At least 16 people have been killed by a violent volcanic eruption on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, which sent ash spewing several miles into the air.
The dead include a TV journalist, four high school students and their teacher who went to see Mount Sinabung up close after being told it was becoming safer.
Only yesterday thousands of villagers were allowed to return to their homes on the slopes of the volcano despite the fact it has been erupting sporadically for four months.
