying to shield | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
themselves from the world they struggled to survive in. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
But by morning, there was a much brighter mood. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
A new future - and whatever Europe is, it must surely be better | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
233 mostly economic migrants from West Africa. | :02:13. | :02:25. | |
Italy's ports are founded on mercantile trade but this | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
This 20-year-old said the boat was the only escape | :02:28. | :02:40. | |
Yeah, we were beaten and you normally eat once in a day. | :02:41. | :02:52. | |
We found them two days ago, drifting in this rubber boat off | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
The people smugglers had packed them in and gave them just enough fuel | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
An hour after this rescue, a storm blew in. | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
And this is what happens when the waves get bigger. | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
This is the moment that they dreamt of. | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
The moment that many of them had risked it all for. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Their first steps onto European soil. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
232 here, 801 in Messina, over 1000 migrants just today. | :03:24. | :03:33. | |
Among those also leaving today were 51 young men under the age | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
Here is one from Guinea-Bissau. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
It is a lonely world for a boy so young. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
One proposed solution is to send Europe's navies into Libya's | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
waters but to do that, you need a Government | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
The inescapable truth is: so long as there is money to be made | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
from this dirty business of people trafficking, they will come. | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
Migrants heading to Europe from Libya. | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
By contrast, there are signs the efforts to stop the flow | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
of migrants into Europe from Turkey - are beginning | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Numbers arriving from Turkey onto the Greek islands are down | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
around 90 per cent in April compared with the previous month | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
following a deal struck between the EU and Turkey. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
But as our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt now reports from Izmir, | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
political pressures mean the deal is looking increasingly vulnerable. | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
These are the Turkey beaches from where tens of thousands | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
of refugees left for their perilous journey to Europe. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Today, all that remains are discarded clothes. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Almost no refugees are making the crossing to Greece. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
But the deal between Turkey and the EU to solve the migrant | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Go into the fields near the Turkish coast close to Greece and you find | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
Syrian refugees who once dreamt of going to Europe | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
The deal signed in March has all but blocked the migrant trade. | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
TRANSLATION: The sea border with Greece is now closed | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
and if someone wants to go to Europe, they cannot. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
The Turkish Coast Guard patrols are much more rigorous. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Just two months ago, 8,000 refugees crossed | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
So far this month, the numbers are around 300. | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
And for those who make it to Greece, the route through the Balkans | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
is lined with fences and riot police. | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
There is no possibility to move further from Greece and in Greece, | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
the movement from the islands to the mainland became impossible now. | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
So, in Turkey, the tables where the smugglers did their deals | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
are almost empty and the shops cannot sell air life jackets. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
The Turkish government says it has honoured its part of the deal. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
TRANSLATION: If the refugees go outside the cities | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
where they are registered, they are told to go back. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
If they try to reach the coast and escape, | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
The easing of the refugee crisis depends on a controversial deal | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Turkey, clamping down on the migrants, in exchange | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
for visa-free travel to much of Europe. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
But the European Parliament is insisting that first, Turkey must | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Turkey says it has done enough and the whole | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
So there is a risk of a migrant crisis returning. | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
The developments are being followed closely in Germany, where most | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
of the previous refugees went and by the referendum | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
You can get more on our website and smart-phone app. | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
We've explained this crisis in seven charts, | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
looking at the numbers of people arriving and | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
mapping their journeys - just go to BBC.com?news, | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
World football's governing body, FIFA, has served notice that radical | :07:22. | :07:31. | |
changes are intended for the organisation by making | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
a surprise appointment of a new Secretary General. | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
FIFA president Gianni Infantino told the organization's annual | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
congress in Mexico City that Senegalese UN diplomat Fatma Samoura | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
is the first female secretary general in the history | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
of the male-dominated world football organisation. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
She is working since 21 years in the United Nations. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
She is a great person, she is used to managing big | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
organisations and she will bring a fresh wind to Fifa. | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
Somebody from outside, not somebody from inside. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Not somebody from the past but somebody new. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Lizzie Greenwood Hughes joins us from the BBC Sport Centre. | :08:14. | :08:30. | |
