If you fancy some context to it - the fountain of lava erupting out of Hawaii's Kilauea is as tall as The Shard skyscraper.
That's heavy molten rock being thrown that far up into the sky.

It's kind of weirdly funny that BBC News is reporting that the BBC is being sued for $1 billion, but the BBC hasn't seen the letter yet so the BBC is citing other news chanels who are reporting about the BBC.

Chelsea Peers is an odd firm.
Only seems to advertise at Christmas with adverts that look a bit too close to a Christmas card from a "Trump supporting evangelical Christian family" for comfort.
Yet, the firm turns out to be a UK-based eco-friendly B Corp.
Weird.

Nick Robinson closed the Today programme emphasising that the BBC Board is *still* fighting over the wording of a statement over the Panorama programme.
it is very strange that BBC chair Samir Shah is hiding this morning. He should by rights be on the Today programme presenting himself as in charge and hands on the tiller. I wonder if he is frightened for his position
