#Philippines: 0:17...Mayon volcano erupts...
A massive plume of ash rose above Mayon Volcano in the Philippines on Friday as an eruption prompted authorities to raise the volcanic alert level and order evacuations.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the alert status to Level 3 on a five-level scale, warning of increased volcanic activity and the potential for more dangerous eruptions.
Residents within the volcano's 3.7-mile Permanent Danger Zone were urged to evacuate immediately due to the threat of lava flows and fast-moving currents of hot gas, ash and volcanic debris.

Russia’s most powerful nuclear-powered cruiser, the Pyotr Velikiy, is to be scrapped
It is the flagship of Russia’s Northern Fleet and the only operational nuclear-powered vessel of the Orlan-class project.
A commission has deemed the cruiser’s repair and modernisation unfeasible. The ship has completely exhausted its service life and is beyond restoration.
The cruiser was originally scheduled for modernisation after work on the Admiral Nakhimov was completed. However, repairs to the latter dragged on for eight years, during which time the Pyotr Velikiy became completely obsolete.
Two other cruisers of the same class, the Admiral Ushakov and Admiral Lazarev, have already been decommissioned and are awaiting scrapping.
Earlier, reports emerged that repairs to the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov had effectively been halted. The ship has been undergoing repairs since 2017, but work has virtually ground to a halt in recent months.
