erupted for more than 16 hours on sunday. on monday, again, it sent a torrent of superheated rock, ash and mud speeding down its slopes at up to 100 km/h. the volcano is about a0 kilometres south—west of the capital, guatemala city. from there, aleem maqbool reports. as spectacular and dramatic as it was destructive and deadly. in its most violent eruption in decades, the volcan de fuego, volcano of fire, exploded in a massive shower of molten rock and ash. the plumes rose several miles into the air. in one village, fascination with what was going on quickly turned to terror, as hot ash shot towards onlookers. fast—moving rivers of burning mud and debris spread chaos. in the panic, family members were split up, children separated from their

parents, and many are still missing. translation: i only managed to find two children alive last night. my two daughters, grandson and my son are missing, together with my entire family. and entire villages were blanketed in a suffocating layer of hot ash. it is clear many stood little chance of getting away. those who did have been left shell—shocked, next to bodies of people who died in the village of el rodeo, an elderly man sits. "look at the state i'm in," he says. recovery workers continue to look for survivors or for more bodies, but they do that in the shadow of a volcano that could erupt again at any time. translation: the challenge we've faced is that the volcano has been active, and also the

difficulty of working with this kind of material, which is extremely hot. many rescuers reported their shoes melted into the ground as they worked. three days of mourning have been declared for all those who have bene killed, those whose bodies have been recovered, and those who have yet to be found. but all the time, there's still this sense, this fear, that more is yet to come. there have been subsequent explosions, and there's even been an earthquake just off guatemala in recent hours, as well. and that's why peopel are still reeling from that huge, major eruption. this was always known to be an active volcano, but an eruption as big as this that has claimed so many lives, was beyond living memory. now, a new generation knows the horrors of what the volcano of fire can bring. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in guatemala. some breaking news now: paul manafort, the former campaign manager for donald trump, attempted to tamper with potential witnesses.

that news comes from court filings by the special prosecutor robert mueller. he is, as you know, investigating alleged collusion between the trump campaign and russia. it is reported that mr mueller has evidence that mr manafort called, sent text messages and encrypted messages to two people in february, to influence their testimony and to otherwise conceal evidence. the catalogue of problems which led to grenfell tower in west london being engulfed in flames has been revealed at the official start of the public inquiry. one official report presented at the inquiry said the fire brigade's policy of telling people to stay in their homes had effectively failed. another said the tower‘s cladding didn't meet building regulations and was incorrectly installed. 72 people died in the blaze, nearly a year ago. lucy manning's report contains images from the night which were shown at the inquiry. you may find some distressing. asleep in the safety of their homes,

but this building was a deathtrap, a majorfire hazard. devastating details revealed to the inquiry how grenfell was covered in material that would burn easily, that wasn't properly tested, and how, once covered in flames, the fire brigade's strategy telling residents to stay in theirflats failed. the burnt—out kitchen of flat i6 on the fourth floor, where the fire started, and then spread. the 999 call from the resident who escaped from here, heard for the first time. videos played to the inquiry showed just how quickly the fire spread

up and across. at first, it is just on the fourth floor. 20 minutes after the 999 call, it is up the side of the building. my yard, that's my yard. it's in my yard. half an hour after it started, it reached the top of the tower, when the inquiry‘s experts said the fire brigade's "stay put" advice failed. the fundamental question which lies at the heart of our work is how, in london, in 2017, a domestic fire developed so quickly and so catastrophically that an entire high—rise block was engulfed. the inquiry‘s experts found the main cause of the fire spreading was the cladding, which was flammable and hadn't been properly tested. new windows had been installed,

also made of material that burnt easily, and new fire doors were put in that weren't fire—compliant. the bereaved have told the inquiry many more would have survived if the fire brigade hadn't told families to stay in their flats for so long. the inquiry‘s report said this stay—put advice effectively failed at 1:26am in the morning, but it continued even though a major incident was declared at 2:06am. the advice to stay put was eventually dropped at 2:47am, nearly two hours into the fire. it's clear to see that at 1:14am that the building is done, it's clearly spreading fast, the fire is uncontrollable, people need to get out. we have to ask the tough question, why was it that the "stay put" policy was not changed 7 71 people did not make it out, and the inquiry says it would need to examine whether the failure

