molten rock shooting out of the ground in the reykjanes peninsula in the south—west of iceland. not clear if those live pictures. it not clear if those eruptions will affect the town nearby whose 4000 residents were evacuated from their after lava reached the fishing town in the middle of last month. in november, icelandic officials began construction on dijks to channel lava flows away from homes. you can keep across those live feeds on the bbc news website. stay with us on the news channel. the weather has been so unpleasant for many, heavy rain, does not lecture and we have had the snow across the hills of northern ireland. snowing across northern parts of wales and northern england into southern scotland. this is the radar from england into southern scotland. this is the radarfrom earlier on. mostly heels know where it is following heaviest. not exclusively, wet covering of snow on lower ground. this evening in the pennines, some higher roots could get as much as 25 centimetres. take it steady this is the picture, temperatures above freezing but to the south much colder. cou

a state of emergency is in place in reykjanes peninsula after the volcano that erupted for the thirdbut still has caused significant damages. the images are extraordinary. rates have been destroyed and pipelines broken, cutting off hot water to part of the peninsula which is suffering freezing temperatures at the moment. schools, kindergartens, museums and other public institutions in the region are close today. it is hoped that the hot water will be restored within hours. there is a crack in the earth which is about two miles, which is three kilometres, long. you can see the lather there spewing across the road. really extraordinary images. that is all for me. i will be back shortly with the headlines. do stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. as temperatures have continued to rise, so the focus has shifted from snow to rain and flooding. this was the weather watcher picture taken earlier today in leicestershire. it's a combination of the rain and in some cases the melting snow that's led to a large number of flood warnings. the bulk of those have been across the midlands and s

for 800 years eruptions stopped on the reykjanes peninsula in south—western iceland, but began againths. the successive earthquakes and eruptions have come at a terrible cost for the people from the nearby but abandoned town of grindavik. last month, during a separate eruption, lava flows reached the town, consuming three homes. today's fissure isn't expected to push lava southwards towards the town. defensive barriers have been built up all around the area. a geothermal plant and the blue lagoon hot spring spa are also nearby. this eruption is likely to be short—lived, but the peninsula may now be entering a new era of volcanic instability and iceland will have to adapt, because nature will do what it wants. jessica parker, bbc news. figures out today show that delays in getting treatment for cancer in england last year were the worst since modern records began. the aim is for patients to start treatment after an urgent referral within 62 days. the target requires 85% to be seen within that time. but in 2023 it was just 64%. 0ur health editor hugh pym is here. how concerning is this

mire, ustedes en la península de reykjanes, al sudoeste de islandia, hizo erupción por tercera vez enicos temen que estas erupciones podrían continuar durante años, y las autoridades islas danesas han comenzado también a construir diques para tratar de desviar esos flujos de lava. y estamos viendo como, oye , son verdaderos héroes. esos. esos hombres que están manejando esas maquinaria. porque, imagínate, eso va muy rápido. la lava. a qué nivel se están exponiendo sus vidas para mejorar la infraestructura ahí? y qué sorprendente es que apenas a estas alturas del partido, sabiendo que eso ha estado ahí toda la vida, se estén enfrentando a tener que tomar medidas así de drásticas y así de rápidas. si vamos a seguir con más. así es. bueno, usted ya lo sabe, pero se lo queremos recordar. este fin de semana se va a realizar el superbowl. qué fiesta, qué fiesta! pero sabía que además está relacionado con el medio ambiente, el estadio donde se va a llevar a cabo ese partido, pues tiene un impacto positivo. para esto vamos con vianey arana, que nos explica. quizás no lo sepas, pero el superbo
