NEWS INTRO

In today's news, the Caribbean island of St Vincent has been blanketed in ash after the eruption of the La Soufrière volcano. Over 15,000 people have been displaced, just weeks away from hurricane season. Infrastructure and agriculture have also been severely impacted, and experts say the eruptions may continue for weeks or even months. The UN has launched a $20m fundraising appeal to aid with St. Vincent and help with recovery. On this day in history in 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurs at the Chernobyl power plant in the Soviet Union.
