Swiss authorities say around 40 people were killed in a New Year’s fire – and more than 110 injured – many severely. The president has described it as one of the worst tragedies the country has experienced. The blaze broke out in a bar in the Alpine ski resort of Crans-Montana. Eyewitnesses say it was caused by a sparkler being held too close to a basement ceiling – though authorities say it’s too early to determine the cause.
