Watch as an elephant roams the streets of Butte, Montana, after escaping from the circus.

The massive animal, reportedly a 58-year-old Asian elephant named Viola, was being washed in a car park ahead of a performance with the Jordan World Circus when she was spooked by a car, sending her running.

Footage shows her running across the busy Harrison Avenue, in front of a casino.

The escape only lasted about 10 minutes, and Viola’s handlers corralled her back to safety, with neither the animal nor any people sustaining injuries.

Turkish lawmakers discuss Mideast in closed session after Erdogan's Israel claim
ANKARA (Reuters) -Turkey's lawmakers held a closed-door session on Tuesday to discuss the spread of war in the Middle East, a week after President Tayyip Erdogan made an unsubstantiated claim that Israel eventually aimed to encroach on Turkish territory. Israel has not publicly responded to Erdogan's claim, which analysts and opposition lawmakers say is far-fetched and is intended primarily to deflect public attention away from Turkey's economic woes. Israel has also not commented publicly on Tuesday's closed-door parliamentary session in Ankara, which is titled "Israel's occupation of Lebanon and developments in the region".
