but the full extent is still unknown. ships carrying supplies are still 3 days away . also coming up after meeting with ukrainian leaders, german foreign minister. molina burbock is in moscow to try to diffuse tensions as fears mount of her russian invasion of ukraine. and another boon for the buddhist league as by a munich striker. holborn, live on dorski, is named 5th as best men's player for the 2nd year in a row. ah, i'm good. how else has well come to the program? united nations says the pacific island nation of tongue has suffered significant damage in saturday's volcanic eruption. the 1st images are starting to emerge after new zealand and australia sent surveillance plane to the area. communication has

been limited after the countries only internet cable was caught. new zealand is also sending ships carrying water and other supplies. but planes can't land because of a blanket of ash covering the main airports runway a prelude to a vile interruption. on friday, the hunger tongue hung to hot by volcano, sent plumes of smoke and dash shooting into the sky activity that soon decreased. it would prove to be a brief rest spice. the next day, the volcano rumbled to life again in an explosion so powerful, it sent shock waves around the world. before and after socialize images show had the volcano sea level krazer had disappeared following the blast. with regular communication lines to tongue across all the worlds been relying on stuff like phones and images to get a sense of the disaster are we are still waiting to receive

information from tara, what is much needed, but we know for sure that there will be a need for clean water because of the options and which really they mention causing lots of our troubles to the water supply. as most of the people collect water through rain, this is something very dangerous for them to consume. a new zealand have sent surveillance flights to help assess the scale of the damage, especially on target islands, where there are fears the devastation could be immense. joining us now, it's shame cronin a vulcan ologist from the university of oakland saying that we know more now about the situation until after the surveillance flies by new zealand and australian plains. yeah, good morning. we do, we doing

a lot more and also some of the satellite imagery that's been collected through the you in the program. and so we've seen extensive damage due to this, you know, me and also ash fall across most of the islands. thankfully the school is not too thick, so mainly around 2 centimeters thick on the main island upon the top and some of the other islands to the north have looked like they have a little thick ash. and. and then this nami damage is mainly confined to 2 or 3 very low lying islands with this major damage. most of the others have relatively well major damage, but not the live site. it's not affecting a lot of we have the housing is. so we spoke at 24 hours ago and then you were somewhat optimistic that damage and tone by itself from the option was not that bad . i use still optimistic about that. i think the damage is slightly

more than what i was expecting. and the, the actual damage is about what we were expecting. so that 2 centimeters of ash is not enough to, to damage structures. but obviously it needs to be clean from the, from the s trip. and also it, it needs to be worth supplies need to be secured. and as your previous correspondence mentioned, around 80 percent of tongue and, and use rain water supplies, particularly outside the main and the main settlement of nicole. ok, is there any danger of more eruptions? you think is there is and so we're working on very simple scenarios. the largest of the scenarios would be the concern that the upper part of the volcano is now very unstable. so after the initial reaction,

the top part of the volcano now is going to be fractured. it's changed shape a lot. and the concern is that new magnet, rather than that of all kind of system, it could, it could cause more instability, and therefore more exposure being. so that's the worst case scenario we're planning for. the other scenarios would be the gas brits magnet has now been arrested from the system. and so that the next lot of magma may have an easier pass to the surface and the, your options maybe slightly smaller. so those are the 2 scenarios we're looking at . and because there's no monitoring possible on the volcano at the moment, we really are relying on having frequent visual observations via satellite imagery to see what is happening at the inside same corner, then volcanoes from the university of oakland. thank you. thanks for the interest.

again. germany informing us on alina babel has told russia it will pay a quote high price, if it invades ukraine. babble is in moscow for talks today to try to diffuse what she calls a highly dangerous situation. as russia maintains a, it's build up of troops at the border at a meeting with ukrainian leaders on monday she said berlin would do all it could to guarantee key of security. fear. so for russian invasion of ukraine have jangle nerves here in the region. after visiting a memorial to anti government protesters who died in 2014, on the lena bear box as any solution to the conflict, must come through dialogue, not arms, meeting ukraine's foreign minister to me. ciocca labor burbock offered an explicit gesture of support for ukraine. zoe, daddy kate solidarity only european solidarity for the sovereignty and territorial

integrity of ukraine. del hyena. that is not up for debate, not for us, and not for me personally, but any further aggression would have a high price. is emphasized that to day once again, fission island on price rush is building up its troops on the ukrainian border. both the european union in the us have threatened to impose further harsher sanctions if russia goes ahead with an invasion. for years ukraine has called on germany to the liver, arms to help boost its ability to defend itself. calais by says russia doesn't share ukraine's corporate of attitude towards defusing. the tensions one is a mild, just look to muscle playing position. we have a very constructive stance on this matter doing this. but unfortunately, my are constructive. this isn't mutual on russia's part of seo was vocal issue, bear poppies came to revive for way peace talks in the normative format,

which includes germany, france, ukraine, and russia. lillian, also moscow correspond emily sherwin, how much of an influence germany and europe indeed ha, come have on russia, germany and even europe a basically have nothing to do with what they've been demanding in the talks that we've seen in the past few days. and, you know, the, the language that we've heard coming from russia in the last few weeks and months in december, russia issued demands on, on a limit to nato eastern expansion. and those demands were issued directly to the u . s. and now i'm after, you know, several rounds of talks last week with the us, with nato, and also with the os c, e. so with european countries, um, russia has demanded that the u. s. and nato issue a written response to its demands. so it seems like russia is basically only really willing to talk to the us um, when it comes to these security and abounds. and in

a way, europe is kind of on the sidelines watching emily, the used foreign policy chief, a joseph berella. i saw that the block was ready to prepare for the sanctions against russia. how long? hm. who didn't stick to his policies in the face of these sanctions. why? i think it's 1st of all important to point out that the russian side has repeated again and again that they are not planning an attack on ukraine. but they are also not willing so far to take the mil military threat off the table when it comes to sanctions from the russian point of view, the west really has no leverage and on russia. i think 1st of all, the u. s. has made it clear that they won't defend ukraine militarily, in case of an invasion. and today we've been hearing media reports, at least that one of the biggest sanctions that the west had been kind of holding

over are russia, which is that the country could be cut off from the swift banking a system that that could be off the table. the u. s. has denied that, but i think it, it looks like even the sanctions arsenault isn't too strong, at least from the russian point of view, which of course, the country has been become used to sanctions over the last few years as well. m o . sherman moscow there. thank you emily. tom, now to have look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world who see rebels and yemen have claimed responsibility for a drone strike in abu dhabi. the kill 3 people, united arab emirates vowed reprisals for the attack which targeted an oil refinery who these are at war with a military collision in yemen that is backed by the way, medics in sudan, se several protest. this was shot dead at demonstrations against military coup leaders. thousands of people turned out for the largest of the protests in the