to change that advice made all the difference between life and death. lucy manning, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: howard schultz, who is credited with turning starbucks into an international coffee chain, is stepping down. starbucks had 11 stores in seattle when hejoined in 1982, and now has more than 28,000. the company has recently been mired in a racial discrimination row. it is thought howard schultz may be planning to enter politics. doctors say the liverpool goalkeeper loris karius sustained a concussion during last month's champions league final defeat by real madrid. he was blamed for two of the goals in the 3—1 defeat. medical experts can't say for sure when the injury was sustained, but believe it would have had an immediate effect on his performance. an early landscape by vincent van gogh has sold for more than $8 million at auction in paris. painted in 1882, the picture shows women working on the land, inspired by the countryside around the hague. it is the first van gogh auctioned in france for more than 20 years, and was bought by a buyer in the us.

protestors in jordan are saying they will keep on with their demonstrations even though the prime minister has resigned. they want plans to raise prices and taxes scrapped. jordan's foreign minister has promised to respect the demands of the public. our correspondent mark lowen covered the protests and sent this report. the jordanian government thought that the resignation of the prime minister would extinguish these protests, well, this is their answer. for yet another night in central amman, the protesters have gathered. demonstrators have tried to break through the police lines, there have been scuffles, on the whole peaceful, but a lot of anger at the austerity measures this government is pursuing. there is some celebration this year that a prime minister who was deeply unpopular has been forced out. but they feel that what's needed here is

not a change of personnel but of policy. austerity policies that they say have hit the poorest hardest. every other week they do something new. they raise the prices, they raise the prices of electricity, or petrol, or anything. it raise the prices of electricity, or petrol, oranything. it is raise the prices of electricity, or petrol, or anything. it is very unjust for the people. we have one of the highest numbers of syrian refugees, in a country that barely... doesn't have much resources to sort of accommodate these huge numbers. and we need aid in orderto these huge numbers. and we need aid in order to provide the necessary services. they say that it is the fundamental economic inequality in jordan that needs to change, and u nless jordan that needs to change, and unless that happens, these protests, the biggestjordan has seen in several years, will continue to grow. a former american intelligence officer has been arrested by the fbi, accused of attempting to spy on the us for china. ron rockwell hansen was taken into custody by the fbi as he was heading for an airport

on a north korean spy ship. and now, after three decades in a south koreanjail, he wants to go home to a family he hasn't seen since 1962. translation: i was very young and i was very much in love with my family in north korea. we were inseparable and had a lot of fun. but despite all that, i came to the south because my country was suffering. prison life was very hard. why? in south korea's society, you needed to convert ideology. and they tortured me for any small reason because i did not. he hopes the current talks will result in him going home, but he does not trust the us as he believes they are responsible for dividing the two koreas. translation: when you see people go on tv and talk about denuclearisation, talk about denuclearisation, pfft, the foreigners came and divided us and made us fight each other. if they were nice to us and helped

us, why would we create nukes? yang soon—gil says he was not a spy but was jailed for over 30 years anyway. he now has a wife and family in south korea, and yet he still wants to return to pyongyang. translation: i discussed it with my family and said she said, "please go." "when good days come, we will meet again." you may say i am brainwashed by socialism, but i am a voluntary communist having built my conviction injail. it's this kind of conviction which worries right—wing nationalists in south korea. they protest every week in seoul, concerned the aim of north korea is to unify both koreas under one ruler and one communist idealogy. can you have freedom like we have enjoyed of now? are there people in north korea as happy as we are?

north korea is the worst dictatorship in the world. such kind of dictatorism cannot keep their promise. in truth, south koreans simply want peace, but not one that comes at a cost. over the last 70 years, south koreans have overcome a military dictatorship, become a democracy and created an economic miracle. even if they do manage to get rid of the barbed wire at the border, overcoming the social and ideological differences between the two koreas might be far more difficult. laura bicker, bbc news, seoul. a teenagerfrom london has become the youngest woman in the uk convicted of planning a terrorist attack for islamic state. safaa boular was 17 when she was arrested

and who was part of britain's all woman cell, along with her sister and mother. they were planning to separate attacks. —— two separate attacks. mention the term lobbyist, and you probably think of shady deals in back rooms. but kayla mckewan is definitely breaking that mould. she is the first person who has downs syndrome to be given the right to lobby in washington. we caught up with her on capitol hill. here's her story. kayla mckewan there on capitol hill. if you've ever fancied the idea of buying your very own dinosaur, and you've a spare $2 million, you're too late i'm afraid. it's the price this dinosaur skeleton fetched at auction in paris just a few hours ago. it dates from 150 million years ago and it was found in wyoming in the united states. it could be a new species of therapod, related to tyrannosaurus rex. but there has also been criticism of the auction. many palaeontologists feel sales to private buyers mean valuable fossils are being lost to science. while there are many fossil

