Now, we don't know the cause of this fire, but from what eyewitnesses are saying, again, from the moment it started, it moved very, very fast indeed and made it very difficult for people to get out.
It's not clear how well illuminated the exits were or whether even all the exits were free to get out of.
That will be...
discovered in the investigation.
Bars in this country operate in a fairly casual legal environment where corruption is endemic.
They often pay bribes to the police to be allowed to stay open when they shouldn't.
And there are presumptions that the same thing happens during inspections.
And when we know this pub...
was inspected as recently as April and presumably was found to be up to standard.

To the Chinese, he's a sort of Shakespeare, Moses and successor to Karl Marx, all rolled into one.
Well, I've just been talking to a very high-ranking official at the Vatican to hear how they are reacting to today's assassination attempt.

The migrant workers from Nepal and Bangladesh have described being threatened and beaten in the Malaysian factory where they made components for Dyson, having their passports withheld and being forced to work long hours in unsanitary conditions amounting, they said, to modern-day slavery.
When they filed their compensation case in 2022, Dyson stated that it had been unaware of the alleged abuses and that their Malaysian employer should be held responsible.
Dyson also argued that the case should be heard in Malaysia, not Britain.
However, the Supreme Court agreed that the trial could take place in an English court, establishing a precedent that British companies can be held to account in the UK for actions taken by suppliers in another country.
Under the terms of the settlement, the details of any compensation to the workers are not being disclosed and the lawyers representing them have echoed Dyson's statement that this deal is not an admission of liability on its part.