What do we know about her? We know that she's 54 years old and | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
speaks for damages and she spent most of her career working for the | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
United Nations, specialising in the development and working a lot in | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
Africa. She's pretty working in Nigeria. We also know that she has | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
never worked in football. It is interesting because this is going to | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
be the number two interesting because this is going to | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
football. She will be the right-hand woman now to the Fifa president. | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
The former president was banned. She's never worked in football but | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
as the president said she is this new face. She will be part of the | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
shake up and has a proven ability to lead teams, she also understands | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
that transparency and accountability are at the heart of any well-run and | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
responsible organisation and that is in response to all the scandals that | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
have been surrounding Fifa and world football over recent years. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
I said earlier that it does serve notice that radical changes really | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
are ahead. Will this be enough to settle peoples opinions about Fifa | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
and where it is going and where has been? | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
That is a big question. Will it be enough? Who knows. Fifa has a long | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
way to go. They have a lot of the bridges to build. There is been this | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
awful cloud hanging over the organisation for many years now. | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
Will appoint one lady to the second-in-command role, the | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Secretary General role, will that be enough? We'll have to wait and see. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
It is a start. They're really trying to make a difference. They have | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
appointed a woman for the first time to the second most important job in | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
people. That has to be a start. Any think about how women's football is | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
been on the rise of the recent years packed there is little bit more for | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
people to do but we can only hope that this will make a difference. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
Now a look at some of the day's other news. | :10:31. | :10:42. | |
We're getting reports of an attack on a supporters club of the football | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
As many as 14 people are reported to have been killed in the shooting | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
which happened in the predominately Shia town of Balad - about 130 | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
A group of men are reported to have entered the building an opened fire. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Witnesses claim they were from Islamic State. | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
The Ugandan opposition leader has been charged with treason. He was | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
the main challenger to the president in recent elections. He insists he | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
was the rightful winner and held a mock swearing in ceremony earlier | :11:12. | :11:12. | |
this week. The US Secret Service has said it | :11:13. | :11:12. | |
will investigate the former butler of the Republican presidential | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
candidate, Donald Trump, over Facebook posts calling | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
for President Obama to be killed. Anthony Senecal, | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
who's 84, and served as Mr Trump's butler until 2009, | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
confirmed he wrote the posts, some A spokeswoman for Mr Trump | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
distanced his campaign Thousands of people have turned out | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
in Beirut for the funeral of one of Hezbollah's top leaders, | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
Mustafa Badreddine. Hezbollah announced earlier today | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
that he'd been killed in Syria where he was reportedly | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
the movement's senior commander. His funeral is taking place | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
in the southern suburbs of Beirut Rami Ruhayem is there | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
and describes the atmosphere. Yes, we are in the middle | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
of the funeral procession As you can see it is a very | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
crowded funeral procession. Just a few minutes ago, | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
Hezbollah supporters were firing their guns in the air | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
and there was quite an emotional scene as the body of | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
Mustafa Badreddine, the Hezbollah military commander went past us, | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
along this street on to the cemetery As you mentioned, it is not clear | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
at all whom Hezbollah They issued two statements this | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
morning, where they announced that The first contains very little | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
detail, only an implicit reference that the assassination | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
took place in Syria. The second one contained | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
a little bit more detail. It said he was killed in a large | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
explosion close to the Damascus International Airport, | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
and they said in the statement that the explosion could have been | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
caused by an air strike, or by artillery fire, | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
or by a missile attack, so that leaves the door open | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
for many different possibilities, including an assassination | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
by the Israelis, especially But there are also | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
other possibilities. Just a few minutes ago, | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
before the funeral procession, the deputy leader of Hezbollah | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
was speaking, and he said, that Hezbollah, within the next few hour, | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
will make an announcement about who they think | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
is behind the assassination, and will take whatever action | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
they choose to take depending Canadian Prime Minister Justin | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
Trudeau is visiting the fire-ravaged town of Fort McMurray - | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
meeting people who have been on the front lines | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
