Rumbling volcano spews out ash cloud into sky during 'rocket launch style' eruption
Paramushir Island, Kuril Islands, Russia, is considered a highly active Somma volcano.Video captured by photographer Elena Kotenko on Sunday (February 7) shows the volcano waking up after a three-month calm period in the eruptive activity.Ashes and gas plumes can be seen spewing out of the volcano's crater as it sends piles of snow and ice to the sky.The activities are often described as "rocket launches" as the billows of smoke and the rumbling sounds made it resemble a spacecraft preparing to take off.According to Volcano Discovery, the eruption was likely a "phreatic" or hydrothermal explosion due to the interaction of snow and ice causes explosions at contact with lava."The height of the ash and gas plume is unknown and was not reported by the observatory nor by VAAC yet, but from available imagery seems to be several hundred meters above the summit," it read."Ebeko is one of the most active volcanoes at the Kuril islands."Russian Emergency Situations Ministry reported the last eruption of ash in the Ebeko was in November when it threw a column of dust at a height of 2.5km.Viewers were stunned when they watched the video."Even the eruption is white in Northern Siberia," one wrote and a second said: "The first few seconds look like Sarlacc [a Star Wars character] coming at you."Last week in Guatemala, a large explosion has been heard for miles around after Volcan du Fuego (Volcano of Fire) erupted and deposited molten lava.The activity at the volcano was spotted by cameras and could be seen from long distances.National Seismological agency of Guatemala tweeted on Wednesday (February 2) that "a column of ash at approximately 4,500 metres above sea level was seen, in addition to expelling incandescent material (lava,

'Needs a bit of a rocket up his bum!' Lorraine Kelly details her Keir Starmer frustrations
 ITV presenter Lorraine Kelly has suggested that Sir Keir Starmer “needs a wee bit of a rocket up his bum”.The journalist reflected on what she perceived as missed opportunities on Starmer’s end when the Tory government had sometimes left him with an “open goal”. Kelly, 62, opened up in an interview about her thoughts on Labour leader Starmer, as well as the government’s recent #partygate scandal.Amid the seemingly endless drama pertaining to the conservative party in recent weeks, Kelly was asked how she felt Starmer was handling it all. She replied: “He seems a very decent man, but maybe needs a wee bit of a rocket up his bum?“Because there are times where there does seem to be an open goal and you’re like … Aaarrrrgghhh!” she yelled in frustration during her interview with the Guardian.In the wake of the revelations that Downing Street had allegedly enjoyed many boozy parties at a time when the rest of the country was locked down and forbidden from seeing their loved ones, Kelly seemed similarly frustrated. She admitted that she was astonished by the news at first and insisted that an inquiry wasn’t really necessary, as the evidence was plain to see. “Just when you think you can’t make it up!” she told the interviewer.“Jesus, honestly, if they told me now that they’d had a masked ball for 1,000 people, like the Met ball or something, I’d just go: ‘Yeah, yep.’ “And why on earth do they need an inquiry into it? “If I said to you: ‘So, you went for a wee coffee today at Starbucks?’ you either did or you didn’t; you don’t need an inquiry into that!”While Prime Minister Boris Johnson has somewhat apologised for the upset he had caused, he has also maintained that he “didn’t believe he had broken any laws” and has refused
