Iceland has banned all flights over the country's largest volcano, which has just started to erupt. The Icelandic Met Office has issued a red alert to Europe's aviation industry - we ask a seismologist if we are likely to see the same level of disruption as the ash cloud of 2010. Also in the programme, we find out the latest on the British national who has contracted ebola in Sierra Leone. We have all the latest technology news, including why people are hacking into traffic lights. Dr Tim O'Brien explains how a satellite on the wrong orbit could be bad news for European GPS systems. And we'll find out about the comic that cost a few pence and could now be worth a few million.
