A second spectacular blast from the Calbuco volcano (inset) in southern Chile has covered nearby towns and villages in a thick layer of ash (pictured). Yesterday's dramatic explosion was the first time the active volcano had erupted in over four decades, shooting ash and smoke over six miles into the air. There are now serious fears the ash could contaminate water supplies and cause severe respiratory damage to locals. 4,000 people have already abandoned their homes in the cities of Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt, 18 miles away from the source of the eruption which one local described as 'an atom bomb'.
Miliband will bring back uncontrolled migration: After Mail urges him to speak out, Cameron gives stark warning
Prime Minister David Cameron has made a passionate plea to Ukip voters not to risk letting in a Labour government that will allow 'a return to uncontrolled immigration'. The Conservative leader has insisted that he understands people's 'fears and worries' about immigration, following a poll showing six in ten are unhappy with the Government's record. He promises to negotiate a 'new deal with Europe' that will address the most 'powerful draw' for EU workers, with a four-year ban on them claiming benefits. Shredding Labour's stance on immigration, he has warned that voters considering backing Ukip will increase the chances of Ed Miliband becoming prime minister. He said: 'If you're someone considering voting Ukip because you want a referendum on Europe and controlled immigration, remember that a vote for Ukip makes it harder for Conservatives to win ... Then you will get no referendum, and a return to uncontrolled immigration.'

Naked woman who opened her door to Nigel: On St George's Day, ROBERT HARDMAN joins the very frisky Ukip leader as he battles for his political life
Raising a pint to the patron saint of England, Nigel Farage (pictured on the campaign trail yesterday) is himself the toast of a considerable chunk of the electorate in Thanet South. His appearance on an impromptu walkabout down Ramsgate High Street causes even more head-turning, more selfies, more spilling out of pubs, more heckling and more chaos than the appearance of Boris Johnson a few hours earlier, writes ROBERT HARDMAN.
Bulgaria beats hotspots for best bargain breaks: Country's resorts named cheapest in Europe for a meal out, cup of coffee and sun cream
Resorts on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast (pictured) offer the best value in terms of a meal out and other essentials, according to a study which used an 'imaginary shopping basket' of typical holiday purchases. The former Soviet state has gained the most from the strong pound, which has cut the cost of visiting the continent. Research into an imaginary shopping basket of ten typical holiday purchases showed a total price of £37.39 for Bulgaria, which is down by 13.6 per cent from last summer.

Schoolboy, 11, with rare illness that makes his skin super sensitive to sunlight is subjected to racist abuse in the street because he has to wear brown suncream
James Creag, 11, is so sick of being taunted that he has stopped putting on the special cream - meaning that it is not safe for him to go outside. He suffers from the condition Erythropoietic Protoporphyria, whose victims are nicknamed 'real-life vampires' because their skin cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. James (pictured left wearing the special cream and bottom right with the horrific burns he receives when exposed to sunlight), from Salford in Greater Manchester, was given Dundee Reflective Sunscreen, a thick brown paste which blocks out the light. But when strangers shouted out abuse such as 'chocolate face' and 'you're coloured' because of his unusual appearance, he refused to wear it any more. He is pictured again top right with his mother Claire and younger sister Grace, who does not have the condition.