specimens that are coming out of private lands like this, and this specimen, as far as we can tell, was legally collected, it was exported from the us to france for the sale. our problem lies here in the fact that these specimen was auctioned in a very public manner, and in a way that was geared particularly to engage a lot of people in the sale and ultimately to raise up the price of the specimen itself. some people have looked at the specimen and there have been some suggestions that it contains some new features that it contains some new features that may be different, but actually the only way whether we can tell if it's a new species or not is for scientists to study it in the first place. to that breaking news this hour and us special counsel robert mueller has applied to have trump's former campaign manager paul manafort taken into custody, he's accusing him of

trying to tamper with potential witnesses in the investigation. us intelligence agencies believe russia tried to sway the 2016 election in favour of mr trump. tried to sway the 2016 election in favourof mrtrump. mr tried to sway the 2016 election in favour of mr trump. mr bob mueller is looking at allegations of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. this relates to a tax and russia. this relates to a tax and lobbying case against mr manafort. mr manafort has been on release up until now before his trial. that's it for now, thank you for watching. good morning. the best of the sunshine on monday was out to the west, particular south—west wales. for most of us it was a pretty grey, cloudy start to our new working week, wasn't it? in fact, this weather watcher's picture sums it up quite nicely, the cloud thick enough for the odd spot or two of drizzle. we start like that for many today, but fingers crossed conditions will improve later on. now, it's a very quiet weather story right throughout the week across the uk, with high—pressure

sitting up into the north, and this north—easterly flow. now, that's responsible for driving in this cloud through the night, and it makes for a pretty grey, murky start. but, as we go through the day, it does look as though the cloud will start to thin and break and push its way down into south wales and south—west england. here, it could stay little disappointing, but with more sunshine coming through, temperatures will peak perhaps at around 20 degrees. not as warm as it has been, but nevertheless pleasant in the sun. now, as we move through tuesday night into wednesday morning, we see more cloud spilling in off the north sea coast. elsewhere, we'll have some clearer skies and a slightly cooler night. a little more comfortable for those trying to sleep in, with single figures pretty much for most of us. so we start off on wednesday, then, on a slightly fresher note. still some grey, low cloud spilling in off north sea coasts, but on wednesday we have a greater chance of seeing more sunshine coming through.

so after that cooler start, temperatures will respond, with more sun and highs likely at 23 degrees in the south—east, and maybe in sheltered eastern areas of scotland, temperatures will be in the low 20s as well. but, as we move into wednesday night through thursday morning, there's the risk of the potential for some thundery downpours pushing up through the channel, so we'll need to keep a close eye on that. they'll still be lingering, potentially, first thing on thursday morning. the further north you go, we'll have some decent spells of sunshine, and just a little bit of cloud just spilling in off the north sea. if that happens, temperatures 16 to 18 degrees, the highest values likely of 22 degrees, that's 72 fahrenheit. the high pressure still stays with us, the isobars widely spaced, which means light winds and not much change in the weather pattern as we move towards the end of the working week. so, again, we start off with cloudy conditions first thing in the morning. the cloud should break up, we'll see some sunshine coming through, but always the risk, potentially down to the south, of a few sharp, possibly thundery showers developing. highs likely of 15—22 degrees, and not much change as we move into the weekend.

it stays predominantly dry, with some sunshine, always the chance of seeing one or two showers perhaps into the south—east corner. that's it, take care. this is bbc news. the headlines: the deadliest volcanic eruption in more than a century has left at least 62 people dead and many more are missing in guatemala. it came after the volcano known as fuego, or fire, erupted for more than 16 hours on sunday. the volcano is just a few kilometres from the capital, guatemala city. the grenfell fire inquiry has been told how the blaze started and why the fire doors were all factors in the fire spreading so rapidly. the inquiry was told the cladding didn't meet building regulations and was incorrectly installed. 72 people died in the fire in west london. paul manafort, former campaign managerfor donald paul manafort, former campaign manager for donald trump, paul manafort, former campaign managerfor donald trump, tried paul manafort, former campaign manager for donald trump, tried to