of the devastating blaze. The efforts have been hampered | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
by high temperatures Our correspondent Rajini | :13:44. | :13:44. | |
Vaidyanathan has more. Canada's prime Minster is meeting | :13:45. | :13:58. | |
with some of the firefighters and rescue workers who helped battle | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
those wildfires. He will be meeting them in Fort big muddy itself. It | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
was devastated by those powerful wildfires. The worst of those fires | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
have moved away from the residential areas but people still are not able | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
to enter the area apart from contractors and some of the workers | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
who were helping to try and rebuild that area. We were given access | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
yesterday to Fort McMurray and it really was shocking to see how | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
powerful those wildfires really well. You walked along some streets | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
where houses on one side were perfectly intact and you just had to | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
turn around to see a family home produced to just the foundations, | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
ash and cinder. It was like a children's book just left in the | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
remaining rubble. It really is heartbreaking. We saw cars that have | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
been left as burnt out shells and green grass which is now black suit | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
in large parts of Fort McMurray. 90,000 people were forced to flee | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
their homes. It is remarkable when you see those pictures of those | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
atrocious claims that no one lost their lives. There are tens of | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
thousands of people without a home. Many do not know what has happened | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
to their houses because about 80% of Fort McMurray was indeed saved but | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
it will take some time for people to be able to move back into the area. | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
That is a question that people will have four the Prime Minister. They | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
want answers. How long will it take before they can go back home? You | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
want to know what has happened to their homes in the first place. The | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Government has given people hear about 1200 and the Canadian dollars | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
as a lump sum payment to help them out but many people say they are not | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
going to be able to for weeks. They are homeless and they have to start | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
paying rent when they start moving out of some of the emergency | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
accommodation that they have been provided with so they don't know how | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
they are going to survive for the weeks and months to come. | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
In India, the River Ganges is the most sacred river to Hindus, | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
But it's highly polluted and now the government has launched | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
an ambitious three-billion-dollar programme to clean up the river | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
The river flows across northern India and into Bangladesh - | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
and one sign of the pollution is the fall in the numbers of Dolphins. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
In the second part of our special series on India's | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
greatest and most sacred - our South Asia Correspondent, | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
Justin Rowlatt went to the shores of the Ganges, and got rather lucky. | :16:24. | :16:36. | |
This is the holiest city in all India. But just take a look at this. | :16:37. | :16:52. | |
It is also a huge source of pollution. The ancient practices of | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
Riverside cremation are one tiny part of it. A far bigger problem is | :17:00. | :17:11. | |
the waste of the living. We can only treat a third of the | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
sewage. The city generates more than litres of waste. You rest go | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
straight into the Ganges. The figures elsewhere on the river | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
are even worse. Independent studies show 18% of sewage is untreated. The | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
Government says it plans to big massive new waste treatment | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
infrastructure, environmentalists say it cannot come soon enough for | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
at least one clean species. The hope was that we might be able | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
to spot the incredibly rare dolphin. And incredibly, within minutes of | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
arriving here I saw the dorsal bin of one of them breaks the water and | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
the real challenge I think is going to be filming them. We've got a | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
boat. This is the cameraman. How difficult do you think it will be to | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
film the dolphins? We have seen a couple. It is quite | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
tough and caused pop-ups suddenly. You are an expert on the dolphins. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
One of the programmes is to protect this rare animal. How rare is the | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
dolphin? The dolphin is an Endangered Species | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
and it is rare to spot these animals. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Today there were a dolphins all around us. | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
Six or seven. They have to service every two minutes or so to breathe. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
The challenges guessing where they are going to be. After a bit, he | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
gets his eye in and just look at this. This has been extraordinary. I | :18:57. | :19:07. | |
never expected to see anything like as many dolphins as we have seen. It | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
is such incredibly good news because what it tells us is this river is | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
capable of supporting these wonderful animals and it also shows | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
us what is at stake. I'd is so important that the Indian | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
Government's efforts to clean up this river succeed. | :19:24. | :19:36. | |
And you can see Justin's film - Killing The Ganges | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
on Our World this weekend - Saturday and Sunday | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
evening at 8.30 GMT - that's 4.30pm in New York - | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
Still in China - and Apple is moving into the taxi industry - | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
investing a billion dollars into the Chinese version of Uber. | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
It's called Didi Chuxing - a car-hailing app | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
