Pacific volcano: uncertainty in Tonga after eruption.

Newsday

Available for over a year

A great deal of uncertainty remains about the situation in Tonga following a large volcanic eruption on Saturday which triggered a tsunami. It's caused power cuts and severed communication. We hear more from Curtis Tuihalangingie, the Deputy Head of Mission for the Tonga High Commission in Canberra, Australia. The former president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko says he will return to Kiev today, despite the fact that he may face charges of treason once back in his homeland. And we'll hear about the $1.4bn project to build a new port in Sri Lanka on a man-made island.
