Breaking....Volcano Erupts in DPS

Thousands of Bali-bound holidaymakers - including countless Kiwis - have been delayed due to volcanic ash wreaking havoc at Denpasar Airport.
Flight operators Jetstar and Virgin announced on Tuesday an eruption at Mt Rinjani in Bali had made flying conditions unsafe. Neither airline has resumed flights to Bali yet.
Volcanic ash - potentially hazardous to airline jet engines - spewing from Bali's Mount Ruang hit headlines in July and August this year when it caused hundreds of planes to be grounded.
Kiwi jetsetters are amongst those stranded in Australia and Bali at the moment, with no direct flights operating from New Zealand during low season.
It is not known exactly how many New Zealand passengers are affected as they have to change airlines in Australia to get to Bali. Air New Zealand flies directly to Denpasar only during the May to October high season. The airport at Denpasar was reopened on Thursday about 2.30pm local time. However, the risk from the ash cloud was still too high for flights to and from Australia to depart until possibly the weekend or next week, Jetstar said.
Jetstar spokesman Phil Boeyen said thousands of travellers would have been affected.
The airline cancelled 22 flights between Australia and Denpasar today, following the cancellation of another 16 flights on Thursday
