Sinabung eruption: Thousands flee volcano

Thousands of people living close to a volcano in Indonesia have been forced to leave their homes.

Mount Sinabung, which is located on the island of Sumatra, has been spewing hot ash down its slopes.

It is one of about 130 volcanoes currently active in Indonesia.

Until 2010 the volcano had been dormant for more than 400 years.
