make the volcano explode. white islandnd volcanoes that can erupt atany time, and it has had a history of erupting in this way over the last few years, but this is the first time that people have been directly affected. but is it difficult to predict volcanic activity like this on white island 7 because there were tourists in the area. yes, the thing about this eruption is that it was driven by the shallow hydrothermal system. so it was essentially sort of a cap or a seal on the shallow hydrothermal system that sort of popped as gases built up beneath it, and that is very, very hard to forecast. if magma had been rising up from below, we would have seen a lot more activity, and that would have resulted in a much greater eruption. about three weeks ago, we did start seeing some more some signs of increased activity, some changes in the gas amounts coming out of the volcano, and some earthquakes. and the alert level was raised to alert level two, which indicated that moderate or higher unrest was under way at the volcano, an

well and it was reported that the gas output and volcanic tremor levels on the island at the highest level since 2016 possibly suggesting that the volcano was entering a period where an option was more likely. a member of the press asked the prime minister on why there are still tourists within the area prime minister said there will be time for questions about how it was for people to be on white island on the high alert level but at this moment the focus needs to be on the search and rescue operation person thank you very much for bringing us up to date that was journalist corrosive paramita there in auckland new zealand now to some of the other stories making news around the world today global arms sales totaled 420000000000 dollars and 2018 a 5 percent year on year increase according to a report from the stockholm international peace research institute u.s. firms accounted for well over half of all weapons sold but chinese manufacturers were not included in the report due to a lack of data. police in india have a rest of the owner and manager of a factory destroyed in a blaze tha
