Three volcanoes on a remote island chain in Alaska have been erupting simultaneously for more than a week, NBC reported.

Two of the volcanoes, located on the 800-mile stretch of the Aleutian island chain, are spewing low levels of ash and steam.

Other volcanoes, including Pavlof, Great Sitkin, and Semisopochnoi Volcano, are under an orange threat level, which signals that eruptions are underway.

But due to their remote location, the eruptions currently don't pose a threat to any nearby communities. They have also not disrupted air travel, NBC reported.

Former chief crown prosecutor for the North West Nazir Afzal told BBC Breakfast on Saturday there were 10,000 people with incel views like Davison in the country.

He said: “How many of them, a small minority, are a threat?

“We have to recognise that we have a responsibility to identify them and share that information.”

Mr Afzal added: “We have now seen posts on various social media sites which paint a picture of somebody that has a very low opinion or had a very low opinion of women, who seemed to have a belief he was entitled to do whatever he wanted to, a real expectation that women were some kind of lesser being.

“That kind of extreme misogyny of the type we have seen here and in terms of the incel community is a threat to all women and, ultimately, to all our communities.”

The UK government is likely to consider treating so-called “incels” as terrorists if there are more attacks like the Plymouth shootings, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation has said.

Oil ended the week nearly flat as prices fell amid rising cases of the Covid-19 Delta variant and the closure of one of China's busiest ports as the US called for Opec to increase supply.

Brent, the international benchmark, and West Texas Intermediate, the main US gauge, rose marginally by around 0.2 per cent each for the week.

On Friday, Brent settled 1.01 per cent lower at $70.59 per barrel on Friday, while WTI fell 0.94 per cent to close at $68.44 per barrel.

Growing concerns over the potential of Delta-variant Covid-19 cases curbing global demand for crude also underpinned the weak market sentiment.

The world's largest crude buyer, China, closed one of its busiest terminals, Meishan, at the Ningbo-Zhoushan port after one positive Covid case. Ningbo-Zhoushan is the world's third-busiest container port. China, where the coronavirus was first detected, has a zero Covid-19 tolerance policy, shutting down major residential and commercial centres to contain outbreaks when cases are detected.

“News of the port closure has been a drag on oil prices, with crude turning south yesterday just as it was heading for the third day of gains,” said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda Europe.

“But the prospect of further strict shutdowns in China at the slightest hint of a breakout will have implications for growth in the world's second-largest economy and largest importer in the near term. The outbreak in China, irrespective of how small the numbers currently appear, is a key catalyst behind crude prices tumbling from their highs again,” he added.
