Hawaii volcano eruption: Dozens of homes destroyed by lava flows as thousands fleeThe number of homes destroyed by Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has risen to 35, with the thousands of residents who have been evacuated still none the wiser on when they might be able to return. Hawaii County officials said a further four unspecified buildings had also been destroyed by lava and warned that fissures created by the main eruption are also causing steam and toxic gasses to vent out unpredictably. Residents said the lava which threatens their homes and livelihoods was a "fact of life" when living at the foot of Kilauea (pronounced kill-ah-way-ah), one of the world's most active volcanos.

Leopard snatches and eats toddler in Ugandan national park 

Posted: 07 May 2018 06:37 AM PDT

Leopard snatches and eats toddler in Ugandan national park Ugandan authorities are hunting for a leopard in Queen Elizabeth National park  after it snatched and ate a ranger's three-year-old son.  The toddler had been left in the care of a nanny at the unfenced staff quarters of a safari lodge in the park, when he was taken by the leopard on Friday night. Wildlife authority spokesman Bashir Hangi said the child had followed the nanny outdoors. "The maid was not aware the child followed her. She heard the kid scream for help, she intervened but it was too late the leopard had vanished with it in the bush and a search was mounted until we got the skull the next day," he said. "The hunt is on with the intention of capturing the leopard and removing it from the wild because once it has eaten human flesh, the temptations are high to eat another human being, it becomes dangerous," he added. The sun sets over Lake George near Uganda's Queen Elizabeth National Park in western Uganda, Queen Elizabeth is Uganda's most-visited national park, with tourists flocking to watch leopards roam the Mweya Peninsula, which lies beside Lake Edward. The park also hosts African buffalo, Nile crocodile, lions and chimpanzees.  The attack comes just a week after a British safari park owner was attacked by a lion in South Africa.  Mike Hodge, 71, suffered a broken jaw after he was mauled in Marakele Animal Sanctuary in Thabazimbi. Mr Hodge had been showing visitors around the park when the big cat charged him and dragged him into some bushes. Video footage of the incident showed terrified tourists screaming for help as the lion mauled its victim. Keepers eventually killed the 10-year-old lion, named Samba, and Mr Hodge was taken to hospital.   Two years ago, in South Africa, a year a six-year-old boy was snatched by a leopard at Kruger National park, but the youngster escaped with his life.  Kellan Denny was playing with his brother on a wall when the leopard sunk its teeth into his shoulder and dragged him away.  Big Cats Worldwide However, the leopard let go of the traumatised boy, allowing his father to rush in and carry him to safety.  The incident was the first of its kind in 40 years, according to a spokesman for Kruger National Park.

Earthquakes, lava fissures could last for months on Hawaii - USGS

Posted: 05 May 2018 06:50 PM PDT

Earthquakes, lava fissures could last for months on Hawaii - USGSBy Karin Stanton PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - More homes on Hawaii's Big Island were destroyed on Saturday as eruptions linked to the Kilauea volcano increased, spewing lava into residential areas and forcing nearly 2,000 people to evacuate, officials said. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said on Saturday that several new lava fissures had opened in the Leilani Estates subdivision of Puna District, about a dozen miles (19 km) from the volcano. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said at midday local time on Saturday that "eruptive activity is increasing and is expected to continue." Janet Babb, a spokeswoman for the observatory, said by telephone that the eruptions could carry on "for weeks or months." Babb said the activity since Thursday is beginning to show similarities to another event in the area in 1955 that lasted for 88 days, when far fewer people lived near the volcano.

Nearly 200 horses found dead on Navajo land in drought-hit Arizona 

Posted: 06 May 2018 09:21 PM PDT

Nearly 200 horses found dead on Navajo land in drought-hit Arizona The animals lie in neat circles around the pond that was supposed to sustain them as spring temperature rose and water became harder to find. Instead, they collapsed in the mud, exhausted and weakened from drought. Almost 200 feral horses have been found dead around a pond in Navajo land in northern Arizona, according to tribal leaders, the victims of overpopulation and dwindling water resources. Jonathan Nez, vice president of Navajo Nation, said the deaths were an annual problem that had been getting worse. "These horses weren't shot or maliciously killed by an individual," he said. "These animals were searching for water to stay alive. Navajo leaders say they see same problems every year as a result of growing herds of feral animals Credit: AP "In the process, they, unfortunately burrowed themselves into the mud and couldn't escape because they were so weak." Photographs show the carcases of dozens of horses were they had fallen around the stock pond in Gray Mountain. Tribal officials say they are struggling to cope with a feral population that has grown to as many as 70,000 feral horses on the Navajo Nation. Animals were once accustomed to finding water at the stock pond, but locals say it has dried up more quickly in recent years. Skeletal remains close to the pond Credit: AP This time around a particularly dry winter has made conditions even worse. In California it made for a season of extreme wildfires while New Mexico and Arizona are still struggling with intense water shortages.  "This tragic incident exemplifies the problem the Navajo Nation faces in an overpopulation of feral horses," said President Russell Begaye. Federal and tribal officials have begun the gruesome business of disposing of their remains, spreading hydrated lime over the animals before burying them. In all, they counted 191 carcases. "The horses are anywhere from thigh to neck deep in the mud. Some are even buried beneath others," said Nina Chester, of the office of the president. "This is our most humane and safest option." The plan is to cover over the pond completely, redirecting its meagre water flows elsewhere.

Erdogan vows new military campaigns as he launches manifesto 

Posted: 06 May 2018 11:57 AM PDT

Erdogan vows new military campaigns as he launches manifesto Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday promised new military operations against Kurdish militants along its border in Syria and Iraq as he presented his election manifesto. Speaking before thousands of supporters in Istanbul on Sunday, Erdogan described next month's snap presidential and parliamentary polls as a "milestone" for a strong Turkey. The country would "take the stage as a global power," he vowed. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addresses the members of his ruling party in Giresun, Turkey Erdogan called elections more than a year earlier than planned for June 24 - a move analysts say partly aims to capitalize on nationalist sentiment running high following a successful campaign that ousted Syrian Kurdish militia from the Syrian border enclave of Afrin. "In the new term, Turkey will add new operations to the Euphrates Shield and Olive Branch operations," Erdogan said in reference to a cross-border offensive in Syria 2016 and to the one in Afrin. "The operations will continue until not one terrorist is left." The elections are hugely important as they will transform Turkey's governing system to an executive presidency, ushering in a constitutional change that was narrowly approved in a referendum last year. As part of the reforms, the office of the prime minister will be abolished, with its powers largely transferred to the president. An alliance of opposition parties, who argue the new system will lead to one-man rule, have vowed a return to a parliamentary system with strong checks and balances. Aiming to ease fears over Turkey's economy, Erdogan promised lower interest rates and inflation and to reduce the current account deficit.
