Mundo You're very welcome and now I want to cross over though and meet with Francisco Ledo he works at one of Conrad Disaster Reduction Agency in Guatemala so he often takes a look at the weather but he has now is caught up in understanding what has just happened there as well great to have you with us Francisco wash is the latest you are hearing. Good afternoon. So no you know you. Go up to. That well. I'm very sure. 'd we. All got. Some. About Clouston Burton told her her cool air but here in her 'd own warriors. Or pylons or a particular area but also I know a poor crime of words and low. So Francisco are all Francisco let me just repeat that which will not let me just repeat and ask for our listeners and I know there's a delay on the line it can be difficult to hear b. I think that I can hear you but I'm just going to repeat because you are in Guatemala City a city with a little bit of a scratchy line and Francisco is telling us no activity in the volcano which is good news but following that disaster sont news more than 25 dead he says others hurt 3000 of fact you ace it and I'm going to go back to Francisco in just a moment but as he talks to people that are evacuated I managed to get to speak to somebody just before I came down to you speaking to somebody just as sign of occupation zone he's about 30 kilometers from the volcano His name is Christian Hernandez just 18 years old in the city of Antigua that's just currently right now I'm walking trying to find a mask for my family because it's that the air is bad it looks like none of the places here at math they are already out so not so like you can if you don't want to breathe the air you kind of have to because no one everybody's running out of masses and there's not a lot of stuff a lot of people are walking trying to get higher ground in like everybody is trying to help sweep people outside like watering their cars trying to help everybody see because all the cars are all black and all the Ashes are on the motorcycles the cops everywhere a lot of volunteers who are looking at how to read in February but it wasn't like this never never existed and so the president did the president did call 1st they merged Mexico and Honduras officials are here to to help the people this morning out. You know kept coming down and so but everybody right now is just cleaning in walking around trying to help people trying to find maps a lot of buses are going up water tell me what does the air feel like as you breathe this. My God it's terrible you could feel it in your lungs in you like it making your eyes really and like all the cars are driving so like all the cars are picking up and they're like kind of throwing it back in the air. And experience it work then everybody's going to have some. People that buses. You can literally see the buses you're. That's Christian he's originally from California but has got caught up in that volcano we're going to hear more from him next hour on a us as well I mention my colleague Mary Ellen and I've asked is here from b.b.c. Mundo What are you hearing about this volcano when we heard what you just said that the confirmed death toll is 25 people at the moment this is 7 k. Now we have to remember that is surrounded by small villages and old foe what we know is that it was famous for being almost always constantly active but it has a very low activity but this one what I assume is that people got caught up surprised but these violent or option because it was a really violent your guest said it was the 2nd eruption in the year but none has been so violent as this one the last we know the last violent eruption 1974 but we didn't have any reports of that then let's bring in somebody and many to speak with us who is studying volcanoes functional just Dr Janine Crippen or concord University in West Virginia very welcome to the program Dr I began seeing in some of the news reports that there's now a pyro class to. Flow What is that. Yes a pirate flow is one of the most dangerous and deadly things that it can occur on a boat Kaner they are basically very hot avalanches there are a lot of solid rocks that go on along the bay and there are gas rich plumes in volcanic ash is pulverized rock that rise up and above the park well itself so we are beginning to see for example people appear to be filming a lot of aspects of this particular design or when you look at those videos what are you thinking it's horrifying it is absolutely horrifying seeing people standing in front of these things and filming them you darn understand how fast they going there a video of people standing on bridges and me and showing the park floor overwhelming the bridges if those people didn't move fast enough that would kill them because you are old so I suppose trying to get the word on what people should or should not do yes absolutely and the next hazard to be concerned about volcanic flows and those will also occur and the valleys around the volcano are so is there always. A sequence of events with something like this. It depends on the different type of Ok Go is a very active volcano or it has been deposited quite a bit of loose volcanic material and it is also on a rain heavy area so when heavy rains hit the ball cane our That is going to be washing the deposits away and these mud floors which carry a lot of debris and rock they are extremely dangerous and deadly as well so that is one aspect of this eruption that you can see that is going to happen I want to bring. Back in from b.b.c. Mundo What can you tell us about this area or perhaps even how well informed people would be and what to do in a situation like this when I said. There are many active volcanoes in the region and people are used to living in the. Situation but people are used to the activity . And the response was really quick but what happened is that the violence of the Russian people didn't have time to run so they have said that a lot of people trapped in their home Sunday are still there they come because of the labor. Surrounded the area we have people in different parts of the world that are helping us tell the story let us return to Guatemala City and to Francisco to ladle who works at Disaster Reduction Agency called Konrad in the city Francisco. Are people being told in the area and near the volcano is there to stay or to go. Francisco Can you hear me I know this line is not fantastic. You know what I think I'm sorry about that it's just as you can imagine there are so many colds coming in as well back and forth we were going to bring you again in the next hour the phone kept dropping but then reconnecting as people try to get information and out What do you think Dr. Would you tell people just to leave the area. When it comes to the areas that are affected by. It is more important be careful if you have preexisting lung conditions and it is important to not be breathing in the ash. Have in 95 face mask in particular eyes as he said that he's getting it in