which claims to have almost 90- per cent of the Chinese market. | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
In January, its major rival - Uber - admitted it is losing | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
more than a billion dollars a year in China - | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
spending huge sums to subsidise discounted rides. | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
Chinese company Didi Chuxing has just received a 1 billion US dollar | :20:11. | :20:28. | |
investment from Apple and it could change the fate of the taxi industry | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
in this country. How? I will explain. Didi Chuxing operates a | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
phone app. The fall it came along the only way to get hold of a cab in | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
this country was to get out into the street and try and hail one. Then | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
along came Didi Chuxing and changed everything. And there it is. You can | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
see the taxis available in this area. And here is my account. -- | :20:56. | :21:10. | |
might have. With the introduction of this app Chinese people have been | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
able to leapfrog into the future. One day they cannot order a taxi at | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
all, the next they are communicating with the driver, they conceive a | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
drive up's real-time location and now you should try hailing a cab in | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
a major Chinese city. You cannot get one because the drivers are rotating | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
these bookings. However. Temp two has made and it bends of push into | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
China and is popular with more affluent customers. Didi Chuxing has | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
responded with its own premium car service. And now with this extra | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
injection of money from Apple it is hoping it can expand its service and | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
hoping it can expand its service and stable any challenge from Uber. | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
Now considering her earnings, you'd think the tennis champion, | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
Serena Williams, could probably afford to eat anything she wanted, | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
but, get this, she's admitted to eating dog food. | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
The star - playing at the Italian open - | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
says she ordered a gourmet dish from her hotel's "dog | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
She said it looked so good - she ate a spoonful. | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
I order him this salmon and rice because I thought, ie salmon. So I | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
ordered the salmon and rice and before you judge me, look at it. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
That is the salmon and rice. It is kind of all mixed together, right? I | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
mean, come on. It looks good. I think it looks good. I thought I | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
would try apiece, it looks good. So I eat a spoonful. Don't judge me. | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
IAEA spoonful. So now I feel really sick. It was just a spoonful. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
Well, at least it had no long lasting effects - | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
the tennis star made it through to the quarter-finals | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
Now to a remote corner of Ireland, where some residents are 'feeling | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
the force.' The filming of the next Star Wars film is rumoured to be | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
starting in the country's most northern point - | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
So could the wildly successful films mean a boom in tourism | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
On land, far far away. Already as far north as you can go on the | :23:22. | :23:38. | |
island of Ireland. Strange visitors from other worlds have been | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
arriving. By which I mean the strange world of Hollywood. There | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
have been weeks of preparation near Malin Head but local people have | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
been sworn to secrecy about this shoot for the new star Wars film. | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
I can't give too much away because I don't know too much about it and the | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
little bit I do know they've asked me to keep confidential. In fact, | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
confidentiality. Those agreements have not stop the | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
speculation. Many believe that the rocks along the rugged coastline, | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
this could be the millennium for Ken or at the very least another | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
spaceship. It is the dramatic coastline which is the attraction. | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
And the cameras are due to head back south near to the historic monastic | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
retreat where filming took place the first time. But for the minute, it | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
is the most northerly tip where they are hoping the power of the bourse | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
and this blockbuster film franchise will put interests. | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
This is going to make a massive difference to the tourist is that | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
will come to the north-west. It is going to be bigger than people can | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
imagine. A few fanatic fans have already | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
arrived in Donegal, apparently from the dark side. But despite | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
appearances, the visitors seem very friendly. After all, this is a place | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
where even a storm trooper can PC eight the scenery. | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
Now to a powerful volcanic eruption in Costa Rica that's been | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
spectacularly captured by a thermal camera. | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
The active Turrialba Volcano spread ash across the country | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
after its explosion measured three kilometres over | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
The national park where it is located is usually open | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
to visitors but increased activity for the past two years has forced | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
You can get in touch with stories or tweet me. | :25:35. | :25:47. | |
But for now, from me and the rest of the team, goodbye | :25:48. | :26:04. | |
This weekend will be cooler than last weekend by several degrees but | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
there is still reasonable weather on offer. Earlier today we sell the | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
cloud melt away. Showers in the south and west but it is this cloud | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
which is of interest because it is a cold front moving its way south. The | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
colder is falling | :26:23. | :26:23. |
