Bright lava lit up the night sky on the Italian island of Sicily on Monday as Mount Etna erupted for the first time this year. The volcano, one of the most active in the world, has been largely dormant for the last two years, but it sprung to life with bright orange lava spewing out high over the Mediterranean Island, eventually easing off by Tuesday morning. Catania airport, situated within 31 miles of the volcano, remained open, but authorities were tracking the movements of the ash cloud.

Britain's upper house of parliament defeated Prime Minister Theresa May's government on Wednesday, voting in favor of a change to her Brexit plan that says she can only trigger exit talks if she promises to protect the rights of EU citizens. The House of Lords voted 358 to 256 to make an amendment to the "European Union (Notification of Withdrawal Bill)" -- legislation that will give May the power to trigger the legal process of leaving the EU. The change requires the government to publish proposals on how to protect EU citizens currently living in Britain -- including their residency rights -- within three months of triggering exit negotiations.
