Canary Islands volcano continues to erupt for a sixth day

Rivers of lava and ash have been pouring out of a volcano in the Canary Islands for a sixth day running, forcing three more villages to be evacuated.

Almost seven thousand people in La Palma have now had to leave their homes, with residents warned that they can’t return to get their belongings because the volcano has now entered a “new explosive phase”.
