Over in Chile, people living in the vicinity of the Calbuco volcano in Chile are trying to save their homes and their livestock after tonnes of ash rained down following two volcanic eruptions. 

The roofs of a number of homes and businesses collapsed under the weight of the ash and residents feared for their sheep and cows.


Soldiers have been deployed to help with the clean-up. The authorities have warned of the possibility of further eruptions.

They also said that should it rain, the ash could mix with debris to create dangerous mudflows. 

The Calbuco volcano in southern Chile erupted twice last week, forcing the evacuation of more than 6,000 people. 

Chilean authorities said on Saturday that the volcano had spewed out an estimated 210 million cubic metres (7,420 million cubic feet) of ash.
