Five dead in Philippines volcano eruption

Five people are thought to have been killed when one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes erupted, throwing rocks on to a party of foreign climbers and their Filipino guides.

Several members of the party were also seriously hurt following Tuesday's eruption of the Mayon volcano in Albay province.

Three German climbers and a Filipino guide are among the dead, according to Albay provincial governor Joey Salceda.
