It will take a better understanding of underground physics, but volcanologists believe it may be possible. In the summer of 1991, Pinatubo, a volcano in the Philippines, self-destructed. The eruption started on June 12, and three days later it culminated in a tremendous explosion . By the time pyroclastic flows--incandescent avalanches of molten rock and gas--tumbled down its sterilized slopes, Pinatubo's peak had been obliterated and replaced by a 2.5-kilometer-wide chasm. The eruption killed more than 800 people, mainly because roofs, weighed down by rain-saturated ash, collapsed. But it could have been so much worse: About 250,000 people, across multiple cities and a sprawling US Air Force base, lived in the volcano's shadow. When Pinatubo started convulsing and belching steam in April of that year, scientists from the US and the Philippines deployed an array of instruments that tracked the volcano's inner tumult. "We didn't know much about that volcano, and so there was this really rapid geological assessment. And the assessment said, 'Oh, crap, when this thing erupts, it only erupts big,'" says Mike Poland, current scientist in charge at the US Geological Service's Yellowstone Volcano Observatory.

'Really helpful': the AI bootcamps aimed at addressing UK youth unemployment In a youth centre opposite Preston bus station, the UK government is trying to address two of the greatest challenges facing the national economy: AI and youth unemployment. The hope is that one will solve - rather than cause - the other. In a room at the recently opened Vault, a community hub in the Lancashire city, an "AI bootcamp" is under way - part of a trial in the north-west to give 16-to 24-year-olds AI training. The bootcamp tutor is standing in front of a video screen and guiding the five attenders sitting around a long table on laptops through a task designed to emphasise the importance of glitch-free data in AI models.

'Nigel hits the jackpot' and'Dark day for democracy' Image caption, Almost every paper on Sunday leads on a record-breaking double donation of £72m to Reform UK over the weekend. The Daily Mail declares Nigel hits the jackpot, describing the way the jubilant Reform UK leader hailed it as an investment in democratic renewal. Farage told the paper that the £72m war chest would be used to professionalise the party. Image caption, The donation to Reform UK was courtesy of two cryptocurrency billionaires, according to the Sunday Times, who each gifted the party £36m. The paper calls it an unprecedented cash injection for Reform UK, and says the previous highest political donation was £10m, which was left to the Conservative party in a will.

University applicants in England will be given clearer information about student loans before they take them out, the government has said. Ministers said they would spell out that governments can change repayment rules and that different career choices can affect how much borrowers repay. They agreed to some but not all of the recommendations made by MPs after an inquiry into student loans, and did not say whether they would reverse a freeze to the repayment threshold for some graduates. The inquiry found the way loans had been presented to teenagers amounted to mis-selling, after the BBC revealed the Department for Education (DfE) had compared repayments to £30-a-month phone contracts. The recent debate has centred around Plan 2 loans, which were issued in England between September 2012 and July 2023, and are still issued in Wales.

Trump's comments on a united Ireland may have targeted audience across the Atlantic When another world leader meets US President Donald Trump the only certainty about what might happen is the uncertainty about what might happen. This was exactly the case ahead of President Trump's two-day visit to Ireland. Nobody could have predicted that by the end of the first day, the main global headline would be his desire to see a unified Ireland . As the shockwaves of his remarks rippled through this island and Great Britain, it was unclear whether this represented a new US administration policy, or an off-the-cuff remark from a president who likes to take questions from reporters, and likes to give answers. Former Republican Congressman Mick Mulvaney was Trump's special envoy to Northern Ireland in his first term in office. He cautioned against anyone reading too much into the president's remarks.

'It is clear that something did happen to the software developer labour market last year,' said an expert. 'It is clear that something did happen to the software developer labour market last year,' said an expert. AI may be denting computer science graduates' job prospects, UK data shows AI may be warping the job prospects for students in the previously high-demand subjects of computer science and economics, according to a detailed look into the careers of recent UK graduates. Data obtained for the 2027 Guardian University Guide published on Saturday shows that coding and software development were the fastest-falling occupations for graduates last year, while employer demand for graduates in well-paid roles in financial categories such as economists and management consultants also declined. Experts said graduates looking to work in those areas might be the first to be directly affected by the application of AI, and confirm predictions that AI would disrupt the labour market through agents increasingly able to produce software and analysis quickly and efficiently.

Report urges ministers to act early to mitigate the effects of robotaxis on England's 417,000 taxi and private hire drivers. Report urges ministers to act early to mitigate the effects of robotaxis on England's 417,000 taxi and private hire drivers. Taxes on self-driving cars should be introduced now in the UK to offset the rise in congestion and threats to jobs they pose, a thinktank has urged. The first robotaxis on London's streets only started this month, but government projections are that up to 40% of cars sold could have self-driving capability by the middle of the next decade. The report says widespread autonomous vehicle (AV) adoption would put hundreds of thousands of private hire jobs at risk, while individual ownership is likely to increase car usage at the expense of public transport, and increase congestion.
