Hurricane Hector heading towards Hawaii's erupting Kilauea volcanoA major hurricane is cutting a path towards an active Hawaiian volcano where months of non-stop eruptions have already caused thousands to flee their homes. Scientists speculated that low-atmospheric pressure from Hurricane Hector could re-start major eruptions at the Kilauea Volcano, if it maintains its course over the southern edge of Hawaii's Big Island. Its current trajectory puts it on collision course with the volcano which is in the midst of a three-month-long eruption that has seen lava vents open under homes on its eastern flank while its summit crater collapses.

US progress in reuniting migrant families 'disappointing', says judgeThe federal judge overseeing the reunification of more than 2,500 migrant families separated by Donald Trump's administration said the government's efforts were "disappointing" – and it was its responsibility to unite them. Hundreds of families remain separated a week after the court's reunification deadline because the parents are no longer in the US or have been deemed ineligible for reunification by the government. "The reality is that for every parent who is not located there will be a permanently orphaned child and that is 100% the responsibility of the administration," said the US district judge Dana Sabraw in his San Diego court on Friday.
