Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:20:13 GMT

ROME (AP) — Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, was erupting on Sunday, spewing ash on Catania, eastern Sicily’s largest city, and forcing a suspension of flights at that city’s airport.Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, or INGV, which closely monitors Etna with instrumentation on the slopes, noted that cloud cover on a rainy day was impeding views of the eruption, which often serves up a spectacular display of flaming lava during the volcano’s not infrequent eruptions.The institute said that ash had fallen on Catania and at least one town on Mount Etna’s inhabited slopes. No injures were reported. Catania airport said due to ashfall, flight operations were temporarily suspended.INGV indicated that monitoring had recorded evidence of a stepping up in tremor activity in recent days.People in the towns of Adrano and Biancavilla reported hearing loud booms emanating from the volcano on Sunday, the Italian news agency ANSA said.Italy’s national Civil P...

Biden’s G7 summit shadowed by debt-limit drama at home

HIROSHIMA, Japan — When President Biden bailed on Friday’s welcome dinner for G-7 leaders after barely an hour, the White House said he was returning to his hotel for another briefing on debt limit talks back in Washington.The chatter on the ground was that he was just jet-lagged.On Sunday, when Air Force One departed Japan and began the 14-hour journey home, there was a similar sense of ambiguity. Was the president leaving on a high after three days of substantive diplomatic achievements — or beleaguered, returning to a high-stakes political drama back home that seemed to be deteriorating?The president’s trip to Asia was rife with dualities.Biden opened his closing press conference in Hiroshima by staking out a firm position in the debt talks.
