Lets start with the bad news... as it is the easiest to find ;D
Volcano Showers Villages with Rocks and Lava
An eruption of Ecuador's Tungurahua volcano showered rock and lava on nearby villages, killing AT LEAST one person, leaving 60 missing and burying homes.
Authorities ordered the evacuation of 3 Andean villages on Tungurahua's slopes on Wednesday after the volcano's crater filled with lava, but many residents were reluctant to leave their homes.
Rescuers have recovered one body in Penipe and 4 others are believed to be trapped under the rubble.
Now for the good news... this'l take a while...
Looted Peru treasure found in UK
An ancient Peruvian headdress which was looted from an archaeological site almost 20 years ago has been found by police in London.
It is considered a national treasure and disappeared in 1988 after a tomb in northern Peru was raided and its contents sold on the black market.
It was handed to a firm of solicitors in Central London by one of its clients who didn't know it was stolen. The headdress, depicting a sea god, dates back to 700AD. It is hard to put a price on history... but its estimated value is 1 million pounds....
