📰 Stunning photos capture moment one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes erupts
Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, erupted for the second consecutive day, sending a column of smoke and volcanic material 11 miles into the sky. The explosion, which occurred early Saturday morning, covered nearby villages with debris, but fortunately, no casualties were reported. This eruption was one of the largest in Indonesia since the 2010 eruption of Mount Merapi, the country’s most volatile volcano. The volcano had also erupted the day before, with smoke and ash reaching heights of 6.2 miles, illuminating the sky with glowing lava and lightning. Indonesia’s Geology Agency observed searing gas clouds, rocks, and lava cascading down the mountain slopes up to 3 miles, with drone footage revealing deep magma movement and triggering seismic tremors. The volcanic material, including hot gravel, was thrown up to 5 miles from the crater, prompting warnings about potential lava flows during heavy rainfall. The volcano has been on high alert since a June eruption, leading to an expanded exclusion zone of 4.3 miles due to increased eruption frequency. Indonesia, with 120 active volcanoes and a population of 280 million, is located along the “Ring of Fire,” a region of intense seismic activity encircling the Pacific Basin.
📰 Migrant crossings through long-troubled Darién Gap plummet to near zero amid Trump crackdown
The article discusses the significant decrease in migrant crossings through Panama’s Darien Gap due to President Trump’s immigration policies and increased enforcement measures by Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino. In June, only 10 migrants crossed the once dangerous route, marking a 99.98% drop from the peak under the Biden administration in August 2023. The joint efforts of both administrations have deterred migrants from attempting the perilous journey, with officials noting that migrants are now turning back before reaching the U.S. border. The White House credits Trump’s policies for the secure border, highlighting that no illegal migrants have been released into the country recently. The DHS is focused on deporting undocumented immigrants and encourages them to voluntarily depart using the CBP Home App, which offers cash incentives for self-deportation.
📰 Cambodia to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize for role in ending country’s conflict with Thailand

Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol expressed gratitude towards Trump for his efforts in bringing peace to the region. This nomination follows similar endorsements from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistani officials for Trump’s involvement in resolving conflicts.

The ceasefire came after a week of clashes that left at least 43 people dead and over 300,000 displaced on both sides of the border.

A couple left their 10-year-old son at a Barcelona airport after his passport expired, so they wouldn’t miss their flight. The child was traveling with a Spanish passport that required a visa, which they did not have. The parents chose to leave him at the terminal and called a relative to pick him up.