his eyes and it's quite pretty but stay indoors is the best way now closer to the volcano are the valley is a very dangerous and their people are in the evacuation areas they should leave they should not be there flows and a very quick very rapid and people do get caught and them as we've been fortunately saying actually Christian the teenager we were speaking to a little earlier in his big deal is he says you cannot find a mosque that that's what he was trying to do to find for his family becoming up into great difficulty now I knew you have been looking to video and there's always so much interest when these natural occurrences take place because they can have disastrous consequences but you can a whale. Know Is there any connection with these eruptions are absolutely not on any given day they're up to 20 volcanoes erupting around the world they just happen to be 2 that are and the media spotlight right now. I want to return to as I talk about the interest that there often is in these stories is a woman. And woman that's on one of the videos is on the b.b.c. Website and this poor woman she has a big family but she feels like a lot of them may have died in this particular eruption money I don't know what else are you seeing people obviously want to try and find out what's happening on the ground just of course we've been told that the police the Red Cross on the military have joined the rescue operation but they're flying over there we had the moment but there are many there's Had least 5 villages which are covert and they can't reach there at the moment the rescue. In the morning what amount of the moment so they trying to reach this area is there more to run than the volcano but this difficult to get there at the moment difficult also just decipher washes truth of what is fake. There was a warning in the. Website this morning that. The president what the president said to be careful because there's a lot of photographs on the Internet the people should be very aware of these false photographs of people coming and oxygen encrypt nurse who we've been hearing from doctor you've also been trying to debunk some of the fake images yes it's very important that people know what situation is actually occurring at the folks there right now if they're planning on visiting the volcano or the area or are they currently in the area it is crucial that people get the correct information is a lot of footage of a lot of clothes from killer whale in Hawaii that are circulating right now absolutely not it has a very different ring crippler volcanologist Concord University out West Virginia thanks to her also to my colleague my boss Francisco to Ledo in Guatemala City and Christian Hernandez who is about 30 kilometer. Years away from the volcano we're going to hear more from Christian next hour. On b.b.c. World Service I'm doing the governor and you're with me in this b.b.c.

I want to cross now to our b.b.c. 100 bureau and speak to my colleague Ponza for money you are working on a piece right now a lot of interest in this story. About the scoop pit latrines scandal in the country and the subtitle is why children are drowning explain this to our listeners that's one of those really sad stories that have shocked a lot of people. People weren't aware of. The state of some facilities in public schools so the story is that. Just over 4500 schools across the country are. Now basically this is a structure that's usually made of corrugated. Some sort of some sort of concrete at best. And what's brought. Of the country is that 2 children drowned. At school one in 2014 and another one more recently. In March and chance to speak to the father of the boy who died in 24th he was. Just 5 years old and the story is that Michael had just started school that week and had gone to. School and it gave he was on and. The corrugated iron. The family has described as. An old toilet and he was in there. And was found. At this point so distressing for the family and such a sad thing to happen to the little boy up there was. Some. Toilet. There also called. That they're almost a holdover from the apartheid era that's right I mean speaking. Such toilets exist in modern day. Given for this one it isn't. In that. Particular. So this is the best. Facilities were not extended to schools that were schools so that's the one part of it but also the other part of it is that those very bare minimum facilities haven't been properly maintained over the years which is why you had issues of the corrugated iron becoming rusty and. Not only just the not only. Not hygiene Nick increasingly authorities are finding that these opposing a serious threat to the lives of the when they're in schools why haven't they been changed there has been successive governments in a post apartheid South Africa that's right and that is the question the president has having to answer now because he is the man who came in a few months ago as the leader of the ruling African National Congress but also as the leader of the country people want to know that his government has been in power for 24 years why have they not done enough to make sure that these toilets do not exist in. And yes new schools have been pulled in recent years and one of the key one of the key features that. Toddler sized toilets in separate facilities for 4 for preschoolers but some people are saying this is too little too late too lives have been lost in a manner that nobody should have to die and that is a question that so having to answer to at the moment as pressure mounts on him to come up with the budget to make sure that these toilets exist for the Army thanks very much talking to us about a story she's working on right now in South Africa number perhaps you'd like to get in touch plus 447-730-7519 extension 25. Now just over the past couple of hours we spotted Jordan's prime minister Tony Wilkie has resigned after days of protests against tax rises and also austerity measures yesterday a sort of fortnight after those protesters 60 people arrested 42 injured and Sarah are 2 women who have been protesting over the past few days I asked them if they were happy that the prime minister had now stepped down let's begin with wrong for us no we're not because this was not our demand in the 1st place. Of the prime minister's. Oh it we want to begin with we have bigger demands our demands started with a new taxation policy that is unfair unjust and basically it's not only unfair and unjust we don't really see any return with all the taxation that we pay taxes as Sweden and we get infrastructure health education services about Somalia so basically this is why people in Jordan are very few and angry you're demanding more money we are in debt this step is caused by corrupt politicians who are money with their privatization plans took all our country's money and now we the people middle class and lower middle class have to pay for these mistakes so let me just let me just come in there for a
