Europe correspondent Seamus Kearney discusses a state of emergency in Iceland, as authorities prepare for an expected volcanic eruption in the southwest of the island in the coming hours or days. A series of quakes and underground lava flows have been recorded in the Reykjanes area and thousands of people have been evacuated from a nearby fishing town. And in France, a march against antisemitism in Paris and other cities has caused political ructions.
