Story of the Week #816: TUESDAY November 30, 2021: ‘LAVA LANDí by ZUMA Press award winning photographer Kike Rincon of Contacto, who is currently in The Canary Islands covering this magnificent and dangerous volcanic event: The 2021 Cumbre Vieja eruption began September 19, 2021 at 15:12 local time, as a flank eruption at the Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge comprising the southern half of the Spanish island of La Palma in the Canary Islands. It is the first volcanic eruption on the island since the eruption of TeneguÌa in 1971. The lava stream has engulfed 2,800 acres of land and the eruption has damaged or destroyed nearly 2,700 buildings, forcing the evacuation of thousands from their homes. The volcano was under strict surveillance after more than 22,000 tremors were reported in one week, an indication of a pending eruption, which continues today with new lava vents opening up. The volcanic action has also become a tourist attraction. People have flocked to La Palma to watch the bright red flames as they shoot hundreds of feet into the sky. Scientists have said the latest eruption could last up to three months. Welcome to ëLAVA LAND’

zReportage.com Story of the Week #815: TUESDAY November 23, 2021: ‘Burlesque IS BACK’ by ZUMA Press award winning photographer
Karen Focht: Harley riding Burlesque dancer Velvetina Taylor has spent many months mastering the art of the tease in Memphis, Tennessee. The New York native and entrepreneur holds a master’s degree, but after pursuing various kinds of work in her lifetime, she says she has found what truly makes her happy and Burlesque dancing is a combination of all the things she loves. Through performers like Velvetina this old Victorian art has become new again. American burlesque shows were originally an offshoot of Victorian burlesque. The English genre had been successfully staged in New York from the 1840s. Burlesque comes from the Italian and means ‘mockery.’ Historically, Burlesque entertainment couldn’t compete with the rising popularity of movies and nightclubs; eventually, it fizzled out. However, it saw an underground resurgence in major cities across the United States in the 1990s. Today, those interested in burlesque, with its colorful feathers, sequins and rhinestones can still follow its stars and performances, not only in Memphis but at venues and festivals around the US.

Story of the Week #814: TUESDAY November 16, 2021: ‘Border Refugees’ by ZUMA Press award winning photographer Raquel Natalicchio who has been covering the migrant situation along the US-Mexico border: The US recorded more than 1.7 million interdictions of migrants along the southern border during the past 12 months, the highest figure of any fiscal year in history. Recently over 10,000 Haitians, would-be refugees fleeing an island nation that is rocked by political instability and economic depression, converged near Del Rio, Texas, and sought to stream into the US, creating a massive migrant camp under an overhead bridge in Coahuila, Mexico. With the US border recently re-opened many fleeing from violence and poverty at home, are again flooded with hope asylum will be granted. Currently in Tijuana around 1,0000 migrants live in the grubby and crowded El Chaparral camp, where dozens of families eek out an existence in flimsy tents. The government has cut off the electricity, stopped running water and removed bathrooms in the camp, leaving people with no way to bathe, wash their clothes or even cook food. With aid organizations not being allowed to drop off donations and supplies, many refugees believe they are being starved out of the camp. Welcome to: ‘Border Refugees’
