Factbox: Previous volcanic eruptions in New Zealand

(Reuters) - At least five people were killed, up to 20 injured and several were reported missing after a volcano suddenly erupted off the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island on Monday, spewing a plume of ash thousands of feet into the air.

White Island: Tourist hotspot and New Zealand’s most active volcano

New Zealand's most continuously active volcano White Island has erupted, killing five people and leaving many more unaccounted for. Police said "no sign of life" could be seen on the island following the tourist attraction's latest eruption, so the death toll is likely to rise. The eruption sent huge plumes of smoke and ash into the air when it erupted on Monday afternoon. The threat level was raised last month following an increase in activity - meaning eruptions are more likely than normal and can happen with little or no warning. White Island last erupted three years ago.

Christmas markets, free-scoring teams & the Reds’ route to more European glory

European away days have it all, don’t they? Chris McLoughlin looks at the Reds’ trip to Salzburg with Christmas markets, barrelfuls of goals and reasons for optimism ahead of a must-not-lose-by-most-scorelines game. Salzburg Christmas Markets are said to be some of the best in Europe so it’s appropriate that supporters of the best team in Europe will be sipping their glühwein and tucking into their roasted hogs, before watching their local team being knocked out of the Champions League by the European champions on Tuesday night. Liverpool go to the Rouge Bos Taurus Arena top of Group E, needing a win to secure first position or a draw to ensure progress to the last 16. I’m reliably informed that even a 5-4 defeat would be good enough, but such a scenario seems unlikely given the Reds haven’t conceded five goals in a game for a good, err, six weeks now. Let’s not go overboard…

Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Elton John, Randy Newman Nominated For Golden Globes

This morning, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced its nominations for next year's Golden Globes. Once again, Thom Yorke didn't get nominated for anything. Instead, in the nominations for Best Original Song, you'll find three big centrist pop stars. Taylor Swift's song "Beautiful Ghosts," from the horrifying-looking forthcoming Cats musical is up for Best Original Song. (Swift co-wrote the song with Andrew Lloyd Webber, and the Golden Globe way is to simply name the songs themselves rather than the performers or songwriters.) She's competing against fellow heavyweight Beyoncé, also up for a track from a feline-themed musical. Beyoncé is up for the Lion King song "Spirit," which she co-wrote with Ilya Salmanzadeh and Timothy Lee McKenzie. A one-decade-later Kanye West stage-crash is not likely, but it's not impossible, either. Swift and Beyoncé's fellow nominees include Elton John, up for "I'm Gonna Love Me Again," from the Elton John biopic Rocketman. (John co-wrote that

Factbox: Previous volcanic eruptions in New Zealand

White Island: Tourist hotspot and New Zealand’s most active volcano

New Zealand's most continuously active volcano White Island has erupted, killing five people and leaving many more unaccounted for. Police said "no sign of life" could be seen on the island following the tourist attraction's latest eruption, so the death toll is likely to rise. The eruption sent huge plumes of smoke and ash into the air when it erupted on Monday afternoon. The threat level was raised last month following an increase in activity - meaning eruptions are more likely than normal and can happen with little or no warning. White Island last erupted three years ago.
