5 live and online. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at 9. At least five people have died and several others are missing after a volcano erupted at a popular tourist site in new zealand. The eruption on white island happened just after 2pm local time. One tourist who was leaving the island, filmed the eruption as it sent a thick plume of ash and smoke into the sky. Other footage showed a group of visitors inside the crater. New Zealand Police say that around 50 people were on or near the island at the time, including travellers from overseas. Both New Zealanders and overseas tourists are believed to be involved. We believe a number of these tourists have come from the ovation of the seas cruise ship. We cannot confirm the nationalities of these people involved. Due to the current risk, Emergency Services are unable to access the island. Samantha olley is a reporter for nz me and joins me from north island. I know you have flown over in a helicopter and you can bring us the lates
