Bangladesh fire kills more than 100
A fire which raged through a densely-populated district of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, has killed at least 116 people.
The fire is thought to have started when an electricity transformer blew up; it was then fuelled by chemicals in a storeroom.
It engulfed a five-storey apartment block that had metal grilles on its windows and no fire escape.
Joy Mamun is the head of news for ATN Bangla TV and was at the scene of the fire in the Najirabazar area of old Dhaka.
